According to official data released by the National Statistics Office of Georgia (GeoStat), a total of 2,472 construction permits were issued across Georgia between January and March 2026, representing a 4.8 per cent increase compared to the same period last year.

These permits cover the construction of buildings and structures with a combined area of 2,367.6 thousand square metres. GeoStat reports that nearly three-quarters of these permits are concentrated in four regions, with Tbilisi accounting for 48.7 per cent of the planned construction activity, followed by Kvemo Kartli at 10.1 per cent, and Kakheti and Mtskheta-Mtianeti regions each representing 7.8 per cent.

Notably, during the first quarter of 2026, permits were issued for a diverse range of projects, including multifunctional residential complexes, shopping centres, hotels, industrial facilities, agricultural buildings, and other structures.

However, the agency’s report also indicates a slight decrease in the number of facilities put into operation. A total of 683 facilities, covering an area of 722.5 thousand square metres, were commissioned in the same period, a 2.1 per cent decline compared to January-March 2025.

More than two-thirds of these operational facilities are located in four regions: 31.8 per cent in Tbilisi, 13.8 per cent in Mtskheta-Mtianeti, 12.3 per cent in Kvemo Kartli, and 10.7 per cent in Kakheti.
