About HOLM

HOLM Developments

From land to living.

The HOLM story

HOLM was founded on the belief that exceptional developments are shaped by patience, foresight, and purposeful decisions. For more than two decades, we have carefully built our foundation by acquiring land, understanding markets, and planning for the future.

Today, HOLM creates residential communities that reflect this long-term approach, bringing together considered design, strategic locations, and a deep understanding of how people want to live. As we continue to expand across new markets, our focus remains the same: creating places that stand the test of time.

In Georgia

ONE PENINSULA is HOLM’s first development outside the UAE.

  1. HOLM announces its first project outside the UAE, at Ambassadori Island, Batumi.
  2. ONE PENINSULA is introduced to the Georgian market.
  3. HOLM announces an international investment and development agreement with Ambassadori Island Batumi.

The agreement represents an investment of more than USD 250 million and includes a 140,000 sqm multifunctional complex within Ambassadori Island. Sergey Avayan, CEO of HOLM Developments, and Gocha Kamkia, CEO of Ambassadori Island Batumi, signed it.

These figures cover the island agreement, not ONE PENINSULA alone.

From land to living

HOLM chooses the location first, then designs homes around the people who will live in them.

Vision
To shape places that remain relevant over time, where architecture, location, and intent create lasting value.
Mission
To develop considered projects through disciplined planning, restrained design, and responsible delivery.
