16 Market Assessment The Georgian commercial real estate market is still in the process of emerging from Soviet-style open markets and bazaars to modern shopping centers. Based on the future development pipeline, the next 3-4 years will see an additional 150,000 m2 of shopping center space come on-line. Demand for commercial real estate is largely driven by the high growth rate of retail turnover in Tbilisi. From 2003 to 2008 retail turnover in Tbilisi grew by almost four times and from it is estimated to have continued to grow at a fast pace. As in most markets, the growth of GDP per capita and the accompanying rise in levels of disposable income will affect demand. Modern shopping centers represent attractive investment opportunities for Georgian and foreign developers as the retail real estate space is one of the most expensive property categories in Georgia. Currently, A-class shopping centers can charge up to USD 100 per month per square meter. Rental rates in B- class shopping are in a range of USD per month / m2
