The long-abandoned Parliament building in Kutaisi will go through major transformations, with plans to redevelop both the structure and its surrounding area. The goal is to repurpose the site into a hub for innovation and green public space.
The Kutaisi Parliament building has stood mostly unused since 2016 when legislative sessions returned to Tbilisi. Years of postponing necessary efforts have left its infrastructure in disrepair, prompting the need for comprehensive upgrades to electrical, heating and cooling systems.
The Municipal Development Fund has launched a market survey to determine costs for redesigning the surrounding territory into a new park. Results will inform an upcoming tender to carry out the project. Interested parties must submit pricing proposals by August 11.
Inside the building, the Innovation and Technology Agency has issued a GEL 9 million tender for renovations on the first and second floors. The bidding process is scheduled to run from August 13 to 18.
These efforts are part of a broader pre-election initiative to turn the former legislative complex into a Technopark that promotes innovation and technology. The agency also recently announced a GEL 711,000 tender for advanced robotic equipment, including humanoid and quadruped robots.
Together, the redevelopment and park projects are a significant change for the landmark site, making it a future-oriented space for technology and urban development.
