Babillon Tower

Babillon Tower (Georgian: ბაბილონის კოშკი) is a skyscraper under construction (currently on hold) in Batumi, Georgia. It is approximately 190 meters[1] tall (47 stories[2]). Once complete, it will be the tallest skyscraper in Batumi after the Orbi Twin Towers (50 stories). The Babillon Tower will become one of many new buildings constructed in Batumi in recent years, leading to a renewal of the tourist industry.[3] The construction is overseen by Omer Ilknur[2] and was to include a 4-star hotel, a casino, residences, social facilities, shops, offices, cafes, restaurants, and bars.[4]
