In an increasingly fast-paced construction landscape, one Georgian development company is choosing a different direction—one that respects heritage and, of course, remains committed to quality. Founded in Kutaisi, Lokross is not just building apartments; it is creating a shared community that honors the past while being grounded in the present.
Started as a shared idea among a small group of individuals, Lokross was created to give new life to Kutaisi while respecting the city’s unique cultural and architectural identity. “We wanted to create spaces that reflect the spirit of the city and its people, while contributing meaningfully to its development,” say Guram Shalamberidze and Giorgi Makasarashvili, the founders of the company.
Lokross’s philosophy rests on three pillars: thoughtful location, honest construction, and comfort. These values are clear in its current residential projects, Inside Bukhaidze in Tbilisi and Ortachalis Turfa, each catered to the needs of modern residents while taking local context into account.
Location as a Foundation
For Lokross, every project starts with choosing the right location. “We prioritize ecologically clean, safe, and well-connected areas that offer both tranquility and convenience,” the company explains. The idea is simple but meaningful: where you live should improve your life, not complicate it.
For instance, Inside Bukhaidze is located in a dynamic urban area surrounded by schools, kindergartens, public services, sports facilities like the Olympic pool and football fields, and retail centers such as Carrefour. The project aims to locate everyday essentials within walking distance, lifting the burden of city life.
In Ortachala, the design and materials pay tribute to Old Tbilisi’s charm. The use of traditional Georgian brick, terraced architecture, and river views creates a connection to the city’s historic character while still delivering modern standards of energy efficiency and ventilation. “This isn’t decorative nostalgia; it’s functional design rooted in place,” the founders say.
True Quality
In a crowded market where ‘premium quality’ is often reduced to a marketing tactic, Lokross is bringing substance back to the term. “Premium doesn’t mean just using expensive materials. It means every aspect of the work, from materials to craftsmanship, is handled with expertise and care,” the team states.
That’s why Lokross collaborates with Floors, a trusted construction company with years of proven experience. Each phase of development undergoes thorough review, from material origin and durability to energy performance and safety. “Our construction process is guided by real professionals—people who know how to deliver long-lasting results,” they add.
Comfort Beyond the Apartment Walls
Lokross designs its buildings with full lives in mind. Their developments offer not just housing, but carefully chosen amenities, such as modern elevators, secure underground parking, and natural ventilation, that support residents’ well-being. “We’re partnering with local businesses to provide in-building services like gyms, wellness zones, cafes, and common spaces that enhance everyday life,” the founders state.
Adaptability
What makes Lokross different is its flexible, people-oriented approach. “We always try to meet buyers halfway,” the company notes, emphasizing adaptability. A summer promotion will offer discounted prices and customized purchase terms on in-demand apartments, making quality living more accessible.
Lokross is focused on sustainable growth and innovation. “We aim to bring global standards to Georgia while staying rooted in our communities,” the team adds. With a long-term vision and commitment to development, Lokross is building more than homes—it is shaping an urban future.
