Cityzen, Skyline and Domus Nea. Three landmark projects. Two countries. Over 746,400 m² of construction. One project management company.

There is a question that developers and investors ask before committing to any market: does the professional infrastructure exist to deliver projects at the scale and standard we require?

In Georgia and Armenia in 2026, the answer is yes. CMC Construction Management Company — has spent 16 years building the team, methodology and international partnerships to manage the most complex residential projects in the South Caucasus. The evidence is in the portfolio.

Cityzen, Tbilisi — Managing Zaha Hadid’s First Georgian Project

Cityzen — Zaha Hadid Architects | Tbilisi, Georgia | 300,000 m² | LEED Gold | Completion 2028

Cityzen is the most architecturally significant residential project in Georgia’s history. Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects — their first project in Georgia — the 42-storey tower rises from the site of the former Soviet Military Headquarters to frame Tbilisi’s Central Park. The building’s gently twisting profile and diamond-shaped pinnacle are designed to maximize daylight and views across every level while maintaining microclimate comfort throughout the structure.

Targeting LEED Gold certification, Cityzen incorporates natural ventilation systems, solar-shading louvers, rainwater reuse infrastructure and native greenery. Over 250 mature trees are being preserved on the site — a design commitment that requires careful construction sequencing and site management throughout the build.

CMC’s Role — Full Project Management

CMC manages the complete project delivery envelope on Cityzen, covering:

• Design Management — Coordination of designers and consultants of all disciplines
• BIM Coordination — managing clash detection and model integrity across all disciplines
• Quality Control — ensuring construction standards meet both client and LEED Gold requirements
• Value Engineering — identifying cost optimization without compromising design intent
• Budget and Timeline Management — real-time financial tracking and program oversight
• Risk Management — identifying and mitigating risks across design, procurement and construction phases
• HSE Management — Health, Safety and Environment protocols across the site
• Contract Management — FIDIC-compliant administration of all contracts
• Document Control — centralized management of all project documentation
• Construction Supervision — on-site oversight ensuring contractor work meets quality and programme requirements
• Scheduling — master programme management and progress tracking throughout design and construction phases
• Design Review — independent review of design documents and specifications prior to construction
• Tender Management — procurement strategy, tender preparation and contractor selection process management
• Cost Estimating — preliminary and detailed cost planning throughout the project lifecycle

On a project of this complexity — an international architect, multiple specialist consultants, a demanding sustainability certification target and a 42-storey structure in the heart of Tbilisi — integrated management is not a convenience. BIM model updates, payment certificates, variation orders and LEED documentation requirements all flow through CMC’s management framework. That integration is what makes delivery predictable.

Skyline by Renshin, Yerevan — Regional Reach at $500M Scale

Skyline by Renshin — LaGuarda.Low International · Engineering by ARUP | Yerevan, Armenia | 350,000 m²

CMC’s management capability extends across the region. In Armenia, CMC operates across multiple sectors and project types — in the residential market, the company is providing Quality Assurance and Quality Surveying services on Skyline by Renshin — a 350,000 m², $500 million development that brings together architecture by LaGuarda.Low International and engineering by ARUP.

ARUP is one of the world’s most respected engineering and sustainability firms, working across infrastructure, buildings and the built environment globally. Their involvement in Skyline signals the level of technical ambition and international credibility the project carries. CMC’s QA/QS role on Skyline means that every structural element, every MEP installation and every finishing specification is verified against the project’s quality benchmarks before it is accepted.

QA/QS — What It Means in Practice

Quality Assurance and Quality Surveying on a project of Skyline’s scale covers two parallel tracks. On the quality side: independent inspection and verification of completed work, management of non-conformance reports, and the documentation trail that protects the client’s investment throughout construction. On the quantity surveying side: certification of quantities for payment purposes, cost benchmarking against the approved budget, verification of contractor valuations, and variation cost assessment — ensuring that every payment issued reflects work actually completed to the specified standard.

CMC’s QA/QS role on Skyline is a direct extension of the same integrated management methodology the company applies on full project management engagements — the difference is scope, not standard.

Domus Nea, Tbilisi — Full Scope from Pre-Construction

Domus Nea — Tbilisi, Georgia | 96,400 m² | Full Project Management

Domus Nea is a residential complex in Tbilisi — two residential blocks and commercial areas — developed with distinctive architecture that responds to the urban character of its location. CMC manages the project from pre-construction through to delivery, covering the full project management scope.

Full PM Scope on Domus Nea

Design Management, Tender Management, Construction Management, Quality Control, Value Engineering, Budgeting and Scheduling, Risk Management, HSE, Contract Management and Document Control. This breadth of scope — from the tender packages that brought the contractor on board, through to the construction management oversight that ensures delivery — reflects how CMC approaches residential projects at this scale.

Pre-construction management is often underestimated in its impact on project outcomes. CMC’s involvement from the design management phase on Domus Nea means that contractor selection, scope definition, programme baseline and budget benchmarks were all established under professional management before a single element was built. The construction phase builds on that foundation.

The Common Thread

Cityzen, Skyline and Domus Nea are different projects — different countries, different scales, different architectural visions, different client profiles. What they share is the CMC management framework: a methodology built around integrated data management, FIDIC-compliant contract administration and direct accountability to the client at every stage.

We are not managing these projects separately. The same management principles, the same reporting standards and the same quality controls apply on Cityzen as on Skyline as on Domus Nea. That consistency is what allows us to scale across markets without losing the precision that protects our clients’ investments.

For Georgia’s property market, the significance of these three projects together is that they demonstrate what the country’s construction management sector can deliver. Zaha Hadid Architects chose to work in Georgia. ARUP is engineering in Armenia. International capital is flowing into the South Caucasus. The professional infrastructure to manage it — at the standards that global partners and institutional investors require — is here.
