Agalarov Development in Uzbekistan — $5 Billion 2026
Agalarov Development, the company behind Sea Breeze Resort in Nardaran (see full details about the company), is not only operating in Azerbaijan — in June 2025, a significant agreement was also signed in Uzbekistan, expanding the company's operations to a completely third country.
What the agreement in Uzbekistan includes
According to reports, an agreement was signed between the Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade of Uzbekistan and Agalarov Development, with a reported scope of about $5 billion, for the development of the "Sea Breeze Uzbekistan" project on an area of about 577 hectares around the Charvak reservoir — with the first phase planned to cover about 100 hectares.
Background: From Crocus Group in Russia to Two More Countries
Emin Agalarov, who stands behind Agalarov Development, is the son of Aras Agalarov, founder of the Russian Crocus Group — a large business conglomerate in the fields of real estate, retail, and events (see full business biography). Agalarov Development, established in 2023, serves as a separate arm focusing on developing its own projects outside of Russia — and Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan are the two prominent examples so far of this move.
What this means for the company
| Project | Location | Reported Scale |
|---|---|---|
| Sea Breeze Resort | Nardaran, Azerbaijan | About 50 hectares, about 1 million square meters planned |
| Sea Breeze Uzbekistan | Charvak Reservoir, Uzbekistan | 577 hectares (total agreement), 100 hectares in Phase A |
Why the two projects are fundamentally different in nature
It is important to note that these are two completely different concepts: Sea Breeze in Azerbaijan is a seaside resort project, while Sea Breeze Uzbekistan is located around an inland water reservoir (Charvak) in a mountainous area — not an open beach. The use of the identical brand name ("Sea Breeze") reflects the company's unified branding strategy, and not a physical identity between the two sites.
Why this is relevant for investors in Baku
Such an international expansion indicates Agalarov Development's ability to raise capital and significant government connections — a relevant factor for assessing the stability and seriousness of the developer behind Sea Breeze Resort in Nardaran itself. However, it is important to clarify: these are two completely separate projects, in two different countries — progress in Uzbekistan does not directly affect the price, construction pace, or conditions of the Baku project.
Clarification: Do not confuse the projects
The Uzbek project should not be seen as a promise or guarantee regarding the timelines or final scope of Sea Breeze in Nardaran — each project is examined on its own, according to its current data.
What this means for the future
If the company indeed continues to expand internationally, it may positively affect capital raising and future reputation — but this is a general assessment only, not a guaranteed forecast.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the investment in Uzbekistan change anything for existing property owners in Sea Breeze in Nardaran?
Not directly — these are completely separate projects legally and geographically, but it may reflect the overall financial strength of the parent company.
Is Agalarov Development operating in any other countries beyond these two?
As of this writing, the main reported projects are in Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan — any further expansion should be checked against current sources.
