[vc_row njt-role=”people-in-the-roles” njt-role-user-roles=”administrator,editor,author,armember”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The Ellinikon is one of the largest urban projects in Europe. Located on the coast, 45 minutes from the city center of Athens, it will soon take the form of an eco-responsible city without equal on the old continent. A vast resort that will consist of a business park and upscale hotels.

 

The Ellinikon represents the future and development of Greece in terms of eco-responsibility and sustainability. The project is expected to house the Riviera Tower, the future tallest building in Greece and the first skyscraper, with construction expected to be completed by March 2026.

 

This futuristic project will consist of a sustainable smart city of 6.2 million square meters located on the site of the former Athens airport. It represents a new global standard in resilient urban design, smart living and investment growth opportunities, almost doubling the amount of green space in the Athens metropolitan area.

 

 

Built from A to Z and covered in just 15 minutes, the Ellinikon will offer residential and commercial offers but also recreational, retail, catering, entertainment, education and athletics facilities, making this project one of the most innovative and diversified destinations in Europe, both for residents and tourists.

Designed by architectural studio Foster + Partners, the Riviera Tower will house a collection of one- to five-bedroom residences and penthouses. Residents will be able to admire and enjoy the extraordinary views as well as easy access to the beach.

 

We are at a time in history when sustainable development and investment must be bold to meet the need for change in the design of urban experiences,” said Odisseas Athanasiou, CEO of Lamda Development. “The Ellinikon will have a transformative effect on both Greece and the world, bringing a new standard for smart and inspiring indoor and outdoor spaces, while significantly advancing the sustainability of the places we live, work and have fun in the long run“.

 

The Ellinikon is attracting considerable interest from investors, consumers and the public. The first part of the park delivered to the public -the Experience Park- exceeded one million visits in less than a year. In addition, the Ellinikon Experience Centre, a unique and impressive visitor center giving a glimpse of the future city of Ellinikon, has quickly become a must-see destination in Athens.

 

This project is associated with great creative minds, including Foster + Partners, Kengo Kuma & Associates, Aedas and Sasaki architects, for the design, while world-renowned brands have signed agreements and memoranda of understanding to be part of it. And the fallout promises to be impressive. The project is expected to generate €14 billion in additional government revenue, 85,000 jobs and about 2.4% of Greece’s GDP.

A city in the city

 

Ellinikon’s two main shopping districts will associate global brands with local names, representing key elements of the new ecosystem.

 

The Riviera Galleria, designed by Kengo Kuma, will offer a real living experience in a charming architectural setting. The mall will be the largest in the country with state-of-the-art stores and office space. 50% of rental space has already been contracted. By the end of 2023, it is expected to increase to 65%.

 

The Ellinikon’s residential buildings are also in high demand, as they are unlike any other in Greece. From luxury eco-friendly and technological residential towers to bespoke beachfront villas and modern park-front residences, everyone dreams and sees themselves there.

 

Since its launch, interest has been unprecedented in Greece. The first residential products placed on the market have already been sold, for a total commitment of 1.1 billion euros from buyers. Lamda Development plans to launch other residential offers on the international market in the near future.

 

Other highlights of the development include the mixed-use tower of the shopping center, which will become the new prestigious commercial address of Athens and the tallest commercial building in Greece. It will also feature many other things like a casino, five-star hotel as well as meeting rooms. The other two hotels of the Ellinikon project are the Marina Hotel and the Beach Hotel.

 

This green project will highlight many commitments such as the development of low-carbon buildings, green infrastructure and green spaces, to achieve carbon neutrality and self-sufficiency in irrigation and electricity.
