The Ellinikon, an urban regeneration project, has reached a construction milestone. The project is being built on the site of the former Athens International Airport and aims to create a tech-powered, 15-minute city that integrates human and ecological sustainability.
Located on a 3.5km of prime coastline outside Athens, the project will double the amount of green space in the metropolitan area, forming one of the largest coastal parks. It will also establish an urban retail district, featuring the Commercial Hub, the largest and most contemporary commercial complex in Greece. Designed by the architectural firm Aedas, the Commercial Hub will be complemented by the Riviera Galleria, undertaken by the Kengo Kuma & Associates, said a statement.
The Ellinikon will offer 8,000 new homes across various price points, catering to residents from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, it will include a business district, health, educational, and sports facilities. Two 5-star hotels, a 3.5km coastline, a beach, and a 310 berth marina, including super yachts, will also be part of the Ellinikon’s amenities.
The project will feature the Foster + Partners designed Riviera Tower, which is set to become Greece’s key residential destination and tallest high-rise building. Other global architecture and design firms involved in the project include Bjarke Ingels Group and Sasaki.
To immerse visitors in the Ellinikon’s vision, The Ellinikon Experience Centre (an interactive hub), has opened its doors to the public. This centre showcases the project through play and discovery, allowing guests to experience the future that awaits them. With 25 floors completed, the building currently stands 113m high, which is halfway toward its final height of 200m. Completion is expected in Q1 2026 as part of Phase 1 of the development.
Riviera Tower aims to sets new standards for luxury, sustainability, and urban living. Spanning 50 floors and offering 169 residences, from one bedroom apartments to penthouses, the tower boasts views of the Athenian Riviera. LAMDA Development, a subsidiary of the Latsis Group, is leading this project. Upon completion, the Ellinikon is projected to generate up to 80,000 employment opportunities and contribute 2.5% to the Greek GDP.
