The Ellinikon: a new way of living

A new world-class destination. A new ‘smart’ and ‘green’ city on the Athens Riviera constitutes the largest urban regeneration project in Europe. The vision of LAMDA Development for The Ellinikon t is the design of a pioneering development for Athens, with emphasis on the creation of a world-class Metropolitan Park covering an area of 2,000,000 sq.m., as well as the upgrade of the Coastal Front, both fully accessible to the public.

With views of the endless blue of the Aegean Sea and breathtaking sunsets, The Ellinikon is the ultimate year-round destination.

The Experience Park is the first of the large and emblematic projects to be built in Elliniko. In the area of the historic Athens International Airport, where the three hangars of the Air Force dominate, The Experience Park is a green oasis that offers unique experiences for all visitors. The park – designed by the architectural office Doxiadis – marks the beginning of a wider urban regeneration. It is the first part of the Hellinikon Park and “introduces” the great project of Hellinikon to the general public.

Elliniko, designed by the internationally renowned architectural office “Foster Partners”, is the largest urban renewal project in Europe. It is an iconic destination centered around one of Europe’s largest coastal parks: Hellinikon Park.

It already counts hundreds of visitors every day who descend on the southern suburbs either to enjoy some coolness by the fountain – the benchmark of The Ellinikon Experience Park – or a few moments of relaxation in the Zen garden, or even to take advantage of the abundant space for exercise, running and other outdoor activities.

The project consists of an integrated urban development model that will combine the area’s natural beauty and unique inherent characteristics with landmark buildings standing out for their state-of-the-art architectural design. The sustainable design approach of the project will offer world-class services and amenities while improving the standard of living of the entire Attica area’s inhabitants.

The project will include residential developments, hotels, shopping centers, family entertainment venues, museums, cultural venues, health and wellness centers, sports infrastructure recreation spaces, a modern business park with an educational and R&D hub as well as the total regeneration of the existing marina and the entire Coastal Front that, along with the Park, will be the major attractions of the site.

The project constitutes the largest urban regeneration project in Europe, designed to add significant new investments and uses in the areas of tourism, culture, entrepreneurship, innovation, and the environment. expected to have a positive effect not only on the region of Attica but on the entire country as well.
