Athens is undergoing one of the most ambitious urban transformations in its modern history. From large-scale regeneration projects to sustainable mobility initiatives, the city is set to embark on a new chapter by 2030. These developments are not only reshaping neighborhoods and boosting living standards but are also creating significant opportunities for real estate investors. Below, we explore some of the most impactful projects and highlight how Oikos Property Developments stands to benefit directly from these changes.
The Ellinikon
Redevelopment of the former Ellinikon airport is Athens's showcase urban renewal project. Spanning over 6 million square meters, it will include luxury residences, commercial spaces, cultural venues, and one of the largest coastal parks in Europe.
Every development in the southern suburbs will gain from this transformation. Residents will enjoy proximity to a new international destination for leisure, shopping, and green spaces, making everyday life feel connected to a global landmark. The wider uplift in the Riviera area ensures lasting value growth and a cosmopolitan lifestyle for anyone choosing to live in these neighborhoods.
Aenaon Faliriko Delta
The redevelopment of the Faliriko Delta into the Aenaon Metropolitan Park is set to become one of the most striking changes in modern Athens. What was once a neglected stretch of waterfront will soon turn into a lively meeting point for culture, leisure, and nature. The plans include wide green spaces, water features, new pedestrian and cycling routes, and open-air areas that can host concerts, festivals, or simply evening walks by the sea. Just as important is the way Aenaon will link the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center with Flisvos Park and Marina, creating a continuous coastal corridor where residents and visitors can move easily between cultural venues, seaside promenades, and recreational areas.
Choosing to live in Thiseos Service Apartments, Knowlodge, Flisvos Suites, or Riviera Suites Faliro means waking up next to one of Athens’ most dynamic urban parks. Residents will enjoy morning jogs by the sea, cultural events within walking distance, and a direct link to one of the most vibrant leisure hubs in the city. This unique combination of seaside tranquility and cultural access makes these projects ideal for buyers seeking the high-end lifestyle of the city and long-term value.
Metro Line 4 Expansion
Metro Line 4 is the largest public infrastructure project currently under construction in Greece. The first phase will connect Alsos Veikou to Goudi through 15 new stations, creating a U-shaped line that will traverse key neighborhoods and connect to existing metro lines.
For residents of Elikon in Kypseli, this means unparalleled convenience. Living just steps away from a new metro stop transforms daily life: easy access to universities, workplaces, and cultural hotspots without the hassle of traffic. This connectivity not only enhances quality of life but also secures long-term property value, as homes near metro stations consistently command higher demand.
The New Cycling Network
Athens is catching up with other European capitals by investing in an extensive cycling infrastructure. Τhe city will have created 17 kilometers of new bike lanes, eventually expanding to a 50-kilometer metropolitan network linking Thiseio, Kifisia, and the southern suburbs along the Athens Riviera. This includes the largest coastal cycling route in Europe along Poseidonos Avenue.
For all residents, the cycling network will offer a healthier, greener way of moving around the city. It provides the option to swap the car for a bike, enjoy stress-free commutes, and experience the city’s neighborhoods more intimately. This lifestyle upgrade is set to make Athens a more enjoyable and livable capital, especially for families and professionals who value sustainability and active living.
Athens is reinventing itself, blending modern infrastructure with sustainable urban planning. These projects are not only transforming the cityscape but also opening unprecedented opportunities for investors. For property buyers, aligning with a developer who strategically positions its projects around such developments is key.
With a strong presence in the city’s most promising areas, Oikos Property Developments is uniquely poised to benefit from Athens’ urban renaissance, making now the perfect time to consider investing in the city’s future.
