Ellinikon: A New Era of Urban Living
The Ellinikon project is Europe’s largest urban regeneration initiative, transforming the former Athens airport into a vibrant metropolitan hub. Spanning residential, commercial, recreational, and green spaces, this iconic development aims to set new benchmarks for urban sustainability and innovation. At the heart of this transformation lies the Integrated Development Plan (IDP), the roadmap guiding the project’s ambitious goals.
To ensure the successful realization of this vision, Hellinikon S.A. has enlisted an Implementation Advisor (IA) to oversee execution, navigate complexities, and deliver unparalleled expertise across technical, financial, and legal dimensions
This transformative endeavor encompasses monitoring timelines, resolving challenges, and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks, all while guiding one of Europe’s most ambitious urban regeneration projects

The IA’s role spans three critical domains:
- Technical Expertise
To support the successful execution of the IDP, the IA monitors progress across all technical aspects of the project. This includes ensuring that investment obligations, infrastructure, and common areas are developed as planned, within budget, and according to agreed priorities and timelines. The IA also conducts detailed technical reviews to identify and assess potential delays or amendments to the project’s phasing and deliverables. Special attention is given to the Metropolitan Park, one of the development’s flagship features, ensuring its design and implementation meet regulatory and sustainability standards. In addition, the IA provides expert advice on technical issues tied to the legal and regulatory framework governing the project, offering practical solutions to resolve challenges and ensure seamless progress. By preparing detailed reports and recommendations, the IA helps the project team stay on course while navigating the complexities of urban development.
