Riviera Tower is the defining residential landmark of Ellinikon, a large-scale coastal regeneration project transforming the southern edge of Athens into a modern urban destination. Developed by Lamda Development and designed by Foster + Partners, the tower introduces a new typology of vertical living to Greece, combining high-rise architecture with Mediterranean lifestyle principles.
Rising approximately 200 meters with around 50 floors, Riviera Tower is set to become the tallest residential building in Greece and one of the most prominent coastal skyscrapers in Europe. Its design is based on biophilic and climate-responsive principles, with a strong emphasis on natural ventilation, solar shading, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The architecture incorporates a vertical green spine, expansive terraces, and adjustable external screens, allowing residents to control privacy, light, and airflow while maintaining unobstructed views of the sea and surrounding landscape.
The residential offering consists of a collection of premium apartments ranging from one to five bedrooms, along with a limited number of penthouses positioned on the upper floors. Each residence is designed to maximize panoramic views across the Athens Riviera, including the Aegean Sea, the Acropolis, and the broader Ellinikon masterplan. Large floor-to-ceiling openings and deep balconies extend the living space outward, reinforcing the connection between interior comfort and the coastal environment.
Riviera Tower is not positioned as a standalone building but as part of a fully integrated waterfront ecosystem. The broader Ellinikon development includes a vast metropolitan park, marina, beachfront zones, retail districts, hospitality assets, and leisure infrastructure, creating a self-sustained urban environment. Residents benefit from direct access to this ecosystem, placing them within walking distance of high-end lifestyle and recreational facilities.
The tower offers a comprehensive range of resident-focused amenities, including a multi-level entrance lobby, concierge services, wellness and fitness facilities, spa areas, swimming pools, and business-oriented spaces. Smart living systems are integrated throughout the building, while advanced construction standards and energy-efficient technologies support long-term performance and sustainability. The project has been designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, positioning it as one of the most environmentally advanced residential buildings in the region.
From a market perspective, Riviera Tower represents a premium segment investment aligned with long-term urban transformation. As part of a multi-phase masterplan, its value is directly linked to the evolution of Ellinikon into a fully developed coastal city. The project has already demonstrated strong demand, with the coastal residential segment reaching full sell-out status early in the development cycle, reflecting both domestic and international interest.
Construction began in 2022, with the project progressing through multiple structural milestones and a current completion target set for the first half of 2027. As development advances, Riviera Tower continues to define the future skyline of Athens while establishing a new benchmark for high-rise residential living in Greece.
Riviera Tower is not simply a residential building; it is a flagship component of a broader urban transformation, combining architecture, infrastructure, and lifestyle into a single integrated development on the Athens Riviera
