Here's another goodie, thanks to Spyro the Dragon who spotted it in stadia.gr forum.
While the impact of the GRAND opening of the 185,000sq metre "The Mall Athens" hasn't yet been absorbed by the media and the local press, a new, bigger shopping and entertainment centre is in the final planning stage (unless they started building it) in the Kambas Estate which is adjacent to the Attica Road, towards the Athens Airport.
Although I had the impression that this damn thing was simply wishful thinking, the fact that the property is adjacent to the Attica Road (meaning that it can also be accessed by metro and syburban rail) makes it ideal for construction especially now that as it seems, the acceptance of "The Mall Athens" has been phenomenal and until Christmas we will be talking about an accrued number of visits rising even to a seven digit figure!!!
Of course, we don't have a perspective drawing but a sketchy layout. Just compare the facts and figures with "The mall Athens"...

Here is the website of the project by REDS constructions (you can also see additional projects already completed in Athens like for instance the "Escape Centre" in Ilion, to the west of Athens.

KAMBAS RETAIL AND ENTERTAINMENT PARK
The Kambas property, with an area of 300.000m2 in Kantza, Pallini, has been selected for the development of the largest retail and entertainment park in Greece’s capital city.
The Mesogeia region was selected as the ideal location for such a center, as this region is seeing vast development as a result of the new airport and Ring Road (The Attiki Odos Motorway), allowing easy access from all of Attiki.
Old Kambas Win Factory Masterplan
Having completed the design of the masterplan, and the feasibility study, our vision is to create a unique retail and entertainment, which will reach the very highest European standards. The project includes the development of 80.000m2 of leasable space, and international investors have already shown interest in this project, as it is considered a rare opportunity to enter a European capital with 4.5 million population, that does not currently have any retail/shopping centers of this kind.
LOCATION : KANTZA, ATTIKI
TOTAL SURFACE AREA : 300.000 m2 ---> Note: Total area of property
GBA : 100.000 m2
GLA 80.000 m2 ------------> Gross Leasable Area
PARKING : 140.000 m2
UNITS : 250
COMPLETION : 2006 ----------------> Not likely but close enough, probably 2007
I'm impressed... :eek: The only thing is that I doubt that this will be ready in 2006...
