Yialou Retail Park





REDS is developing the Yialou Retail Park in the area of "Yialou", Greater Athens.

Yialou is located 15 km from the center of Athens and has a catchment area of 1.6 million (within 30 mins). It will be the largest retail park in Greece.

Retail Parks often lack "atmosphere" and design. Yialou will provide a different, more welcoming experience to the retail park visitor.
It will include a hypermarket, DIY, toy, furniture, electrical and other stores, and will be adjacent to Greece's first McArthur Glen Outlet Center (a plot agreed to be sold to McArthur Glen by REDS). DEVELOPMENT TYPE: Retail Park LOCATION: Yialou, Greater Athens COMPLETION: 2009 SITE AREA: 91.000 m2 GBA: 54,600m2 GLA: 53,600 m2 COMMERCIAL VALUE: € 110 million PARKING LOTS: 1600

In 2007 a pre-agreement was signed with Henderson Global Investors Limited for the sale of Yialou Retail Park, to be developed by REDS.

Athens Heart - Shopping center, opening 4 December.

180 Pireos is a vibrant new retail centre on Athen’s Pireos Street located on a main route halfway between the Acropolis and the ancient Port. The design provides 25,000sqm of retail and leisure space over 4 floors with panoramic restaurant terraces, with views towards the Parthenon, beneath a fully retractable 55m span roof. The simple axial atrium layout is criss-crossed with illuminated bridges creating a dramatic internal flow of space.

The interior concept expands on the architectural concept of a ‘forest’, with the ‘interior’ engaging the sense of openness, space and simplicity within the forest clearing. There are uplifting views of the impressive spanning canopy which can be opened to the sky. The canopy will be further enhanced at night by projections of dappled light, an inference to the natural tree canopy.

The translation of the concept is illustrated with use of neutral finishes. These include pietre and basalt grey flooring, oak ceiling planks set within a white plaster board ceiling, oak cladding to escalator bases, simple glass balustrades with stainless steel rail and cream reconstituted stone bases to the shop facades. This overall use of finishes provides a neutral back drop to the bold illuminated orange bridges that cross the atrium on 1st and 2nd floors. The 2nd floor mall area is ‘open’ to the sky and this level is dedicated to restaurants whose facades are clad in Iroko planks. The 2nd floor will evoke a sense of ‘outside’ regardless of an open or closed canopy.

On each level there are opportunities to display texture of flora and fauna with custom-built planters in considered locations throughout. The largest planter is located at the base of the atrium together with a water feature of both jets and an infinity pool.

Του Φάνη Γαβρινιώτη

Σε ακριβώς δύο μήνες από σήμερα και συγκεκριμένα στις 4 Δεκεμβρίου θα ξεκινήσει τη λειτουργία του το εμπορικό κέντρο που αναπτύσσει επί της οδού Πειραιώς 180, στην περιοχή του Ταύρου, η Pasal Development, επενδύοντας περισσότερα από 60 εκατ. ευρώ.

Ήδη, η εισηγμένη έχει εξασφαλίσει μισθωτές για το 91% των εμπορικά εκμεταλλεύσιμων χώρων (23.580 τ.μ.) του νέου mall, η συνολική επιφάνεια του οποίου θα φτάνει τα 58.136 τ.μ. συμπεριλαμβανομένου και των τριών υπόγειων parking χωρητικότητας 750 θέσεων.

Επισημαίνεται πως στο "Athens Heart", όπως θα ονομάζεται το καινούργιο mall της πρωτεύουσας, θα υπάρχουν περί τα 80 καταστήματα που κατά κύριο λόγο θα σχετίζονται με τη μόδα και την τεχνολογία.

Ειδικότερα, καταστήματα στο εμπορικό συγκρότημα της Pasal Development θα διαθέτουν, μεταξύ άλλων, οι αλυσίδες Dixons - Κωτσόβολος, H&M, Βάρδας, Adidas, Nike, Wind και Πλαίσιο. Επιπλέον, στο υψηλότερο επίπεδο (δεύτερος όροφος) του Athens Heart θα υπάρχουν μια σειρά από εστιατόρια και καφέ.

Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως χάρη στη λειτουργία του εμπορικού κέντρου της οδού Πειραιώς, η Pasal Development υπολογίζει πως θα εγγράψει στα φετινά της αποτελέσματα υπεραξίες της τάξεως των 40 εκατ. ευρώ, καθώς και ότι τα ετήσια έσοδα που θα της αποφέρει το Athens Heart θα φτάνουν τα 6 εκατ. ευρώ.

Η εισηγμένη προωθεί παράλληλα την επέκταση του εμπορικού κέντρου σε όμορη έκταση που διαθέτει, προσθέτοντας σʼ αυτό επιπλέον 3.600 τ.μ. εμπορικά εκμεταλλεύσιμων χώρων και τέσσερα υπόγεια επίπεδα για τη στάθμευση αυτοκινήτων. Η κατασκευή της επέκτασης είναι πολύ πιθανό να ξεκινήσει τον επόμενο χρόνο.

Την ίδια στιγμή, η Pasal Development βρίσκεται σε επαφή και συζητήσεις με επιχειρήσεις που ενδιαφέρονται να αγοράσουν το Athens Heart και δεν αποκλείεται σύντομα να υπάρξουν εξελίξεις στο συγκεκριμένο θέμα. Σημειώνεται πως ενδιαφέρον για την απόκτηση του νέου εμπορικού κέντρου έχουν εκδηλώσει τόσο ελληνικές εταιρείες επενδύσεων σε ακίνητα όσο και ξένα funds, δεδομένου ότι το Athens Heart αποτελεί αυτήν τη στιγμή το μοναδικό ιδιόκτητο νέο mall που θα λειτουργήσει σύντομα στο λεκανοπέδιο της Αττικής.

Two pictures of the "Athens Heart" Mall on Peiraios street taken Sunday 9 Nov. 2008.






We have already discussed about the Golden Hall Mall which is under development at the site of the former Athens 2004 Olympic International Broadcasting Center.

I had the opportunity to take two pictures of the above mentioned building in which reconstruction works go on at a frantic pace for it to make the deadline or at least to be ready for the Christmas season.

Wait for more pictures after it is completed :).

Capitol: New Shopping, Leisure and Cultural Center



In a district where no building was developed during the last 25 years and is lead to gradual degration, a grand new building will be developed with a dominant position in the Athenian urban grid. The development was stalled for more than 5 years by the Organization of School Buildings. When this obstacle was surpassed, its construction began. The completion of development of the building block will restore and redefine the entire area.

This building block, which includes a garden of 1000 m2 with recreational spaces, will be open to the public and will shorten the basic pedestrian route of tourists from Victoria ISAP station to the National Archaeological Museum.

In more detail, on a corner plot on Ioulianou, 3rd Septembriou & Skaramagka streets in Athens, that will include commercial stores for the daily needs of residents, local range entertainment and leisure spaces, cultural centres, as well as the first museum of classical cars in Athens with more than 120 exhibits, ranked among the largest city car museums in the world. Distinctive architectural characteristic of the building is the helical ramp dominating the forefront face of the building, that allows the visitor a stairless access to the last floor, inspired by the Guggenheim Museum in New York. This inconceivable idea of Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the greatest architects of all times, gives the building an original personality for Greek buildings, which usually suffer from suffocation of the rigid General Construction Regulation. This building will also be serviced by a seven level underground parking for 800 cars, reaching a total surface of 28,000 m2.

Hermion



Hermion, a project of paramount importance for Charagionis Group, is located in the area of Plaka. The project consists of two phases. The first phase was completed in 1980 and it currently occupies 4.500 m2. The complex accommodates the well-known restaurant Hermion as well as folk art shops.

The second phase, due to begin soon, includes an extension of the actual building and is planned to provide a three building complex with retail stores, residential units, coffee-restaurants and a cultural area, occupying 9.800 m2. With the expansion of the building, its historical character will be preserved and its prestige as a monumental building of the area will be enhanced.

The complex, due to its position and design, creates a link between the areas of Plaka and Monastiraki and foresees a great number of visitors per day. The new complex will be harmonically integrate with the architecture of the area of Plaka, where Neoclassicism dominates, and will successfully connect the old with the new.
