Exquisite 324-residence development adds an indoor-outdoor refuge to the lush, walkable Little Athens neighborhood set within The Ellinikon, Europe's preeminent urban regeneration
Athens, Greece – July 09, 2026; LAMDA Development has launched The Courtyards, the newest residential offering within the Little Athens neighbourhood at The Ellinikon. Comprising 324 contemporary residences across 11 buildings, the development marks another significant milestone in the evolution of Europe's largest urban regeneration project and smart city being built from the ground up on the site of the previous Athens international airport.
Designed by acclaimed Greek design firm AUDO Architects, The Courtyards introduces one- to four-bedroom apartments, all with abundant natural light and views of the sea, parkland, or in some cases, both. Highlighting the striking Athenian Riviera location, the development is designed to reinterpret traditional Mediterranean courtyards for modern urban life through seamlessly designed indoor-outdoor sp
aces. Highlights include top-floor apartments with roof terraces, and 35 ground-floor apartments featuring private gardens with a Jacuzzi or pool, and each residence comes with underground parking and storage. Prices start from €500,000 to upwards of €4 million.
Set within the Little Athens area of The Ellinikon, the new development is a holistically connected space with private courtyards landscaped with pathways, seating areas, and recreational zones to offer residents a tranquil refuge for relaxation, exercise, and family activities. Retail and dining options are publicly available across arcades in five of the 11 buildings.
"Our intention at The Ellinikon is to build a community, and the addition of The Courtyards to the modern ideal of Little Athens, represents an important step in bringing that to life,” said Alexandros Moulas, Chief Commercial Officer, Residential. “This new community reflects our continued commitment to creating vibrant urban landscapes with smart city principles, and inclusive, lived experiences.”
In the heart of The Ellinikon, Little Athens is the development's largest residential neighbourhood and sits in walking distance to The Ellinikon Park, and the beach, and offers an exquisite residential collection designed by Greek and international architects. The neighbourhood has been designed as a vibrant, walkable district inspired by classic Athenian living. Bringing together exceptional homes, smart living amenities, locally focused shopping, public spaces, and green infrastructure, Little Athens gives residents and visitors alike an integrated lifestyle centred around community, sustainability and everyday health and wellbeing, supported by a 15-minute-city environment.
Demand at Little Athens has been appreciable both locally and from around the globe, with 85 percent of residences brought to market already sold or reserved. The Courtyards now joins this growing collection of diversified residential spaces, including Park Rise (designed by the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group), Pavilion Terraces, Promenade Heights, Trinity and Atrium Gardens, and Sunset Groves. Together, these developments are creating one of Europe's most significant new residential districts, combining distinctive architecture with a shared commitment to sustainability, quality of life, and wellness, all while connected to the wider ecosystem of The Ellinikon.
The Ellinikon itself is poised to double the amount of green space in the Athens area, and more than 70 percent of the total master plan will be dedicated to green and open spaces, including parks, lakes, gardens, and outdoor activity areas. Spanning 6.2 million square meters, approximately three times the size of Monaco, The Ellinikon is Europe’s largest urban regeneration project and one of the most ambitious developments currently underway globally. Built on the former Athens international airport site, the master plan will blend human-centric design, sustainability, and advanced technology.
With 3.5km of Athenian coastline and the creation of a two million square meter park, it is set to become a landmark destination for both residents and visitors. With progress accelerating on-site, The Ellinikon will feature open green spaces, a state-of-the-art Sports Park opening in late-2026, premium residences across a range of offerings, next-generation retail districts, stunning hotels, a marina, cultural venues, an integrated resort with an expo center and a casino, a health and wellness hub, an R&D and Innovation Campus, and a university, among others.
The Ellinikon sets a new global standard for sustainable coastal living, innovation, and next-generation urban development. Once complete, The Ellinikon is expected to generate over 70,000 new jobs and attract more than one million additional visitors to Athens each year, significantly strengthening Greece’s tourism and investment landscape.
