Development of Greek Real Estate

The best return of your Greek real estate (e.g. a plot, vacant or not) may sometimes lie in its development rather than its sale. Accordingly, we can locate and enter into agreements with contractors and/or other professionals for the building of your property to your wishes and specifications. Keep in mind the very convenient vehicle of "anti-parohi" which practically results in your attaining one or more completed apartments in exchange of your plot to the contractor's disposal.
