FEASIBILITY REPORT · CHALANDRI · NORTH ATHENS · GOLDEN VISA

This report is a data-driven feasibility assessment of the available apartment at Ariston Residence (A0190) in Chalandri, North Athens. Its purpose is not marketing; it examines location, pricing, rental potential and risks from an investor's perspective, using conservative assumptions.

The project is a boutique new build designed to energy class A in Chalandri, a suburb where the housing stock is predominantly older. At the time of assessment a single unit is listed for sale: apartment C3, a 77 m² two-bedroom home priced at EUR 408,022. The building is in the finishing stage, with completion planned for 2027.

All calculations in this report are based on the list price in the developer data feed; availability and pricing are subject to confirmation before reservation. In line with our privacy policy, location is given at neighbourhood level only.

Location and Access

Chalandri is one of North Athens' most established and greenest suburbs. Its pedestrianised shopping streets, dense cafe-and-restaurant fabric and the green corridor of the Rematia stream give it a stable, family-oriented identity. This profile supports both owner-occupier and long-term rental demand at levels above the Athens average.

On the access side, the project sits within easy reach of Halandri station on Metro Line 3, which reaches the city centre in around 20 minutes and runs directly to Athens International Airport. The Attiki Odos motorway is a few minutes away by car; the Marousi business district and The Mall Athens are a short drive away.

In line with our privacy policy, this report does not disclose street names, door numbers or point coordinates; location is defined at neighbourhood level. The exact address is shared at the consultation stage.

Project and Units

Ariston Residence is a boutique-scale new build with a limited number of apartments. The building is designed to energy class A: autonomous heating and cooling via heat pump, split-unit air conditioning, aluminium frames with high thermal and sound insulation, double glazing and a solar water heater. Smart-home infrastructure, an armoured entrance door and alarm pre-installation are standard.

At the time of assessment the data feed shows a single unit open for sale: C3 — 77 m², two bedrooms, one bathroom, list price EUR 408,022. Single-unit availability may indicate the project is largely sold; this, however, requires developer confirmation.

Construction status is reported as 'finishing', with completion planned for 2027. In Chalandri, where older stock dominates, the supply of brand-new energy class A apartments is relatively scarce; this is the project's main point of differentiation.

Price Analysis

The unit price of the available apartment is clear-cut: EUR 408,022 / 77 m² ≈ EUR 5,300/m². As only one unit is listed, this is a single point value rather than a project-wide band.

Our conservative estimate for new-build asking prices in Chalandri is roughly EUR 3,500–4,800/m²; upper-segment and smaller units can exceed EUR 5,000/m². Against this frame, C3's unit price of ≈EUR 5,300/m² sits clearly above our neighbourhood band. We note this explicitly: a unit-price premium on smaller apartments is common, but that premium is not always recovered on resale.

Partial justifications for the price are the energy class A specification, the smart-home package and the scarcity of new builds in the suburb. Even so, our assessment is that this pricing embeds a 'quality premium' driven by location and build quality rather than yield — a premium the buyer should accept knowingly.

Rental Potential

Our long-term rent estimate band for brand-new, energy class A two-bedroom apartments in Chalandri is approximately EUR 950–1,150 per month. For 77 m² this corresponds to EUR 12–15/m²/month, consistent with new-build rents in the suburb.

On this band, estimated gross annual rental income is EUR 11,400–13,800, implying a gross yield of roughly 2.8–3.4% on the EUR 408,022 list price. In other words, the unit sits at the lower edge of — and in some scenarios below — the conservative 3–5% yield band. Net yield after service charges, taxes and management costs will be lower still.

This apartment is therefore not a 'high yield' investment; its value proposition rests on location quality, low running costs (energy efficiency) and long-term value retention rather than rental cash flow. No rental figure is guaranteed; all numbers are estimates.

Golden Visa Framework

Under the Greek Golden Visa, the applicable investment threshold is set by the zone the property sits in and by the route chosen, and must be confirmed separately for each unit. A commonly misunderstood point: the EUR 250,000 level is not a location-based threshold. Under current legislation it applies only where a non-residential property is converted to residential use, or where a listed building is restored.

Under the standard acquisition route, thresholds vary by zone classification and are in the upper band for the Attica region. Which route is feasible for this specific unit, whether the purchase price meets the relevant threshold, and how the file should be structured therefore all require legal confirmation before reservation.

This report makes no claim of the 'this project is Golden Visa guaranteed' kind; no such guarantee can be given. Avla confirms the route and the supporting file for every unit with independent legal counsel before reservation.

Risks and Points of Attention

No real estate investment is risk-free. The items below are the real risks that should be weighed before a decision on this unit.

Availability and data confirmation: The availability, floor and price of the single listed unit (C3) come from the developer data feed and require confirmation before reservation.
Delivery/construction risk: The building is in the finishing stage with completion planned for 2027; schedule slippage is common in new builds. Tying the payment plan to construction progress is advisable.
Unit-price premium: ≈EUR 5,300/m² is above our neighbourhood band estimate. This premium on smaller units may not be fully recovered on resale.
Resale liquidity: Chalandri is a liquid suburb; even so, a unit bought above the band may face a longer resale period and wider negotiation margin than in-band purchases.
Yield compression: Our gross rental yield estimate (2.8–3.4%) sits at the lower edge of the conservative band; the profile does not suit cash-flow-focused investors.
Golden Visa route uncertainty: Which GV route this price level satisfies requires unit- and file-level legal confirmation; do not proceed on threshold assumptions.

Conclusion

Ariston Residence C3 offers a brand-new, energy class A two-bedroom home in a strong suburb (Chalandri) where such stock is scarce; the picture on location, access and build quality is positive. Against this, the ≈EUR 5,300/m² unit price is above our neighbourhood band estimate, and the gross rental yield estimate sits at the lower edge of the conservative band.

Our assessment: this unit suits a buyer prioritising long-term value retention in a quality location, or own use — not rental income. Golden Visa buyers should not decide before route and threshold confirmation.

Recommended steps before a decision: written confirmation of availability and price, a payment plan tied to construction milestones, independent legal due diligence and, where GV is the goal, route confirmation. The Avla team manages every one of these steps.
