FEASIBILITY REPORT · GLYFADA · ATTICA · GOLDEN VISA

This report assesses the investment feasibility of Solmar Residence (A0216), located in the Glyfada district on the southern coastline of Athens. The project comprises three 3-bedroom residences of 155-185 m², positioned on the upper floors of a boutique building with an A+ energy class. Construction was completed in 2026 and the units are ready for delivery.

The assessment is based on the developer feed: unit prices, floor areas, specification list and location data. This is a decision-support document built on conservative assumptions, not a marketing text; prices and availability are subject to developer confirmation.

As the listing carries a Golden Visa tag, the report closes with a neutral summary of the programme's current threshold framework and explains why unit-level file confirmation is mandatory.

Location and Access

The project is located in Glyfada, one of the best-known districts of the Athens Riviera, roughly 600 m from the coastline. With its tram and metro links, international schools, private healthcare and a strong retail and dining scene, the district is one of the most established residential markets of southern Athens. In line with our privacy policy, location is given at district level in this report.

The access data paints a meaningful picture for investors: The Ellinikon — Europe's largest urban regeneration project — is about 1.7 km away, the metro station and Glyfada Golf Club about 1.9 km, and Glyfada beach 4 km. Athens International Airport is 28 km (~30 min) via Vouliagmenis Avenue, Piraeus Port 18 km and the Acropolis 15 km. Proximity to The Ellinikon is the main driver of medium-to-long-term value expectations in the area.

Project and Units

Solmar Residence is a boutique-scale new build of three apartments; all units are 3-bedroom layouts positioned on the building's upper floors (4th/5th). The building carries an A+ energy class and the construction status shows as 'ready for delivery' in the developer feed (completion 2026).

The specification level matches the segment: smart home automation, autonomous heating and cooling via heat pump, photovoltaic panels with net metering, a solar water heater, double-glazed energy-efficient aluminium frames, an armoured entrance door and alarm pre-installation. This specification adds value by lowering running costs and differentiating the product in the rental market.

C1 — 3-bed, 185 m², 3 baths: EUR 2,361,600 (available)
C2 — 3-bed, 155 m², 3 baths: EUR 1,829,000 (available)
C3 — 3-bed, 164 m², 3 baths: EUR 1,708,224 (available)

Price Analysis

Unit prices computed from the actual figures in the feed are as follows: C3 around EUR 10,400/m², C2 around EUR 11,800/m², C1 around EUR 12,770/m². The project's unit-price band is ~EUR 10,400-12,800/m², with a weighted average of ~EUR 11,700/m².

A conservative district comparison requires plain speaking: our estimate band for quality new builds in Glyfada is broadly EUR 6,000-9,000/m², with prestige projects near the coast able to exceed EUR 10,000/m². The Solmar Residence band sits clearly above this estimated district average; C1 in particular, at ~EUR 12,800/m², is priced into the district's top premium segment. This is not a disqualifier, but the buyer should come to the table aware of the premium and supported by an independent valuation.

Total ticket sizes of EUR 1.71-2.36 million also narrow the buyer pool; this should be factored into negotiations on price and payment schedule.

Rental Potential

We generally model gross rental yield in the Athens residential market within a conservative 3-5% band. For this project specifically, honesty is required: our long-term monthly rent estimate band for luxury 3-bedroom units of 155-185 m² is EUR 3,500-5,500, which at current prices puts gross yield roughly in the 2.5-3.5% range — at or below the lower edge of the citywide band.

Short-term or seasonal letting can produce higher revenue in a Riviera location, but that model carries operating costs and regulatory variability and is therefore excluded from our base scenario. The investment thesis for an asset of this profile should rest primarily on location quality and Ellinikon-driven appreciation expectations rather than rental yield. No rental guarantee is implied.

Golden Visa Framework

Under current legislation, the investment threshold applicable in the Greek Golden Visa programme is determined by zone and by the chosen investment route; the Attica region falls in the upper threshold tier for the standard route. The frequently quoted EUR 250,000 threshold is not location-based: it applies only where a non-residential property is converted to residential use, or where a listed building is restored.

Unit prices in this project are nominally above the standard-route threshold levels; eligibility, however, is determined by the file, not the price. Title structure, property characteristics, floor-area conditions and route selection must be reviewed per unit. We confirm the route and the supporting file for every unit before reservation; a claim such as 'this project is Golden Visa guaranteed' is neither possible nor appropriate.

Risks and Points of Attention

The items below must be verified before a decision. None is a disqualifier on its own; each, however, should be part of the negotiation and due-diligence process.

Price premium: the ~EUR 10,400-12,800/m² band sits clearly above our estimated district average; independent valuation and negotiation are advised.
Resale liquidity: the buyer pool is narrow at ticket sizes above EUR 1.7 million; resale periods may run longer than the district average.
Yield dilution: at this price level, gross rental yield should be modelled at or below the lower edge of the citywide band.
Data confirmation: availability, prices and floor details come from the developer feed and require confirmation; consistency between the feed's floor notation and unit codes should be verified on site.
Delivery status: although construction shows as 'ready' (2026), actual handover conditions, the state of common areas and occupancy/title documentation must be checked on site and in the file.
Golden Visa: eligibility is subject to unit-level file confirmation; no threshold or route should be assumed.

Conclusion

Solmar Residence is a coherent product in the upper segment of the Athens Riviera, combining location quality, ready-for-delivery status and an A+ energy specification. The 1.7 km distance to The Ellinikon is the project's strongest data point for medium-to-long-term value expectations.

On the other side of the ledger stand a unit-price band clearly above our estimated district average and the need to model rental yield below the citywide band at this price level. The project therefore suits a buyer profile prioritising location, prestige and capital preservation rather than a yield-driven investor.

Our view is conditionally positive: proceed only after independent valuation, price negotiation, on-site delivery checks and — where a Golden Visa objective exists — unit-level route and file confirmation.
