The Hera Athens — Sepolia — Feasibility Report
The Hera Athens is a 56-apartment luxury residence rising from a former commercial building in Sepolia — the historic "town of Plato" in central-west Athens, on Irous 13, ten minutes' walk from Sepolia metro on the Red Line. Because the building is a commercial-to-residential conversion, it qualifies for the Greek Golden Visa at the €250,000 change-of-use threshold. This report frames The Hera not as a lifestyle purchase but as a residency-plus-yield proposition: who rents in a regenerating central Athens district, what the €250,000 entry buys in residency terms, and where the real upside sits. Prices run from €250,000 (published range €250,000–€375,000). Amenities include a rooftop thermal pool with Acropolis views, a 60 m² gym, lounge and co-working space, 30+ private parking spaces and 30 storage units.

Why This Property
Sepolia is one of Athens' rapidly appreciating urban-regeneration districts — a central-west neighbourhood with deep historic roots as the "town of Plato," now lifted by metro access and the wider Votanikos regeneration programme. The combination of a Red Line station, a chronic shortage of quality housing, and proximity to the city centre produces durable rental demand from corporate tenants, expats and young professionals.
The Hera Athens answers that demand with a product calibrated above local standards. Rather than a tired commercial shell, this is a full conversion into 56 distinguished apartments wrapped in hotel-grade amenities: a rooftop thermal pool framing the Acropolis, a 60 m² gym, a lounge and co-working floor, and — rare for central Athens — 30+ private parking spaces and 30 storage units.
Location is the quiet driver of the case. Ten minutes on foot reaches Sepolia metro; from there Syntagma and the Acropolis are four to five stops away, while Kifissos Avenue and the National Road (E75) sit two minutes by car. That puts the historic core, the universities and the national motorway network all within easy reach of a single address.

Golden Visa Fit — the €250,000 Route
Greece grants a renewable five-year residence permit — the Golden Visa — to non-EU buyers who invest at the qualifying real-estate threshold. The Hera Athens qualifies through its commercial-to-residential conversion, which places it at the €250,000 change-of-use entry point — the lowest qualifying tier — and keeps central-Athens residency accessible.
The permit covers the main applicant, a spouse, dependent children and dependent parents, with no minimum-stay requirement: owners may live in Greece, rent the apartment out, or simply hold it, renewing every five years as long as the qualifying investment is retained. Final eligibility and document checks are confirmed case by case with counsel; the figures below illustrate the entry math at this listing's published prices.
Item | Detail |
Qualifying investment | €250,000 (change-of-use entry tier) |
Permit type | Renewable 5-year residence permit |
Family coverage | Spouse, dependent children, dependent parents |
Minimum stay | None required to maintain the permit |

Rental & Yield Outlook
Central-west Athens is a structurally tight rental market and Sepolia sits at the sharper end of it: a district with a documented shortage of quality housing, on a metro line, inside an active regeneration corridor. Demand layers across corporate tenants, expats and young professionals, which supports both long-let and serviced-let strategies. The project commits a 3% guaranteed rental yield for a specified period, giving buyers a defined income floor while metro expansion and the Votanikos regeneration drive capital appreciation.
The illustration below applies that quoted 3% to this listing's own price points. Figures are indicative, before costs and taxes, and should be confirmed against the final purchase contract.
Purchase price | Quoted yield | Indicative annual income |
€250,000 | 3% | €7,500 |
€290,000 | 3% | €8,700 |
€375,000 | 3% | €11,250 |
