FEASIBILITY REPORT · GLYKA NERA · EAST ATTICA · GOLDEN VISA

This report provides a data-driven assessment of the investment case for Vista Residence (A0217), located in Glyka Nera, an established suburb on the eastern side of Athens. The project is a boutique building of 6 apartments, all currently listed as available; construction was completed in 2026, the building holds an energy class A rating and the homes are ready for delivery.

The analysis is based on the actual unit prices in the feed: per-square-metre prices were calculated unit by unit, and the district comparison uses conservative assumptions. Rental income is modelled in a conservative 3–4.5% gross band, with no guaranteed-return assumptions.

This is a decision-support document, not a marketing text. Alongside the strengths, it openly addresses risks such as the unit-price premium, resale liquidity and the need to verify availability data; the Golden Visa framework is presented neutrally, subject to file-level confirmation for each unit.

Location and Access

Glyka Nera is a predominantly family-oriented suburb of East Attica that balances suburban calm with practical urban access. The district has a low-density residential fabric where schools, pharmacies and daily-needs points cluster within walking or short driving distance.

According to the distance data in the feed, a primary school sits about 160 m away, a pharmacy at 230 m, a junior school and gym at around 600 m, a bank and supermarket within 1.1–1.2 km, and a playground park at 1.6 km. The train station is roughly 2.9 km away, and the main road network — notably the Attiki Odos — provides fast connections to central Athens and the international airport.

The location profile is consistent both for owner-occupiers and for the long-term tenant pool (families, professionals working in the eastern suburbs). Distance from the sea and from central-city life should, however, be noted as a factor weakening any short-let scenario.

Project and Units

Vista Residence is a boutique 6-unit project with a minimalist contemporary design that prioritises natural light. Construction was completed in 2026, the building holds an energy class A rating, and all 6 units appear available in the feed.

The unit mix comprises four 2-bedroom apartments (87–89 sqm) and two 3-bedroom apartments (142 sqm). Ground-floor homes have garden use, while the upper floors benefit from large openings. The specification package includes autonomous heat-pump heating and cooling, smart-home infrastructure, double glazing with highly insulated frames, an armoured door, alarm pre-installation, photovoltaic panels with net metering and a solar water heater.

A3 — 1st floor, 2-bed, 88 sqm, €364,583 (≈€4,143/sqm)
A4 — 1st floor, 2-bed, 89 sqm, €370,833 (≈€4,167/sqm)
GF4 — Ground floor, 2-bed, 88 sqm, €387,019 (≈€4,398/sqm)
GF2 — Ground floor, 2-bed, 87 sqm, €388,141 (≈€4,462/sqm)
A1 — 1st floor, 3-bed, 142 sqm, €571,442 (≈€4,024/sqm)
B1 — 2nd floor, 3-bed, 142 sqm, €605,185 (≈€4,262/sqm)

Price Analysis

Based on the actual unit prices in the feed, the project's unit-price band is roughly €4,000–4,460/sqm, with a weighted average of about €4,225/sqm. The lowest per-sqm price is on the large 3-bedroom unit (A1, ≈€4,024/sqm) and the highest on the garden-access ground-floor 2-bedroom unit (GF2, ≈€4,462/sqm).

For new-build, energy class A stock in Glyka Nera and the surrounding East Attica suburbs, our conservative estimate band is roughly €3,200–4,000/sqm; resale stock trades noticeably lower. Against this frame, the project's band sits at and above the upper edge of our district estimate — the pricing is clearly above the district average.

Part of this premium can be explained by the move-in-ready status, the A energy rating and the complete specification package; however, the €4,400+/sqm pricing on the ground-floor 2-bedroom units in particular should be treated as an entry cost that limits capital-appreciation headroom in a resale scenario. Negotiation margin and current pricing should be confirmed with the developer before any decision.

Rental Potential

Glyka Nera's tenant profile is predominantly long-term residential; short-let (tourist) demand is weak compared with central and coastal districts. The model therefore uses long-term rents in a conservative 3–4.5% gross band.

For the 2-bedroom units (€364,583–388,141), a 3–4% gross yield corresponds to a rent band of roughly €910–1,290/month; given current rent levels in the district, the lower-to-middle part of that band (around 3–3.7%) is the more realistic expectation. On the 142 sqm 3-bedroom units, gross yield may fall below 3%, as large units typically rent at lower per-sqm rates.

These figures are model assumptions, not guarantees; the feed contains no rental-guarantee programme. A net-yield calculation should separately model management, insurance, ENFIA property tax and vacancy periods.

Golden Visa Framework

Under the Greek Golden Visa programme, the applicable investment threshold is determined by the zone the property sits in and by the route chosen, and must be confirmed separately for each unit. Contrary to a common misconception, the €250,000 threshold is not location-based: under current law it applies only where a non-residential property is converted to residential use, or where a listed (protected) building is restored.

Vista Residence is a new-build residential project; which threshold and which route apply must therefore be clarified through a unit-level legal file review. The threshold and minimum conditions applicable to the standard residential route in the Attica region should be verified against current legislation before reservation.

This report does not guarantee a residence permit for any unit. Avla confirms the route and the supporting file for every unit, together with legal counsel, before each reservation.

Risks and Points of Attention

The items below are risk areas that should be independently verified or reflected in pricing before a decision. None is disqualifying on its own, but together they should shape the negotiation and unit-selection strategy.

Data verification: the appearance of all 6 units as available is a feed snapshot; availability and prices must be confirmed with the developer before reservation.
Unit-price premium: the ~€4,225/sqm weighted average sits above our district estimate band; the €4,400+/sqm entry cost on ground-floor 2-bedroom units in particular narrows resale margin.
Resale liquidity: Glyka Nera's resale market is shallower than central districts; a new-build bought at a premium may take longer to find a resale buyer.
3-bedroom yield profile: gross rental yield on the 142 sqm units may fall below 3%; these units should be assessed on space/owner-occupation grounds rather than yield.
Delivery and permits: although the building is listed as 'ready', occupancy and energy certificates and the delivery status of common areas should be verified in writing before contract.
Golden Visa: threshold and route are subject to unit-level file confirmation; no unit should be assumed automatically eligible.
Short-let: tourist demand in the district is limited; Airbnb-style scenarios should not be modelled as the base case for this project.

Conclusion

With its move-in-ready status, A energy rating, complete specification package and boutique 6-unit scale, Vista Residence presents a consistent profile for owner-occupiers in East Attica and for investors seeking long-term, low-operational-risk rental income. The district's family-oriented fabric and Attiki Odos access support tenant demand.

Against this, pricing is clearly above the district average and rental yield should be modelled conservatively at around 3–4% gross. The units that carry the investment case best are the comparatively lower per-sqm 1st-floor 2-bedroom apartments (A3 and A4); for space and owner-occupation priorities, the 3-bedroom options.

Our overall assessment: subject to careful unit selection, developer confirmation and negotiation, the project is a viable option in a 'moderate yield — low operational risk' profile. For buyers with a Golden Visa objective, no decision should be made before the unit-level legal file confirmation is complete.
