Perspective
The Riviera Tower is part of the redevelopment of the former Ellinikon International Airport, undertaken by the company Lamda Development. The plans for the skyscraper were presented online on July 7, 2021.[6] The tower was designed by the international architectural firm "Foster+Partners", which collaborated with the "Alexandros N. Tombazis and Associates Architects S.A." design office. The engineering company Buro Happold undertook the structural studies in cooperation with Deta Engineering, and the electromechanical studies in cooperation with TEKEM S.A. The company Doxiadis+ was responsible for the landscaping design.[7] The collaboration of Greek and foreign companies was due to the requirements set by the project's tender regarding experience and expertise.[8]The building permit for the skyscraper was issued on August 9, 2022.[9] On August 13, 2022, Lamda Development announced that three-quarters of the sellable area had been pre-sold, with estimated revenues of approximately 600 million euros.[10]
Construction work on the skyscraper began in December 2022 with the installation of two 55-meter-long piles for the building's foundation,[11] which began in January 2023.[12] A total of 111 piles with a diameter of 1.5 meters were installed. The foundation was completed at the end of October 2023, with the placement of 7,500 cubic meters of concrete over 40 continuous hours.[13]
Adjacent to the Riviera Tower will be the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Athens, the first integrated resort in Greece.
