Invest in Greece

Everybody nowadays invests in Greece, because everyone anticipates that both the entire economy will boom, and Greek tourism will surpass even its traditionally successful past. You could do it too and Thalatta.Homes would be at your site.

Small to Medium business-investing

Small to medium size businesses can invest in a Greek AirBnB or B&B operation, banking on tourism trade from abroad. We can help you with many things, EU subsidies included. But, you must remember that the tourism trade is not an easy ride, requiring dedicated work every day and for many hours, during the season.

Commercial real estate investing in Greece

Commercial real estate investing in Greece offers substantial opportunities for investors of Commercial real estate. Always one must be keeping in mind the exceptional opportunities for institutional and private banking in Greece, endowed with very substantial GG (Greek Government) and EU sponsored financing and generous subsidies and tax breaks. Greek basic corporate tax being at 22% and expected to come to 20% very soon, enhances any Greek investment planning.

Geographically Greece is central to the commercial and business development of the East Mediterranean basin, the Middle East and the Arab / Islamic world, with strong cultural and business connections, ages-old and present.

Greek ports, following the New Suez Canal opening, has become the second most important port-system for Europe, after ARA (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp) for the world-dominant South to North Hemispheres commerce. This opens new opportunities for logistics hubs and business offices and the evidence is obvious in the recent building development, with some of the largest companies in the world, choosing Greece as their logistics hubs serving or to serve Central and East Europe, as well as the Middle East.

The new suburban railway system serving the ever expanding city space of the main Greek cities and even towns, all connected to the suburban rail grid, has 60+ new rail stations. These new stations, beautiful as they may look, need to be invested at creating dominant regional commercial malls and modern living communal hubs, with some of these sites being obvious business and logistics’ hubs contenders too. Such new real estate developments, offer opportunities waiting to be exploited and the fact that they are still in a pretty nascent stage, makes them profitable to be invested to, now, before the inevitable uptrend makes them much more expensive to enter the market. Some such projects are green-field and they may be advisable to be thought-off as unsolicited-proposals projects’ cases.

Inner-city rejuvenation investing in Greece

Athens’ Urban Plan is almost 200 years old. Thessaloniki’s and Piraeus’s 100. The dynamics of these many years have produced de facto adaptations, which are today judged non-optimal. The fast modernising city road-grid and lately the Metro, of both Athens and Thessaloniki, have generated new conditions and created new realities – realities needing to be addressed and realities creating new opportunities for investors. There are many investing opportunities for an erudite real estate investor in Greece, mostly in its three major cities of Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki, whose inner-cities rejuvenation needs present ideal real estate assets to be acquired cheap and leased profitably.

Smaller towns, had their transport hubs in their outskirts, rather than their centres. In today’s world their commercial and administrative hubs would be better placed in their peripheries, able to attract the trade and business of their suburbs. Old regional railway and bus stations, should be redeveloped as such regional commercial and business hubs, endowed with inner-city public transport, such as trams and electric busses and large car parking spaces for the suburbians to park their electric cars. These ideas are now matured in decision-makers’ minds and now is the time to think and make proposals, even of the unsolicited proposals planning type.

Large industrial complexes developed in the Athens, Piraeus and Thessaloniki during last century’s model, now unwelcomed within an urban environment, are presently unoccupied and this leaves abandoned large plots of building land, which if bundled together, produce inner-city terrains presently deserted by city inhabitants and activities. These plots crave city-planners’ urgent attention, while at the same time, present a vista of land-redevelopment bonanzas, ready to be taken advantage of, by commercially erudite urban land developers. In short, the main Greek cities are ripe for a number of mini docklands-type redevelopment.

International services-hubs and commercial-hubs anywhere in the world and now – as Greece is becoming such a hub – in Greece too, demand quality real estate to be operated from and to house their staff. The housing stock in all Greek cities, tends to be owned by small family estates, each counting for one to just a few apartment or small office spaces’ holdings. Such large inner-city plots, are now, mostly owned by banks and funds, as well as the State and therefore offer ideal opportunities for investors. Thalatta.Homes could point to a number of these and guide and facilitate towards the plethora of collateral benefits offered generously, by institutional and private banking in Greece, endowed with very substantial GG (Greek Government) and EU sponsored financing and generous subsidies and tax breaks. Greek basic corporate tax being at 22% and expected to come to 20% very soon, enhances any Greek investment planning.
