A significant milestone has been achieved in the development of the Hellinikon Integrated Resort Complex (IRC) with the recent approval of its environmental study by the Greek Ministry for the Environment and Energy.

The project, located on the Athenian Riviera along the Saronic Gulf in the suburb of Hellinikon — formerly the site of Athens International Airport — will feature a range of high-end amenities.

The General Directorate of Environmental Policy at the Ministry has approved the construction plan, which includes a 5-star hotel, an international-standard casino, a conference center with a capacity for over 500 participants, and an exhibition center.

The development will also include residential components, notably a skyscraper reaching up to 200 meters in height, situated on the seafront.
