Microsoft’s Data Centre Investment: A Turning Point for Greece’s Real Estate Market

21/05/2025

Greece is entering a new era of digital and economic growth, with Microsoft’s landmark decision to build a major data centre in Spata. This strategic project—part of a larger plan involving three data centres across the country—is more than just a technology investment. It is a clear signal that Greece is evolving into a competitive digital hub in Southern Europe.

As construction moves forward, the impact is already being felt across multiple sectors. For high-net-worth individuals and investors, one area of growing interest is the real estate market, particularly in regions near key infrastructure developments.

A New Chapter in Greece’s Digital Economy

Microsoft’s presence is expected to enhance access to secure, efficient, and affordable cloud services, supporting businesses of all sizes while encouraging digital innovation. The investment also reflects growing confidence in Greece’s long-term stability, infrastructure, and skilled workforce.

Yiannos Trisokkas, CEO of Velment, shared: ‘Microsoft’s investment in Spata is more than just a data center; it’s a catalyst for economic growth, urban development, and a thriving tech ecosystem in Greece.’ He also emphasized that the move will increase interest in local real estate and energize retail and service-based industries.

How This Shapes Investment Potential

The arrival of such a high-impact project generates momentum across several areas, with real estate positioned as one of the primary beneficiaries. Here’s why this matters to property buyers and investors:

  • Increased demand for high-quality housing near the data centre, especially from tech professionals and international companies.
  • Stronger rental market driven by relocation needs and long-term business presence.
  • Rising interest in lifestyle-focused properties, with buyers looking for a mix of comfort, accessibility, and long-term value.
  • Boosted retail and service activity in surrounding areas, making local communities more dynamic and investment-worthy.
  • Improved infrastructure and visibility of Greece as a business destination, which positively influences market confidence.

Together, these shifts contribute to a stronger, more resilient property market that offers both immediate and long-term return potential.
