DATA4's Paiania Data Centre: What It Means for Athens Property Buyers

DATA4's new data centre campus near Paiania is driving fresh demand for housing in the area. Velment looks at what this infrastructure investment means for property buyers close to Athens International Airport.

Greece is entering a new phase of growth, driven by large-scale technology investments that are reshaping both its economy and property market. The latest example is DATA4’s new data centre near Paiania, a major infrastructure project that signals increasing international confidence in the country.

With a €7 billion expansion plan, 90 megawatts of power capacity and thousands of jobs expected across Europe, this development is not only significant for the tech sector but also for real estate and long-term investment planning.

What Is DATA4 Building in Paiania?


The new DATA4 facility will support cloud services, artificial intelligence and secure data storage across Europe and the Mediterranean. More importantly, it introduces a wide range of employment opportunities, from engineers and technicians to administrative professionals.

As global companies continue to invest in Greece, the country is positioning itself as a key destination for technology infrastructure and long-term economic growth. These developments tend to create a ripple effect, influencing local economies, increasing demand for housing and supporting business activity in surrounding areas.

How the DATA4 Data Centre Could Affect Property Demand in East Attica


When global technology companies commit to large-scale infrastructure, they are effectively demonstrating long-term confidence in a country’s future. For property buyers and investors, this translates into opportunity.

Key signals shaping the market include:


  • Entry of international companies into the Greek market
  • Strengthening of regional digital connectivity
  • Creation of skilled and long-term employment
  • Increased demand for residential and commercial property

For international families and investors, these factors contribute to a more stable and attractive environment for both relocation and property acquisition.

Why Greece Appeals to Long-Term Buyers and Relocating Families



Alongside its growing digital infrastructure, Greece continues to benefit from strong tourism, an appealing lifestyle and increasing demand from international buyers. The country is no longer viewed solely as a holiday destination, but as a place to establish a base, invest strategically and plan for the future.

Yiannos Trisokkas, CEO of Velment and migration expert, comments on the timing of such developments:

‘If Greece has been on your radar for relocation, investment or a holiday home, this might be the right moment to explore it. Tactful investors often move before headlines catch-up, so make your move and explore opportunities offered by our team.’

Lopes Residences: Apartments Five Minutes from the DATA4 Campus


Located just five minutes from the new DATA4 facility, Lopes Residences offers a practical opportunity to align with this emerging growth area. Set in a quiet suburban environment with excellent access to Athens and just 15 minutes from Athens International Airport, the development combines convenience with a more relaxed lifestyle setting.


The project features a selection of studio and one-bedroom apartments designed for both comfort and functionality. Residents benefit from a communal swimming pool, a rooftop terrace with BBQ area and private storage for each unit. With three years of free property management and communal charges included and eligibility for the Greek Golden Visa, the development offers a well-structured option for buyers seeking both usability and long-term value.

Timing Matters

As infrastructure projects of this scale begin to take shape, surrounding areas often experience increased demand and long-term appreciation. For those considering Greece as part of their investment or relocation strategy, this is a period where informed decisions can make a meaningful difference.
