The development
Apartments for Sale in Athens Centre
Urban City 44 is 210 apartments on Pireos Street, in the heart of Athens. The building was a 1950s office block; it is being fully converted into furnished, serviced homes with roughly 2,500 m² of shared facilities — a rooftop pool, jacuzzi and sky bar with a 360° observation deck, an indoor gym and outdoor yoga space, a business centre and coworking lounge, 24/7 security and smart-building systems, and parking across three basement levels.
Every apartment is delivered fully furnished and equipped, to a specification designed for immediate occupancy or letting. There is no fit-out phase, no furniture run, and no six months of coordinating trades from another country.
What follows is what you actually need to know before enquiring: the eight unit types, where the building sits, and how a foreign buyer purchases property in Greece.

Easily accessible from various parts of the city. City center is well-connected by public transportation, including metro lines, buses and trams, allowing for convenient transportation to other neighborhoods and attractions.
Omonoia serves as a commercial and business center, housing numerous shops, businesses and offices. The area is home to various local and international businesses, making it a convenient location for professionals and entrepreneurs. It offers access to a wide range of services, including banks, legal offices and corporate headquarters.
Omonoia Square itself holds historical significance as a meeting point and gathering spot for Athenians. While the area has experienced changes over time, it retains its cultural essence. Omonoia is surrounded by iconic landmarks, including the National Archaeological Museum and the historic district of Exarcheia, which is known for its vibrant alternative scene.
Omonoia is known for its diverse shopping options. The area boasts department stores, local shops, and street markets where visitors can find a variety of products at different price ranges. Additionally, Omonoia is close to areas like Ermou Street and Monastiraki, renowned for their shopping districts and vibrant nightlife.

The apartments
Eight Unit Types
Urban City 44 is not one floor plan repeated 210 times. There are eight distinct types, from compact open-plan homes to duplex penthouses with private roof terraces. Layouts, floor areas, orientation, outlook and price all differ — and so does availability, which changes as units are taken.
Open Space Apartment — the compact, efficient plan. Open living and sleeping space, designed to feel larger than its footprint.
Luxury Apartment — separate bedroom, larger living area, upgraded specification.
Grand Luxury Apartment — the larger of the standard-floor plans, with more generous living space.
Garden Luxury Apartment — lower-floor homes with direct access to private outdoor space.
Grand Garden Luxury Apartment — the larger garden plan, combining outdoor space with the Grand Luxury layout.
Grand Mini Penthouse — upper-floor living with the outlook that comes with it.
Open Space Penthouse — the open-plan layout, moved to the top of the building.
Grand Superluxury Penthouse — the largest homes in the building, at the top, with the terrace and the view.
Floor plans, exact square metres, floor levels, orientation and current pricing are available on request. We would rather send you the real numbers for the units actually available this month than publish a table that goes stale — ask us and we will send the current list.

Every distance above is measured from the door, not estimated. The building sits between the commercial triangle and Metaxourgeio — central, dense, and genuinely lived-in rather than touristic. Omonoia has a mixed reputation and a long programme of public investment behind it, and we would rather you knew that from us than discovered it on Google. Our location page gives the honest version of the neighbourhood.
The process
How to Buy an Apartment in Athens as a Foreign Buyer
There is no general restriction on foreign ownership of Greek property, and most of the process can be handled without you being in the country.
Get a Greek tax number (AFM) and open a Greek bank account. Your lawyer can arrange both.
Appoint a Greek lawyer and grant a power of attorney. This is standard practice and lets them act for you remotely.
Due diligence and reservation on the specific unit.
Completion before a notary, followed by registration at the land registry.
Costs beyond the price: transfer tax is 3.09% of the assessed value on most purchases. VAT on new builds is currently suspended — a suspension, extended through 2026, not an abolition, so confirm the status for your specific unit. Add notary, land registry and legal fees; as a planning figure, allow roughly 5–7% in total, and get a precise number from your lawyer.
Annual costs: Greece levies ENFIA, an annual property tax, typically between €2 and €16.20 per square metre depending on zone, floor, age and surface. Anyone telling you Greece has no property tax is either misinformed or hoping you are.
Our step-by-step guide for foreign buyers walks through the whole thing, and the FAQ answers what people actually ask us.
Buy to live, or buy to let
Some buyers want a home in central Athens. Some want an asset. Both work here, and they lead to different questions.
If the apartment is an investment, the building’s managed rental programme runs it for you — and, because Urban City 44 holds a tourist-accommodation licence, it can take nightly stays in a postcode where private short-term letting is currently frozen. If the serviced-apartment model is new to you, our guide to serviced apartments in Athens explains it. For the market numbers — occupancy, running costs, the tax position — see investment and returns.
Reflects the position in July 2026. General information only — not legal, tax or investment advice. Costs and tax rules change; the VAT suspension is time-limited. Property values can fall as well as rise. Seek independent Greek legal and tax advice before purchasing.
