New life is set to be breathed into the International Broadcasting Centre (IBC) in Maroussi, Athens.

Built for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Greece’s Ministries of Finance and Environment have approved Lamda Development’s investment plan, which will see the entire centre opened up for commercial purposes.

Expected to complement the Golden Hall shopping centre now in use, the plans include an exciting new museum dedicated to the Olympic Games.

Also on the cards are commercial spaces covering 39,000 square meters, multipurpose entertainment spaces, and a food hall.

The top floors will feature office spaces, while a significant portion of the ground and first floors will see play areas for children set up, along with well-equipped gym facilities.

As part of the development plans, there will be 59,167 square metres in storage facilities located underground, along with 189 car spaces, and an additional 37 outdoors.
