RICH PORTFOLIO
41% are plots, 34% buildings and 25% plots of land
Among the real estates that the Church has taken advantage of is the area on which the Electra Hotels and Resorts group is developing its new hotel in Thessaloniki. The group bid in a tender conducted by the Ecclesiastical Central Finance Service (EKYO) of the Church of Greece and acquired the property on which the new high standard hotel will be built.
The tender concerned the long-term lease of the property, with an area of 1.5 acres, located near HANTH, at the corner of Tsimiski and Ethniki Amini streets, and the duration of the concession was set at 49 years with the right to extend for 49 additional years.
A hotel with a capacity of 165 rooms will be developed on this property. This is the seventh hotel that will join the portfolio of the Electra Hotels and Resorts group, which currently has a presence, apart from Thessaloniki, in Athens, Rhodes and Kefalonia.
The Church of Greece has in its portfolio thousands of properties throughout the country, with 41% of them being plots of land, 34% buildings or apartments and 25% plots of land. The Church owns approximately 1,300,000 acres of forest and agricultural lands, as well as pastures, while 48% of its real estate is located in Athens and Piraeus, 24% in Thessaloniki and the rest in various regions throughout Greece.
In fact, for the optimal use of the Church’s real estate, in the past there were thoughts of establishing an AEEAP (Real Estate Investment Company), which would be in charge of gathering and managing all of the Church’s real estate, which may did not take place, however, it led to the issuance of a relevant gazette for the establishment of a regulation regarding the leasing, sale and in general the utilization of the ecclesiastical property of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens.
In the same context, the Holy Archdiocese of Athens had advanced the procedures for the most complete geospatial and administrative documentation of the church properties which are registered in the Real Estate Management Subsystem (DEAP) available to the Archdiocese and which is handled by EKYO.
About 13,300 real estate records were registered in DEAP, part of which belongs to the Archdiocese and its parishes. The responsibility for the management and utilization of most of these properties has been assumed by the Church of Greece through the EKYO financial service.
