About the Project
Keranis Residences / Athens Port is a residential project developed by Mercan Greece in Piraeus, Attica. The project has 408 homes in total. Unit types: Studio, 1-bedroom. Unit sizes: 44-69 m². Announced delivery date: December 2027. Starting price: €250,000. Number of floors: 6.
Keranis Residences is a redevelopment project turning the historic Keranis tobacco factory at the entrance to Piraeus into a mixed-use, mainly residential hub. According to its developer, Mercan Greece, the building of approximately 29,900 square metres over 6 floors will contain 408 apartments, all delivered fully furnished. The architectural design is by TAKA + Partners.
As the architecture practice explains, the Keranis factory complex is one of the best-known industrial buildings at the entrance to Piraeus and is closely tied to the area's economic and social development. Unused for about 20 years, it left a noticeable void on an important urban axis. The project aims to preserve the existing shell and reintegrate the building into city life, combining respect for its historical and architectural identity with principles of sustainability and energy efficiency.
Apartments are studios and one-bedroom units; the developer's gallery shows examples of a studio, a twin unit and a one-bedroom apartment. According to figures shared by the sales side, apartment sizes range from 44 to 69 square metres. The developer states that each apartment will have its own individual title deed.
Alongside the homes, shared and commercial uses are planned within the building. The developer's list includes cafés and restaurants, a rooftop bar, retail stores, co-working spaces, a fitness centre, children's play areas, sports facilities and landscaped courtyards. The architecture practice also mentions a food market, offices and green spaces, and a roof garden on top of the building with views of the Athens skyline and cityscape.
The project lies within the Municipality of Piraeus, at the entrance to the city; a trolleybus stop near the building also bears the factory's name.
Based on straight-line distances measured on open map data, the nearest tram stop is about 110 metres away, Piraeus railway station and Dimotiko Theatro metro station on Line 3 about 850 metres, the Line 1 Piraeus station about 1 kilometre and Faliro metro station 1.1 kilometres.
Karaiskakis Stadium is about 1 kilometre away and the Peace and Friendship Stadium 1.4 kilometres.
The mixed-use concept aims to let residents meet a significant share of their daily needs within the complex: the food market, cafés and restaurants, gym and offices described by the architecture practice are planned in the same building as the homes. Given the scale of 408 apartments, buyers should ask the sales office for details of how the common areas will be operated and how service charges will be structured before purchase.
In terms of access, the developer states that the project offers direct links to the historic port of Piraeus, central Athens and the Athens Riviera via highway, metro, train, tram and bus, and that central Athens is 20 to 30 minutes away by metro. The developer has announced the start of redevelopment works; since the completion dates published by different sources do not match, no firm delivery date is given here.
According to the developer, the project is offered under the Golden Visa programme in the industrial-to-residential conversion category. As the conditions for such applications depend on changes in legislation, the current position should be confirmed with an independent legal adviser before purchase.
