Elliniko is the site of a major development project for coastal Athens beginning in 2020 and due for completion in 2026—the Hellinikon Metropolitan Park, consisting of luxury homes, hotels, a casino, a marina, shops, offices, and Greece's tallest buildings such as the Riviera Tower and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Athens, which will be the first integrated resort in Greece.
