Accordingly, the static and electromechanical studies have been prepared by Buro Happold based in London, with the assistance of local partners, “DETA CONSULTING ENGINEERS” for statics and “TEKEM SA.” for electromechanical studies. The design of the landscape has been prepared by the company “DOXIADIS PLUS”.
Commenting on the issuance of the Riviera Tower building permit, the permit CEO of Lamda Development, Odysseas Athanasiou thanked all the services of the Greek State and stressed that the Riviera Tower is another important step towards the rapid completion of the first phase of Ellinikon.
