The eight schemes are:

Advance Properties O.O.D.

The tender foresees a 60-year concession from the moment of signing.

HRADF has appointed Deloitte Business Solutions S.A. and Euroconsultants S.A. to act jointly as financial advisors, and Doxiadis Associates is the technical adviser in the tendering process and transaction.

HRADF’s sole shareholder is the Hellenic Corporation of Assets and Participations (HCAP). The latter is the Greek state’s sovereign wealth fund, responsible for managing and optimizing public and state assets.
