What it means for crews and suppliers
Every new apartment building is a project with dozens of jobs: excavation and frame, electrical and plumbing, insulation, windows and doors, floors, lift, painting. The date of the permit shows roughly when each trade will be needed. On the map you can see every project in Palaio Faliro with its date and key details.

How we count
We count only new apartment buildings: buildings with at least 4 levels and dwellings on at least 2 floors. Each project counts once, on the date of the first building permit; revisions, updates and pre-approvals do not count as a new permit. A permit does not mean that works have started.
The figures concern the Municipality of Palaio Faliro (not the wider area) and come from the acts of the Technical Chamber of Greece (TEE) on Diavgeia, to 3 November 2026. The works come from the Small-Scale Building Works Approvals (Law 4759/2020) that TEE posts on Diavgeia, based on the standardised catalogue of works on the form. An act may list more than one work, so it counts in each relevant category.
In the first quarter of 2025 permits were few across the country: after the Council of State ruling on the "bonuses" of the NOK (the New Building Regulation) in December 2024, the building services approved only permits without them (Parapolitika). That is why the comparison with 2025 shows a bigger change in the first months.
