The company's proposal was submitted in the context of its good and constructive cooperation with the Municipality in view of the planned investment entitled "Project Voula", with a budget of 136 million euros, on an area of ​​71 acres, known as the Koniari estate, which it bought in August 2020 from Benaki Museum.

After the initial tension and while any reconstruction effort in the disputed building blocks of the "EXOHI" area had been temporarily stopped by actions of the Municipality, the VHPH company expressed its desire to contribute to free public spaces and the creation of municipal sports facilities in the area. After many months of negotiations, exchanges of views and a progressive increase in the areas to be granted free of charge, the company's final proposal submitted to our Municipality for the signing of a practical agreement for the drawing up of a notarial contract emerged.
