Winning bids for redevelopment of Athens metro squares
Athens Anaplasis (Athens Redevelopment) has published the winners of the first three of seven tenders for the redevelopment of the squares where Metro Line 4 stations will be built.
For Exarchia Square, six proposals were submitted, with the winner being Tense Architecture Network. The proposal by XZA Architects won from among the 12 submitted for Kolonaki Square. The winner among the four proposals for Evangelismos was MP Sparch.
The results will be finalized early next week, when the deadline for submitting objections formally expires.
Chronis Akritidis, president of Athens Anaplasis, told Kathimerini that essentially all seven competitions have been completed and the results of the remaining four (Alexandras, Dikastiria, Kypseli and Akadimias) stations will be announced shortly.
“Then it will have to be clarified who [Athens Redevelopment or Hellenic Metro] will take over the maturation of the studies,” he said.
The results come at a time when protests surrounding the felling of trees in Exarchia Square have been reignited, with authorities stating that a change of location for Exarchia and Evangelismos stations is out of the question.
