Thessaloniki to tender major square renovations

The Municipality of Thessaloniki is moving toward the tender process for the redevelopment of Demokratias and Dioikitirou squares. These projects, which aim to transform the city center, have a combined budget exceeding 16 million euros. The municipality intends to auction the projects by late November or early December.

The redevelopment of Dioikitirou square has an indicative budget of 6.7 million euros, while Demokratias square is estimated at 9.486 million euros. Once approved by the Municipal Committee, the projects will be submitted for funding through the ESPA Central Macedonia program. Demokratias square has not undergone renovation since 1970, and the Dioikitirou project aims to address a 30-year period of neglect.

Additionally, work is progressing on Agia Sofia Street and Eleftherias Square, the latter of which is being converted into a Holocaust Memorial Park. On November 15, construction will begin on the final pedestrian section of Agia Sofia Street in front of the Thessaloniki Metropolis.
