Greece is addressing challenges regarding unmapped and inactive public real estate. Analysts have identified a significant housing shortage, noting that over 700,000 vacant or dormant residences exist across the country, many of which are owned by local government authorities. The lack of a unified mechanism for registration and fragmented data across various databases has hindered effective housing policies and social housing initiatives.

In response to management challenges, the Greek Ministry of Health has launched a specific initiative to create a digital inventory of its own holdings. Health Minister Adonis Georgiadis estimated the Ministry holds between 4,000 and 5,000 properties, valued at potentially several hundred million euros. Rather than selling these assets, the Ministry intends to optimize their use through methods such as long-term leases to generate resources for the National Health System (ESY). A consortium led by Qualco Real Estate and Qualco S.A. has been awarded a contract to conduct technical and legal audits and create digital files for these properties over a 24-to-36-month period.
