In July 2026 GAIAOSE, the asset‑management arm of the Hellenic Growth Fund, issued non‑binding invitations for expressions of interest to redevelop three Greek railway stations—Larissa, Platamonas and Katakolo. The proposals called for mixed‑use projects combining hospitality, residential, commercial, cultural and recreational facilities, with a submission deadline of 15 October 2026. The initiative sparked debate over potential impacts on historic identities and public spaces. By early August 2026 the Technical Chamber of Greece’s Regional Department of Central and Western Thessaly formally endorsed participation in the Larissa station redevelopment process. While welcoming the mixed‑use concept, the Chamber stressed the need to preserve the active passenger station and essential rail infrastructure. It recommended undergrounding the rail line and conducting detailed technical, environmental and flood assessments before any irreversible zoning decisions are made. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-05: Technical Chamber of Greece backs Larissa railway station redevelopment plan Greece's Technical Chamber supports GAIAOSE's 233‑ha mixed‑use redevelopment of the Larissa railway station, urging integrated planning and preserving options for underground rail lines. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/technical-chamber-of-greece-backs-larissa-railway-station-redevelopment-plan ### 2026-07-20: GAIAOSE launches redevelopment bids for three Greek railway stations GAIAOSE seeks bids to redevelop Larissa, Platamonas and Katakolo railway stations into mixed‑use urban hubs, with proposals due by 15 Oct 2026 amid concerns over heritage and community impact. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gaiaose-launches-redevelopment-bids-for-three-greek-railway-stations --- Cite as: Greek railway station redevelopment plans.
