Grčka – Mohegan nudi pet puta veću minimalnu cijenu natječaja za Hellinikon licencu
By Phil - 8. listopada 2020
Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment, its Greek partner GEK TERNA, and the consortium behind its bid to bring Inspire Athens to fruition has offered €150m for the 30-year licence needed to operate the 120 table and 1,200 slot casino resort.
Mohegan Gaming is the sole bidder in the much-delayed tender process to build a casino resort on the site of the former Athens airport in Hellinikon with the competing bid from Hard Rock International (HRI) failing to make it through to the next round and subsequently having its appeal rejected.
The casino would be part of an €8bn resort on the site of the former Athens airport in Hellinikon, on the southern coast at Elliniko, overseen by Greek developer Lamda.
Greece’s gaming commission opened Mohegan’s financial bid this week.
Development Minister Adonis Georgiadis said: “The tender had set a minimum price of €30m. Mohegan offered a lump sum of €150m.”
The next part of the tender process will see the contracts signed and then approvals from Greek auditors and parliament.
The plan is to have the casino open by 2024. The resort will consist of a luxury hotel, entertainment venues, convention center, shopping, dining, casino, and a comprehensive mix of premium amenities. The development will help launch a new era of tourism growth and economic prosperity for all of Greece and the entire region.
Kultni dizajn zgrade osmislio je Steelman Partners, međunarodna arhitektonska tvrtka specijalizirana za IRC dizajn i razvoj. Konceptni oblik crpi inspiraciju iz arhitektonske povijesti Grčke, posebno iz atenskih skulptura i građevina uključujući Akropolu i Karijatide.
Procjenjuje se da će razvoj Inspire Athens stvoriti više od 7,000 radnih mjesta u regiji tijekom i nakon izgradnje, uključujući izravna, neizravna i inducirana. Očekuje se da će dovršetak Integriranog odmarališta i kasina povećati međunarodni turizam u regiji Attica za najmanje 10 posto i doprinijeti milijune eura godišnje i vladi i narodu Grčke u obliku poreza, poboljšanja infrastrukture i javnog usluge.
