Thessaloniki, a Vibrant City

With a metropolitan population of around 1.1 million, Thessaloniki stands at the crossroads of the Balkans and Southeast Europe. Its port, Greece’s second-largest, connects the city to Europe and the Mediterranean, reinforcing its role as a dynamic hub for commerce and innovation. Steeped in more than 2,300 years of history, adorned with world-class museums, galleries, and UNESCO World Heritage sites, Thessaloniki is a living mosaic of culture and timeless heritage. Its esteemed universities and the renowned State Conservatory enrich the city with knowledge, talent, and artistic excellence. Vibrant streets, acclaimed gastronomy, and year-round festivals complete the picture of a city that is not only extraordinary to visit but exceptional to call home.
THE WESTERN ENTRANCE
Thessaloniki’s Next Growth Epicenter

The western entrance of Thessaloniki is entering a new era of growth and renewal. Once defined by industry and infrastructure, it is now transforming into a contemporary, vibrant district, a destination of investment, culture, and opportunity that marks the next chapter in the city’s evolution.

At the heart of this transformation stands FIX, a landmark mixed-use development that captures Thessaloniki’s new urban vision. Just minutes from the city center and approximately 30 minutes from Thessaloniki International Airport, FIX sits at the intersection of connectivity and potential where culture thrives, hospitality flourishes, and contemporary living is redefined through sophistication, comfort, and inspiration.

Just across the street, HUB 26, Northern Greece’s first sustainable business park, has already reshaped the local business landscape, attracting leading national and multinational corporations, major financial institutions, and over 2,500 professionals, establishing the area’s position as Thessaloniki’s new business epicenter. Nearby, the forthcoming Metropolitan Park, currently being designed on land owned by the Hellenic Railways Organization, will become one of Thessaloniki’s largest and most vibrant green destinations, enriching the city’s urban fabric with open space.

The property’s prime location is further enhanced by its proximity to five-star hotels and major retail destinations, as well as by Thessaloniki’s ongoing infrastructure upgrades, including the FlyOver project, which, though located elsewhere in the city, will play a key role in enhancing connectivity and mobility across the wider metropolitan area.

Yet beyond its commercial and urban value, this part of the city is also emerging as Thessaloniki’s new cultural frontier. Just a few steps from FIX, the Holocaust Museum of Greece is taking shape, a landmark of remembrance, reflection, and education that deepens Thessaloniki’s global cultural narrative. Through dialogue and collaboration with other leading international museums and institutions, it will position Thessaloniki as a key center for the study and commemoration of the Holocaust, as well as a vital participant in the broader global discourse on culture, memory, and human values.

Within the FIX complex, the Cultural Hub, a listed heritage property owned by the Ministry of Culture, will soon host the MOMus–Museum of Modern Art with its world-renowned Costakis Collection, alongside the Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, establishing the western entrance as a new gateway of culture.

The Costakis Collection ensemble, 1,277 masterpieces of the Russian avant-garde, alongside works by Greek and international modernists, stands as a cornerstone of Greece’s visual arts legacy and a symbol of bold artistic innovation. The Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra, Northern Greece’s most historic and distinguished symphonic institution, brings to FIX its long tradition of excellence and creative vision. As one of the country’s foremost cultural organizations, it will find here a new home, a contemporary stage that bridges heritage with innovation and reinforces Thessaloniki’s position as a center of cultural distinction.

Together, these institutions elevate the western entrance into far more than a district of growth, they transform it into a living symbol of Thessaloniki’s evolution: a place where investment meets inspiration, and where culture defines the city’s future. This new ecosystem of business, culture, and urban life positions the western entrance as Thessaloniki’s most strategic destination, a district of enduring value and global resonance.
