The Piraeus Tower, standing 88 meters tall with 22 floors, has been transformed into Greece’s first sustainable high-rise building, revitalizing the heart of one of Europe’s largest passenger ports. This mixed-use architectural landmark features offices, retail spaces, a gym and F&B areas, along with breathtaking 360° views of Piraeus and the Athenian Riviera. The project has achieved LEED Platinum certification and WELL Core™ enrollment, prioritizing sustainability and user well-being. The tower’s new façade showcases Saint-Gobain Glass products, including COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II, renowned for its outstanding solar control and high light transmission. These advanced glazing units, built on DIAMANT® low-iron glass, flood interiors with natural light while minimizing heat gain, reducing energy demands for cooling and lighting. Additionally, 125 tons of end-of-life glass from the original structure were recycled in Saint-Gobain’s Calarasi plant, exemplifying the project’s circular economy approach and environmental stewardship. The Piraeus Tower now stands as a symbol of modernity and sustainability, where innovative materials and thoughtful design create a workspace for over 2,000 people, redefining urban high-rise architecture in Greece. As a symbol of renewal, it serves as the gateway to the Athenian Riviera and a model for future sustainable development. GLASS FOR FAÇADE - 2025 EDITION BACK TO CONTENTS 95
