Limassol is changing fast. New homes, offices, resorts and schools are reshaping the city and its surroundings as the area attracts businesses, investors and international residents.
The latest projects point to a broader shift in how Limassol is developing. Alongside residential and commercial schemes, new education and leisure facilities aim to serve a growing population and support the city’s economic expansion.
New schools
CoolSide Development and GEMS School Management are planning an international school in Pyrgos. The environmental information report submitted by CoolSide estimates an investment of €40 million for a nursery-to-secondary school, including sports facilities. The school is intended to serve up to 1,875 students.
Plans for Fasouri School set out three units, from pre-primary to secondary level, designed for a combined 4,500 students in Kato Polemidia.
A separate proposal by the Yael Foundation’s €50+ million investment plan in the Polemidia area outlines a school for up to 1,500 students, with a planned opening in 2027.
Limassol Mall planned for Agios Athanasios
The Council of Ministers approved the plan for a new Limassol Mall in July. The scheme is planned for the Agios Athanasios area, with the Nicosia Mall shareholding group and Papantoniou Group behind an estimated €95 million investment.
Mixed-use developments
On Limassol’s waterfront, the former KEAN soft drinks factory site is being redeveloped by bbf: with architects at UHA (an international architecture and design practice). The mixed-use scheme is planned to include two residential towers, two commercial towers and a retail plaza, alongside amenities such as cafés, restaurants, a gym and a spa.
Leptos Group’s Limassol Blu Marine, near the marina, is another major beachfront project. It comprises four towers: two residential and two for offices. Its residential buildings include the 35-storey Poseidon Tower and Cavalli Tower, named in connection with a €200 million collaboration between Roberto Cavalli and Leptos Group.
Further inland, proposals and developments include Imperio Properties’ Silicon Park in Agios Athanasios, with two office buildings and three serviced residential buildings.
A separate mixed-use plan by SolidVes Ltd and Eraclis Papachristou Architects includes a 15-floor residential building with 75 apartments and a 16-floor office building.
YOO Limassol is a coastal project in Pyrgos, spearheaded by Property Gallery and designed by YOO with creative director Philippe Starck. The beachfront villas and apartments about 50 metres from the sea, within a project area of 118,384 square metres.
Londa Residences is a luxury residential scheme in Germasogeia, transforming the Londa hotel into beachfront residences. Designed by Thierry Lemaire, the development includes a gym, spa and swimming pool. Completion is expected within the year.
Golf resorts and a changing waterfront
Leisure-led projects are also part of the city’s expansion. Limassol Greens, designed by AECOM, is an integrated golf and residential development west of the city, set across 1.4 million square metres of landscaped area. Its facilities include villas, apartments, a clubhouse and a wellness centre.
Aristo Developers’ Eagle Pine Golf Resort is planned to feature an 18-hole championship course, an 80-room boutique hotel, 1,000 residences and retail space.
Imperio Skyline is a gated residential community in the Germasogeia hills. It features 70 residences, including apartments, houses and villas, with amenities such as a swimming pool, gym, co-working areas and a residents’ lounge.
On the waterfront, Property Gallery’s AURA is planned as a mixed-use development combining luxury residences with services and amenities. Construction is expected to begin in 2027. The company says it aims for AURA to become the tallest building in Cyprus and the wider Mediterranean; that is a project ambition, not an independently verified outcome.
Together, the schemes show how Limassol’s property market is extending beyond homes and offices. Schools, leisure facilities, retail and resident services are increasingly prominent in plans for the city’s next phase of growth.
