The company announced the cash call in October to help fund an 8-billion-euro plan to turn Athens’ former Hellenikon airport into a complex of luxury homes, hotels, offices and a casino.

Lamda, controlled by the Latsis family, said Tuesday it raised 650 million euros (USD 724 M) via a rights issue to help finance part of a landmark project at Hellenikon, a sprawling site of disused runways, terminals and venues used for the Athens 2004 Olympics.

The equity sale was oversubscribed by 1.1 times with 99% of it covered by investors who exercised their preemptive rights, Lamda said in a bourse filing, Reuters reported.

Lamda expects to spend about 2 billion euros in the first five years of an estimated 25-year construction phase to build two skyscrapers of offices and a hotel, about 800 residences and a park.

Last month Lamda announced it had reached an initial agreement with Eurobank and Piraeus Bank on the basic terms for a loan of up to 880 million euros as it prepares to start the project.
