Keranis Residences: How Mercan Group in Greece Is Attracting Investment and Revitalizing Piraeus Author: Jerry Morgan, President and Founder, Mercan Group NET HABERLER - TURKEY 1. With over 35 years of experience since its founding in 1989, how has Mercan Group’s global track record influenced its vision for expansion across Europe, particularly in markets like Portugal and Greece? Founded in 1989, Mercan Group brings over 35 years' experience in global investment.  As a partner of renowned hospitality brands, we are a trusted name in international immigration by investment. We provide investors with unmatched expertise and high-potential projects in prime locations. Our know-how has been instrumental in shaping our strategic approach to expansion across high-potential markets, always guided by a commitment to quality, innovation and long-term value creation.  This global track record has been a guiding force in our expansion into Europe. In 2015, Mercan identified Portugal as a high-potential market, driven by its political and economic stability, strong safety profile, and thriving tourism sector. Building on that success, we soon expanded into Greece, recognizing the opportunities that the country offers. To date, Mercan has invested over €1.3 billion in hospitality projects across Portugal and Greece through Golden Visa programs. 2. Can you tell us more about the Greek Golden Visarelated with Keranis Residences? Absolutely. The Greek Golden Visa Program is one of the most attractive in the world. It offers EU residency with an investment starting from €250,000 in real estate eligible under the program—specifically properties converted from commercial to residential use, like our Keranis Residences in Piraeus.  This development marks a significant milestone for Mercan Group in Greece. Strategically located just minutes from the heart of Athens, Keranis Residences provide international investors a prime real estate opportunity and a seamless path to European residency.  Greece’s Golden Visa stands out among Europe’s residency-by-investment options, offering permanent residency, Schengen visa-free travel, and no minimum stay requirement. It also extends to family members—spouses, children under 21, and parents—and opens a path to Greek citizenship after seven years. With high rental demand and strong potential for capital appreciation, Keranis Residences is truly an exceptional opportunity for those looking to invest in both lifestyle and long-term value. 3. How is Mercan Group supporting investors on this journey in Greece?
