In 1998, AK-Group, A&Y Construction sister company, was founded as general building contractor in Durres, Albania. The company grew rapidly from a small firm to being one of the main contractors, working in residential, hotels and mixed-use projects in the coastline of Durres, Golem and Kavaje.
The company continued to grow in the Albanian market and in 2012, it made its first international breakthrough by expanding its activity in Nur-Sultan (then Astana) in Kazakhstan. Our team worked in big and prestigious projects; including “Abu Dhabi Plaza” development which when completed will be the tallest building in Central Asia, reaching 310 meters.
In 2018 which marked the 20th anniversary of the company, AK Group expanded in Montenegro. The company worked as contractor in various important projects that are shaping the future of Podgorica.
In 2019, AK Group expanded its activity in Croatia under the new name, A&Y Construction. The company worked in Valamar Pical Convention Center in coastal city of Poreč, which is the largest single investment in Croatian tourism. In July 2020, A&Y Construction started working at RIO Rijeka complex; a residential, office and commercial project on the site of the former RIO clothing industry in Rijeka.
At the end of 2020, A&Y Construction and its sister companies reached the milestone of 500,000 square meter of buildings constructed.
