A family business with a long-term outlook: 45 years of experience and the second generation at the helm.

Origins and evolution

A family business with a long-term outlook

We were born in Gipuzkoa 45 years ago as a family business, and today the second generation is taking over with the same conviction: doing things well. That family character is not a label; it is the way we work and make decisions. It gives us roots, because we know where we come from; reliability and solidity, because we keep every commitment we make; and a long-term vision that puts quality before any shortcut. That is why our clients come back. For us, every building is part of a legacy that connects us with people and places, and that is designed to last over time.

Integrated business model

We are developers, we are builders, and we have an industry division with its own supply chain. All of it through a single team that works in an integrated way from start to finish.

This unique integrated model gives us scale, control and the capacity to take on large-scale projects with full guarantees. Our origins and experience in construction set us apart, allow us to work across different areas of activity (residential, landmark buildings, tertiary, sports, industrial and civil works), and ensure we can serve a wide variety of public and private clients under any model (build-to-rent, delegated development or turnkey).
