Today, the company stands at the forefront of both commercial and residential development, with a focus on projects that emphasize purpose and long-lasting relationships. “We treat each project as a collaborative process,” states President Valentino Kontos, reflecting the firm’s ethos of clear communication and shared understanding from planning to delivery.

Kontos Construction is not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about creating environments that serve people. Their expansive services include full-cycle real estate development, retail, office, and industrial construction management, as well as mixed-use projects designed to foster efficiency and community integration.
