A. ATHANASIOU
GROUP
The A. Athanasiou Group has a long and proud history spanning
more than three decades, and is a highly-respected multifaceted
organization.
Enormously successful in the Cyprus luxury real estate and
construction industry, the group is active in three core
business areas – each engaged it its own area of
expertise and specialisation.
A. Athanasiou Developments is a leading real estate
development and property management company, which
works with individual and corporate clients who are
seeking the most suitable property type or location to suit
their respective needs.
D.T.A. Athanasiou Construction & Renovation, as its name
implies, focuses on high-quality building construction,
property renovation, road works and interior design.
Respected as master craſtsmen of residential property,
the company also has close relations with the shipping
industry as well as the emerging oil and gas sectors.
lifestyle sector through its newly-formed subsidiary, Duat
Lifestyle Group.
At the upper levels of the property market, the group has
enjoyed continuing demand for its super-luxury homes –
both as residences and for investments. It is in this sector
of the market that the group has been, and continues to
be, very successful; devising, designing and constructing
individual villas or small, exclusive clusters of premiumpriced properties that are attractive to a select group of
discerning buyers.
The A. Athanasiou Group employs a business growth
strategy that begins with market insight – at which we
excel. The group is committed to a policy of growth and
diversification that utilizes the strengths and expertise of
its core management team - well illustrated by the recent
formation of Duat Lifestyle Group.
More recently the group has entered a new phase of its
growth by making a strategic move into the personal

Chairman
I am delighted to present a group of companies that is built
to last - that is proud to be in an elite category of
construction-related firms that look ever forward, ever
upward.
It is no accident that we continually deliver the right
development and construction solutions - from residential
and multipurpose, to retail, commercial, industrial and
warehousing - because the process we follow is wellresearched and superbly refined to ensure that what we
design, build and offer satisfies and delights every client.
Our successes have earned us accolades and awards, and
come from a strong commitment to a core set of beliefs.
We believe in individuality, quality, innovation - and in our
reputation.
Our individuality is inspired by visionary international and
Cypriot architects and engineers, and quality is a deeprooted belief whereby we deliver a finished product that
demonstrates quality in every form and at every touchpoint. Our innovative use of the latest, highest standards in
sustainable construction techniques, materials and finishes
means that our projects demonstrate ‘community’ concepts
that are models for the future. And because our business
carries our family name, everything we do must reinforce
our reputation for honesty and integrity.
On a more personal level, my vision for the future
anticipates a fundamental change in the way we use land
and physical resources. We must strive for the right balance
between built environment and natural world: without
controlled growth, there will be no future. There must be a
realigning of values in which people will have space to live,
work and relax, but also open spaces that offer peace and
calm, to bring humankind closer to nature.
Going forward, I see more emphasis on enlightened urban
planning, on clearer regulation to encourage investment,
and on better-structured educational buildings to attract
overseas students. There is a need for inspirational thinking
that will influence how we build for the future - we need to
attract dynamic young talent with the ability to think
outside of the box.
I have been fortunate to have worked with many
outstanding associates: owners, developers, subcontractors,
and employees who have helped make what we do safe,
challenging, and personally satisfying. I enjoy every moment
in this business, and strive to have all those around me
feeling the same.

Meet our
General Manager
Zarina Dudnikova
A. Athanasiou Group member companies employ competent, capable
industry professionals in different fields and on different projects.
Our employees are at the core of our success and we go out
of our way to hire the right people and to provide a working

respect and career growth and attainment.
As we have grown and developed we have focussed on
employing energetic young people full of enthusiasm and
new ideas, along with qualified staff with the skills and
experience that adds a solid dimension to our team. Our
recruiting policy follows a meticulous and conscientious
procedure, and we develop our core competencies through
on-going training and appraisal activities. And to augment
this regular skill and personal development training, we also
place great emphasis on mentorship - where management
and experienced staff share their knowledge and experience.
My role as General Manager at A. Athanasiou Group and owner /
chairman of Duat Lifestyle Group keeps me close to the action, with a
primary responsibility for managing the marketing resources of the
group that is reinforced by my degrees in Management and in Law.
Added to that, as a committed people person - with
experience in executive property management, general
agency sales, corporate and project marketing, and client
service - I have a great affinity with our international
buyers and investors, and can provide the extra support and
understanding needed to help them make an informed
decision on a property.
Also as a people person, part of my role is as the public face
of the group - engaging in promotional and public relations
activities that present and enhance the image and
professionalism of the group, and all that it stands for. At
conferences, exhibitions and events around Europe, I enjoy
promoting property sales and the A. Athanasiou Group
member companies’ services and offerings.
With a vision and passion for innovative property
development in Cyprus, I’m actively involved at all stages of
each project - from concept and planning, to construction
and final handover. A marketing professional, I can also see
things from the client’s perspective, so am able to ensure
that the group delivers to clients exactly what they want.
Particularly exciting are the new Duat Lifestyle Group
projects. These present a wonderful opportunity for the
group to bring lifestyle and entertainment products of
outstanding quality and professionalism to Cyprus something that modern-day Cyprus needs, and that our
growing cosmopolitan communities are looking for.

Master Planning
Third-Party
Construction
Projects
Oſten the most difficult decision that our clients face about land
development projects is whether or not to move forward at the
very beginning.
A DTA master plan will dramatically reduce the
unknown factors associated with this early phase by
providing a long-term vision of the project site,
enabling clients to understand the possibilities.
At DTA Athanasiou Construction & Renovations we
collaborate with land owners wanting to maximise
the potential of their undeveloped or underdeveloped
land. We can devise a carefully-structured master
plan that will identify land development feasibilities,
scenarios and strategies. This can take the form of
either long-term or short-term planning strategies
and is designed to take into account all land-use
goals and potential changes and challenges during
development. And while master plans are crucial for
large land-development projects, even a small
residential site will benefit from a broad-based land
planning process that maximises site potential.
The DTA master-planning process saves time and
expense in site development at all phases - by
encompassing every aspect of the process, including
land-use, feasibility, licencing, design, infrastructure,
civil engineering, project construction, and the sale
and promotion of the project.

We are the
Renovation
Specialists!
It is that simple. D.T A. Athanasiou Construction & Renovation
are builders with the passion and skill to transform the ‘old
and tired’ into the ‘new and exciting’. Our renovation, interior
design and project management teams focus on residential
renovations, extensions, office & shop fit-outs, and restaurant
& hotel fit-outs.
We have the ability to conceptualise exactly what a
client is seeking to achieve, and this enables us to
guide and advise in all aspects of a remodelling
project - from methods and materials to spaceplanning and functionality.
Our approach is totally flexible: we can work from a
client’s own plans or help clients design a renovation
to meet specific aims or needs. It is vital to plan a
project carefully from beginning to end, and our
project manager will steer the work in the right
direction from the start.
Importantly, we provide a full service - so not only will
we carry out all the building work, but we can give
advice and preliminary guidance, then organize and
project manage the entire process from detailed
costs, planning permissions, selection of specific subcontractors, right through to completion. We
understand that on occasions, time is of the essence.
In those situations, we are able to bring the full
power of our operation to the project and work on a
24/7 basis to meet client timeframes.
The team at D.T A. Athanasiou Construction &
Renovation realize that having work done in a home
or commercial environment can be a difficult time
and can be daunting. So we do everything we can to
ensure that the process is as stress-free as possible,
and we pride ourselves on keeping disruption to a
minimum. We will respect your property and make
certain that the site is leſt clean, tidy and safe at the
end of each day.

Interior Design
Contractors
D.T A. Athanasiou Construction & Renovation can deliver
creative yet practical and cost-effective interior design
solutions for residential or commercial buildings.
Our design team is always up to date on modern
trends, whilst also highly knowledgeable on all
aspects of conventional or traditional styles. This
means that we have the skills and experience to
enable us to release the potential of any space.
Indeed, the concept of ‘space-planning’ is recognised
as a significant factor in any interior design project.
However, an abundance of creativity is oſten not
enough… we also have a deep-rooted understanding
of the practical aspects of interior design. And this
core skill allows us to deliver truly effective, workable
rooms and buildings that can be calm & relaxing,
minimalist & functional, vibrant & dynamic... or
whatever a client desires.
The key to our success is an overriding ability to
manage a project from end to end. The interior
design team consults with clients to ensure that we
are both clear as to the objectives, we then plan
every detail —from top to bottom. Final delivery is
crutial, and we liaise carefully with our renovation
team to make sure that every detail is taken care of,
and matches our client’s specifications… That all the
boxes are ticked.
We will cast a new light on a property to enhance
both value and lifestyle, and we believe in
commitment, quality workmanship and costeffectiveness.

Commercial and
Industrial Steel
Frame Construction
Solutions
The transformation of the educational, commercial and
industrial sectors from conventional materials to highstrength steel framing has quickly evolved - mainly due to its
many benefits, including speed of construction and erection,
high strength, and durability. And it is now a seriously viable,
economic and versatile construction method.
D.T.A. Athanasiou Construct & Renovation is at the
forefront of steel-frame construction technology.
With expert design and product quality paramount,
we have used steel-frame methods for constructing
educational, commercial and industrial facilities for
many applications. Our understanding and experience
of the technology and application are backed up by a
dedicated and highly professional team, who all strive
to constantly maintain our high levels of service and
product excellence.
Steel frame buildings are now at the heart of
commercial construction due to the range of benefits
that they offer. Components are engineered to align
perfectly, and are accurately manufactured, so there
is no waste, whilst specific strength and design
characteristics negate seismic effects and deter
infestations. Modern steel frame buildings do not age
or degrade, and are dimensionally stable in all
climatic conditions. And steel will not buckle, divide,
distort, rotate, chink, rot or splinter.

Duat Lifestyle
Group
Duat Lifestyle Group is a multifaceted company with the
vision and capability to grow businesses in three niche market
segments: retail, lifestyle and entertainment. These three
sectors, we believe, represent the most optimistic outlooks for
business potential in the Cyprus economy.
Cyprus has a well-deserved reputation for its vibrant
lifestyle - especially in the coastal resorts, and we
intend to develop brands, products and services that
meet the expectations of the discerning, wealthy and
essentially young Cypriots and visitors alike; we know
that they enjoy living life to the full, and we are
creating exciting ventures that capitalise on this
appetite for the good life. But more than that, we are
entering markets that are increasingly criticised for
their lack of professionalism and low levels of
customer service. That is about to change.
Duat is all about what’s better, and what’s best where customer experience will be, quite simply,
exceptional. And it will keep customers coming back
time and time again.
67
Entertainment
and Lifestyle
Duat will encompass the representation and franchising of
high-level brands and personalities in a broad range of
modern lifestyle fields. Initially the focus will be in the cuisine,
fashion, leisure, style, home, and health & wellness categories.
Forming the thrust of the Duat concept are
heightened quality and enhanced standards. Here we
refer to bringing big-name businesses to Cyprus;
names that have a superior international reputation
and that are synonymous with exclusivity, personality,
prestige, and of course the highest levels of
professionalism and service.
69
Retailing
Yet another exciting A. Athanasiou Group venture is about to
explode onto the Cyprus scene.
This time it’s a seriously-upmarket boutique to cater
exclusively for the seriously-stylish man about town.
The Store for exclusive luxury brands that will make a
man look exceptional - from the top of his head to
the tips of his toes. Splash Boutique for Men will have
everything in designer clothing, footwear and
accessories. Splash Boutique for Men is owned by
Duat Atelier, and operates in association with Splash
TG Ltd - the prestigious boutique for women.
71
Food and
Beverages
Duat’s new Wine Bar - energetic and inviting, comfortable and
elegant.
We know that to get customers coming back time
and time again we have to offer something special.
We have teamed with Uptown Square to offer clients
the very best in contemporary dining and a great bar
atmosphere. Our ‘dream team’ staff and chefs will be
the best in the business, helping to create a venue
that will be judged by our discerning customers – and
come out an unmistakable winner.
73
Yacht
Chartering
In an exciting twist, Duat will be offering private charter
yachts as the perfect way to relax and unwind. Picture a few
friends doing what they want to do, when they want to do it;
getting close to nature; visiting quiet coves and
deserted beaches only accessible by yacht; returning
from a charter refreshed, invigorated, and ready once
more to take on life’s challenges. Our crewed luxury
yacht charters will also be perfect for business
presentations, corporate entertainment, or a
romantic honeymoon.
75
Hospitality
Customers are at the heart of the hospitality industry. And for
far too long the customer’s needs have oſten been neglected
or ignored.
That is about to change when Duat opens the doors
of a new hotel in Limassol. Apart from beautiful
design and decor, we are focusing on creating a team
of professional, friendly staff, to ensure that our
guests will return again and again, and recommend
our hotel to others.
The incomparable styling of the hotel will be
emphasised by elegantly decorated rooms and suites
and the skilful blending of original artwork and
classical furnishings. We will create a special
opulence and warmth for the ultimate hotel
experience. From the moment guests enter they will
experience the very highest standards in facilities and
service, with themselves at the heart of all the hotel
offers. Dining in the gourmet restaurant will allow
guests to sample some of the finest foods and wines
from around the world.
