Additional verified data
Construction contractor license
Registration as a building contractor is confirmed directly, not merely by a name match. In the official catalog of the Cyprus Council for Registration and Control of Building Contractors (Κατάλογος Εγγεγραμμένων Ανανεωμένων Εργοληπτών 2025, section 'Οικοδομικά (Λευκωσία)'), the company appears twice: (1) 'K. ATHIENITIS CONTRACTORS DEVELOPERS PUBLIC LIMITED', Αρ. Φακ. 3458/1983/ΛΕΥ, and (2) 'K. ATHIENITIS CONTRACTORS LIMITED', Αρ. Φακ. 10218/2016/ΛΕΥ, experience/admission class Α' (highest). Both times the identical address is given — 48, Θεμιστοκλή Δέρβη, Γρ. 801, Λευκωσία 1066 — and identical phone numbers 22447855/22764329, fully matching the address and phone numbers of legal entity HE21791 (K. Athienitis Contractors Developers Public Limited) in the companies registry. This removes the question of a coincidental name match and confirms that the entity being checked is indeed the one listed in Nicosia's 'Building' contractors registry.
Legal entity
The legal entity K. Athienitis Contractors Developers Public Limited (HE21791, reg. 11.04.1984, Active status) is a named, long-established company with individuals as directors (Michalis Athienitis, Panagiotis Athienitis — also secretary), with no signs of nominee/corporate directors. For the project SPV 'GPR Green Park Residences Ltd' (developer of The Courtyard project), it is publicly disclosed that K. Athienitis acts as shareholder, director, contractor, and sales manager — that is, the link with the project company is open, not hidden. No direct signs of an offshore ownership layer ABOVE K. Athienitis itself were found in any public source. However, the full shareholder register and ownership history on CyprusRegistry.com are available only via a paid report (~€65) and were not obtained, so 100% documentary confirmation of the absence of a hidden layer above the operating company cannot be given — hence the partial score.
Town planning permits
There is no centralized public registry of building permits in Cyprus (issuance is handled by 5 new district local-government organizations, EOAs, with no public search), so this factor was assessed by the company's own disclosure. The pages of the athienitis.net website were checked (including 'The Landmark Nicosia Contract', the general project list) as well as the website of the current project The Courtyard (thecourtyard.com.cy) — no specific Town Planning Permit number/reference is mentioned on any page for current projects (The Landmark Nicosia, The Courtyard, Thaleia Residence, Athienitis Luxury Homes III). The only regulatory/certification mention found is the LEED Gold certification of The Landmark Nicosia office tower, which is a voluntary environmental certification, not a building permit, and does not count toward this indicator.
Collected from public sources (contractor registry, company registry, press). A fact not found means "not found in public records," not "doesn't exist."
