CEO
Mr Iosif Arabatzis is the Founder and CEO of EPIKYKLOS. He founded the company in 2008 and, since then, he has been leading it to a path of constant growth, with hundreds of construction and renovation projects in its portfolio.
As a personality with an aptitude for innovation, in 2011 he introduced the fixed-budget residence renovation packages in the Greek market. In 2015, having studied the needs of the country’s tourism industry, he launched the fixed-budget hotel renovation packages. In 2016, he created a new research department within EPIKYKLOS, where new materials and techniques are tested before being used in the company’s projects.
His aim was to enter into a creative collaboration with the architecture community, so he transformed the company’s offices into an open space, where the designers’ inspiration meets the experience in implementation; to this day, the company has built partnerships with more than 25 major architectural firms. As a person with artistic and social sensibilities, he has made the presence of EPIKYKLOS a “must” in all the major cultural events of Athens.
He has been closely following the developments in construction and the real estate market and, since 2017, he has been active in the Real Estate sector, creating a pillar of cooperation with the largest investors inside and outside the country. In 2021, he redefined building design and construction, introducing the model apartment building “URBAND” to the market. Ever since then, he continues to construct new buildings in the light of a more beautiful and functional world, with respect to both people and the environment.
His motto:
“We create the spaces that shape us.
The know-how, the best intentions and the right marketing can change the world for the better”
