About AREOT Constructions

AREOT Constructions founding story — early high-rise project

Our Story

25 Years of Engineering Excellence

AREOT Constructions was founded in Atlanta in 1999 by James Osei, a civil engineer with a singular vision: to build structures that outlast generations and define skylines worldwide. What began as a specialist high-rise contractor with a 12-person team has grown into one of the world's most trusted construction companies with over 1,200 skilled professionals operating globally.

Our philosophy is simple — every project is a legacy. Whether it's a 42-storey commercial tower in Atlanta, a luxury residential tower in Sydney, or a landmark mixed-use complex in Dubai, we approach every build with the same relentless commitment to structural integrity, aesthetic excellence, and human safety.

Today, AREOT Constructions operates globally with a combined portfolio value exceeding $2.4 billion. We hold offices in London, Dubai, Singapore, São Paulo, Sydney, Tokyo, and other major cities worldwide. ISO 9001:2015 certified, LEED Gold accredited, and ENR Global Top 400 Contractor three consecutive years running.
