Agilité Italy opens new Milano office following continued growth

Agilité, a leading pan-European construction company, strengthens its presence in Italy with the opening of its new office in Via Cartesio 2. Confirming its position as a leading fit-out company within the retail and office sectors, the news follows exponential growth in turnover, sustainability, headcount and process quality.

Agilité arrived in Italy at the end of 2019 with the opening of its Milan office. Since beginning work on its first project in the country in August 2020, Agilité has recorded rapid and constant growth. From 2020 to 2023, the total turnover increased by more than €4 million, from €800,000 in 2020 to €5 million in 2023. Parallel to the economic increase, the team also grew, from just two colleagues in 2020 to its current team of 12 experts – mainly former architects and engineers from diverse working backgrounds.

Fundamental to this growth is the work carried out by country head, Maria Luisa Daglia, who has led Agilité’s Italian business from the outset – overseeing its managerial vision. By the end of 2024, Agilité is looking to increase headcount as well as turnover – targeting €7 million – an integral target as part of a broader strategic plan involving the entire Agilité group, which is eyeing turnover of over €60 million.

In 2024, Agilité aims to start new collaborations with Italian clients and enter the hospitality market, while continuing to operate with large chains and international players in the office and retail sectors.

Current projects in Italy include the fit-out of Scalapay’s new headquarters and new offices for Japanese pharmaceutical company Kyowa Kirin International in Milan, as well as an office project for a well-established client in the energy sector, the opening of a Uniqlo store and a co-living space in Rome. Agilité is also being considered for a project on behalf of a business-oriented global chain of luxury hotels, which would become a major hospitality project in Italy.

Having recently achieved B Corp certification, Agilité is one of only 19 companies in the 'contracting and construction' sector to obtain this recognition, reinforcing its active commitment to sustainable real estate transformation in the corporate field.

As such, Agilité must ensure that each project respects each of the three aspects of ESG in real estate: the presence of activities and best practices related to the environment will always be required, as well as a series of actions that create a significant social impact for the benefit of the community.

Finally, each intervention will have to continue to maintain a high level of general governance, to achieve a quality that is measurable both in the management of work within the team and in the processes involving subcontractors.
