Sajo
Headquartered in Montreal, Canada, Sajo is an integrated project delivery company serving international markets across the retail, commercial, residential, institutional, and utility sectors. By designing and building projects from conception through completion and post-handover, the company has positioned itself as a trusted construction partner capable of delivering seamless, end-to-end solutions.
The business was founded in 1977 as a general contractor, with its DNA rooted from the very beginning in retail and commercial spaces. The suburban expansion of the 1980s, along with the rapid development of shopping malls, fueled the company’ s growth and solidified its focus on retail contracting as a specialized niche.
The company’ s two principals, Salvatore( Sal) Guerrera and Nicola( Nick) Tedeschi, had previously worked together on several ventures and founded Sajo based on their shared experience and vision. Over nearly 50 years in business, the company has evolved from a relatively one-dimensional general contracting firm into a multifaceted organization that includes millwork fabrication and offers additional services such as design-build, technology solutions, and facility management.
This evolution has also expanded the company’ s reach beyond Canada- first into the United States, where it has been active for more than 40 years, and more recently into Europe.
“ While our US presence is longstanding, it is only in the last few years that we formalized it with standalone offices in Miami and New York City, complementing our European offices in London and Milan. That said, we do benefit from a strong residential presence in the Miami market,” says Jon Guerrera, Executive Director and Partner.
