Polidano Group

[4] Polidano has been working on almost all major infrastructural projects in Malta in the past decades from the Malta Freeport terminal 1 extension, the Lufthansa Technik hangar, the WasteServ Sant Antnin Solid Waste Treatment Plant, the North Sewage Treatment Plant, as well The Westin Dragonara, Intercontinental Hotel and Hilton hotels and the high-end housing developments of Portomaso and Tigné Point.

[4][3] In 2009 Polidano started the development of a 40-apartment residential block within Balzan's village core, despite its application having been rejected by the Malta Environment and Planning Authority (MEPA) as leading to overdevelopment.

[5] However, in November 2017 the court of criminal appeal reduced the fine to €10,000, noting that in the meantime, in 2014, another Polidano company had been granted permission to develop the area while preserving a green enclave with a large number of trees.

Polidano built a 19-metre high office block (double the 10.5 metre limit for industrial areas) and multilevel underground parking, as well as a brick factory and a dormitory for up to 64 foreign workers.

[10] Polidano also owns the Montekristo Estates holding outside Siġġiewi, including event venues, entertainment facilities, a zoo, a restaurant, a winery, and an olive oil mill operation, which Malta's Planning Authority once described as “one of the largest illegally-built construction sites on the island”.

[11] In November 2013 the Planning Authority descended on the site together with soldiers and police to demolish illegalities, including a replica of a Knights of Malta tower, a classical-style building and a four-storey edifice with a pool being used as a cafeteria.
