(07) Since 1973
A family company that never left a project unfinished.
AHC was founded in 1973 by Keith H. Libolt and Phillip Jannotti, focused on structural masonry, construction, and renovation work. Within five years the business had grown into home building, condominiums, light commercial and light industrial space.
When the real estate recession hit in 1989, AHC turned to smaller-sized urban affordable housing, building lasting relationships with HUD, FHLB, NYS HCR, NYS HFA and others. Today, the founder's son and grandson lead AHC as partners.
