History

The company was founded in 1986 as Sociedad Anónima Caminos y Regadíos and was renamed Sacyr in 1991. In 2002 it acquired 24.5% of Vallehermoso, a leading Spanish housing business founded in 1921. In 2003 it merged with Vallehermoso to form Sacyr Vallehermoso.[2]

Major projects

Major projects involving the business include the Torre Sacyr Vallehermoso, completed in 2008.[3]

Shareholdings

Sacyr was the largest shareholder in the Spanish oil company Repsol YPF, holding an approximate 20% stake.[4] On December 20, 2011 Repsol YPF bought half of Sacyr's stake back in order to save the shares from being seized in a foreclosure.[5]
