Abdul Hafiz Mansour- CEO, Horizon Management

Executive talks to Abdul Hafiz Mansour, CEO of Horizon Management, the real estate company, established in 2003, to oversee and develop the Hariri Group’s real estate portfolio, about projects in Lebanon and abroad. E What are the most important projects Horizon has been working on so far? We have been working on three projects to date. First of all, there’s the project codenamed V5, which will be one of the three most important shopping destinations in Beirut. It will be built on the site of the former Karmel St. Joseph School opposite Dunes in Verdun. While the fragmentation of ownership in Lebanon and the strength of the country’s property law often make it difficult to develop such a large area, we did not face any of those problems. Secondly, there is the Raouche Hotel, which is a 270-room, high-end luxury hotel, which will be built next to the Coral Gas
