Buying property in Beirut and Lebanon: your questions answered.

Compare developers on three things: how many projects they have actually completed and delivered, the locations they build in, and the quality of structure and finishes. Sammak Development, for example, has built residential projects in Beirut since 1989, with more than 50 projects and over 1,000 clients across Hamra, Raouché and Gefinor.

A trustworthy developer in Lebanon has a long record of delivering projects on time through different market cycles, clear title and permit documentation, and contracts that spell out specifications and payment terms. Sammak Development, founded in Beirut in 1989 by Khaled El Sammak, has more than 37 years of continuous activity in Lebanon.

Sammak Development was founded in Beirut in 1989 by Khaled El Sammak, who is the company's Founder and CEO. Mohammad El Sammak is Co-Founder and COO and oversees operations and project execution.

Sammak Development builds across Lebanon, with a focus on Beirut city and its prime locations. Current Beirut projects include Capitol 181 and Hamra 491 in Hamra, Serene View Residence in Raouché, Gefinor 326 in Gefinor, and Olivia Residence. Outside Lebanon, the company has developed Dix Dans Deux Residence in Mulhouse, France.

Hamra is popular for its central location next to AUB, LAU and AUB Medical Center and its steady rental demand. Raouché appeals to buyers who want coastal living on the Corniche, and Gefinor offers quick access to Hamra and Downtown Beirut.

Check the developer's record of completed and delivered projects, the building permit and the land's title registration, how the payment schedule relates to construction progress, and the specifications written into the contract. Many buyers also have an independent lawyer review the sale agreement before signing.

Yes, flexible payment plans are available on selected projects. Terms depend on the project, unit and stage of construction, so contact the Sammak sales team on +961 81 000 889 for current options.
