ENG. AMR SOLIMAN
Founder, Delivering Happiness Egypt
Founder, Chairman and CEO of Mountain View and DMG Group
Contributing to the legacy of Dar Al Mimar Group that extends over 30 years, Engineer Amr Soliman has been one of the key figures of the real estate industry in Egypt and the MENA region. Engineer Amr’s leadership stems from a deeply rooted belief in the power of innovation and novelty as pillars to design, architecture, and development. Eng. Amr reflects his vision in life and business approach in DMG - an abbreviation for Dar AI Mimar Group. The name; Dar Al Mimar, which is an Arabic name that reflects the warmth of home: "Dar", the power of the "Group" and the enthusiasm to develop and build landmarks through "Mimar"; which is Architecture. Through this extensive expertise and long journey in the sector, Amr Soliman altered and tailored his vision to mold Mountain View as a professional real estate development company in 2005. Mountain View quickly evolved from developing small premium communities and mini-compounds to city-scale developments that integrate different life activities.
Eng. Amr has been extensively working on crystalizing a pioneer concept and vision of happiness to tailor it into the vivid design and dynamic architecture in the communities delivered for the ultimate satisfaction of the clients. As a result of this revolutionary approach, Mountain View-DMG has launched their very first “happy” administrative project “Heartwork.” In collaboration with Delivering Happiness (DH) and CallisonRTKL, the project was designed within the framework of its CSR strategy in order to create a positive environment through the choice of colors and materials.
In addition to leading development and innovation, Amr Soliman spends a considerable part of his time to support social and humanitarian activities. He is, in fact, an active and founding partner of several charities and social responsibility institutions, including "The Egyptian Food Bank,” and "Terous." He also took part in the foundation of the American University in Cairo’s Real Estate Academy Program and is one of the referees of its graduation projects.
