Under his direct leadership, the company successfully delivered the Skyhills Residences 1 project six months ahead of schedule
Dubai, UAE: HRE Development – one of Dubai’s most recognised names in real estate development – has officially announced the appointment of Mohammad Al Sari as the new Chief Executive Officer.
Previously serving as the Chief Development Officer, Al Sari’s transition to CEO comes at a period of momentous growth and expansion for the company. With over 20 years of experience in the UAE real estate sector, he brings a wealth of expertise in property development, wellness-oriented design, and architectural excellence.
Already a prominent voice in the market, Al Sari has consistently championed the philosophy that early delivery is a strict operational discipline rather than a mere marketing tactic.
“Appointing Mr. Al Sari as CEO marks a significant milestone for HRE Development,” said Mohamed Adib Hijazi, Chairman of HRE Development. “His leadership will be instrumental in strengthening our vision, accelerating strategic growth, and ensuring we continue to deliver developments built with purpose, quality, and lasting value.”
Commenting on his appointment, Al Sari stated: “Our focus is to take HRE Development to the next level. We are deeply committed to building premium projects in Dubai’s most sought after communities, ensuring we give both investors and end users the opportunity to be a central part of the city’s future.”
Beyond project delivery, Mohammad Al Sari brings a forward-looking perspective to urban expansion and investment strategy. He predicts that major infrastructure advancements, such as the upcoming Dubai Gold Line, will bring strategic residential hubs – including Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), MBR City, and Meydan – into sharper focus for global investors.
He will also lead HRE’s in-house construction arm, HRE Contracting and Construction, which meticulously oversees design, procurement, and final handover without relying heavily on third party contractors. This strong operational framework ensures rigorous end-to-end quality control across the portfolio.
