Every layer we build
still holds the one below it.
Jean El Khoury Development has shaped homes, landmarks and communities across Lebanon, Iraq and the Gulf for over four decades — from a one-room design office in Byblos to 280+ projects in development, contracting and consulting.
Built by one generation, carried forward by the next.
"Since founding Jean El Khoury Development in 1982, my vision has been to build more than structures — shaping communities and enriching lives. From our roots in Byblos to projects across Lebanon and beyond, we remain committed to excellence, sustainability, and innovation."
Today — Second Generation
Youssef El Khoury, Civil Engineer and CEO with 20 years in project management and construction, now leads the group alongside Karim El Khoury, holder of a PhD in Structural Mechanics from Imperial College London and an HSE‑certified structural engineer. Together they build on four decades of excellence while extending the practice into Iraq, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Six businesses, one foundation of construction expertise.
We do "everything construction." We are experts in engineering, design, planning and project management; we execute with precision; and we are strategic investors in the real estate, hospitality and industrial ventures we build.
