Al Habib 30th Anniversary Celebration

2010-03-22T10:05:00.001+04:00

Al Habib celebrate 30 years of real estate success

Al-Habib & Co celebrated thirty years of real estate excellence with an anniversary dinner at the Crown Plaza on Monday evening. The evening was presided over by His Excellency Khalil Bin Abdualla Al Khonji and was attended by key players in Oman’s business, trade and commercial communities.
Al-Habib began life in 1978 when Chairman and founder, Mr Ali Malallah Habib Al-Lawati, recognized that the real estate sector in Oman consisted of a mix of small agencies and large landlords, all operating independently of one another. With the aim of developing a ‘model real estate company’, the ambitious entrepreneur, saw a gap in the market for professional, reliable and personal real estate services. Mr Habib subsequently built the Sultanate’s largest and most professionally managed real estate services company from the ground up.
As the first real estate brokerage company to be registered with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Al Habib has played a key role in the development of the Sultanate’s real estate industry.
In the last three decades Al Habib has built homes, purpose-built offices, offered consultancy services, managed properties for private and government bodies and most importantly grown with the country, supporting His Majesty’s Sultan Qaboos bin Said vision of creating a diversified and sustainable economy.
Today Al-Habib is one of the leading real estate companies in the Sultanate with over 1200 staff. Through its five professional divisions, Al Habib provides a full range of real estate services including: finding suitable land, providing consultancy, offering a valuation service, managing property rentals, undertaking property construction, as well as handling the buying and selling of real estate. In addition the company can also provide large scale electrical and civil contracting, civil engineering projects, building refurbishments and interior decoration.

Most recently Al Habib has developed a number of landmark buildings in Oman including the Ernst & Young Commercial Centre, City Residence Apartments, Centre Point in Muscat and in Salalah, and the Sanitary and Drainage offices in Salalah amongst others. Current projects include the four-star Park Inn Hotel and residential developments such as the Lavender Apartments and Canary Villas as well as 40, 000m2 mixed commercial and residential block for the Ministry of Defence pension fund.

.

On reaching thirty years in real estate Mr Habib commented: “I believe that to ensure long term success teamwork, hard work, tenacity and professionalism is key. Through our values of empowerment, accountability, trust and excellence in all of our activities we have achieved a reputation that befits our experience in the market place. By investing in our staff through innovative HR, training and communication activities we are making a commitment to our clients, ensuring that no matter how small or big, they will receive the best possible service. As a result of this dedication to our clients and team, our future will hopefully see continued success and growth.
“Corporate Social responsibility is also at the heart of our activities. By donating to the six charities here this evening, I am recognizing the important role business plays in continuing to support and develop the cultural, economic and social prosperity of our wonderful country.”

Al Habib is celebrating being honored with ‘Superbrand’ status and will be presented with the award in a ‘Superbrands’ tribute event scheduled for late January 2010.

In Oman, Superbrands shortlisted 743 brands from over 3,000 brands being sold. These were then rated by a well qualified independent and voluntary Superbrands Council through a demanding and meticulous evaluation process according to the specific program criteria that ‘a Superbrand offers consumers significant emotional and/or physical advantages over its competitors which consumers want and recognize’. Of these 743 shortlisted brands, only 17 were deemed ‘superbrands’ by the panel.
Hayyan Al Lawati, Director of Al Habib commented: “I speak for everyone at Al Habib when I say how proud I am of this Superbrands award. We have worked hard to build a quality brand that consumers can trust and return to again and again, and it means a lot to us that our hard work has been recognized by such an esteemed programme as Superbrands. The award only serves to motivate us to maintain our excellent level of service to customers even further.”
The influential Superbrands programme was established in 1994 is now the world's leading by invitation only brand promotional platform. Currently running in 84 countries, Oman was evaluated for the first time this year. Al Habib were selected as a Superbrand following a detailed decision process by the local brand council; a panel of prominent marketing experts in the Sultanate.
Explaining the concept and the role of Superbrands status, Bikram Sehgal, Brand Liaison Director, Superbrands said: “A brand’s strength lies in its equity and its relationship with its consumers. Hence the Superbrands status is of paramount importance because it is a sign of your recognition with the consumers. I commend Al Habib for all its efforts over the years which has helped it emerge as a Superbrand. Needless to say, this recognition speaks volumes about its current equity with its consumers and its ongoing success in this dynamic market.”
Established in 1978, Al Habib recently celebrated their 30th anniversary. The company covers all aspects of the real estate market, providing a full range of real estate services including land acquisition, rental management, property construction, the buying and selling of real estate as well as consultancy and valuation services.
