Running any business is fraught with challenges. However, when you are developing some of the most exclusive, luxury mixed-use developments in diverse parts of the world, obstacles are inevitable. With a portfolio of prestigious projects in Grenada, Greece, Cyprus, Egypt and Pakistan and an upcoming development in the UAE, ORA Developers is adept at navigating any risks in order to continue the company mission of delivering exclusive high-end projects. In its day-to-day operations, ORA faces obstacles such as political insecurity in some of the countries they operate in as well as financial risks like inflation and fluctuating foreign currency. However, its business leaders – Naguib Sawiris, Chairman and CEO of ORA Developers, and his management team – are proficient at dealing with any challenge by being agile and adaptable when faced with the unexpected. Challenges for ORA can arise from the outset of any project. From the very conception of a proposal, ORA conducts in-depth research to understand both the market it is in as well as the target customer in order to avoid any misstep. As a professional business, it has to abide by country rules through its building permits, approvals, and relevant No Objection Certificates. However, with all the paperwork in place, instability remains a reality when there is a change in government or authorities. Then there is the challenge of finding expert staff who can maintain ORA’s stringent quality prerequisites. After successfully developing high-end properties in various parts of the world, ORA has learnt to deal with such situations and work around them.
