Mountain View

In 1989, a small architectural and design consultancy named Dar Al Mimar Group (DMG) laid its roots in Egypt. What began as a modest firm quickly evolved into something much greater. By 2005, it had transformed into what we now know as Mountain View—a name that has since become synonymous with innovation and excellence in real estate. Fast forward to 2024, and the company proudly celebrated 35 years of shaping the Egyptian landscape.

More Than a Developer: An Integrated Ecosystem

Mountain View isn't your average real estate company. Originally established as a contracting and engineering business, it now operates as a deeply integrated group that spans real estate, hospitality, and engineering. This unique vertical structure allows its various branches to work in harmony—from concept and design, to construction, to final delivery and property management. It's a model that ensures quality and cohesion every step of the way.

What sets Mountain View apart isn’t just the buildings—it’s the people. With over 1,500 professionals and administrative experts, the company operates as a tight-knit ecosystem, where each project is a true collaboration.

A Philosophy of Happiness and Purpose

Mountain View’s success is rooted in its deeply held values and a visionary approach to development. The company’s mission goes beyond constructing buildings—it’s about building happy communities.

Their philosophy is simple yet profound: People come before property. The goal is to create environments that bring joy, encourage connection, and promote well-being. They’re not just selling homes—they’re crafting lifestyles designed to spark happiness and belonging.

From the iconic blue and white facades to the signature red mailboxes and community benches, every detail in a Mountain View project speaks to their commitment to identity, continuity, and human-centered design.

Built on a Legacy of Excellence

Mountain View’s journey began with just five employees under the Dar Al Mimar banner. By 1993, the company expanded to include architectural design and contracting services. In 2005, Mountain View officially launched, combining the talents of its subsidiaries—Curve, Idrak, and others—to form a real estate powerhouse.

Today, Mountain View has projects across Egypt’s most vibrant regions:

• Ras El Hekma

• Mostakbal City

• 6th of October

• New Cairo

• Sidi Abdel Rahman

• Ain Sokhna

The Visionary Behind the Brand: Amr Soliman

Engineer Amr Soliman, the Founder and Chairman, is one of the most influential figures in Egypt’s real estate sector. His career began in 1989, focused on architecture and design. But when contractors couldn't meet his design expectations, he took matters into his own hands, launching his own contracting firm to ensure quality from blueprint to brick.

In 2005, he founded Mountain View to bring his holistic vision to life—where engineering excellence, urban planning, and community happiness intersect. He’s also known for partnerships with global firms like CallisonRTKL and Delivering Happiness, reinforcing his commitment to people-centric development.

Soliman is also a committed philanthropist, contributing to organizations such as the Egyptian Food Bank and Terous Foundation, and plays an active role in shaping future talent through programs like AUC's Real Estate Academy.
