What we do

We are Leaders in Master Planning and Community Design

We are not daunted by scale, type of community, or geography. We have designed projects on plots ranging from 0.2 million to 10 million square meters, tailoring solutions to a wide range of physical conditions, from completely flat to highly sloping terrains. Our fully integrated solutions encompass master planning, infrastructure, transportation, and waste management.

We have collaborated with municipalities, public development authorities, national governments, and regional real estate developers, delivering residential, mixed-use, and hospitality master plans, particularly in Lebanon, KSA, UAE, Jordan, and Morocco.

We Help Cities Solve their Infrastructure Challenges

We deliver a comprehensive approach that balances environmental impact and economic feasibility while implementing cutting-edge technologies for energy efficiency and seamless operation. With successful infrastructure and transportation projects across Lebanon, KSA, the UAE, and Jordan, our expertise ranges from tactical facilities in small communities to large-scale district cooling solutions.

We work closely with our clients to build lasting operational capabilities that meet immediate needs while advancing long-term sustainability goals.

We Are a Trusted Partner for Large-Scale Real Estate Developers

Our expertise spans all types of property assets, including residential, retail, commercial, mixed-use, and hospitality developments. We have collaborated with developers across diverse geographies and regulatory environments, bringing a nuanced understanding to each project.

Through strategic partnerships, we add significant value to the development journey—from pre-design services and facility management to long-established relationships with renowned international architects, enhancing both product positioning and market visibility.

We Design Projects That Catalyze Economic Development

Laceco’s inception was closely tied to the postwar economic recovery in Lebanon, a context that shaped our expertise in designing facilities that foster both human and economic development.

As a result, we developed strong capabilities in creating environments that enable communities to thrive, specializing in the design and execution of higher education facilities and having delivered projects ranging from individual facilities to fully serviced university campuses. Our work has supported the expansion of public education into some of the country's most remote regions.

We Bring Design to the Forefront

Laceco has contributed to a number of recognized projects that have been featured in international publications and exhibitions, underscoring the firm’s ongoing engagement with architectural discourse and innovation across the MENA region. In Jordan, Laceco was closely involved in the urban regeneration of Amman through the master planning of a new central district and its extension.

This comprehensive plan integrates infrastructure systems with transportation, utilities, and sustainable urban services to support long-term urban resilience. Key components of the development include a high-rise tower that serves as a visual anchor within the city’s skyline, a pedestrian-oriented retail and commercial corridor designed to encourage public interaction, and the Central Abdali Mall, recipient of the 2016 International Cityscape Award for Best Retail Project, recognized for its contribution to the urban fabric.

Our Workflows are Fully BIM Integrated

As an architecture and engineering consultancy, we leverage cutting-edge 3D modeling and computational design tools to optimize building performance, enhance spatial planning, and deliver sustainable solutions that respond to our clients needs. By utilizing cloud-based collaboration platforms, we ensure real-time coordination and information sharing across all engineering disciplines and architectural teams, streamlining project delivery and enhancing accuracy at every stage.

This holistic methodology strengthens decision-making, improves efficiency, and enables the seamless execution of complex, multidisciplinary projects from initial concept through construction administration and facility management.
