The Architect Behind GEM Corporate
Jean Gemayel is a Lebanese architect and the CEO of GEM Corporate, where he leads an integrated practice spanning design, construction, renovation, and civil specialty engineering.
Jean leads GEM Corporate, the integrated practice formed from the merger of GEM Enterprise (est. 1972) — a general construction company with five decades of institutional building experience, founded by his uncle — and GEM Design (est. 2005), an architectural design and luxury finishing firm.
Under his leadership, GEM Corporate has delivered projects across Lebanon, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, and Nigeria. The portfolio includes Rosary Schools (Lebanon, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait), five-star hospitality fit-outs (Habtoor Hotel, Hard Rock Café), and civil specialty work on the New Doha International Airport, Pearl Qatar, and Lusail.
Jean's conviction: the firms that design buildings should also know how to build them. One team, one accountability, one result.
