Rui Liu, the founder and CEO of LEOS International, sat down with the Smashi Business Show<\/a> to discuss his journey in luxury real estate development and the future of the industry. LEOS International, a leading developer with a strong presence in the UK and UAE, has grown rapidly over the past 11 years, with seven successful projects in the UAE alone. Liu, a UK-qualified architect, highlighted his vision to bridge the gap between real estate capital and design, noting that his love for quality design drives the company’s mission to redefine luxury.<\/div>\n

Liu reflected on key milestones, such as the first major project in East London in 2015 and the Weybridge Gardens development in the UK<\/h2>\n

These projects, along with their later ventures in the UAE, incorporated innovative design systems to create mixed-use developments that balance luxury with community needs. Liu emphasized that true luxury living goes beyond fancy products; it’s about creating spaces that enhance people\u2019s lifestyles through design and technology. The $7 billion investment fund announced by LEOS International aims to focus on community-oriented developments and cutting-edge real estate tech, including AI labs for cross-border collaborations.<\/p>\n

When asked about the role of design in real estate, Liu noted the importance of precision in turning blueprints into reality. He believes that each project should be treated as a journey, constantly evolving and adapting to market trends. He also acknowledged the growing demand for aesthetically pleasing, “Instagrammable” homes, but emphasized that true luxury is more about functional, well-designed spaces that resonate with residents\u2019 needs and lifestyles.<\/p>\n

Looking forward, LEOS International is set to launch multiple projects in Dubai and other Emirates, with a focus on mixed-use developments that integrate urbanization and tech. Liu\u2019s commitment to challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries of architectural design continues to define the company’s success.<\/p>\n
