Since its foundation by Philippe Ziade, Growth Holdings has accumulated over sixty companies spanning both industries and continents. The holding company shapes and sustains Ziade’s panoramic vision to accomplish of a leap in sustainability propelled by next-generation technology. Ziade builds success on exploring synergies and exploiting the scale and efficiency that follow in their wake.
Growth Holdings has multiplied its revenues many times over and enjoyed near-exponential growth across its entire business line. The company’s active global portfolio of projects and investments now tops 3$ billion.
The holding company sprang out of the real estate and constructions sectors which powered its remarkable ascendancy and allowed for progressive expansion and diversification. Currently, Growth Holdings operates across multiple industries with dedicated divisions in fields such as:
REAL ESTATE
construction
hospitality
renewable energy
technologie
education
The unifying theme that binds Growth Holdings divisions together in an entity of singular value and efficiency is a devotion not just to excellence – which is a given – but to pragmatic innovation. Growth Holdings pushes the envelope for a clear reason: To solve practical and conceptual problems and to deliver solutions that are simple to grasp, easy to apply, and leverage the latest technology for the best results.
By exploring, exploiting, and extrapolating the synergies between its constituent parts, and by keeping its corporate focus trained on the bottom line, Growth Holdings has consistently generated solid returns far above industry benchmarks. Due to its unique structure, composition, and approach to investing, the company has been largely impervious to overall market conditions, consistently sustaining its growth trajectory by recognizing value and detecting potential early on, seizing the day – and the opportunities it brings.
This significant competitive advantage – sourced from the triad of knowledge, synergy, and vision – generates a flow of tactical opportunities across Growth Holdings’ alternative asset management businesses, including private equity, real estate, credit, and hedge funds.
Thanks to a corporate structure that prioritizes agility and nimbleness, Growth Holdings is able to continuously update its strategies to respond to the ever-shifting dynamics of the market and unearth exceptional value by deploying a precise blend of financial, time, management, and operational resources.

At Growth Holdings, there is an overlap between hospitality and technology. As is the common denominator of all Growth Holdings companies, the goal is to make technology holistic and intuitive – as in self-learning. This objective has been attained with the intelligent custom homes, conceived, developed, and built by Growth Luxury Homes in partnership with Tesla. The same technology, and philosophy, is now being applied to the hospitality sector via the Otonomus brand of concept hotels.
Otonomus hotels seek to take the sting, stress, and discomfort out of the guest experience. Here the comforts and conveniences of home are seamlessly matched to the hotel which uses behind-the-scenes automation to personalize any overnight stay to the most minute of details. Preferences of guests are stored, adjusted, and reused to shape an environment that is not just soothing and welcoming, but precisely tailored to exceed the expectations of individual or group travelers.
Otonomus hotels can be configured and reconfigured automatically with minimal employee effort. All aspects of the facility from front desk to back office are managed by a comprehensive software platform (see technology section below).
The Otonomus concept is being applied to brand new hotels being built by Growth Holdings and is available to select franchisees. Otonomus seeks to bridge the gap between hotel stays and home-sharing by deploying state-of-the-art technology.

Growth Holdings founder Philippe Ziade is the initiator of Invest to Stay, a project set up in close cooperation with the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants. The program seeks to encourage the Lebanese diaspora – conservatively estimated at some eight to ten million people worldwide – to invest in the ‘old country’ and offer its young people an opportunity to secure their future.

At the tech hub, students may follow a curriculum that dovetails with the needs of industry. This ensures that young people gain a skill set that enables them to start a promising career.
