Dr. Saman Majdi, Founder and CEO of Dashad Construction, has played an important role in the development of the construction sector in North Cyprus. Having lived in North Cyprus for more than two decades and holding official citizenship, he has actively contributed to improving construction quality and professional standards.
Before founding Dashad, Dr. Majdi had an extensive academic and consulting career in economics, serving as a university lecturer and advisor. His academic background includes teaching at Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU), EMU College, and Necat British College in North Cyprus, as well as Queen’s University Ontario Kingston in Canada. Many of today’s property and banking executives in North Cyprus were once his students.
Dr. Majdi’s roots in the construction field go back to his family’s long-standing experience in the industry, which began in Iran and expanded through various regional projects. This strong foundation, coupled with his academic knowledge, has shaped his unique professional and analytical approach to real estate development.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience in North Cyprus, Dr. Majdi began his entrepreneurial journey with the launch of Golden Life Residence in Famagusta — a distinctive project that drew attention for its premium imported materials, innovative design, and superior construction quality, selling out in a short time. Following its success, Dashad introduced other landmark developments such as Richmond Park, featuring luxurious villas and modern apartments near the Mediterranean coast, further solidifying the company’s reputation in the market.
The new generation of Dashad projects, including Selaron Residence and LaMer, continues this legacy with a focus on modern design, precision engineering, and enduring quality — attracting both residents and investors. Looking ahead, the company’s ambitious Kaplıca Coastal Town development, spanning 120,000 square meters with a private beach and marina, represents Dashad’s long-term vision for integrated, sustainable living spaces in North Cyprus.
Combining academic insight in economics, international teaching experience, family expertise in construction, and years of practical leadership, Dr. Majdi has built Dashad into a model of an academic-driven, performance-oriented private enterprise. Today, Dashad stands as a trusted benchmark for investors and market analysts seeking quality, integrity, and growth in the North Cyprus property sector.
