Solidere
Solidere s.a.l. is a Lebanese joint-stock company in charge of planning and redeveloping Beirut Central District following the conclusion, in 1990, of the country’s devastating civil war. By agreement with the government, Solidere enjoys special powers of eminent domain as well as a limited regulatory authority codified in law, making the company a unique form of public-private partnership.
Solidere was founded on 5 May 1994 by then-Prime Minister Rafik Hariri and was incorporated as a privately owned company listed on the stock exchange. The name “Solidere” stands for Société libanaise pour le développement et la reconstruction de Beyrouth, French for “The Lebanese Company for the Development and Reconstruction of Beirut.”

Solidere's main functions are the supervision of the government-authorized reconstruction plan, financing and developing the infrastructure, new construction and rehabilitation of war-torn structures, urban landscaping and the management of property. Solidere has worked to attract global retailers such as Virgin Megastores to Beirut Central District.

Other projects that are central to the company's cultural strategy for the center are the Beirut Exhibition Center, add Saifi Village - Quartier des Arts, a residential neighborhood with a high density of design shops and art galleries.

by: CelladorWe're all off to meet our maker
And I know we won't go far
If there's a chance at life, it's not in sight
When you watch the world go dark
When you take a chance and you throw it up
If you watch to see where it falls
Even in the end it'll always end up small
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
Head up high into the sky
Just take a chance and try to fly
Leave it all and we will never fall
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Look real hard into yourself and see if you can find
That burning light thats shining bright inside us all tonight
A wasted day to a wasted month to a wasted life you'll find
That without a dream you might as well be blind
Don't be left unsatisfied
Someday each of us will die
No turning back to see what's dead and gone
A challenge beard is a challenge shared
Just face your fear now, don't be scared
Hold your ground, no fate can hold us down
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
So ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
Never hold back against a dream you wanted long
Keep on movin' on...
Each and all of us have time in their life
A self-realization that with all regret turns to light
So dont waste your time, just free your mind
Beyond this you can't look behind
Move on forth to a place above it all
No blessed truth can give you say
You alone decide the way
Hear the path from inside of your heart
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
No journey's too great and no chances are lost
So ride on together til sunrise again
We ride on forever til the very end
We ride on together no matter the cost
