Mohamed Hadid Real Estate

Mohamed Hadid ventured into real estate with his profits from the nightclub he opened on an island. In the 1980s he got most of his financial aid from the SAAR Foundation, a Herndon-based foundation with Saudi roots. He faced at least 30 lawsuits from creditors and banks in the late 1980s claiming he had not fulfilled various financial obligations.

Hadid converted a Houston hotel into a Ritz-Carlton Hotel and developed a Ritz-Carlton resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. He outplayed Donald Trump and paid $42.9 million for several choice parcels in Aspen and then he announced plans for a 292-room Ritz resort.

Hadid lost his McLean home to foreclosure in 1992. This is after a settlement was reached in a lawsuit by Riggs Bank against Columbia First Bank Chairman Melvin Lenkin. Lenkin was a Hadid partner in a Washington, D.C., construction project that involved a loan on which Hadid defaulted.

Mohamed Hadid Bell Air

In 2010 Hadid developed Le Belvedere, a mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles which sold for $50 million. He developed The Crescent Palace, a 48,000-square-foot home on an acre plot next door to the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2012 which listed for sale at $58 million.

Hadid earned the approval for the construction of a mansion in Bel Air but it was opposed by the Bel Air Homeowners Alliance, chaired by Fred Rosen. Nancy Walton Laurie, an heiress to the Walmart fortune and a Bel Air resident filed a lawsuit through her company, LW Partnership, against Hadid in January 2015. She accused Hadid of damaging the roots of a eucalyptus tree on her property with a retaining wall he built next to her house.

The Los Angeles city council voted in December 2015 to pursue criminal charges over a claim that Hadid violated local zoning laws. He was accused of building his house contrary to multiple planning orders and made it twice the permitted size.

In July 2017 he was sentenced to 200 hours of community service and was summoned to return $14,191 to the City of Los Angeles in damages, and fined $3,000. He was also given a three-year probation period to ensure the property would comply with existing regulations, or he would face a 180-day jail sentence. This was after he had pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges stemming from mansion-construction issues for which he did not receive city approval in May 2017.
