About Forum Group

Forum Group is an international full-service real estate developer founded in 2008 by Oleg Cherepanov and headquartered in Yekaterinburg, Russia, on the border of Europe and Asia. The group entered the Dubai real estate market in 2015 and has since established itself as a prominent player in the UAE’s ultra-luxury segment. With over 20 years of combined real estate experience, the company has accumulated, developed, and operated international projects covering nearly half a million square metres of prime land, with a property portfolio valued in excess of €400 million across Russia and the UAE.

The developer is renowned for delivering ultra-luxury residential and mixed-use commercial projects that combine Mediterranean-inspired architecture with world-class interiors and bespoke amenities. Its signature Dubai development is XXII Carat Villas, an exclusive gated community of 22 beachfront villas and two penthouses on Palm Jumeirah, valued at AED 1.3 billion and completed in 2017. Its latest UAE project is FH Residency, a 24-storey tower offering 293 residences in the established Jumeirah Village Triangle community.

In addition, the developer has built distinguished communities on Palm Jumeirah and in Jumeirah Village Triangle, offering private beach access, clubhouses, smart home systems, and designer interiors crafted by Italian and French luxury brands. Forum Group has also received several prestigious awards for its developments, including the “Urban Residential Real Estate” category at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards in 2013 and the “Developer of the Year” title at the Urban Awards in 2018. These recognitions further strengthen its reputation as a globally recognised developer of elite residential and commercial real estate.
