Metropolis Malta on Saturday announed the appointment of Advocate Jean Paul Sammut as Chief Operating Officer for the Metropolis Towers Project. Having successfully read a Doctorate in Law at the University of Malta, Advocate Jean Paul Sammut has occupied several management positions with leading companies in Malta, the company said in a statement.

One of the most prominent legacies of Jean Paul Sammut is the time he was engaged by the Polidano Group. The experience he gained there was invaluable and he was also able to continue nurturing his expertise in the construction industry whilst managing the Group’s Legal Department.

As Managing Partner and Founder of Sammut Advocates and Consultants, Sammut has managed to lead the firm from a start-up to one of the most prominent boutique law firms in Malta. Sammut is involved with a number of stakeholders, and thus he is considered an influential member and consultant for a vast number of companies both locally and internationally. Being a lawyer by profession, he is also practising in the Courts of Malta, in the criminal, commercial and civil fields.

The Metropolis project was initiated earlier in March and is set to be an avant-garde mixed-use architectural project which will be an easily distinguished landmark with its prominent Towers. Metropolis is set to be one of Malta’s most exceptional property developments and a landmark in the heart of Gzira, the company said. The site selected for this development sits squarely between Malta’s more popular business districts, minutes away from Sliema & St. Julians, Ta’ Xbiex, and Valletta. The site is also well connected to the main road network hub of this part of the island.

The project will provide residents and corporate employees some of the most spectacular views in Malta which includes Malta’s fortified capital, Valletta, the yacht marina at Ta’ Xbiex, the inlet known as Sliema ‘creek’ and the historically significant Manoel Island.

Speaking about this appointment, Dr Sammut said, ”I am excited to take on this role for one of the largest upcoming real-estate projects in the country. As Metropolis Malta, we are eager to complete this project and provide the area with the economic boost it deserves. At the same time, we look forward to coordinating with all stakeholders, including residents, businessmen, local authorities, NGOs and more.”

During his tenure as Chief Operating Officer, Sammut will continue serving his previous responsibilities at Sammut Advocates and Consultants.
