Robert Haroun

A licensed mechanical engineer with a passion for homebuilding, Robert founded SIR Development in 1993. SIR Development is a ground up Real Estate Development Company that determines the best use of a property – residential luxury homes, commercial development or multifamily use. Since its inception, the company has built over 250 exceptional homes in Fairfield County, establishing itself as a leader in high-quality premier residential construction. SIR also has built luxury multifamily rentals and developed several commercial multi use buildings including the Old Westport Town Hall that houses two exceptional Westport Restaurants

In addition to his engineering background, Robert graduated from New York Law School in 1989 and is a founding partner of Sofer & Haroun LLP, an intellectual property law firm based in Manhattan. His dual expertise in engineering and law uniquely positions him to navigate the complexities of real estate development while delivering innovative solutions to his buyers/tenants.

As a resident of Westport for over 30 years, Robert is deeply committed to giving back to his community. He served as chair of the building committee for the $20 million Westport Library transformation project, contributing countless hours to its successful completion. Additionally, he chaired the property management committee for the Westport YMCA renovation project. Robert’s dedication to community engagement and his local roots reinforce his understanding that homeowners value having a builder who is not only a real estate expert but also a committed neighbor.
Under Robert’s leadership, SIR Development continues to set the standard for excellence in homebuilding, blending innovative design with a strong commitment to quality and community.
