Pierre Galea Elected MDA Acting General Secretary

In the heart of Malta’s bustling capital, Valletta, the Malta Developers Association (MDA) has turned a new page. Pierre Galea, a seasoned industry professional, has been elected as the association’s acting general secretary, a move that promises fresh perspectives and renewed energy.

Galea, who has been a familiar face in the local property scene, was elected unanimously by the MDA’s council members. The election, held at the association’s headquarters in the historic city of Mdina, signals a shift in leadership that could shape the future of Malta’s real estate scene.

Galea’s journey in the property sector spans over two decades. From his early days as a developer to his current role as a director at Tumas Group, he has worn many hats. But it’s his advocacy work that has truly set him apart. As the former president of the Real Estate Agents’ Association of Malta (REAA), Galea has consistently championed industry reforms and professionalism.

“I’ve always believed in giving back to the industry that has given me so much,” Galea said in an exclusive interview. “This new role at MDA is an opportunity to do just that, on a larger scale.”

Galea’s election comes at a critical juncture for Malta’s property sector. The industry is grappling with challenges like affordability, sustainability, and regulatory hurdles. Galea sees his new role as a chance to address these issues head-on.

“My vision is to make MDA a driving force for positive change,” he said. “We need to work closely with policymakers, developers, and other stakeholders to ensure our sector is sustainable, innovative, and beneficial to all Maltese.”

Galea also plans to us MDA’s influence to promote professionalism and ethical practices within the industry. “We need to raise the bar,” he said. “That means encouraging continuous learning, adhering to high ethical standards, and fostering a culture of collaboration.”
