Special Group, Mint Real Estate launch '40 Square' residential project in New Capital
Special Group for Trade and Investment, in partnership with Mint Real Estate Asset Management, has announced the launch of 40 Square, a new residential development located in the New Administrative Capital (NAC). The announcement follows a strategic agreement signed in March, under which Mint will manage all of Special Group's real estate assets, beginning with this flagship project. Situated in the Residential Investors District, 40 Square spans more than 40 feddans and enjoys a prime location near the Green River Park, the government district, and key infrastructure. The project is designed to offer smart residential units, extensive open spaces, and integrated services, with a strong focus on long-term livability and functionality. It will include approximately 1,477 residential units, with the first phase slated for completion in 2026. Total investments are projected to exceed EGP 7 billion. This development marks Special Group's debut in real estate, building on its established expertise in construction, infrastructure, and service delivery. The move reflects the company's broader strategy to shift toward long-term value creation across its asset portfolio. 'Diversification has always been central to how we grow,' said Mohamed Asaad, Chairperson of Special Group. 'Our experience spans construction, healthcare, and industrial services. Entering real estate development is a natural extension of that strategy. But it's not just about building—it requires structure, planning, and long-term thinking. That's why we partnered with Mint, to bring expertise and discipline to every stage of the process.' Tamer Erfan, Chairperson of Mint Real Estate Asset Management, said: 'This partnership aligns perfectly with our vision of delivering projects that provide real, sustainable investment value—particularly in today's challenging market. 40 Square is more than a development; it's a chance to reshape real estate investment into a long-term, stable model, backed by intelligent planning and effective execution. That's the qualitative difference Mint brings to the table.' Mint will lead the commercial direction of the project, overseeing strategic planning, marketing, CRM, and sales. Their role will be critical in ensuring 40 Square not only launches successfully but is positioned for sustained performance. 'Today's real estate market isn't driven by supply alone—it's shaped by selectivity, affordability, and strategic positioning,' said Alia El Nagdy, CEO of Mint Real Estate Asset Management. '40 Square enters the market at a moment of both opportunity and constraint. Our goal is to align the project with how people want to live, invest, and grow. We're not just reacting to the market—we're anticipating it.' El Nagdy noted that while the NAC continues to attract long-term investment, the broader real estate sector faces growing pressures from inflation, cost volatility, and shifting consumer demand. Projects that endure, she emphasized, will be those rooted in solid fundamentals and guided by clear operational models—principles that define 40 Square. The launch of 40 Square sets a strategic tone for both companies' visions of the future of real estate development: one grounded in disciplined execution, operational clarity, and long-term value creation. As Special Group expands its footprint in the sector, and Mint continues to redefine real estate asset management in Egypt, their collaboration offers a model for sustainable, performance-driven development.

Putin Offers Cooperation with US Partners on Rare-earth Minerals (Video)
Taarek Refaat Russian President Vladimir Putin hinted at offering the United States a rare earths deal after Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky failed to reach an agreement on their supposed deal following a heated exchange between the two at the White House. In a video circulating on social media, Putin was seen saying that Russia would be 'open to cooperation' with its American partners, including private companies, according to Mint. 'We will be open to cooperation with our American partners, and when I say 'partners' I mean not only administrative and government agencies, but also private companies if they show interest in working together,' he said. Vladimir Putin offered a deal with America on rare-earth minerals, stating that they have far more than Ukraine. Thoughts? — Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) March 1, 2025 The Russian president noted that his country has 'much higher' rare and rare earths resources than Ukraine. 'Russia has much higher resources of this type (rare earths) than Ukraine,' he said. 'Russia is one of the undisputed leaders when it comes to rare and very rare earths reserves.' 'We have deposits in the north, in Murmansk, in the Caucasus, in Kabardino-Balkaria, as well as in the Far East, in the Irkutsk region, in Yakutia and Tuva,' Putin added. However, the development of these resources requires large amounts of capital investment and Russia is ready to cooperate with American and other foreign partners in the same matter. 'The same applies to new territories. We are open to foreign partnerships. These territories that have become part of the Russian Federation also hold certain reserves. We are ready to work with our partners, including the Americans.' US President Donald Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky have been embroiled in a row over the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump exploded with anger at Zelensky on Friday, angrily ejecting the Ukrainian leader from the White House after he said he was not ready to make peace with Russia. As a result, Zelensky left without a mineral deal that had been portrayed as a significant step toward a US-brokered truce. Instead of what might have been a deal toward peace, an ugly clash erupted in the Oval Office as Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance called on the Ukrainian leader to express gratitude for U.S. assistance in the three-year war. After Zelensky left the Oval Office, Trump posted on social media that he 'can return when he is ready for peace.' The metals deal was not signed and the joint news conference was canceled.
