Additionally, the project seamlessly blends international quality with local standards, remarked Dr Mohamed Selim, the Chairman of Al Mirage Developments after signing the deal with Alessandro Redaelli, Vice President at Hilton Worldwide. A mixed-use development, it comprises commercial, administrative, and hospitality properties. It includes two floors of retail space, several floors of office units, and a hospitality section with two hotels managed by Hilton Worldwide: Hilton Tower and Hilton Downtown, said the top official. Partnering with a global brand like Hilton adds exceptional value to the Hilton Tower project and Hilton Hotel, enriching the real estate offerings in the New Administrative Capital, he stated. Al Mirage, he said, was keen to begin construction works at an early stage following the project's launch, reflecting its genuine commitment to its clients and underscoring the company's seriousness and reliability.

He revealed that the company has successfully sold out the first two phases of the Hilton Tower project in record time, highlighting the appeal of the innovative and fully integrated development to its target customers. The project offers a range of competitive advantages, most notably its prime location at the heart of the New Administrative Capital's tourist tower district, in addition to its distinctive architectural design and high-end technical specifications. Dr Selim said the third phase of the project, which will include exclusive advantages for clients, will soon be launched. The entire project will be completed and handed over within the next three years.- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2024 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

How Egypt's Capital is Becoming the Epicenter of Real Estate Transformation in the Region
You're reading Entrepreneur Middle East, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. Cairo has always been a city of contrasts—ancient yet dynamic, chaotic yet captivating. But as we step into 2025, the Egyptian capital is no longer just a cradle of history; it's fast becoming one of the Middle East and North Africa's most exciting real estate frontiers. Fuelled by record-breaking investments, ambitious national strategies, and a population craving modern urban living, Cairo's property market is in the midst of a sweeping transformation. From sprawling gated communities and luxury towers to mixed-use smart cities, the skyline of this ancient metropolis is evolving at an unprecedented pace. THE NEW CAPITAL AND THE RISE OF GREATER CAIRO At the heart of Cairo's development story is the New Administrative Capital (NAC)—the Egyptian government's flagship project located 45 kilometers east of the current city. Envisioned as a solution to Cairo's congestion and infrastructure challenges, the NAC is set to house ministries, embassies, financial districts, residential zones, and green spaces. Its goal? To redefine Egypt's urban future. Spanning over 700 square kilometers, the New Capital is expected to accommodate over 6 million people, featuring the Iconic Tower, now the tallest building in Africa, a presidential palace, and a central park twice the size of New York's Central Park. According to Egypt's Ministry of Housing, over 500,000 residential units are already under construction across the NAC's first phase. Demand for properties remains robust, especially among Egypt's growing middle and upper-middle classes, Gulf-based Egyptian expatriates, and regional investors. KEY DEVELOPMENTS TO WATCH The New Administrative Capital (NAC) Major developers including City Edge Developments, Talaat Moustafa Group (TMG), and Misr Italia Properties have launched signature projects in the capital, such as: > Al Maqsad by City Edge > Il Bosco by Misr Italia > Capital Gardens by Palm Hills Developments These projects feature smart infrastructure, solar energy systems, and lifestyle amenities such as sports clubs, education hubs, and green corridors. Residential unit prices here range from EGP 1.7 million to over EGP 12 million, depending on size, location, and finish level. Sheikh Zayed & West Cairo Expansion West Cairo remains a favorite for affluent families seeking privacy, security, and spacious living. Sheikh Zayed City, 6th of October City, and the SODIC-led ZED project have all seen a surge in demand in 2025. The ZED Towers, in partnership with Ora Developers, have become a benchmark in luxury high-rise living. Fully sold out Phase 1 units appreciated over 25% in value within two years of launch. Palm Hills' Badya, Egypt's first "smart city", is another game-changer. Spanning 3,000 acres, it's powered by AI-driven traffic systems, energy-efficient buildings, and a digital backbone designed for tech-savvy youth. East Cairo & New Cairo East Cairo continues to thrive thanks to its proximity to business hubs and international schools. New Cairo is experiencing renewed momentum with: > Mivida by Emaar Misr > Katameya Dunes > Fifth Square by Al Marasem Emaar's Cairo Gate, located on the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, is blending luxury villas, green parks, and premium retail experiences. In 2025, the average price of luxury apartments in New Cairo has crossed EGP 45,000 per square meter, while villa prices in compounds like Mivida and Palm Hills are approaching EGP 20 million and above. Mixed-Use Mega Projects One of the standout trends in Cairo's real estate is the surge in mixed-use, live-work-play developments. Developments like ONE NINETY by LMD, Uptown Cairo by Emaar, and Cairo Festival City by Al-Futtaim offer residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail spaces within integrated ecosystems. These developments are drawing in both corporate tenants and lifestyle-focused residents who prefer minimal commute and maximum convenience. MARKET PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT TRENDS According to data from Colliers International and local brokerage sources: > Cairo's residential real estate prices grew 12.4% year- on-year in 2024, outperforming regional markets like Casablanca and Amman. > Average rental yields in new compounds range from 6.5% to 8.2%, depending on the zone and asset type. > Sales activity has surged by over 30% since 2023, led by rising demand from young professionals, urban migrants, and returning expats. Several developers have begun offering long-term payment plans, stretching from 8 to 12 years, a move that has opened the market to new segments of first- time buyers. Several developers have begun offering long-term payment plans, stretching from 8 to 12 years, a move that has opened the market to new segments of first- time buyers. WHO'S BUYING? Local demand continues to dominate the market. Cairo's population now exceeds 22 million, and rising affluence among Egypt's young, upwardly mobile demographic is fueling real estate sales. But the city is also seeing increasing interest from: > Egyptian expatriates working in the Gulf, Europe, and the US, drawn by the Golden License investment perks and digital registration systems. > Gulf investors seeking medium-term rental income and portfolio diversification. > Institutional investors eyeing large-scale acquisitions of commercial, hospitality, and residential assets in the NAC. REGULATORY AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT Government reforms have played a crucial role in unlocking the market's potential: > Digital property registration and e-title deed issuance are increasing transparency. > Major infrastructure projects like the Cairo Monorail, Metro Line 4, and ring road expansions are boosting accessibility. > The Golden License initiative is attracting real estate FDI by offering streamlined procedures and land allocation. CHALLENGES AHEAD Despite the momentum, challenges remain: > Inflation and fluctuating currency rates have impacted construction costs. > Developers face pressure to differentiate in a crowded premium market. > Affordable housing demand still far outweighs supply in central zones. However, the government's public-private partnership (PPP) push and the upcoming Central Bank Mortgage Finance program are expected to balance supply-side gaps by 2026. WHAT'S NEXT? With the New Capital moving into its second phase and landmark launches like the Iconic Tower completion, Cairo is set to enter a new era of urban planning and luxury living. Projects like Azailya by New Plan Developments, Entrada by Sorouh Developments, and Compound Vinci are poised to deliver thousands of units between 2025 and 2027. Simultaneously, the rise of co-living, branded residences, and digital nomad- targeted developments shows Cairo's adaptability to global trends. Cairo is rewriting its real estate narrative. 2025 marks not just a boom year, but a maturing phase for a market that once relied on volume but now focuses on value. For investors, the message is clear: the Egyptian capital offers strong fundamentals, future-proof planning, and a market that's increasingly transparent and globally relevant. Whether you're chasing ROI or a front-row seat to one of the region's most exciting urban transformations, Cairo is more than ready — and rising fast.
