Egypt's New Administrative Capital (NAC), located 45 kilometers from Cairo, has emerged as a transformative real estate project with significant investment potential. As the country seeks to address the challenges of overpopulation, traffic congestion, and housing shortages in Cairo, the NAC aims to become a modern hub for government offices, embassies, and international investors.
Old Cairo grapples with overcrowding, traffic jams, and pollution, prompting the Egyptian government to envision a new capital capable of accommodating 6.5–7 million residents, primarily civil servants and diplomats.
- The NAC already houses prominent structures like the world's largest Orthodox church and the second-largest mosque in Egypt.
- The Octagon, the new headquarters of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, stands as one of the largest complexes in the Middle East.
- Ongoing projects include Green River Park, a major stadium, an international airport, and iconic skyscrapers like the Iconic Tower and Oblisco Capitale.
- Smart Infrastructure: The NAC is designed as a "smart" metropolis with an electric monorail railway connecting it to Cairo.
- Expansive Facilities: The city will boast artificial lakes, educational institutions, technology parks, hospitals, mosques, churches, hotels, and a theme park rivaling Disneyland.
- Tall Structures: Iconic Tower, the tallest building in Africa, and Oblisco Capitale, the world's tallest skyscraper, are among the architectural highlights.
- The NAC has garnered substantial interest from international investors, with substantial investments from the UAE and other sources.
- By 2022, the total investment volume exceeded 1 trillion Egyptian pounds (approximately $32.4 billion).
- In Q2 2023, the NAC represented 25% of total investment in Egypt, with $68.5 million invested in 97 projects.
- Average apartment prices in New Cairo were around 17.2 thousand Egyptian pounds per sq. m., while villas were priced at 20.4 thousand Egyptian pounds.
- Modern buildings dominate the market, often sold directly by developers with various payment options, including interest-free installments for up to ten years.
Commercial Properties: Commercial properties are particularly attractive to investors, with many offering fixed returns ranging from 15% to 22% per annum. Developers are also offering investor-friendly terms such as interest-free installments and contracts in both Arabic and Russian.
As the NAC continues to take shape, it presents a unique opportunity for investors seeking a stake in Egypt's ambitious urban development project. The city's strategic location, modern infrastructure, and diverse facilities contribute to its appeal among local and international buyers alike.
