Key points

  • Arabian Development plans to expand its property investments across Egypt.
  • The firm's strategy focuses on technology and sustainability in its projects.
  • Egypt's real estate sector is booming due to national projects and demand.

Arabian Development has announced an ambitious expansion plan in Egypt, targeting new projects east and west of Cairo as well as major coastal cities. The company said the strategy is designed to broaden its investment portfolio and reinforce its role in the country’s rapidly growing property sector.

Chairman Eng. Marzouk Mansour highlighted the firm’s flagship project, Rivan, in the R7 district of the New Administrative Capital. The development includes residential units, duplexes, and hotel apartments under the global Swiss-Bel brand, alongside Rivan Square, a mixed-use hub combining retail, office, and medical space.

Mansour stressed that technology and sustainability are now at the core of the company’s future direction. Plans include smart facility management systems, energy-saving technologies, and advanced digital services, which he described as “a fundamental prerequisite for success in today’s market.”

He added that Egypt’s real estate sector has entered an unprecedented phase, driven by mega national projects such as the New Administrative Capital, which has positioned the country as a regional hub for investment and large-scale urban development.

Mansour said demand for property in Egypt remains robust and sustainable, backed by rapid population growth and the perception of real estate as a secure, long-term asset. This “reality-based demand,” he argued, shields the sector from speculation and supports steady growth.

He also emphasised the critical role of the private sector in complementing government-led infrastructure and new city projects. “It is up to developers to add value through modern design, smart services, and timely delivery—factors that build consumer trust,” he said.

According to Mansour, Egypt’s geographic location, large domestic market, and recent legislative reforms continue to make it one of the region’s most attractive destinations for both Arab and international investors.

Looking ahead, Arabian Development expects momentum to remain strong in the New Administrative Capital and New Alamein, while emerging cities such as East Port Said and New Mansoura are set to become new growth hubs. Mansour concluded that the company’s goal is to rank among Egypt’s top three developers by delivering projects defined by innovation and sustainability.
