ARQA Development Group is an Egyptian real estate developer founded in 2019. The company works across commercial, administrative, medical, mixed-use, and residential developments, with a visible footprint in the New Administrative Capital through I Business Park Towers and later expansion into 6th of October and New Zayed through ANNEX 26 and RITZ New Zayed.
ARQA’s market positioning is shaped by commercial mall experience in New Cairo and by a leadership team connected to both Egyptian retail assets and regional contracting experience. As of the June 2026 review, no verified public total is available for delivered units, so DeedGate records the company’s founding year and project data while leaving delivered units blank.
ARQA Development Group History
ARQA Development Group was founded in 2019, while some of its board experience goes back further through New Cairo commercial assets. The official ARQA website lists Eng. Mahrous Al-Zainy as part of the board and owner of Al-Zaini malls in New Cairo, which have been established and operating since 2005. It also lists Eng. Mohammed Al-Bakri, chairman of Emaar Contracting Company in Kuwait, and Eng. Ahmed Al-Zainy, who has experience supervising and managing commercial malls in New Cairo.
Nawy identifies Eng. Mahrous El Zainy as ARQA’s chairman and owner, and Ahmed Al Zainy as CEO since September 2020. This mix of local mall operation and regional contracting background helps explain why ARQA entered the market with commercial and mixed-use projects before expanding into premium residential development in New Zayed.
ARQA Development Group Projects
I Business Park Towers is the company’s best-known project in the New Administrative Capital. According to ARQA’s official project page, it is located in Downtown over Bin Zayed Axis, close to Masa Mall, the Iconic Tower, Medical City, Opera, and Expo City. The development includes three mixed-use towers, each consisting of 20 floors, with commercial, administrative, and medical units.
ARQA’s portfolio also includes ANNEX 26 in 6th of October City. The official page describes it as a landmark mixed-use business complex along the 26th of July Axis, directly in front of West Somid. The project covers 14,000 square meters and is designed for commercial, administrative, and medical demand in a high-visibility location near Sheikh Zayed and major road networks.
In New Zayed, ARQA presents RITZ New Zayed as a signature residential development on Al Dabaa Axis. The official page states that Ritz Residence spans 16 acres and offers high-end apartments with greenery, flowing water, a commercial mall, clubhouse, medical services, security, a nursery, EV charging stations, kids area, and a mosque.
ARQA’s previous projects page also lists ARQA Mall, Mall 238, and Mall 94 in New Cairo. On DeedGate, the company is linked to I Business Park New Capital and Aviary Park New Capital. Aviary Park is covered in the market as a phase or extension connected to the I Business Park development, offering commercial, administrative, medical, and hanging restaurant units in Downtown New Capital.
Facts and Figures

| Official current projects | I Business Park Towers, ANNEX 26, RITZ New Zayed |
| Official previous projects | ARQA Mall, Mall 238, Mall 94 |

These figures show a developer focused on a selected number of high-location assets rather than a broad mass-market spread. The earlier New Cairo malls support the company’s commercial operating background, but they do not provide a verified delivered-unit figure, so DeedGate does not record a delivered-units count for ARQA.
Vision and Specialization
ARQA’s stated positioning is built around classiness, smart technology, and investment value. The company’s project choices reflect that message: Downtown New Capital for I Business Park, the 26th of July Axis for ANNEX 26, and Al Dabaa Axis in New Zayed for RITZ. These locations are selected for visibility, accessibility, and long-term operating demand.
The company specializes in three main directions: commercial, administrative, and medical assets; mixed-use business complexes; and premium residential communities. This makes ARQA relevant to investors looking for operating units in strategic business zones, as well as buyers seeking serviced residential projects in West Cairo.
Latest Developments
ARQA’s official news page shows active communication throughout 2025. In August 2025, the company published I Business Park construction updates and announced a technology partnership with Vodafone Egypt under a smart-buildings theme. The same news page also featured repeated updates about RITZ New Zayed and ANNEX 26 during the second and third quarters of 2025.
In October 2025, ARQA’s news page referred to a Gulf tour covering Abu Dhabi, Jeddah, and Riyadh, with Doha presented as the next stop. This points to an effort to reach regional buyers and investors, particularly for projects in the New Administrative Capital and New Zayed.
