Edge Holding Developments, also presented as Edge Holding – Urban Development, is a privately held Egyptian urban and real estate developer founded in 2018, according to the company’s official LinkedIn profile. The company is headquartered in Cairo, at El Moltaqua El Araby Street off El Mousheer Ahmed Ismail Street in Sheraton.
Edge Holding became visible in the Egyptian market through New Administrative Capital projects, especially OIA Compound in the R7 district and OIA Towers or Sofitel OIA Towers in Downtown. Market and press material describe the company as the result of an Egyptian-Saudi partnership combining Egyptian real estate development experience with Saudi infrastructure expertise. No verified public total is available for delivered units, so DeedGate does not record a delivered-units number for this developer profile.
Founding and Growth of Edge Holding
Edge Holding – Urban Development was founded in 2018. The company’s official LinkedIn profile lists it as a privately held real estate company with 51 to 200 employees and specialties in real estate development and urban development. The profile also highlights a focus on clear vision, market research, and robust planning to serve tomorrow’s homeowners and investors.
Several real estate market profiles describe Edge Holding as a partnership between Al Borouj Misr and Al Mashariq Saudi. This background helps explain the company’s focus on real estate investment and infrastructure-driven urban development in the New Administrative Capital, which was emerging as a major destination for residential, commercial, and administrative projects.
Within a few years, Edge Holding concentrated on the New Administrative Capital rather than expanding across many regions at once. Its presence began with the OIA residential project in R7, then extended into Downtown mixed-use towers, led by OIA Towers and Sofitel OIA Towers.
