IWAN Developments History
IWAN Developments was founded in 2004 as an Egyptian real estate development shareholding company. Its stated vision is to develop homes in well-connected, livable communities that offer meaningful human experiences. The name “IWAN” itself refers to a place of gathering, a concept that the company uses as a central idea for building communities rather than isolated residential units.
The company’s market journey began with Jeera in 2007 in Sheikh Zayed, introducing IWAN’s “Feel-Good Neighborhoods” concept. In 2008, IWAN launched Jewar, a modern apartment community in Sheikh Zayed on 12 feddans with 224 apartments, according to the company’s history page. This was followed by Jubail in 2010, then a broader expansion in 2015 through Jedar, Atrio and Alma.
In 2018, the company introduced The Axis, followed by Majada in Ain Sokhna in 2019. Majada marked IWAN’s expansion from West Cairo residential compounds into a coastal wellness destination.
