Living Yards Developments was founded in 2018 and began its real estate activity with The Loft in Egypt’s New Administrative Capital. The company is headquartered at 67 South 90th Street, New Cairo, and its portfolio is concentrated in the New Capital and Fifth Settlement. As of June 2026, the official website displays seven residential, commercial, administrative, medical, and mixed-use developments.
Living Yards is backed by two shareholder groups: AM Group, led by the Al Marzouk family, and the Egyptian Swiss Group, or EgySwiss. Eng. Ayman Marzouk is Chairman, Mohab El-Tabie is CEO, and Dr. Abdullah Lotfy was identified as Managing Director in 2026. The website displays 2,000 units as a portfolio figure but does not identify them as delivered units. No verified public total is therefore available for delivered units.
Living Yards’ Foundation and Growth
Living Yards Developments launched in 2018, supported by the commercial and financial experience of its founding shareholders. AM Group was established in 1990 and operates across consumer and investment sectors, while EgySwiss was founded in 1995 and built a presence in food production and flour trading. This background provided the real estate company with an investment base that management says relies on shareholder contributions and self-funding.
The company started with The Loft and introduced a “Design Your Space” concept intended to give owners greater flexibility over internal layouts and finishing. Living Yards then expanded from residential development in the New Administrative Capital into commercial and mixed-use projects before entering New Cairo.
- 2018: The Loft was launched in the New Administrative Capital.
- 2019: Loft Capital Center, or LCC, was introduced.
- 2020-2021: Loft Downtown and The Loft Plaza joined the portfolio.
- 2022-2024: expansion into New Cairo through Noir and Solay.
- 2026: Living Yards added the Lynks mixed-use development.
Shareholders and Management
Living Yards’ shareholder base includes AM Group and EgySwiss, two business groups with decades of activity outside property development. Eng. Ayman Marzouk serves as Chairman, while Mohab El-Tabie leads the executive team as CEO, drawing on experience in finance, investment, asset management, and real estate. Dr. Abdullah Lotfy is identified as Managing Director in official materials published in 2026.
The management structure combines shareholder liquidity with specialised property operations. In a company interview published in 2025, Living Yards said its projects were funded through internal resources and direct shareholder contributions rather than bank borrowing. It has also formed operating and design partnerships, including Decipher Egypt at Noir and Lemon Spaces for Maison S within Solay.

Vision and Development Specialties
Living Yards’ philosophy combines design with purpose, treating each project as an interconnected residential or investment experience rather than a collection of separate buildings. The company uses the term “practical luxury” for design and services intended to create daily functional value.

- Commercial, administrative, and medical projects: malls, offices, clinics, and service space in the New Capital and New Cairo.
- Mixed-use destinations: business, retail, cultural, and service components within one plan, as demonstrated by Lynks.

The stated vision is to create future-ready, human-centred communities that combine sustainability, functionality, belonging, and long-term value for residents and investors.
