Hava Compound New Capital is a low-density residential compound that Qurtuba Developments built on 21 acres inside the R8 district of the New Administrative Capital, directly on the Central Axis. The compound breaks the norm of the surrounding R8 projects by placing only four apartments on each floor, where competing compounds usually stack six to eight units per floor. This single design decision gives every home in the compound at least two open facades onto the lagoon and the greenery instead of a view of the neighbours, and it caps the number of direct neighbours per family.

Qurtuba Developments prices the entry unit at EGP 1,970,475 and opens booking with a 2.5% down payment, the lowest reservation rate currently offered across R8, with the balance stretched over 14 years. The compound targets buyers who want genuine privacy in a central location, alongside investors chasing rentable studios and small apartments in a district where the price per meter has climbed steadily since 2022. Prices below were updated in January 2026.

Where is the compound located?

Hava Compound New Capital sits in the R8 residential district of the New Administrative Capital, fronting the Central Axis directly. R8 ranks among the most tightly planned residential districts in the capital, holds the highest concentration of upscale residential projects, and is subdivided into medium-sized plots with low building ratios. That zoning is why projects such as Difaf and New Garden City cluster there beside the compound. The Central Axis runs through the heart of the capital and links R8 to the Government District, the Downtown area, and the Diplomatic District, so residents move between home, workplaces, and services within minutes rather than exiting onto external highways.

The address also sits close to the capital’s headline landmarks and its transport backbone. The Green River, the linear park running through the city, lies minutes from the gate, the Iconic Tower stands within a short drive, and the planned monorail station brings a mass-transit link to Greater Cairo within reach. R8 neighbours the R7 district, another premium residential zone, so the surrounding fabric stays residential and low-rise rather than commercial. For a buyer, the practical read is that the project pairs a central position with quick access to work, schooling, healthcare, and worship without depending on the capital’s outer ring roads.

Geographic entities around the compound

The location places several of the capital’s anchor destinations within a short drive, which matters for both daily living and resale demand. Each of the entities below qualifies the address with a concrete reference point rather than a vague promise of a prime spot.

Diplomatic District and the embassies zone: a few minutes away, which lends the compound the quiet, secured character of embassy neighbourhoods.
European University and Canadian University: a short reach from the project gate, a decisive factor for families with university-age children.
The Medical City: very close to the compound, covering advanced healthcare needs.
The Cathedral and Al-Fattah Al-Aleem Mosque: both within a few minutes’ drive of the project.
Difaf Compound and New Garden City: neighbouring residential projects in the same high price tier, forming a coherent upscale context around the compound.

Area and urban design of the compound

The compound spans 21 acres, and Qurtuba Developments held the building footprint to a band of 15% to 19% of the total plot. The remaining 81% to 85% is given over to an artificial lagoon, landscaped greenery, walkways, and recreational services. That green share sits among the highest in R8, where most competing projects keep greenery below 75% of the plot. The generous open space is the mechanism behind the compound’s core selling point: room to place buildings far apart and orient them toward water and gardens.

The developer treated the four-apartments-per-floor layout as the central design choice rather than a marketing line. Fewer units per floor cuts the number of direct neighbours per family, removes cross-viewing between apartments, and lets each home open at least two facades onto the greenery or the lagoon. The architecture leans on low-rise buildings with open sightlines, a deliberate departure from the high-rise towers that dominate much of the capital. Buyers therefore trade tower density for a garden-style setting inside a central district.

Unit types and sizes

The compound offers a spread from compact studios to pool-equipped duplexes, so the buyer profile ranges from single professionals to full families. The table below lists each unit type with its size band and signature view.

Unit type	Size (m²)	Signature view
Studio	45 to 67	Landscape / greenery
2-bedroom apartment	130	Open landscape
3-bedroom apartment	from 150	Lagoon / greenery
Duplex with private pool	240 to 300	Direct lagoon

The studios target two segments at once: the investor after a unit rentable on short and medium terms inside the capital, and the individual buyer working in the district’s government bodies or companies. The 130 m² two-bedroom is the size most in demand in R8 among small families, and it doubles as a long-term rental asset. The three-bedroom from 150 m² suits medium-sized families seeking a permanent residence with a lagoon or garden outlook. The duplex with a private pool, at 240 to 300 m², is the top tier of the compound and targets families who want the villa experience without the commitments of a standalone villa.

Hava Compound New Capital prices in 2026

The price per meter for an apartment in the compound starts at EGP 21,600 and reaches around EGP 29,000, depending on the payment plan, the unit, and its position inside the compound. The gap between the floor and the ceiling reflects the view (landscape versus direct lagoon), the floor level, and the installment period chosen, since a longer plan carries a higher per-meter figure. All prices were updated in January 2026.

Current starting prices per unit type, on the approved installment system, are set out below. Each figure is a launch-phase entry price that rises with every new sales phase, per Qurtuba Developments’ announced policy.

Unit type	Starting price (EGP)	Best fit
Studio	1,970,475	Individual investor after a rentable R8 asset
2-bedroom (130 m²)	3,913,000	Personal use plus easy resale
3-bedroom (from 150 m²)	4,434,375	Families wanting a long-term lagoon-view home
Duplex with private pool (240 to 300 m²)	8,500,000	The top tier inside the compound

These prices shift with the floor and the view, and they climb periodically with each new sales release. A studio priced from EGP 1,970,475 keeps the cash entry low, which is what makes the compound accessible to first-time investors, while the pool duplex from EGP 8,500,000 anchors the premium end. The spread lets a single compound serve buyers with budgets that differ by a factor of more than four.

Payment and installment plan

Qurtuba Developments offers a long-term installment system on the compound’s units that opens with a 2.5% down payment of the unit value at reservation and runs for 14 years of regular monthly installments. This ranks among the longest installment terms in the New Administrative Capital market, where the average competing plan runs between 8 and 12 years. The combination of a small down payment and a long horizon is the compound’s financial signature.

Reservation costs and deposits

Reservation seriousness deposit: a fixed EGP 50,000 on all units, deducted from the total unit value when the contract is signed.
Maintenance deposit: 10% of the unit value, paid to the maintenance company to keep services and facilities running over the long term.
Garage fee: EGP 150,000 for a dedicated underground parking space assigned to the unit.
Booking down payment: 2.5% of the unit price on signing the preliminary contract.

The 2.5% down payment remains the lowest across R8 compounds, where most competing projects start their down payment at 5% and sometimes reach 10%. Lowering that entry barrier widens the pool of buyers who can commit, and it is the lever that makes the compound appealing to buyers planning to resell before handover.

Amenities and services in the compound

Qurtuba Developments covered the recreational and service area densely relative to the project’s size, distributing facilities across integrated categories so residents rarely need to leave the compound for daily needs. The amenities group into leisure, commercial, security, and infrastructure functions.

Artificial lagoon: the project’s principal design element, wrapping most buildings, feeding direct water views to a large share of units, and acting as the compound’s main visual anchor.
Clubhouse: houses a modern gym, a spa, and indoor restaurants and cafes for residents.
Green spaces and landscape: cover the largest part of the total area and separate the residential buildings from one another.
Kids’ play areas: fully secured and spread across several points so the walk from any unit stays short.
Promenade and bike lanes: connect the project’s facilities and encourage a daily healthy routine.
Internal commercial area: cafes, restaurants, and shops covering residents’ everyday requirements.
Security systems: operating around the clock with surveillance cameras, security gates, and guards positioned at entry and exit points.
Underground garages: replacing the usual surface parking, which frees the outdoor space for greenery and pedestrian walkways.

Qurtuba Developments, the developer behind the compound

Qurtuba Developments is the developer of the project. The company is a rising player in the Egyptian real estate market, founded in 2019 under chairman Eng. Mohamed Omar, and it entered the market with varied projects across the New Administrative Capital and New Mansoura before launching Hava as its first integrated residential project of this scale in R8. Its earlier work concentrated on commercial and administrative buildings, which shapes how buyers should read its track record.

Previous Qurtuba Developments projects

Nzl Tower, New Administrative Capital: a commercial and administrative project inside the capital, reflecting the company’s direct experience developing units in the new city.
Mall One Business Center, New Mansoura: a commercial and administrative project in New Mansoura that widened the company’s geographic footprint.
De Business Compound, New Mansoura: a mixed-use project combining administrative and commercial space in the same city.

The company’s record in commercial and administrative work serves the residential project through experience in mixed-use planning, yet the compound marks its first strong entry into the upscale residential segment inside the capital. Buyers weighing the project should treat the developer as competent in the capital’s construction environment while noting that this is its debut at this residential scale, which is a fair risk factor to price in. Qurtuba Developments works across more than one growth axis in Egypt, with a footprint spanning the New Administrative Capital and the East Delta cities of New Mansoura and New Damietta, which spreads its delivery experience beyond a single market.

Finishing and delivery

The finishing type and the handover year are not stated on the project’s source page, so this page does not assert a specific finishing standard or delivery date for the units. Both details sit with the developer’s sales team and shift by unit type and sales phase. A buyer comparing plans should confirm the finishing level and the scheduled handover in writing before signing, since the installment horizon of up to 14 years runs well past the construction period and the two timelines should be read together.

Investment analysis of the compound

The compound blends factors that lower investment risk with factors that support medium-term value growth. R8 has seen a continuous rise in the price per meter since 2022, driven by the concentration of premium projects and the proximity to the Government District, and every unit in the project benefits from that district-wide trend. The location, in other words, does part of the appreciation work on the buyer’s behalf.

The 14-year plan with a 2.5% down payment reduces the cash required up front and raises the unit’s appeal as an asset that can be resold before handover. The limited unit count inside the compound, produced by the four-apartments-per-floor system, caps the supply within the project itself, and constrained supply is a factor that supports the resale price of any single unit. Scarcity here is engineered by the masterplan rather than claimed in marketing copy.

On rental return, studios in R8 achieve an average annual yield between 7% and 9% on comparable units, especially on short-term leases to staff of government bodies and companies. The pool duplexes sit in a different investment class, aimed at long-term sale rather than leasing. Matching the unit to the strategy therefore matters: the studio is the yield play, the duplex is the capital-appreciation play.

Set against the typical R8 competitor, the compound differs on four measurable terms at once. Its down payment starts at 2.5% where rivals begin at 5% and reach 10%, its installment runs to 14 years where the district average sits between 8 and 12, its layout places four apartments per floor where competing buildings hold six to eight, and its greenery covers 81% to 85% of the plot where most nearby projects keep it below 75%. Each of these is a stated attribute of the project rather than a marketing claim, and together they explain why the compound reads as a lower-density, lower-entry option within the same premium district. A buyer can use these four numbers as a direct checklist when comparing it to the neighbouring compounds on the Central Axis.

The compound suits several buyer profiles clearly, and it is worth naming who it does not suit:

The end user seeking a quiet, low-density home in a central capital location.
The investor who prefers a studio or two-bedroom apartment to lease in R8 after handover.
The trader planning to resell the unit before handover while benefiting from the low down payment.
It does not suit a buyer who needs immediate handover, one who wants fully finished ready units, or one who needs areas larger than 300 m².

A concrete way to read the pricing is against the plan structure itself. The per-meter figure moves from EGP 21,600 on the shortest plan to EGP 29,000 on the 14-year plan, so a buyer who can pay faster secures a materially lower meter rate, while a buyer who needs the long horizon pays a premium for the extended terms. The starting spread across unit types, from EGP 1,970,475 for a studio to EGP 8,500,000 for a pool duplex, means the same address serves a first-time buyer and a family upgrader at once. For resale, the scarcity built into the four-per-floor layout works alongside the district’s rising meter price, so the two forces point in the same direction over a medium hold. None of this removes the standard off-plan risks, which is why the finishing level and handover date should be confirmed before committing.

This analysis is guidance only and is not investment advice.
