Compound LifeWise New Cairo gives exactly half of its 28.23 feddans to homes and the other half to shops, offices and clinics, which is an unusual ratio for a Fifth Settlement address. EONS Developments, the Egyptian arm of a Swedish group with more than 35 years of development experience, built its first Egyptian project around that balance instead of around a low-density residential brief. Apartments start at EGP 4,672,000 for an 84 m² one-bedroom unit, with 5% down and monthly instalments running up to 10 years. Prices were updated in 2026.

That split is why the project reads differently from the large residential compounds along the same stretch of road. The commercial side is not a service strip bolted onto the edge of a gated community. It carries a 14 feddan mall with Suez Road frontage, a dedicated medical zone, and an internal retail lane, which places daily footfall inside the same gate as the apartments. Buyers chasing silence and a large private garden will read that as a cost. Buyers who want a lower entry ticket into New Cairo, or a commercial unit facing an active road, read it as the point.

How EONS divided the 28.23 feddans

The masterplan covers 28.23 feddans, equivalent to 118,560 m², which puts the site in the compact tier of New Cairo developments rather than the 300 to 500 feddan tier that shapes the district’s reputation. EONS Developments cut the land into two equal halves, 50% residential and 50% commercial, administrative and medical. That ratio follows European mixed-block practice far more closely than the low-density residential model that dominates the Fifth Settlement.

Three named components make up the non-residential side. LifeWise Business Hub, the retail and office mall, occupies 14 feddans on the Suez Road frontage, which works out to 49.6% of the entire site. LifeWise Clinics forms a dedicated medical zone with its own pricing and its own payment track. An internal retail lane of restaurants, cafés and everyday services completes the mix and serves residents directly. The mall alone accounts for almost the whole commercial half by area, so the clinics and the retail lane are best read as components sitting within that footprint rather than as extra land on top of it.

The consequence shows up in the price list. A compact plot with a revenue-generating frontage lets a developer price residential space below what low-density neighbours charge, because the land cost is carried by streams a purely residential masterplan never earns. The same structure explains why the compound offers no villas, twin houses or townhouses. Every home here is an apartment, and the tallest value claim the project makes is convenience rather than seclusion.

Apartment sizes and prices at Compound LifeWise New Cairo

The residential release runs from a one-bedroom unit of 84 m² up to a four-bedroom unit of 230 m², with a separate ground-floor category that adds a private garden. The ladder is built for singles, newly married couples and growing families in the same buildings, which keeps the resident profile mixed rather than concentrated in one life stage.

Unit type	Bedrooms	Area (m²)	Price (EGP)
Apartment	1	84 to 85	4,672,000 to 5,345,000
Apartment	2	104 to 115	5,816,000 to 7,077,000
Apartment	3	135 to 200	8,165,000 to 11,954,000
Apartment	4	230	14,887,856
Ground floor with garden	Varies	84 to 230, plus a 28 to 127 garden	6,269,376 to 17,345,234

Dividing each row by its own interior area tells a more useful story than any single headline rate. One-bedroom units compute to between EGP 55,619 and EGP 62,882 per m². Two-bedroom units land between EGP 55,923 and EGP 61,539 per m². Three-bedroom units work out to EGP 59,770 and EGP 60,481 per m², which does not clear the two-bedroom ceiling, so the rate per metre does not climb steadily as units grow.

The four-bedroom apartment is the most expensive apartment per metre at EGP 64,730, and it is the only row that breaks the pattern in the expected direction. All of these rates are derived from the published price table rather than quoted as a separate developer figure, so treat them as an arithmetic reading of the list and confirm the applicable rate on the unit you shortlist. The useful takeaway for a buyer comparing floors is simple. Within the apartment range the cost per metre moves inside a band of roughly EGP 55,600 to EGP 64,700, and choosing a larger unit does not reliably buy a better rate.

Ground-floor units with private gardens

The ground-floor category offers interiors from 84 m² to 230 m² with a private garden of 28 m² to 127 m² attached to each unit, priced from EGP 6,269,376 to EGP 17,345,234. These prices cover two areas at once, so a per-metre figure taken on interior space alone reads high at roughly EGP 74,600 to EGP 75,400 and misdescribes what the buyer receives. The category targets families who want the villa advantages of outdoor space and a street-level entrance at an apartment budget, and supply in a compact masterplan is naturally capped by the number of ground floors the project contains.

What is the monthly instalment on the entry apartment?

Compound LifeWise New Cairo asks 5% down on its entry apartment, which is EGP 233,600 against the EGP 4,672,000 price. Spreading the remaining EGP 4,438,400 across 120 monthly instalments produces roughly EGP 36,990 a month before any cash discount is applied. That figure is what makes the compound reachable for salaried dual-income households rather than cash buyers alone.

The four payment tracks

Apartments: 5% down payment, with the balance spread over monthly instalments running up to 10 years.
Cash discount: up to 15% for buyers who pay a larger down payment or choose a shorter settlement schedule.
Retail and office units in the mall: 10% down payment, with instalments running up to 10 years.
Clinics: 5% down payment, a further 5% after three months, then the balance over 8 years in equal instalments, plus a maintenance deposit of 10% of the unit value.

Read across the four tracks, the residential plan is the most forgiving and the medical plan the most demanding, which matches the risk each buyer takes. A homebuyer commits 5% to secure a unit. A doctor commits 10% inside three months and finishes two years sooner, on a unit that also needs a fit-out budget before it earns anything.

LifeWise Business Hub and its 14 feddans of frontage

LifeWise Business Hub sits inside the project on the Suez Road face and spreads across 14 feddans, an allocation close to half the entire compound. Very few New Cairo compounds of this size hand that much land to retail and offices, and the decision signals that EONS treats the commercial component as a value driver rather than a resident amenity.

Total area: 14 feddans dedicated entirely to the mall.
Unit categories: retail shops, administrative offices, and food and beverage spaces.
Unit sizes: from 34 m².
Ceiling heights: 6 metres in retail units and 4 metres in offices, both above the local norm, which allows an internal mezzanine or a raised fit-out.
Starting price: from EGP 4,080,000.
Payment: 10% down payment with instalments up to 10 years.

The building specification is quoted at Class A level and includes a building management system, central air conditioning, backup generators, CCTV coverage and underground parking. That package matters for leasing rather than for resale, because mid-market and upper-mid-market companies screening office space in the Fifth Settlement now expect those services as a baseline. Demand on that side of the district has been supported by firms relocating away from Downtown Cairo and Nasr City.

The 6 metre retail ceiling deserves a second look from anyone pricing a shop. A mezzanine inserted into that height can add usable floor area without adding purchase price, which changes the effective rate per metre on a 34 m² footprint more than most buyers expect.

LifeWise Clinics and the medical unit track

The medical component arrives as a separate release with its own price book. Clinics start at 46 m² and are handed over Core and Shell, leaving the doctor to design and finish the space. The rate runs from EGP 95,000 to EGP 150,000 per m², which sits well above both the apartment band and the mall’s entry pricing.

Minimum area: 46 m².
Price per metre: EGP 95,000 to EGP 150,000.
Handover specification: Core and Shell, structure and envelope only.
Maintenance deposit: 10% of the unit value.
Payment: 5% down, 5% after three months, then 8 years of equal instalments.

Core and Shell is the standard choice for medical projects because specialties diverge sharply on fit-out. A dental clinic needs compressed air, suction lines and specific drainage. A dermatology room needs none of that, and a radiology suite needs lead shielding that no residential-grade slab anticipates. Handing over a bare shell keeps the construction budget out of the purchase price and spares the buyer a demolition round before opening.

The premium over residential rates is the cost of a different income profile. Clinics in serviced medical clusters command higher annual rent per metre than apartments or small shops, which is what justifies paying more than double the apartment rate for the same square metre of concrete.

Suez Road frontage and travel times

The compound fronts Suez Road directly inside the Fifth Settlement, at the point where East Cairo hands off to the New Administrative Capital and to Cairo International Airport through the fast-road network. Al Rehab City sits two minutes away, and every major node in Greater East Cairo falls inside a fifteen-minute radius.

Destination	Approximate drive
Al Rehab City	2 minutes
Madinaty	8 minutes
El Shorouk City	8 minutes
Cairo International Airport	10 minutes
Nasr City and Heliopolis	13 minutes
New Administrative Capital	15 minutes

Two established New Cairo projects share the immediate neighbourhood. Avira Residence New Cairo, developed by Brouq Developments on the American University axis, and To-Gther New Cairo by Golden View Developments both serve a comparable buyer bracket. Sitting inside a cluster of projects that draw the same income profile tends to steady resale pricing, because the surrounding stock does not undercut the tier.

The ten-minute airport figure opens two demand layers most New Cairo compounds cannot claim. Frequent flyers, meaning business travellers, airline crew and expatriates who return to Egypt on a cycle, treat that number as a practical filter. Short-let tenants booking through rental platforms respond to the same proximity. The fifteen-minute run to the New Administrative Capital adds a third layer, namely staff whose offices relocated to the Government District but who prefer to keep living in Cairo.

Amenities inside the residential half

Business district: administrative offices and service centres held inside the gates.
Internal retail lane: shops, restaurants and cafés covering daily needs without leaving the compound.
Open green areas: walking, running and cycling routes threaded through the landscape.
Social club: leisure and sports facilities reserved for residents.
Swimming pools: multiple pools, separated between adults and children.
Gym: a full fitness floor with current equipment.
Children’s play areas: zoned by age group.
Medical centres and pharmacies: in addition to the specialised LifeWise Clinics zone.
Security: 24 hour guarding with CCTV and controlled access points.
Covered parking: allocated across both the residential and commercial units.
Facility management: scheduled maintenance and cleaning for common areas and façades.

EONS Developments and the first-project question

EONS Developments carries Swedish roots and more than 35 years of experience in the Swedish market, led by a team with a European property background. The company entered Egypt recently, and this compound is its opening move here. The profile is therefore a veteran operator making a debut in an unfamiliar market, which is a different risk shape from either an untested startup or an established Egyptian name.

That Scandinavian background shows in several design choices. The brief favours functional planning over decorative display, allocates an unusually high share of land to mixed commercial use in a pattern common to European cities rather than Gulf-influenced compounds, and specifies building services above the local average through the ceiling heights, central air conditioning and building management system.

The counterweight is straightforward and should be priced in. EONS has no completed handover in Egypt to point to, and property development is intensely local. Permitting, contractor management, supply chains and construction finance behave differently in Cairo than in Stockholm, and a long record in one market does not transfer mechanically to another. Buyers who weigh delivery certainty heavily should treat that gap as the project’s main open variable.

Who the project suits, and who it does not

Four stated facts carry the investment reading: a Suez Road position within reach of both the airport and the New Administrative Capital, an even 50/50 residential and commercial split, apartment rates computing to roughly EGP 55,600 to EGP 64,700 per m², and a 5% entry with a decade of instalments behind it.

Residential investors: an 84 m² apartment opens with EGP 233,600 and feeds a rental market supported by airport and New Capital access. Comparable Fifth Settlement units in this specification rent in the range of EGP 18,000 to EGP 25,000 per month, which computes to a gross annual yield of roughly 4.6% to 6.4% against the entry price.
Retail investors: a 34 m² shop inside a 14 feddan mall with main-road frontage, entered at 10% down. Commercial demand on this stretch tracks the population filling the neighbouring compounds.
Doctors buying to practise: a 46 m² clinic at EGP 95,000 to EGP 150,000 per m² in an emerging medical node. Al Rehab, Madinaty and the surrounding compounds supply a dense daily catchment within minutes.
The principal risk: no prior delivery record for EONS Developments in Egypt, despite its long Swedish history. The two markets diverge on legal, execution and logistics practice.

The best fit is a buyer seeking an apartment to live in or to let in the EGP 5 million to EGP 15 million bracket, alongside retail investors and doctors who want a Suez Road address at a lower entry point than a standalone mall demands. The worst fit is a buyer set on a standalone villa with a large garden, or on low density, since half this masterplan is commercial by design and the compound builds no villas at all.

The figures and readings above are for guidance only and are not investment advice. Property prices, payment terms and rental yields move, so verify current numbers with the developer before committing to a purchase.

The short version

Compound LifeWise New Cairo is a 28.23 feddan mixed-use project on Suez Road that splits its land evenly between apartments and a commercial half anchored by a 14 feddan mall and a dedicated clinics zone. Apartments open at EGP 4,672,000 on 5% down with ten years of instalments, and every home is an apartment rather than a villa. It is the first Egyptian project by EONS Developments.
