Moraya Compound New Capital is a fully finished residential compound developed by EDGESTONE Real Estate Development on Plot L10 inside the Eighth Residential District (R8) of the New Administrative Capital. What separates this project from the larger schemes around it is its urban equation on a compact footprint: EDGESTONE dedicated 80% of the 5-acre plot to green space and landscape and confined the buildings to the remaining 20%, which pushed roughly 90% of the units onto direct landscape views. That low density on a small parcel means a limited number of neighbours and a natural scarcity in the offering, while the plot’s position beside the Green River and the Diplomatic District places the compound in one of the Capital’s most prestigious pockets.

The offering is deliberately narrow. Moraya lists apartments only, no villas and no standalone commercial units, with sizes from 154 m² and a single clear payment structure of 10% down and the balance over six years. Prices were updated in 2026 and start at EGP 7,565,000 for a three-bedroom apartment, with handover scheduled for 2028 and construction already at roughly 40% completion. This combination targets a buyer who wants a ready-to-live, fully finished unit with a green outlook in a government-and-embassy district, rather than an off-plan shell or an immediate handover.

The urban design behind Moraya Compound New Capital

The masterplan rests on one idea: extract the most visual value from a small parcel. The total area spans 5 acres, of which residential buildings occupy just 20%, while landscape and green space stretch across the other 80%. That distribution lifts the share of units with a direct landscape view to about 90%, a ratio that larger compounds in R8 struggle to match because a bigger built area forces a higher building footprint. The result inside Moraya is a low-rise, low-density environment where the greenery is the dominant service wrapping every cluster of units rather than a strip at the perimeter.

EDGESTONE assigned the construction works to Engineer Mohamed Abdelghani and has already moved the project onto the ground, reaching a construction-completion rate of about 40%. For a buyer weighing an under-construction unit, that visible progress is a concrete signal of the developer’s seriousness, and it separates Moraya from projects in the district that remain on paper. The equation of a compact 5-acre plot, a 20% footprint, and 90% landscape views is the project’s core selling point, and it recurs across pricing, view premiums, and resale positioning.

The trade-off in this design is deliberate and worth stating plainly. A small parcel limits the total number of units and the scale of internal facilities compared with a larger compound, but it concentrates the green ratio and the view quality that a small plot can deliver. By holding the built area to 20%, EDGESTONE kept the buildings low and spread the landscape between clusters, so the density experienced by a resident stays low even though the plot is compact. That is the mechanism behind the 90% figure: fewer buildings on more green translate into an outlook for almost every apartment.

Where is Moraya Compound New Capital located?

Moraya Compound New Capital sits on Plot L10 in the Eighth Residential District (R8), the district closest to the Central Business and services spine of the New Administrative Capital. The plot borders the Green River, the city’s extended central park and its main recreational axis, and adjoins the Diplomatic District where the embassy compounds are located. The Government District lies minutes away, and the Capital International Airport is within roughly 15 minutes by car.

R8 is one of the Capital’s most sought-after residential districts, laid out with a direct relationship to the Green River and a lower building density than many surrounding zones. The location connects to the wider road network through the Regional Ring Road and the Bin Zayed South Axis, the two arteries that tie R8 to the rest of the Capital and to New Cairo. Placing the plot beside the Green River and the Diplomatic District, next to the Government District, gives the compound both a premium address and short daily commutes to the administrative core.

The immediate neighbourhood is already maturing rather than empty. Moraya shares R8 with established projects such as Light City and Blue Bird, which means the district carries comparable price levels and a settled service base rather than isolated construction. For a resident, that neighbour profile signals a stable community and a predictable level of surrounding amenities. For an investor, a maturing district with converging price levels tends to reduce the risk of buying into an area that never fills in.

Distances and connectivity from Moraya

The value of an R8 address is measured in daily travel time, and Moraya’s L10 plot performs well against the Capital’s key destinations. The Government District, home to the relocated ministries and the parliamentary complex, is a few minutes away, which matters directly to the civil servants and diplomatic staff who form a large part of demand in this district. The Diplomatic District, where the embassy plots sit, is adjacent to the compound, and the Green River runs alongside the plot as the city’s continuous central park.

Beyond the district, the Capital International Airport is roughly 15 minutes away by car, giving frequent travellers a short run to departures. The compound connects outward through two arteries: the Regional Ring Road, which links the New Capital to Greater Cairo and the wider road system, and the Bin Zayed South Axis, which ties R8 to the neighbouring districts and onward to New Cairo. That pairing of a premium internal address with two major exits keeps commutes to both the administrative core and the rest of Cairo within a practical range.

R8 and the New Administrative Capital context

The Eighth Residential District (R8) is planned as one of the New Capital’s prime residential zones, defined by its relationship to the Green River and a lower building density than many surrounding districts. Its proximity to both the Government District and the Diplomatic District puts it at the centre of the demand created by the state’s relocation programme, as ministries, the parliament, and embassies move into the city and generate a resident base of officials, staff, and the services that follow them. A compound placed inside R8 inherits that structural demand rather than relying on speculative interest alone.

The New Administrative Capital itself was built east of Greater Cairo as the country’s new administrative and financial centre, carrying the Government District, the Central Business District, and a network of new axes and a dedicated airport. For a buyer, that context frames Moraya as an entry into a city still in its build-out phase, where districts closest to the operational core, like R8, tend to absorb demand earliest. The compound’s position beside the Green River and the administrative zone aligns it with the parts of the Capital that are filling in first.

Unit types and sizes at Moraya

The product line is limited to residential apartments, with no villas or independent commercial units in the offering. Sizes start at 154 m² and the range splits into two clear categories. The first is a two-bedroom apartment on a fixed area of 154 m². The second is a three-bedroom apartment across a band of 168 m² to 214 m², which covers small-to-mid-sized family needs within the same building stock. Keeping the mix to two apartment categories, rather than layering in duplexes and penthouses, is part of what holds the density low and the view ratio high.

Unit type	Bedrooms	Area (m²)	Installment price (EGP)	Avg. price / m² (EGP)
Apartment	2 bedrooms	154	8,418,000 – 8,644,000	55,500
Apartment	3 bedrooms	168 – 214	7,565,000 – 13,286,000	52,500

Each category serves a distinct buyer. The 154 m² two-bedroom suits a couple or a small family who wants a fully finished unit with a green view without paying for space they will not use. The three-bedroom band from 168 m² to 214 m² serves a growing family that needs a third bedroom and more living area, and its wide price range reflects both the size step and the position of the unit within the compound. Because supply is concentrated in these two apartment types on a small plot, the well-positioned units with the strongest landscape views form the scarce tier of the offering.

The two-bedroom apartment occupies a fixed 154 m², which makes it the entry point into the compound and the simplest unit to compare like-for-like, since only its position and view change the price rather than its area. It fits a first-home buyer, a small family, or an investor targeting the most liquid resale and rental segment, where a compact fully finished unit tends to move fastest. Within this single size, a stronger landscape view is the main lever that lifts the price, which is why two identical-area units can carry a different value.

The three-bedroom apartment spans 168 m² to 214 m² and covers the widest span of family needs in the offering. Its range absorbs both the modest 168 m² layout for a family stepping up from two bedrooms and the larger 214 m² layout for a household that wants full living, dining, and three sleeping zones. The breadth of the price band, from EGP 7,565,000 to EGP 13,286,000, reflects that size step combined with the view and internal position of each unit, so a buyer can enter the three-bedroom tier at the compound’s lowest headline price or move well up it for a larger, better-positioned apartment.

What is the price per meter at Moraya Compound New Capital?

The average installment price per meter at Moraya Compound New Capital ranges between EGP 52,500 and EGP 55,500 depending on the unit type and its area, and unit prices start from EGP 7,565,000 for a three-bedroom apartment. Prices were updated in 2026 and include a payment plan of up to six years with fully finished delivery, which folds the finishing cost into the headline figure.

The price bands of the two categories overlap, and the reason matters for anyone comparing options. Price here tracks the unit’s location inside the compound and the quality of its landscape view, not the bedroom count alone. A two-bedroom apartment with a strong open view can therefore exceed the value of a three-bedroom unit in an internal position. That view premium is a direct consequence of the 90% landscape-view ratio: when almost every unit has an outlook, the strongest outlooks command the top of the range. Buyers should weigh view and position against area before settling on a unit rather than sorting by room count.

Set against the district, the pricing reads as consistent with R8’s premium tier rather than as an outlier, since Moraya sits alongside comparable projects like Light City and Blue Bird that share the same address quality. The fully finished handover is the key qualifier on the number: because the unit arrives complete, the buyer avoids the separate finishing outlay that a semi-finished unit in a competing compound would still require after purchase.

Payment plan and delivery at Moraya

EDGESTONE set a single, clear payment structure for the compound rather than a menu of competing plans. The buyer pays a 10% reservation down payment of the unit value, then settles the balance in installments over six years, up to 72 months, running to the handover date. Units are delivered fully finished, which removes the additional finishing cost that a buyer would otherwise carry in a semi-finished project and makes the total figure the effective all-in price.

Reservation down payment starting from 10% of the total unit value.
The remaining balance installed over 6 years, up to 72 months.
Units handed over fully finished, with no separate finishing cost.
Scheduled delivery in 2028, with construction already around 40% complete.

The six-year horizon is shorter than the eight-to-ten-year plans some New Capital compounds advertise, which raises the size of each installment but shortens the total commitment and the exposure to price changes over the payment period. Paired with a 2028 handover and fully finished units, the plan suits a buyer who prefers a defined, medium-length schedule and a unit that is ready to occupy or lease on delivery rather than a longer plan attached to a shell that still needs finishing.

The structure translates cleanly into how a purchase runs. On the entry-level three-bedroom unit at EGP 7,565,000, a 10% reservation brings the down payment near EGP 756,500, after which the remaining balance is spread across the six-year term to handover. Because the plan is single and fixed rather than a set of competing options, the buyer is comparing Moraya on a clear, known schedule rather than decoding tiered plans with different down payments and different lengths. That simplicity makes it straightforward to test the monthly commitment against a budget before reserving.

The plan also interacts with the fully finished handover in a way that affects total outlay. In a semi-finished project, a buyer budgets both the installment plan and a separate finishing cost that typically falls due around delivery, exactly when installments are still running. At Moraya, the finishing is inside the price and the schedule, so there is no second wave of spending at handover. For a buyer planning cash flow to 2028, removing that finishing spike is a material difference from an off-plan shell offered on a longer plan.

Finishing and handover

All units at Moraya are delivered fully finished, so the apartment arrives ready to live in or to lease without a further finishing phase. Handover is scheduled for 2028, and the developer reports a construction-completion rate of about 40% on the ground, which anchors the delivery date to visible progress rather than an unstarted plan. For a buyer, fully finished handover carries two practical effects: the finishing cost is already inside the purchase price, and the unit can generate rental income or house the owner immediately upon delivery instead of entering a months-long fit-out.

Construction status and master plan

Moraya is a project in active construction rather than a launch on paper. EDGESTONE has taken the scheme to roughly 40% completion on the ground, with Engineer Mohamed Abdelghani directing the construction works, and handover set for 2028. That progress rate matters for two reasons. It gives a prospective buyer a physical structure to inspect rather than renders alone, and it shortens the remaining build window between purchase and delivery, which in turn shortens the period during which a buyer carries an off-plan commitment.

The master plan organises the 5-acre plot around its landscape. Buildings sit on 20% of the parcel and the remaining 80% is given to green space and open views, arranged so that clusters of apartments face the greenery rather than each other. This layout is what produces the roughly 90% landscape-view ratio, and it also fixes the pedestrian scale of the compound: with a small built footprint spread through a large green area, residents move between the pools, the gym, the tracks, and the commercial strip on short internal routes. The plan reads as a single low-density residential phase of apartments, without the villa clusters or large commercial parcels that a bigger compound would carry.

Amenities and services inside the compound

Moraya packages its services across the recreational and daily-living sides within a gated perimeter. On the sports and leisure side, the compound provides swimming pools, an equipped gym, dedicated running and cycling tracks, and a children’s play area. On the commercial and service side, it includes a retail area for shopping, cafes and restaurants, and maintenance and cleaning services operating seven days a week. Because the plot is compact and green space covers 80% of it, residents reach these facilities on short internal walks rather than long drives across the compound.

The infrastructure layer is built around continuity of power and security. Moraya runs on a solar-energy system as a clean-power source, backed by standby generators that cover any interruption to the grid, and security and guarding teams secure the compound around the clock, 24 hours a day. The single largest amenity remains the landscape itself: the green space spread across 80% of the plot is the service that surrounds every unit, and it is the physical basis of the 90% landscape-view figure that defines the project.

How Moraya compares within R8

Placed next to its R8 neighbours, Moraya trades scale for view density. Where larger district projects such as Light City and Blue Bird spread across bigger parcels with taller building footprints, Moraya’s 5-acre plot and 20% footprint hold the building mass down and lift the landscape-view ratio to about 90%. A buyer comparing options in the district is effectively choosing between a larger community with more internal facilities and a smaller, lower-density compound where nearly every unit faces greenery. Both sit at comparable price levels because they share the same address quality, so the decision turns on density and view rather than on location.

The offering itself is narrower than many competitors by design. Several New Capital compounds layer apartments, duplexes, penthouses, and commercial units into one scheme, while Moraya limits itself to two apartment categories. That restraint is what keeps the density low and the view ratio high, and it concentrates the product on the buyer who specifically wants a fully finished apartment with an open outlook rather than a wide catalogue of unit types. For that buyer, the narrower list is a feature, not a gap.

About the developer: EDGESTONE Real Estate Development

The developer behind the project is EDGESTONE Real Estate Development, a company established more than 20 years ago and classified in the First Category for construction works by the Egyptian Federation for Construction and Building. That classification measures a firm’s execution capacity on large-scale projects, and it is a relevant credential for anyone buying an under-construction unit, because the developer’s ability to build and deliver is the main variable behind delivery risk. A track record spanning more than two decades reduces the default risk that buyers of off-plan units weigh most heavily.

EDGESTONE’s portfolio extends across residential, administrative, and industrial work rather than a single sector. It includes a residential compound on 10 acres and another on 7 acres in New Cairo, residential projects in El Shorouk City and Badr City, an administrative building on 800 m² in New Cairo, and a factory complex on 18 acres in Wadi El Natrun. This spread across housing, offices, and industry reflects multi-sector execution experience, and the New Cairo residential compounds in particular show a delivery history in gated residential development directly comparable to Moraya.

The industrial side of that record carries a specific weight for a construction-focused buyer. Building and operating a factory complex on 18 acres in Wadi El Natrun requires the same in-house construction capacity that the First-Category classification measures, which supports the developer’s ability to execute a residential project on its own rather than depending entirely on outside contractors. The two New Cairo compounds, on 10 acres and 7 acres, also sit in the same size class as Moraya’s 5-acre parcel, so the developer is building Moraya at a scale it has delivered before rather than attempting a jump into an unfamiliar project size.

For a buyer, the practical reading of the developer profile is about matching risk to evidence. The main risk in an off-plan purchase is that the project stalls or slips, and the factors that reduce that risk here are concrete: more than two decades in operation, a First-Category construction rating, a multi-sector delivery record, and a Moraya site already at 40% completion. None of these guarantees an outcome, but together they place the developer among the more established names building in the district rather than a new entrant with no track record to assess.

Why invest in Moraya Compound New Capital?

The investment case for Moraya Compound New Capital rests on measurable factors rather than marketing claims. The plot’s position on L10 in R8, beside the Government District and the Diplomatic District, sits it inside a high-demand zone driven by the ongoing relocation of ministries and embassies, which supports medium-term growth in unit values. The low density on 5 acres and the 90% landscape-view ratio create scarcity in the compound’s premium, well-positioned stock, and scarcity of that kind typically feeds through to resale pricing.

On the risk side, EDGESTONE’s record of more than 20 years and its First-Category classification lower the probability of delay or default, and construction already at 40% completion further narrows execution risk. Fully finished handover in 2028 makes each unit ready to occupy or lease the moment it is delivered, with no added finishing outlay. In practical terms, the project fits a buyer seeking a fully finished apartment with a green outlook in a government-and-embassy address, on a budget starting around EGP 7.5 million. It does not fit a buyer who needs an immediate handover or a standalone villa, because the offering is apartments only with delivery set for 2028.

The rental angle is worth isolating because it depends on the same facts. A fully finished unit in R8, minutes from the Government and Diplomatic Districts, is aimed squarely at the tenant pool the Capital’s relocation creates: officials, diplomatic and administrative staff, and professionals working in the administrative core who want a ready apartment near their work. Because the unit is delivered complete, it can enter that rental market immediately on handover in 2028 with no fit-out delay, which shortens the gap between delivery and the first rental return. The low-density, green setting also positions the unit toward the upper end of the local rental tier rather than the commodity end.

This analysis is for guidance only and is not investment advice.

Who Moraya Compound New Capital suits

Moraya Compound New Capital fits a specific buyer profile, and naming it plainly helps a reader decide quickly. The clearest match is a family or professional who wants a fully finished apartment with an open green view in a government-and-embassy district, on a budget starting near EGP 7.5 million, and who is comfortable with a 2028 handover on a six-year plan. For this buyer, the fully finished delivery removes the finishing cost and effort, the L10 address places daily destinations minutes away, and the low density delivers the outlook that a larger, denser compound cannot match on every unit.

Equally, the project does not fit some buyers, and the mismatch is easy to read from the same facts. A buyer who needs to move in immediately is not served, because delivery is set for 2028 rather than a ready handover. A buyer who wants a standalone villa or a duplex will not find one, since the offering is apartments only in two categories. And a buyer looking for the longest possible installment horizon may prefer a compound with an eight-to-ten-year plan, as Moraya’s schedule runs to six years. Matching the buyer to the offering avoids a purchase that looks attractive on price but misses on timing or unit type.
