Palm East New Cairo sits on a 12-acre plot inside the South Investors district, positioned as the third building overlooking the Mohamed Naguib Axis, and it was launched by TG Developments, the real estate arm of Tahoun Group. The address carries more weight here than the acreage, because the South Investors district is already built and populated rather than a stretch of serviced desert waiting for its utilities to arrive. A buyer here moves into a neighborhood that already holds schools, social clubs, and retail within a few minutes of the gate, which removes the multi-year waiting period that comes with the outer edges of New Cairo.

The compound holds studios from 72 m², one-bedroom to four-bedroom apartments, serviced hotel apartments, duplexes reaching 330 m², and two villa lines marketed as Town Palm Villa and Zen Garden Villa. Unit prices open at EGP 4,471,000, the booking deposit starts at EGP 50,000, and the developer allows the down payment to fall to 0% with the balance spread across ten years. That combination of a low entry ticket inside a mature district, rather than sheer scale, defines the buyer this project was built for.

Where is Palm East New Cairo located?

Palm East New Cairo sits in the South Investors district of New Cairo (Fifth Settlement), the third building fronting the Mohamed Naguib Axis, near South 90th Street. The plot lies minutes from the American University in Cairo and El Zohour Club, with direct access to the Ring Road.

What gives this plot its value is that it functions as a junction rather than a dead end. The Mohamed Naguib Axis, the road that ties the Fifth Settlement to the eastern arteries and onward toward the New Administrative Capital, runs directly in front of the compound, while South 90th Street connects residents to the commercial and service spine of New Cairo. The Ring Road sits close enough to open a route into central Cairo and Giza without threading through the congested interior of the Fifth Settlement.

The practical effect is a shorter daily commute than most compounds pushed out toward the city limits, where every trip begins with several kilometers of feeder road before the first real axis. The South Investors district also carries a settled character that newer sub-districts do not yet have, since its streets, utilities, and retail were finished years ago. For a buyer weighing two comparable units, that difference decides whether the neighborhood is usable on handover day or three years later.

Landmarks and entities surrounding the compound

The American University in Cairo: the New Cairo campus sits minutes away, which makes the compound a practical base for students, visiting faculty, and the families who follow them.
El Zohour Club: one of the established social and sporting clubs of the Fifth Settlement, adjoining the compound’s immediate surroundings.
Mohamed Naguib Axis: the arterial road the project fronts, linking the South Investors district to the wider network of New Cairo axes.
The Ring Road: a direct outlet toward central Cairo, Giza, and the rest of Greater Cairo.
MMC Mall and Nagma Walk Mall: two nearby retail and services destinations covering everyday needs outside the compound walls.
Al Rehab City: one of the largest serviced residential communities in New Cairo, a short drive away, adding schools, clinics, and further retail to the catchment.

A 12-acre compound in a district built around 184-acre masterplans

Palm East New Cairo spans 12 acres, roughly 50,400 m² of land. Set against the New Cairo compounds that run from 184 acres up to 1,200 acres, that is a fraction of the usual footprint, and the gap changes the nature of daily life rather than just the specification sheet. A smaller land bank supports fewer units, a lower resident count, and short internal walking distances between a front door and the clubhouse or the retail strip, and it creates a natural scarcity that supports resale value once the compound is fully sold.

TG Developments assigned the larger share of that land to green areas, water features, and leisure facilities, spacing the residential blocks so that no two buildings sit shoulder to shoulder. Each block rises only to ground plus four upper floors, a low-rise profile that keeps sightlines open and limits the number of households sharing a single core. Every building carries its own elevator and its own parking allocation, which distributes services across the site instead of funnelling residents toward one central node.

The masterplan was drawn by Hafez Consultants, an engineering practice with a long presence in the Egyptian market, which interleaved the residential blocks with green corridors and water elements rather than stacking them around a single spine. This low-rise, green-heavy layout is the clearest structural difference between Palm East New Cairo and the high-rise towers filling other parts of the Fifth Settlement. It also explains the buyer the compound targets, someone looking for a quiet enclosed community rather than a multi-phase development the size of a small town.

Unit types, sizes, and bedroom counts

Four unit families share the site: studios and apartments, serviced hotel apartments, duplexes, and villas. That spread lets a single gated community absorb very different buyers, from an individual buying a small rental studio to a family that needs a duplex or a standalone villa. The price schedule below pairs each unit family with its bedroom count, its area, and its installment price.

Unit type	Bedrooms	Area (m²)	Installment price (EGP)
Studio / apartment	1	72 to 76	4,471,000 to 6,160,000
Apartment	2	97 to 117	6,183,000 to 9,105,000
Apartment	3	127 to 167	8,318,000 to 12,493,000
Apartment	4	192	12,192,000 to 12,480,000
Duplex	4	330	21,016,000
Duplex	5	294	18,696,000
Hotel apartment	1	72	7,704,000 to 8,412,000
Hotel apartment	2	110	11,000,000 to 15,156,000
Hotel apartment	3	138	15,961,000

The smart studios form the entry tier and read as the investor unit of the project, small enough to let rather than to live in long term, and close enough to the American University in Cairo to hold steady tenant demand. One-bedroom apartments share the same 72 m² to 76 m² band, so the difference between an investment purchase and a first home at this tier comes down to layout and floor rather than size. Two-bedroom apartments occupy the 97 m² to 117 m² range, the tier that usually clears fastest in New Cairo because it matches both young families and buyers trading up from an older apartment.

Three-bedroom apartments run from 127 m² to 167 m², and the four-bedroom layout is fixed at 192 m², which makes it the largest flat plate in the compound before the duplexes begin. The duplexes cover 294 m² with five bedrooms and 330 m² with four, so the larger of the two trades a bedroom for volume and reception space. Villas arrive under the Town Palm Villa and Zen Garden Villa labels and sit at the top of the ladder for buyers who want maximum privacy without leaving the gate.

One point deserves flagging before a buyer signs anything. TG Developments also markets a wider set of size bands in its brochures, quoting studios from 70 m² to 85 m², two-bedroom apartments from 110 m² to 130 m², three-bedroom apartments from 139 m² to 168 m², and four-bedroom apartments from 191 m² to 195 m². Those ranges do not match the areas attached to the priced units in the schedule above, so the area written on the reservation form is the only figure worth relying on. Ask the sales team to confirm the net area and the loading factor for the specific unit code before paying the deposit.

How much is the price per meter at Palm East New Cairo?

The price per meter at Palm East New Cairo starts near EGP 63,500 for residential apartments and duplexes and reaches roughly EGP 115,500 for serviced hotel apartments, while a full unit opens at EGP 4,471,000. Prices are stated for 2026 and vary by unit type, area, and position.

Reading the schedule line by line shows where that range comes from. The four-bedroom apartment at 192 m² and EGP 12,192,000 works out to exactly EGP 63,500 per meter, the floor of the residential band, while the mid-size apartments settle between roughly EGP 64,500 and EGP 72,000 per meter depending on the tier. The duplexes track the same residential logic, with the 294 m² unit landing near EGP 63,600 per meter and the 330 m² unit near EGP 63,700, which tells a buyer that the developer prices the large units by area rather than charging a premium for the duplex format itself.

The hotel apartments follow a completely separate rule. A 138 m² three-bedroom serviced unit at EGP 15,961,000 sits near EGP 115,700 per meter, and the two-bedroom serviced units span a wide band that reaches beyond that level at the top of their price range. The premium is not a markup on the same product, since serviced units are built for managed letting and hotel-style operation, and the higher meter price buys into that operating income rather than into extra floor area. Anyone comparing the two lines should compare expected yield, not price per meter, because the two numbers answer different questions.

Placed against the South Investors district as a whole, the residential band reads as competitive rather than cheap, and the proximity to the American University in Cairo and El Zohour Club is the main factor holding it up, since both raise property values in their immediate radius. The ladder climbs from a reasonable entry point at the studios and one-bedroom apartments to duplexes above EGP 18 million, which lets a buyer move between budget tiers without leaving the compound or the district.

Payment plans, down payment, and booking deposit

TG Developments structures the payment plan around a down payment that can start at 0% of the unit price, with the remaining balance installed over ten years. Pairing a near-zero down payment with a decade-long schedule lowers the cash barrier at signing, which widens the pool of buyers who can reserve a unit without assembling a large first payment. The reservation terms then vary by unit family.

Booking deposit, studios and apartments: from EGP 50,000, a deliberately small serious-intent payment that holds the unit while the contract is prepared.
Booking deposit, Town Palm and Zen Garden villas: from EGP 100,000, scaled to the larger areas and higher ticket of the villa tier.
Down payment: from 0% of the total unit value, with the option to pay more in exchange for a discount or improved terms.
Installment period: up to 10 years on the outstanding balance.

The 0% figure and the booking deposit are two separate things, and confusing them is the most common misreading of this plan. The deposit reserves the unit and is applied against the contract, while the down payment is the percentage of the total price due at signing, which the developer is willing to reduce to nothing on selected units. Raising the down payment voluntarily is the lever that unlocks a lower headline price, so a buyer with cash available should ask for the discounted schedule rather than defaulting to the advertised 0% route.

The developer keeps a team of property consultants to walk buyers through the schedules and match them to a budget and a unit type. Offers and discounts are also released periodically and can change the down payment terms or the unit price outright, which means the numbers published anywhere online, including this page, describe the plan as it stood at the last update rather than a permanently fixed contract.

Who is the developer behind Palm East New Cairo?

The developer of Palm East New Cairo is TG Developments, also known as Tahoun Group, founded by engineer Ashraf Tahoun with more than 20 years in contracting and real estate development. Its portfolio spans residential and commercial projects across Greater Cairo.

Two decades of contracting work is the attribute that separates TG Developments from the newer names crowding the Fifth Settlement with first projects and no completed handover behind them. Buying off plan transfers construction risk to the purchaser, and the only practical hedge is a portfolio a buyer can drive to and inspect. The delivered projects below are that portfolio.

Palm Island Compound in El Shorouk City.
Palm Capital Compound in El Shorouk City.
17 residential buildings across Nasr City and Heliopolis.
23 towers in Zahraa Nasr City.
8 villas in Obour City.

The pattern in that list is worth noticing. TG Developments built its track record on mid-rise residential blocks in dense, established districts such as Nasr City, Heliopolis, and El Shorouk, not on sprawling desert masterplans. Palm East New Cairo repeats that formula on a Fifth Settlement plot, which is a more reliable signal than a developer attempting a category it has never delivered before.

Amenities, services, and facility management

The amenity package covers daily needs and leisure inside the walls, and it is operated and maintained by A Plus, a specialist facility management company. Grouping the facilities by function shows how the 12 acres were allocated across retail, recreation, services, and security.

Is Palm East New Cairo a sound investment?

Palm East New Cairo rests its investment case on three verifiable attributes: a plot in the populated South Investors district on the Mohamed Naguib Axis, a 12-acre footprint that caps total supply, and a developer with more than 20 years of delivered work.

The rental argument is the most concrete of the three. The American University in Cairo generates continuous demand for small furnished units from students, visiting academics, and staff, and the studios and one-bedroom apartments in the 72 m² to 76 m² band are exactly the product that market absorbs. The serviced hotel apartments are aimed at the same demand from the other direction, since they are designed for managed letting and priced at almost double the residential rate per meter, which only makes sense if the operating income justifies it. A buyer should therefore treat the hotel line as an income product and ask for the management agreement and the revenue-sharing terms in writing.

Scarcity is the second lever. A 12-acre compound produces a finite unit count, and once the developer has sold through, the only route in is the resale market, which behaves very differently from a 1,200-acre project releasing new phases for a decade. The third lever, the developer’s record, reduces the risk of a delayed or altered handover, though a completed portfolio in Nasr City and El Shorouk is evidence rather than a guarantee for a Fifth Settlement plot.

Two buyer profiles fit clearly. The first is the investor after a small, lettable unit within reach of a major university, where the studios and serviced apartments do the work. The second is the family that wants quiet, low-density housing in a district whose services already exist, rather than a plot on the outer ring of New Cairo.

The fit breaks down for two other profiles. The project suits poorly anyone chasing the scale and internal variety of an integrated city, and for anyone who needs a ready unit now, because the compound is small by design and off plan. Some buyers also read the pricing as high relative to certain neighboring projects, a judgement that the mature location and the named facility manager partly offset. This analysis is offered as guidance and is not investment advice.

What the project does not publish

Being explicit about the gaps is more useful to a buyer than filling them with guesses. TG Developments has not published a delivery year for Palm East New Cairo in its official project data, so any handover date quoted elsewhere should be traced back to the contract rather than to a listing page. The finishing specification is likewise unstated, meaning there is no confirmation on record of whether units are handed over semi-finished, fully finished, or with a choice of packages.

Three further attributes are absent from the published data: the built-up and green-space ratios expressed as percentages, the total number of units in the compound, and the project’s license status with the New Urban Communities Authority. Each of those is a fair question to put to the sales team, and each has a documented answer the developer can produce. Requesting them in writing before the deposit is the practical step, because a booking deposit paid against unconfirmed delivery terms is the single most common source of dispute in off-plan purchases in Egypt.

The bottom line

Palm East New Cairo trades scale for position. Twelve acres on the Mohamed Naguib Axis inside an already-inhabited district, low-rise blocks by Hafez Consultants, a unit ladder running from 72 m² studios to 330 m² duplexes and villas, prices from EGP 4,471,000, and a ten-year plan with a down payment that can start at zero. The developer’s twenty-year record and the university on the doorstep are what separate it from the newer Fifth Settlement launches.
