Compound The Address East New Cairo is a residential compound developed by Dorra Developments across 60 acres in the heart of New Cairo (Fifth Settlement). What sets this project apart before any single amenity is the age of the developer behind it. Dorra was founded in 1943 by the engineer Mohamed Hassan Dorra, which gives it more than 82 years in the construction and development market, a track record that almost no other developer building compounds in New Cairo can match, since most of them are under twenty years old.
The compound dedicates 80% of its land to green space and landscaping and keeps only 20% for buildings, a ratio higher than the roughly 70% average across New Cairo compounds. Dorra distributed 1,700 units across 88 low-rise residential buildings of ground plus four floors, offering apartments, duplexes, twin houses, and standalone villas, most delivered in full super lux finishing with installment plans that reach 7 years. Unit prices start from 10,500,000 EGP, and the average price per meter starts near 13,700 EGP, below the direct neighbors in the same district. This combination of an 80-year-old developer, an above-market green ratio, and a price per meter under its neighbors is the core reason a long-term buyer evaluates this project.
Dorra Developments: the 82-year track record behind Compound The Address East New Cairo
Dorra Developments was established in 1943 by the engineer Mohamed Hassan Dorra, making it one of the oldest contracting and development firms in Egypt, with a record that spans more than seven decades of continuous work. The firm operates well beyond the local market, having delivered 27 towers in the United Arab Emirates and 13 towers in Qatar alongside its Egyptian portfolio, with additional presence in Saudi Arabia. This kind of longevity is the developer’s strongest risk-reduction signal, because a company that has survived eight decades of market cycles carries a lower probability of construction stalls or specification changes than a newly formed developer.
Its delivered Egyptian projects give the buyer concrete reference points rather than marketing promises. Dorra built Capital Business Park in New Cairo, Atrium in Sheikh Zayed, Courtyard in Maadi, Dorra Compound in Sheikh Zayed, and Village West in Sheikh Zayed. Read More: Hyde Park New Cairo. Reading a developer through its completed work matters more than reading its brochure, and Dorra’s long list of handed-over communities across residential and commercial segments is the practical basis for trusting the delivery timeline at The Address East.
The regional depth adds a second layer to that reference. Delivering 27 towers in the United Arab Emirates and 13 towers in Qatar means the firm has repeatedly executed high-rise construction under external contract standards, then returned to build low-rise gated communities at home. A buyer at The Address East New Cairo is therefore purchasing from a developer whose capacity has been tested across four markets and more than eight decades, not from a single-project entity, which is precisely the profile that lowers off-plan risk in a market where newer names dominate the Fifth Settlement.
Where is The Address East New Cairo located exactly?
The Address East New Cairo sits in the heart of the Fifth Settlement in New Cairo, close to the Cairo-Suez Road and the extension of 90th Street. The position places the compound at a junction between the main New Cairo axes and the New Administrative Capital, with direct proximity to Al Rehab City, the American University in Cairo, and established compounds such as Hyde Park, Zed East, and Mountain View iCity. Its closeness to 90th Street in particular solves a point Fifth Settlement buyers search for often: fast reach to service centers, international schools, and major malls without leaving the district.
The location earns its value from measurable distances rather than the phrase “prime location”. The compound keeps the daily-life radius short while stepping back from the heavier traffic deep inside the Fifth Settlement, which is the trade-off many families weigh when they compare New Cairo addresses. The distances to the main axes and landmarks are set out below.
- 90th Street: about 5 minutes by car.
- American University in Cairo (AUC): about 10 minutes.
- Al Rehab City: around 7 minutes.
- Cairo International Airport: 10 to 15 minutes.
- New Administrative Capital: roughly 30 minutes via the Cairo-Suez Road.
- Nasr City and Heliopolis: about 20 minutes.
- Cairo-Suez Road: a few minutes away directly.
These figures place the compound inside two distinct catchments at once. The 5-minute reach to 90th Street ties it to the mature service spine of the Fifth Settlement, with its international schools, malls, and clinics, while the roughly 30-minute link to the New Administrative Capital keeps it relevant to the growing job base moving east. The 10-to-15-minute distance to Cairo International Airport is a genuine advantage for a frequently traveling household, and the 7-minute proximity to Al Rehab adds an established retail and dining anchor next door. Together these distances explain why the location functions as a connector between old New Cairo demand and the new eastern axis, rather than sitting at the edge of either one.
Area and urban design of the compound
The Address East New Cairo spans 60 acres, equivalent to roughly 252,000 m². Dorra allocated only 20% of that land to buildings against 80% for green space, landscaping, and artificial lakes, a distribution higher than the New Cairo compound average that hovers around 70%. The project holds 1,700 residential units spread over 88 buildings, with a low-rise system of ground plus four floors per block. That height cap reduces visual density and opens the units’ views onto the green expanses and water features rather than facing neighboring facades.
The low built-up ratio is not only a lifestyle attribute, it is a resale attribute. A second buyer in New Cairo prices the openness of a compound, so a scheme that keeps four out of every five acres green tends to hold value better than a denser layout. The spacing between the 88 buildings supports privacy, and the ground-plus-four cap keeps the community human-scaled instead of tower-based, which is the design language families in the Fifth Settlement typically prefer.
Unit types and sizes inside The Address East New Cairo
Dorra varied the unit mix so the compound covers different buyer segments, from a buyer seeking a mid-sized family apartment to one seeking a standalone villa above 500 m². Apartments form the largest share of the mix, followed by duplexes, then twin houses and standalone villas as the smallest and most exclusive share. Around 1,200 of the total units are delivered in full super lux finishing. The table below sets out each type with its size and notes.
| Unit type | Area (m²) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apartments | 140, 210 | Mix of 2 and 3 bedrooms; some ground units with private gardens from 121 m² |
| Duplexes | from about 200 | Suited to larger families wanting two levels |
| Twin houses | from 315 | With a private garden; roughly 28 units only |
| Standalone villas | from 500 | Overlook the landscape and the artificial lakes |
Each type answers a distinct need. The apartments target families who want a finished home near an international school without the maintenance load of a villa, and they run in 2 and 3 bedroom layouts, with some ground units carrying private gardens from 121 m². The duplexes suit a household that wants more internal space and a two-storey layout while staying inside an apartment budget band. The twin houses, capped at about 28 units, carry natural scarcity and a private garden, which appeals to a buyer who wants villa-style privacy at a lower entry than a standalone. The standalone villas from 500 m² sit at the top of the mix, positioned on the landscape and water frontage for buyers prioritizing space and view. Because the buildings hold to ground plus four floors, even the apartment tier keeps a low-density feel that usually belongs to villa zones elsewhere in New Cairo.
What is the price per meter at Compound The Address East New Cairo?
The price per meter at Compound The Address East New Cairo starts from about 13,700 EGP, and the unit price starts from 10,500,000 EGP for apartments. Duplex prices start near 10 million EGP, twin houses from about 17 million EGP, and standalone villas rise higher by size and position. Prices were updated for 2026 and include installment plans of up to 7 years.

Several factors move the final figure inside the same compound, so two units of the same type can carry different prices. The main drivers are listed below, and they matter most when comparing a ground unit with a garden against a middle floor, or a landscape view against an internal street.
- The unit’s position in the masterplan, whether it overlooks the landscape or an internal street.
- The floor, since a ground unit with a garden and a top-floor unit with a roof price differently from middle floors.
- The finishing level, with most units delivered in full super lux.
- Attachments such as a private garden, a roof, or a terrace.
Payment plans and installments
Dorra offers more than one payment plan at The Address East New Cairo so the buyer can choose by the down payment they can carry. Every plan runs on equal installments with no interest, and a cash discount is available for immediate settlement. The plans are set out below.
- Plan one: 5% down payment of the total unit price, with the balance over 7 years.
- Plan two: 10% down payment, with the balance over 7 years.
- Plan three: 25% down payment with installments over 5 years, the most common choice.
- Cash discount for immediate payment, reaching up to 20% in some periods.
The 5% plan is one of the lowest down payments among Fifth Settlement compounds in this price band, which suits a buyer whose monthly capacity is stronger than their upfront capacity. The 25% plan over 5 years fits a buyer who wants faster handover and a shorter commitment window. Matching the plan to cash flow rather than to headline price is the practical decision here, and the spread from 5% to 25% gives that flexibility.
Finishing and delivery date
Units at The Address East New Cairo are delivered in full super lux finishing, covering the floors, the fully fitted bathrooms, the kitchen with counter and sinks, the internal and external doors, and the paintwork. The handover period after contracting runs around 3 years depending on the unit type and the construction phase, placing delivery near 2027. Dorra is known in its market for meeting delivery dates as a result of its long execution record, which is the same track record that reduces the delay risk a buyer weighs when purchasing off-plan.
Full finishing changes the real cost picture more than the headline price suggests. Because roughly 1,200 of the units arrive move-in ready, the buyer avoids the added spend and the months of fit-out work that a core-and-shell handover imposes, which matters for both an end user planning to live in the unit and an investor planning to lease it soon after delivery. A finished unit reaches the rental market faster, and in a district where tenants expect a complete home, that shortens the gap between handover and the first rental income.
Amenities and services
The Address East New Cairo was designed as a self-sufficient residential community that reduces the residents’ need to leave for daily errands. The facilities fall into clear categories, from leisure and social to commercial, medical, and security, and the compound pairs them with the wide green expanses and artificial lakes that its 80% landscape ratio makes possible.
- A social club with a gym, a spa, and a sauna.
- Swimming pools distributed across the compound.
- Walking and cycling tracks.
- Secured children’s play areas.
- Artificial lakes and wide green spaces.
- An internal commercial mall with international and local brands and restaurants.
- Medical clinics, analysis labs, and pharmacies.
- A large car garage.
- Maintenance and cleaning services around the clock.
- 24-hour security and guarding, with surveillance cameras across the entrances and internal axes.
- Automatic fire-extinguishing systems inside the buildings.
The service layer is what turns the 80% landscape into a daily-use asset rather than a view. The internal mall, the clinics, and the labs keep routine errands inside the gate, while the club, the pools, and the tracks give the residents active facilities without leaving the 60 acres. Grouping commercial, medical, leisure, and security functions on site is the design intent Dorra states for the compound, and it is the practical reason the project reads as a self-sufficient community for a family that wants to minimize trips outside the Fifth Settlement.
Investment analysis for The Address East New Cairo
From the angle of a buyer weighing the decision, The Address East New Cairo carries several factors worth balancing against each other. First, the developer’s age: Dorra is a company older than 80 years, and that alone lowers the risk of default compared with newer developers. Second, the green-space ratio of 80% is above the prevailing New Cairo compound average, which supports the long-term stability of unit value because a low built-up ratio is one of the attributes a second buyer prizes on resale.
Third, the position between 90th Street and the Cairo-Suez Road makes the compound a candidate for rental with a reasonable yield, especially since the target tenant segment in the Fifth Settlement, meaning company staff working in the New Administrative Capital, American University faculty, and the families of students, looks for fully finished units within a sensible distance of work or study. Fourth, the price per meter near 13,700 EGP sits below the average of neighboring competing compounds such as Hyde Park and Zed East, which opens more room for price appreciation as the delivery date approaches.

The project fits families seeking long-term housing in a quiet area near international schools and universities, and an investor seeking a unit inside a compound with a strong developer brand at a competitive price per meter. It fits less a buyer seeking immediate handover, because the delivery window is roughly 3 years from the contract date. The likely neighbor profile follows the price band and the finishing level, which points to established professional households rather than a transient tenant base, a factor a resale buyer reads positively. This analysis is for guidance only and is not an investment recommendation.
Neighboring compounds for comparison
The Address East New Cairo sits a short distance from three compounds that form the direct price reference for the area. Hyde Park New Cairo, developed by Hyde Park Developments, sets a higher price-per-meter benchmark next door. Zed East, developed by ORA Developers under the engineer Naguib Sawiris, is the branded neighbor to the north. Mountain View iCity, developed by Mountain View, completes the reference set. All three carry a higher price per meter than The Address East, and that gap works in favor of a buyer who wants an established developer brand at a level below the immediate area market. You may also compare it with Mountain View Hyde Park New Cairo when weighing the same district on developer strength and price.
