Compound The Phoenix New Cairo occupies roughly 20 acres inside Swan Lake Residence, the 454-acre community Hassan Allam Properties developed in New Cairo (Fifth Settlement). That ratio is the point of the phase. Fourteen residential blocks carry five units per floor, so the newest neighbourhood in Swan Lake stays low in density while its residents draw on the facilities of a masterplan more than twenty times its size.
Hassan Allam Properties allocated the larger share of those 454 acres to green space, artificial lakes and service buildings, then dropped The Phoenix inside that framework instead of on a standalone plot. Apartments, garden apartments and penthouses start from EGP 13 million and hand over fully finished super lux, with a 5% reservation down payment and installments running up to 8 years. Each unit was positioned to face either the planting or the water, which is why the developer describes the five apartments sharing a floor as five different views.

A 20-acre phase inside a 454-acre masterplan
Swan Lake Residence spans 454 acres of New Cairo, and most of that land carries landscaping, water bodies and community facilities rather than construction. The Phoenix phase sits on about 20 acres of it, split across 14 apartment blocks. Five units share every floor, and the block spacing was set so that no apartment surrenders its outlook to the building opposite.
The developer handed the landscaping to international practices whose portfolio includes public gardens in Paris, and that shows in the planting scheme and in the artificial lake laid out in front of the neighbourhood. Street widths absorb pedestrian promenades alongside running and cycling tracks, so daily movement inside the community does not depend on a car. Low density at phase level combined with heavy service provision at masterplan level is the actual trade a buyer makes here, and it separates The Phoenix from denser launches elsewhere in the Fifth Settlement.
Where is Compound The Phoenix New Cairo located?
Compound The Phoenix New Cairo sits inside Swan Lake Residence in New Cairo, close to Al Rehab City and within easy reach of the Ring Road and Suez Road. Cairo International Airport lies 8 minutes away by car, which places the project among the better-connected addresses in the Fifth Settlement.
The developer chose the plot on an accessibility rule rather than an isolation rule. The neighbourhood keeps the quiet of a gated community while staying inside the built-up belt of New Cairo, so the drive to the district’s schools, offices and retail stays short. The measured travel times below replace the vague “prime location” claim with figures a buyer can check.
- Cairo International Airport: 8 minutes by car.
- The American University in Cairo, New Cairo campus: 14 minutes.
- An international school: 2 minutes from the gate.
- Cairo Festival City: 18 minutes.
- Immediate neighbours: The Brooks and The Median compounds in New Cairo.
An international school two minutes away and the American University a quarter of an hour away make the address workable for families who rank education above everything else. Sitting beside established compounds such as The Brooks and The Median also matters commercially, because it places the unit inside a mature residential belt with occupied neighbours, finished roads and running facilities. Areas still entirely under construction carry a longer wait before the surrounding services catch up, and that wait usually shows in resale value.
Unit types, sizes and layouts
The phase offers regular apartments, ground-floor apartments with a private garden, and penthouses. Source data puts apartment, duplex and penthouse areas between 120 and 220 m², and the specific layouts released so far run from 110 m² upward, so the smallest garden units sit just under the quoted band. The table lists the released configurations with their built-up area, garden area, and room counts.
| Unit type | Built-up area (m²) | Private garden (m²) | Bedrooms | Bathrooms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Garden apartment | 110 | 85 | 2 | 2 |
| Apartment | 127 | None | 2 | 2 |
| Apartment | 130 | None | 2 | 2 |
| Garden apartment | 121 | 138 | 2 | 2 |
| Garden apartment | 155 | 107 | 3 | 3 |
| Garden apartment | 177 | 128 | 3 | 3 |
Two-bedroom apartments in the 127 m² to 130 m² range target newly married couples and small families who want a finished unit without carrying a larger installment. Three-bedroom configurations at 155 m² and 177 m² answer growing households that need a third room for a child or a home office. The garden apartments are the phase’s most distinctive product, since a 121 m² unit pairs with a 138 m² garden that is larger than the interior itself.
Those ground-floor units effectively substitute for the villas the phase does not contain. A private garden, a separate outdoor sitting area and a ground-level entrance reproduce part of what a villa buyer looks for, at an apartment price and with compound maintenance handling the shared areas. Penthouses cover the opposite end of the range with roof terraces and the widest outlooks over the lake and landscaping.
How much does a unit at Compound The Phoenix New Cairo cost?
Unit prices at Compound The Phoenix New Cairo start from EGP 13 million according to the primary source, updated during 2026. The final figure moves with built-up area, position within the 20-acre phase, and whether the unit carries a private garden. Prices remain subject to change before contract.
That entry point reads competitively against the Fifth Settlement compound set once the scale of the shared facilities is factored in, because the buyer of a Phoenix apartment funds a unit in a 20-acre phase yet uses the amenities of a 454-acre community. Garden apartments command the largest premium in the phase, since the outdoor area is priced on top of the interior. Verify the running price and the current offer before signing, as launch pricing in New Cairo has been revised more than once a year.

Hassan Allam Properties released a payment structure built around a low entry payment rather than a short tenor, which keeps the reservation cost accessible and spreads the balance:

- Reservation down payment starting from 5% of the total unit price.
- Balance installed over a period reaching 8 years.
- Cash discount of up to 20% of the total price, per the source data.
- Units handed over fully finished to super lux standard.
Finishing standard and handover timeline
Every unit in the phase is delivered fully finished to super lux standard, meaning the apartment is ready for furniture with no additional finishing contract, no second budget line, and no supervision burden on the buyer. The source sets handover at roughly 4 years from the contract date, while several listing platforms cite 2028 as the expected delivery year.
Full finishing changes the arithmetic for anyone buying to let. A semi-finished unit in New Cairo typically demands a further outlay and several months of work before it can be occupied or listed, so the rental clock starts late. Here the owner can move in or advertise the unit in the month of handover, which shortens the gap between the last construction installment and the first rental receipt.
Facilities inside the community
Residents of the phase use the full Swan Lake Residence service network, which covers leisure, sport, retail, security and daily maintenance inside the gates. The announced facilities include:
- A 1.4 km promenade lined with international restaurants and cafés.
- 6 secured children’s play areas fitted with recreational and educational activities.
- A health club with a gym, jacuzzi, spa and hydrotherapy rooms.
- Multiple swimming pools in varying shapes and depths to suit all ages.
- A clubhouse and a large social club for family and friends.
- A wide artificial lake and extensive green space laid out to an international design.
- A commercial area and a hypermarket covering daily shopping.
- Walking, running and cycling tracks, plus dedicated pet zones.
- 24/7 security and guarding, surveillance cameras and electronic gates.
- An underground garage allocated to the units, and modern fire suppression systems.
- Maintenance and cleaning services through the week, a mosque, and an administrative building serving residents.
Grouped by purpose, the provision splits cleanly into three layers. Leisure runs through the promenade, the clubhouse and the pools, retail and daily needs sit with the commercial strip and the hypermarket, and the security layer combines round-the-clock guarding, electronic gates and the allocated underground garage. That completeness is what allows a resident to cover an ordinary week without leaving the community, and it is also what a facility-management fee is paying for.
Hassan Allam Properties, a developer trading since 1936
Hassan Allam was founded in 1936 and established itself as a pioneer of modern construction in Egypt long before it moved into integrated real estate development. That length of record matters directly to anyone buying off plan on an 8-year installment schedule, because the main risk in such a purchase is a developer stalling or slipping the handover date. A company that has traded through nine decades of Egyptian market cycles carries a different risk profile from a first-project developer.
The firm has since delivered residential and coastal communities across prime Egyptian locations and expanded into several Arab countries. Its portfolio gives a buyer a measurable reference for the execution quality to expect in the phase:
- Swan Lake Residence New Cairo, the parent community that contains The Phoenix phase.
- Swan Lake Katameya and Swan Lake 6th of October.
- Swan Lake North Coast village and Swan Lake El Gouna resort.
- Park View Katameya and Seasons Residence in New Cairo.
- Hub Town in Mostakbal City and Jaz Little Venice Golf resort in Ain Sokhna.
Who the project suits, and who should look elsewhere
Several stated facts point the same way on investment potential. The address sits 8 minutes from Cairo International Airport and 14 minutes from the American University, the developer has traded since 1936 which lowers delivery risk, and full super lux finishing allows immediate letting at handover. Belonging to Swan Lake Residence rather than a standalone plot ties the unit to an established service ecosystem, and mature services support rental demand more reliably than promised ones.
The profile fits a buyer who wants a move-in-ready home inside a serviced community within two minutes of an international school, and an investor targeting the Fifth Settlement tenant pool with a unit that needs no finishing work. It fits less well for anyone set on a standalone villa, because the phase contains none. The nearest substitutes remain the garden apartments and the penthouses, and buyers who want a villa from the same developer should look at its other communities instead.
This analysis is offered for guidance and is not investment advice. Confirm the running price, the current payment plan and the contracted handover date before committing.

The verdict
Compound The Phoenix New Cairo combines three attributes that rarely appear together in the Fifth Settlement: a low-density phase of 14 blocks on 20 acres, the full facility set of a 454-acre Hassan Allam community, and fully finished units entered at a 5% down payment with 8 years to settle the balance. Buyers who want a villa will need to look elsewhere. Everyone else gets a move-in-ready home in a mature part of New Cairo.
