Compound West Days October devotes only 15% of its 62 feddans to buildings, and that single decision shapes everything else on the site. IL Cazar Developments spread roughly 260,000 square metres of land across low-rise blocks that rise no higher than ground plus three floors, leaving more than 84% of the ground as landscape, water features and shared open space. Apartments start at EGP 4,600,000 for a 75 m² one-bedroom, and the whole scheme sits inside 6th of October City rather than on its outer fringe.

The pricing structure follows the same logic of low entry and long horizon. A buyer reserves with a refundable EGP 100,000 deposit, pays a down payment starting at 5% and settles the balance over ten years, which puts the first cash step near EGP 230,000 on the entry unit. Units hand over semi-finished, so the finishing budget stays under the owner’s control instead of being priced into the contract. That combination targets first-time buyers and mid-budget families more directly than it targets the villa market.

Why the 15% build ratio is the real headline

Most compounds launched in 6th of October City at this price tier commit between 20% and 30% of their land to construction. Compound West Days October commits 15%, which changes the arithmetic on the ground rather than only the brochure. Fewer buildings per feddan means wider gaps between blocks, longer sightlines from balconies and less pressure on internal roads, parking bays and service corridors during peak hours.

The visual consequence is that landscape becomes the default view for most units instead of the facade of the next block. IL Cazar allocated the freed land to planted areas, water channels and seating pockets rather than to additional phases, and the masterplan keeps buildings staggered so windows rarely face each other directly. Low density also carries a resale argument: within a district where competing projects deliver more units per acre, a scarcer unit type tends to hold its position better when supply expands.

Apartment and penthouse sizes inside the compound

The project carries apartments and penthouses only, with no villas, townhouses or twin houses in the mix. Sizes run from 75 m² to 185 m², which covers a single professional at one end and a family of five at the other. Every building holds two entrances and an underground garage beneath it, and penthouses occupy the top level above the G+3 stack.

Unit type	Bedrooms	Size (m²)	Installment price (EGP)	Average price per m² (EGP)
Apartment	1	75	4,600,000 to 4,800,000	62,500
Apartment	2	110 to 120	5,700,000 to 8,900,000	63,500
Apartment	3	134 to 185	7,500,000 to 11,900,000	62,500
Penthouse	1	95	8,300,000	87,500
Penthouse	2	99	7,600,000	77,000

The 75 m² one-bedroom carries the lowest entry price in the compound and suits individuals and couples buying their first unit. Two-bedroom apartments between 110 m² and 120 m² serve young families who want a second room without crossing the six-million threshold, and they form the widest price band in the project because floor level and view move the number considerably.

Three-bedroom apartments stretch from 134 m² to 185 m², a 51-metre spread that gives buyers real choice in how the living area and bedrooms are proportioned. Penthouses behave differently from the apartments below them. At 95 m² and 99 m² they are not the largest units in the compound, yet they command EGP 87,500 and EGP 77,000 per metre respectively, because the top-floor position delivers an uninterrupted view over the landscape and a terrace that no lower floor offers. Buyers paying that premium are paying for exposure, not for area.

How much does Compound West Days October cost?

Compound West Days October starts at EGP 4,600,000 for a 75 m² one-bedroom apartment, with an average price per metre from EGP 62,500, updated June 2026. Larger apartments reach EGP 11,900,000 at 185 m², while penthouses price between EGP 7,600,000 and EGP 8,300,000 depending on layout and floor position.

Two details matter when reading those figures. The first is that the per-metre averages sit within a narrow band of roughly EGP 62,500 to EGP 63,500 across all three apartment types, meaning the developer priced the units by area rather than loading a premium onto the larger layouts. The second is the second phase, now released. New phases in October launches typically carry updated pricing as construction advances and facilities come online, so buyers entering early hold a timing advantage over those who enter later, independent of which unit they pick.

Against the surrounding market, the entry point places the project in the middle of its class. Several 6th of October compounds currently open at between four and five million pounds for a comparable apartment, so the starting price is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive in the district. The differentiator sits in what the buyer receives per pound: a unit inside a 15% built-up scheme rather than a 25% one, at broadly the same price per metre.

Payment plans and the refundable reservation deposit

The payment structure keeps the cash barrier deliberately low. A buyer secures a unit with a reservation amount and then carries the balance over a decade, which spreads the cost across a period long enough to absorb salary growth and inflation on the installment side.

Down payment from 5% of the unit price, which lands near EGP 230,000 on the entry-level apartment.
Installments over up to 10 years on the remaining balance.
Reservation deposit of EGP 100,000, fully refundable if the buyer withdraws before signing the contract.
One-bedroom apartment of 75 m² from EGP 4,600,000.
Two-bedroom apartment of 110 m² to 120 m² from EGP 5,700,000.
Three-bedroom apartment of 134 m² to 185 m² averaging EGP 7,500,000.
Penthouse of 95 m² to 99 m² from EGP 7,600,000.

The refundable clause deserves more attention than it usually gets. It lets a hesitant buyer lock a specific unit and its current price while the decision is still open, then recover the full amount if the contract is not signed. That converts the reservation from a commitment into a low-risk hold on the price, which is useful in a market where launch pricing moves between phases.

Semi-finished handover and what it means for the budget

Units hand over semi-finished, delivered with plastering and base flooring in place while the final finish stays with the owner. For a buyer who needs to move in immediately, that is an added cost and an added project to manage after handover. For everyone else it works in the opposite direction: the finishing spend sits outside the unit price, falls due after delivery rather than inside the installment schedule, and lets the owner choose materials and specification against their own budget instead of accepting a developer package.

Practically, this means the total cost of ownership is the contract price plus a finishing budget the buyer controls. It also means the unit can be finished to a specification that matches the intended use, whether that is a long-hold rental with hard-wearing materials or an owner-occupied home with a higher specification. Buyers should confirm the finishing scope and the handover date in the reservation contract, since the signed document governs both.

Where is Compound West Days October located?

Compound West Days October sits in a central position inside 6th of October City, close to the Shooting Club and within reach of three main arteries: the Ring Road, the Central Axis and the 26th of July Corridor. Mall of Egypt, Mall of Arabia, 6th of October University and Dar Al Fouad Hospital all fall inside the immediate service radius.

The three-axis position is the practical value of the address. The Ring Road connects the compound to Greater Cairo, Giza and the airport corridor. The Central Axis distributes traffic inside October’s own districts, and the 26th of July Corridor shortens the run toward Sheikh Zayed, Mohandessin and central Giza. A resident who depends on a single artery is exposed whenever that artery jams. Three separate exits reduce that exposure, and the difference shows up daily rather than occasionally.

The service fabric around the site is already operating. Mall of Egypt and Mall of Arabia cover retail, dining and cinema within a short drive. 6th of October University and the Egyptian Japanese University for Science and Technology sit nearby on the education side, so a family with school-age or university-age children is not commuting out of the city. The 6th of October Club provides a sporting and social outlet outside the compound gates, and Dar Al Fouad Hospital, one of the larger medical facilities in West Cairo, covers healthcare. Sphinx International Airport lies roughly 7 km away, which matters for buyers who travel frequently.

6th of October City as a mature urban base

6th of October City carries a weight in the West Cairo map that newer satellite cities have not accumulated yet. It absorbs a steady flow of residents moving out of Cairo and Giza toward lower-density communities, and it does so on the back of universities, hospitals and retail centres that were completed over the course of years rather than promised in a masterplan.

That maturity separates this project from launches in cities where the surrounding infrastructure is still under construction. A buyer here starts living inside a service network that already functions, rather than waiting for it to arrive alongside the handover. The immediate surroundings also include completed residential communities such as Hayah Residence October and Gerian October, and that neighbouring stock works as a price and service reference. Established projects with operating facilities give a reading on where local values sit, and a cluster of compounds in one pocket means roads, utilities and retail have matured for the newest arrival to use from day one.

Architecture, masterplan and the ground-level experience

IL Cazar built the scheme on a G+3 template, ground floor plus three residential levels, with penthouse units crowning the stack. Each building carries two entrances rather than one, which halves the number of households sharing a lobby, a staircase and a lift core. The facades use a restrained palette of neutral tones that reflect rather than absorb light, softened by timber elements in the ceilings and in the outdoor seating.

Interiors were laid out to convert as much of the gross area into usable space as possible, with natural light and cross ventilation reaching every room. Because landscape covers more than 84% of the site, the outward view from most units falls on planting, water channels and walkways rather than on the neighbouring block. Underground parking sits beneath the buildings, which keeps cars off the internal streets and leaves the surface level to pedestrians, cyclists and planting. That single move is what makes a low build ratio legible on the ground instead of only on a site plan.

Amenities and daily services on site

The service package covers routine needs inside the gates, which reduces how often a resident has to leave the compound for ordinary errands. Facilities split across commercial, recreational, sporting and security categories.

A commercial strip with shops, restaurants and cafés serving day-to-day needs.
A clubhouse acting as the hub for social activity and family events.
Green space and landscaping covering more than 84% of the total area.
Open ground dedicated to walking, running and cycling routes.
Multiple artificial lakes and water features distributed through the site.
Underground parking that keeps internal streets clear of vehicles.
An integrated security system with surveillance cameras and gates staffed 24/7.

The amenity list is deliberately residential rather than resort-style. There is no hotel component and no large-scale entertainment anchor, which fits a compound whose selling point is quiet density rather than activity volume. Buyers who want a heavier leisure programme will find it in the surrounding city, three minutes to five minutes away by car.

IL Cazar Developments and its delivery record

IL Cazar Developments, founded in 2019 and chaired by Nader Khozam, developed the project. The company works across several Egyptian markets at once, with a live portfolio spanning New Cairo, the North Coast, New Alamein and Heliopolis, and it positions itself around sustainable development and generous open space, a stance the 15% build ratio here makes concrete.

Geographic spread is a useful signal when assessing a developer. A company running projects in New Cairo, on the North Coast and in New Alamein simultaneously is not a single-project entity, which reduces concentration risk relative to a developer whose entire balance sheet rests on one launch. It also gives a prospective buyer somewhere to look before signing. Visiting a delivered or under-construction IL Cazar project shows the actual build quality, the finish standard and the pace of work, which is a stronger basis for judgement than a rendering.

How the project reads as an investment

Three factors carry the investment case here, and each traces back to a stated fact rather than to a claim. The central position inside 6th of October City connects the compound to three separate arteries, which supports demand from both end users and tenants who commute in different directions. The 15% build ratio produces a unit profile that is genuinely scarce in this price band, and scarcity is what supports value when the district adds supply. The developer operates across four markets with a portfolio a buyer can inspect, which lowers execution risk relative to an untested launch.

The release of the second phase adds a timing dimension on top of those three. Early entrants typically hold a price differential over later buyers as construction progresses and facilities are commissioned, so when a buyer enters can matter as much as which unit they choose. The semi-finished handover contributes in a smaller way, since a buyer targeting rental income can specify durable finishes at a controlled cost instead of paying for a package built into the price.

On persona fit, the project suits individuals and families looking for a low-density unit in West Cairo with a budget opening near EGP 4.6 million, and it suits buyers who prefer to finish a unit to their own specification. It does not suit anyone who needs an immediate, fully finished handover, and it does not suit a villa buyer, because the entire product mix is apartments and penthouses. This analysis is guidance only and is not investment advice.
