Signature Features & Resort-Style Amenities
What sets The Estates Residences apart in New Zayed is the presence of Nobu: the brand's Egyptian debut — hotel, residences and restaurant.

Social life is built around open spaces — BBQ hangouts, a dog park, food trucks and social buildings with lounge areas. With a footprint of just 17.5%, over 80% of the site is given to green spaces, parks and lakes.

Investment Potential
The Estates Residences sits in New Zayed, one of Cairo's highest-priced and fastest-growing submarkets, averaging around USD 2,100 per m² as of Q2 2025. Home values in El Sheikh Zayed have risen 24.7% since January 2024, and Knight Frank flags near-term supply constraints — just 8 project completions a year in 2026–2027 — as upward pressure on prices (Knight Frank, Destination Egypt 2025). The project format fits current demand: long 7–8-year developer payment plans lower the entry threshold and sustain primary-market liquidity, the main driver of activity in Cairo's new districts.
As of 2026:
- The Egyptian debut of Nobu Hotel, Residences and restaurant
- Low-density master plan — 17.5% building footprint on 115 acres
- El Sheikh Zayed home values up 24.7% since January 2024 (Knight Frank)
- Gross rental yields in Sheikh Zayed ~6.9–7.5% for apartments, up to 8–10% for villas (Global Property Guide, Aqarmap)
- 5% down payment with instalment plans of up to 8 years
- Full foreign ownership available under Law No. 230 of 1996 in approved investment zones
- Residency by investment: 1-year permit from USD 50K, 3-year from USD 100K, 5-year from USD 200K
