The 8 Project Green Belt 6th of October City

The 8 Project Green Belt 6th of October City: the villa's instalment is only 8,600 a month above the townhouse's

The 8 Project Green Belt 6th of October City is by El Gabry Developments on about 80 feddans in the Green Belt, and many search for it as "The 8 New Zayed". Everything on offer now is in The 8 Extension: three-bedroom townhouses and villas, due October 2030. The villas cost about 5.7 million more than the townhouse, yet their monthly instalment is only about 8,600 pounds higher, thanks to the payment plan.

The 8 prices

• A three-bedroom townhouse on 253 m² at 14,193,300 (a metre near 56,100), with 5% down (709,665) over 8 years.
• Three-bedroom villas, sized 268 through 312 m², between 19,870,000 and 21,246,628 (first metre about 74,100), with 10% down (1,987,000) over 10 years.

Why are the instalments so close?

The townhouse runs over 8 years, so about 140,500 a month; the villa over 10, so about 149,000. The villa's two extra years absorb most of the price gap in the monthly payment. The real difference is the deposit: 709,665 for the townhouse against 1,987,000 for the villa, about 1.28 million more cash up front. If your deposit allows, the villa's instalment is within reach of anyone who can carry the townhouse.

At handover

October 2030 is about four years away. For the townhouse that is half the term, so you move in having paid about 52% of the price; for the villa it is 40% of the term, so about 46%. The villa leaves more to pay after handover, over six years against four for the townhouse.

The 8 against IRA

IRA, by the same developer a kilometre away, has a 268 m² three-bedroom villa at 21,450,000, about 1.58 million above The 8's villa of the same size. IRA's 250 m² townhouse costs 16,525,000, about 2.3 million above The 8's while 3 m² smaller. In return, IRA hands over in April 2029, a year and a half earlier, with villas on just 7 years. So The 8 is cheaper with a longer plan, IRA closer to handover.

Against villas in the area

The 8's villa runs about 74,100 a metre. Around it: Elevation, 4.3 km away, about 79,900; Rafts about 109,800; villas at Mountain View iCity about 164,000. So The 8 is among the cheapest new villas in this area.

A resale offer

In October 2026 one owner listed a 51 m² commercial unit at 6.025 million. Ask whether that is the full price or the amount paid so far, as the project isn't due until 2030.

The 8 master plan

Per the developer: buildings cover about 15% of the 80 feddans, the rest services, greenery and water. There is a mall, pools, more than one clubhouse, a kids' area and walking paths. Nearby are the King Polo Club, Cairo International University, Mall of Arabia, Sphinx Airport, plus the road links to Dahshur, Wahat and the 26th of July corridor.
