IRA Compound 6th of October City

IRA Compound 6th of October City: a detached villa for 810,000 over the twin, on a metre above the neighbours

IRA Compound 6th of October City holds houses only, built by El Gabry Developments, on close to 20.5 feddans (over 86,000 m²) in the Northern Expansion. Many people look for it as "IRA New Zayed". Every house on sale has three bedrooms, whether it is a townhouse, a twin or a detached villa, and El Gabry announces the keys for April 2029, roughly thirty months off. Below we work out the gaps between the three, what you will have paid by the keys, and how each type sets against houses of its kind around October and Zayed.

IRA Compound prices in October 2026

IRA Compound developer prices start at EGP 16,525,000 for the townhouse, and these are the three types at Masharf (Keller Williams Masharf):

• Townhouse, 250 m²: 16,525,000, near 66,100 a metre, on 10% down and eight years.
• Twin house, 266 m²: 20,640,000, about 77,600 a metre, same down payment and term.
• Detached villa, 268 to 338 m²: 21,450,000 to 27,570,000, roughly 80,000 to 81,600 a metre, also 10% down but over seven years.

No finishing level is published for any of the three, so ask about it first: a neighbour like Elevation lists semi-finished houses, and a price per metre compared without that is half a comparison.

IRA sizes: a 250 m² townhouse to a 338 m² villa

IRA Compound has three house types, all with three bedrooms: a 250 m² townhouse, a 266 m² twin and a detached villa of 268 to 338 m². Alternatives are in townhouses for sale in the Northern Expansion and villas for sale in the Northern Expansion.

Townhouse to twin: 4.1 million for 16 m²

The twin is only 16 m² bigger than the townhouse and about 4.12 million higher in price. Spread over the extra area, that is more than 257,000 a metre, which tells you nothing. What you are buying is one shared wall instead of two. Ask for the plot area of each before deciding, because with houses the built metre is never the whole story.

Twin to villa: a short step

The smallest detached villa is 268 m² at 21.45 million, so about 810,000 above the twin for two more metres. If your budget stretches to the twin, the villa is a short step further on price. The real difference is the plan: seven years instead of eight. The villa's deposit is 2,145,000 against the twin's 2,064,000, only 81,000 apart, yet its instalment runs near 229,800 against 193,500, some 36,300 more every month.

Among the villas: 70 m² for 6.12 million

Going from the 268 m² villa to the 338 m² villa buys 70 m² and costs about 6.12 million more; each of those metres works out near 87,400, a little over what the villa itself charges per metre. That one needs 2,757,000 down and roughly 295,400 a month for seven years. Unless you need the space, the small villa is the better buy on both metre and instalment.

IRA Compound payment plan: thirty instalments before the keys

The IRA Compound payment plan is 10% down, over 8 years for the townhouse and twin and 7 years for the villa. With roughly 30 months to the end of April 2029, this is what each will have cost you on handover day:

The price gap between twin and villa is EGP 810,000, but by the keys the villa asks nearly 1.17 million more from you, because its plan is a year shorter.

An IRA townhouse, or The 8, Roudy and West End?

IRA's townhouse metre is about 66,100; the townhouses around it in the Northern Expansion and Zayed sit between roughly 52,000 and 57,000. That puts IRA some 9,000 to 14,000 a metre higher:

• The 8, same developer, a kilometre away, sells 253 m² near 14.19 million, so around 2.33 million less for 3 m² more. It books at only 5% (709,665) and runs about 140,500 a month over eight years, but its keys are due October 2030, eighteen months after IRA.
• Roudy, 3.2 km off: 260 m² for 14.85 million, about 1.68 million cheaper and 10 m² larger, on 742,500 down and some 117,600 a month over ten years, with keys six months after IRA.
• Elevation in El Sheikh Zayed, 3.4 km away, asks 15 million for 286 m², so 36 m² more and about 1.53 million less. It is listed semi-finished; instalments come near 140,600 for eight years, with keys in August 2029.
• West End, 3.6 km off: from 240 m² near 13.68 million, roughly 2.84 million cheaper for 10 m² less, about 102,600 a month over ten years, due the same month as Roudy.
• V levels, 4.1 km away, breaks the pattern. Its townhouse is smaller, 229 m², and dearer, near 19.51 million or about 2.99 million over IRA, but it hands over in December 2027, sixteen months earlier.

On the figures, IRA's townhouse has one edge: a nearer date than The 8, Roudy and West End. Its instalment is also the heaviest of those, since the term is eight years rather than Roudy's and West End's ten, and the deposit 10% rather than the 5% at The 8 and Roudy.

An IRA twin, or Elevation and Park Valley?

IRA's twin is EGP 20,640,000 for 266 m², about 77,600 a metre, between Elevation's metre and V levels':

• Elevation: a 336 m² four-bedroom twin at 24 million, 3.36 million above IRA's twin for 70 m² and a fourth bedroom. Its metre is about 71,400 against 77,600 here, it is listed semi-finished, and it runs about 225,000 a month over eight years.
• Park Valley in New Zayed, 3.4 km away: a 350 m² four-bedroom twin for 13 million, some 7.64 million below IRA's and 84 m² bigger, near 37,100 a metre, under half IRA's. Its plan runs 14 years, about 69,600 a month. A gap that wide needs explaining: ask about finishing, plot size and where the house sits in the project.
• V levels: a 270 m² twin near 25.41 million, about 4.77 million more, with a quarter down (6,353,500) and the rest over four years, but keys in December 2027.

An IRA villa, or The 8, Rafts and Zayard Villa?

IRA's smallest villa is EGP 21,450,000 for 268 m², above The 8 and below Rafts:

• The 8: its villas start at 268 m², the same size as IRA's smallest, near 19.87 million, about 1.58 million less. Its 312 m² villa, at around 21.25 million, still costs less than IRA's smallest while adding 44 m². The plan there runs ten years, close to 149,000 a month, roughly 80,800 below IRA. The price of all that is a year and a half more waiting.
• Rafts, 3.7 km off, is clearly dearer. Its three-bedroom villa has only 215 m² yet asks 25.8 million (120,000 a metre), and its four-bedroom on 410 m² asks 45 million. Its smallest villa costs about 4.35 million more than IRA's smallest and is 53 m² smaller.
• Zayard Villa in New Zayed, 3.9 km away, lists 390 m² for 14 million, under 36,000 a metre. Its announced date passed in August and no payment plan is published, so ask how far the building has got and whether that figure is cash.
• Elevation's five-bedroom villa on 438 m² costs 35 million. Per metre that is about 79,900, level with IRA's smallest villa, though it is semi-finished and 100 m² bigger than the 338 m² villa here.

For scale, the villas at Mountain View iCity October, 2.4 km from IRA, begin at 385 m² for close to 63.16 million; their metre, about 164,000, is over double IRA's.

El Gabry's projects around IRA

El Gabry Developments has two more projects around IRA: The 8 Compound a kilometre away, and Lac Ville Compound. Between IRA and The 8, IRA is priced higher in every type and hands over eighteen months sooner, while The 8 has lighter instalments if you can wait until late 2030. The 8 lists no twin.
