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 20 feddans in its first phase 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 lower-priced 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's villa metre sits below these neighbours.

The 8 master plan

Buildings at The 8 cover about 15% of the land, the rest services, greenery and water. Since everything on offer now is in The 8 Extension, ask which part your unit is in and what it faces.

The 8 amenities

The 8's announced amenities include pools, a health club, spa and gym, sports courts, tracks, restaurants and cafés, a children's area, lakes, security and cameras. Ask what will be running in October 2030, and what the service charges are.

The 8 location

The 8 is in the Green Belt under 6th of October, close to Mall of Arabia, Sphinx Airport and the Dahshur Link, and people search for it as part of New Zayed. All the area's projects are on Green Belt compounds.

The 8 pros and cons

The pros of The 8 in October 2026: the villa metre is about 74,100, below Elevation (79,900), and the instalment gap between townhouse and villa is only about 8,600 a month. Its 268 m² villa is about 1.58 million below the same size at IRA.

The cons of The 8: the date is October 2030, a year and a half after IRA (April 2029), finishing is not announced in the October 2026 table, and the offer is one townhouse and three-bedroom villas only, with no flats and no villa over 312 m².
