PX Compound 6th of October City

PX Mall 6th of October City: a townhouse for less than a large apartment

PX Mall 6th of October City is how many people search for PX, a residential community by Palm Hills Developments in 6th of October City on 373 feddans, planned for about 6,000 homes, with a retail area that gave it the "mall" in the search. On offer now are fully finished apartments from 60 m² starting at EGP 13,375,000 and three-bedroom townhouses from 232 m², with 5% down, up to 10 years of instalments, and handover in 2028.

The surprise is in the prices: the cheapest townhouse costs less than the largest three-bedroom apartment while giving you 60 m² more, and the apartments here cost far more per metre than anything around them. This page shows where the value is.

Who is PX for?

A first home with the Palm Hills name

The one-bedroom from 60 m² needs about 669,000 down, suited to a couple or a buyer who wants a small finished unit.

A family that wants a house

The townhouse from 232 m² is the best value in the project, if the higher instalment fits.

Someone who does not want to deal with contractors

The apartments are handed over fully finished, so you furnish and move in.

Someone working in West Cairo

The project's details put Nile University and New Giza University about 18 minutes away.

What is PX, and why "mall"?

PX is a full community, not a shopping centre. The project's details describe a master plan by Chapman Taylor, interiors by Alchemy, a five-star hotel, and a large retail area with international brands, which is the part people search for as "PX mall". Apartments make up about 80% of the planned homes, and the full plan also includes lofts, penthouses, duplexes and villas released over time. The site sits about 140 metres above sea level, so higher spots can look out over open ground.

The apartments: the dearest metre around

• One bedroom, 60 to 78 m²: from 13,375,000 to 14,963,000, about 222,900 per m² at the smallest.
• Two bedrooms, 113 to 140 m²: from 20,156,000 to 23,730,000, about 178,400 per m².
• Three bedrooms, 144 to 172 m²: from 25,866,000 to 31,264,000, about 179,600 per m².

The smallest one-bedroom has the dearest metre in the project. The 78 m² one-bedroom at 14,963,000 comes to about 191,800 a metre, so if you want one bedroom, the larger one gives 18 m² more for about 1.6 million. The two and three-bedrooms sit at almost the same metre, so choose them by the rooms you need, not by price.

The townhouses: the real value in PX

• Phase One, 3 bedrooms, 232 to 244 m²: from 29,029,000 to 30,123,000, about 125,100 per m², June 2028, 3 available.
• Phase Two, 3 bedrooms, 232 to 244 m²: from 33,211,000 to 33,915,000, about 143,200 per m², fully finished, December 2028, 3 available.

The Phase One townhouse is about 2.2 million cheaper than the largest three-bedroom apartment (172 m²), and about 60 m² larger, with a garden and two floors. Its metre is about 54,000 less than the apartments'. The catch is the plan: townhouses run over 7.5 years, not 10, so the instalment is much higher.

Phase One or Phase Two?

The same townhouse sizes cost about 4.2 million more in Phase Two. Phase Two is recorded as fully finished, while Phase One's finishing is not recorded with us. So ask what a Phase One townhouse is delivered with: if it needs finishing, part of the gap disappears.

The sums: 5% down

• One-bedroom, 10 years: 668,750 down, then about 105,900 a month.
• Two-bedroom, 10 years: 1,007,800 down, then about 159,600.
• Three-bedroom, 10 years: 1,293,300 down, then about 204,800.
• Phase One townhouse, 7.5 years: 1,451,450 down, then about 306,400.
• Phase Two townhouse, 7.5 years: 1,660,550 down, then about 350,600.

If the instalment is to stay within a third of household income, the one-bedroom needs about 318,000 a month, the three-bedroom about 614,000, and the Phase One townhouse about 919,000. These are approximate and before any increases; details are under payment plans.

Against the compounds around it

• Apartments: PX about 178,400 a metre for two bedrooms, Garden Lakes 98,500, Hyde Park Signature 95,200, Villagio 77,000, Club Hills Residence 75,300, Hay El Ashgar 55,400.
• Townhouses: Bamboo III about 140,300, PX from 125,100, Hyde Park Signature 122,800, Mountain View 4 116,200, Garden Lakes 113,700, Villagio 86,100.

So a PX apartment costs about 80% more per metre than Garden Lakes 2.5 km away. You pay for the Palm Hills name, full finishing, the hotel and the retail area. The townhouses, though, sit close to the market, in line with Hyde Park Signature and cheaper than Bamboo III from the same developer. If you want PX for the name, the townhouse is where that name costs least.

The phases

PX is sold in phases with their own pages: Phase One, with the apartments and townhouses, and Phase Two, with finished townhouses.

Handover in 2028

Phase One is due in June and Phase Two in December, so you will pay instalments for about two years before moving in. If you rent today, add that rent to your sums. On the apartments, the 10-year plan runs well past handover, so you will hold the keys while still paying.

The location and the developer

PX is in 6th of October City, with Mountain View 4 about 2.4 km away, Garden Lakes 2.5 km, Hyde Park Signature 2.8 km, Villagio 3.1 km and Bamboo III 3.4 km.
