Mountain View 1.1 New Cairo

Mountain View 1.1 New Cairo: the duplex is the deal

Mountain View 1.1 New Cairo is the extension of Mountain View 1 in North Investors, on 65 feddans by Mountain View. On offer are apartments, duplexes, townhouses and villas, the cheapest a 140 m² three-bedroom apartment at EGP 16,586,259, with deposits from 15% to 20% and 7 years of instalments, and the earliest handover this December.

The project does not start from scratch. Right next to it is Mountain View 1, built and lived in for years, so services and daily life are already there. The apartments, duplexes and townhouses are handed over finished. But the price gaps between types are very large, and one type is clearly better value than the rest.

Who is Mountain View 1.1 for?

The architecture is the company's American style: simple lines, calm colours, and every unit looking onto a green valley or water.

A family that wants a large, finished space at a reasonable price

The 3-bedroom duplex starts at 215 m², finished, handed over in July 2027, at a price very close to the apartment, as you will see. It is the choice we recommend to most families here.

A family that wants a house with a garden as soon as possible

The 210 m² townhouse is finished and handed over this December, and the villas this December and in February. But the price here is far higher, as you will see.

An investor who wants rent early, from 2027

A finished duplex in North Investors near El Rehab and 90th Street starts earning rent as soon as it is handed over. A large space at close to an apartment's price raises the return on your money, since rent follows size and location. But work it out on actual area rents before deciding, and remember a 20% deposit means more money tied up at the start.

Someone who wants to live beside a lived-in compound with working services

With Mountain View 1 next door and lived in for years, you will not wait for the area to mature. Schools, shops and services are around you from the day you move in, the roads are built and the neighbours are there. That is very different from a new compound in an area still being built, where you might wait years for services to start.

Duplex, apartment or townhouse?

This is the key comparison in the project, and it saves millions:

• The duplex against the three-bedroom apartment: the apartment is 140 m² at EGP 16,586,259 and the duplex 215 m² at EGP 21,454,600. So 75 m² more cost only EGP 4,868,341, about EGP 65,000 per extra metre, less than the square metre of any type in the whole project.
• The duplex against the townhouse: the townhouse is 210 m² at EGP 39,587,314, almost the same size as the duplex, and about 18.1 million more. That gap is the price of the garden, a ground-floor house and handover seven months earlier.
• Price per metre: the duplex about 99,800, the project's cheapest square metre; the apartment about 118,500; the townhouse about 188,500; and the villas about 215,000 to 217,000.

The upshot: the duplex gives you a whole house's space at close to an apartment's price, finished. If a garden is not essential, the duplex saves you more than 18 million against the townhouse.

How to choose the right duplex of the seven

The duplexes run from 215 to 255 m², the dearest at EGP 27,734,041, a gap of about 6.3 million within one type that comes from size, floor and view. These are what to look at:

• The view: a duplex facing the green valley or water costs more but lets and sells faster.
• The floor: a ground-floor duplex may have a small garden and an upper one a roof. Ask what each has.
• The size: work out each unit's price per metre separately, because the largest is not always the dearest per metre.

Villas: three bedrooms or four?

The 3-bedroom villa starts at 255 m² for EGP 55,414,848 and is handed over this December; the 4-bedroom starts at 285 m² for EGP 61,307,440 and is handed over in February after that. So 30 m² and an extra room cost about 5.9 million, plus two more months of waiting. If your family needs the fourth room, the difference is reasonable. Otherwise the 3-bedroom gives you the same standard of villa, sooner.

Deposit and instalments in Mountain View 1.1

The deposit here is higher than most projects: 20% for apartments, duplexes and townhouses, 15% for villas, with 7 years of instalments. So you need substantial cash up front:

• Apartment: EGP 3,317,252 down, and an instalment of about EGP 158,000 a month, so an income of around 474,000.
• Duplex: EGP 4,290,920 down, and an instalment of about EGP 204,300, so an income of around 613,000.
• Townhouse: EGP 7,917,463 down, and an instalment of about EGP 377,000, so an income of around 1.13 million.
• 3-bedroom villa: EGP 8,312,227 down, and an instalment of about EGP 560,700, so an income of around 1.68 million.

A large deposit has an upside: the monthly instalment is lower than with 5% down on the same price. These are approximate and before any increases; the details are under payment plans.

Mountain View 1.1 phases

• Phase 2: from EGP 16,586,259, with the apartments and duplexes.
• The Park: from EGP 55,414,848, with the villas.

Mountain View 1.1 against its neighbours

Using the price per m² of the cheapest unit of the same type in nearby projects:

• Duplexes: Mountain View 1.1 about 99,800; Ninety Avenue about 123,400; Fifth Square Al Marasem about 127,600; Lush Valley about 89,200.
• Apartments: Mountain View 1.1 about 118,500; Avelin about 78,200; Kin about 72,000.
• Townhouses: Mountain View 1.1 about 188,500; Zomra East about 139,000; Creektown about 136,700.

The duplex here sits mid-market despite being finished and next to a lived-in compound, which confirms it is the best choice. The apartments, townhouses and villas are dearer than most neighbours, a gap that pays for finishing, the Mountain View name and early handover.

North Investors: why this location?

North Investors is one of New Cairo's most sought-after areas because it is close to everything: both North and South 90th Street and the Tahrir axis are minutes away, El Rehab 5 minutes and the American University about 10. The New Administrative Capital is 20 minutes away and Mostakbal City half an hour.

Around you are established compounds such as El Rehab, Acacia and The Waterway, so this is built-up fabric, not an extension still under construction. See it under location, or browse the other projects on the New Cairo page.

Who is the developer of Mountain View 1.1?

Mountain View is the developer, and Mountain View 1 right next to the project is the clearest evidence of its work, since it has been lived in for years and you can walk in and see it. In New Cairo it also has Mountain View iCity and Executive Residence.

Things to know before you book

• The types here are an apartment, duplexes, townhouses and villas, each on its own handover date, so pick your type first and ask what is on sale in it.
• The deposit is 15% to 20%, so have substantial cash ready before booking, plus the maintenance deposit for units handed over this December.
• The villas' finishing is not recorded with us; the apartments, duplexes and townhouses are finished. Ask for the specification in writing.
• Read the pros and cons and the amenities above.
