Grand Residence Compound New Cairo

Grand Residence compound: Sabbour's finished townhouses and villas by the American University

Grand Residence compound, also searched as "the Grand Residence", is a houses-only community by Al Ahly Sabbour Developments on 60 feddans, about 252,000 m², in the Fifth Settlement, New Cairo. It is finished: every unit recorded with us is past its handover date, four-bedroom townhouses of 282 to 320 m², a five-bedroom townhouse of 350 m², and seven-bedroom villas of 450 to 1,050 m². The developer has no priced units on offer now, so buying here today means resale from an owner, and the resale prices are in the price table on this page.

No apartments are recorded here, only houses. This page explains what Grand Residence has, how to choose a house, and what to check before buying from an owner.

Unit types in Grand Residence

• Townhouse, 4 bedrooms, 282 to 320 m²: fully finished.
• Townhouse, 5 bedrooms, 350 m²: fully finished.
• Villa, 7 bedrooms, 450 to 1,050 m²: finishing differs by villa.

What unit types are available in Grand Residence? Townhouses and villas are recorded with us; the project's details also mention twin houses and semi-attached villas. The townhouses here are very large: even the four-bedroom starts at 282 m², bigger than many villas in new projects. The villas vary hugely, from 450 m² to more than double that, so compare by area and plot, not by rooms.

Townhouse or villa?

The 350 m² five-bedroom townhouse is fully finished and gives a big family everything it needs, at lower running costs than a villa. A villa gives you a detached house with a larger garden and more privacy, but many here need finishing and cost much more to run each year. If the family is large but the budget is counted, the big townhouse is usually the wiser choice.

Grand Residence prices and payment plans

What are the payment plans in Grand Residence? The developer has no priced units on offer, so no developer price or plan is recorded with us. The prices owners are asking are in the resale price table on this page, updated monthly. On resale, the owner may still owe Sabbour instalments, so ask for a statement from the developer and agree in writing who pays the rest.

A ready house here or a new one nearby?

Using the cheapest unit's price per metre in new projects close by: for townhouses, El Patio Town about 144,700, handover 2028, and Riverton about 91,500, handover 2029. For villas, El Patio Town about 212,400, El Patio Town Side about 162,900 and V40 about 109,600. Divide the owner's price by the area and compare, then add the rent you would pay while waiting for a new house.

Grand Residence club house and amenities

According to the project's details, Grand Residence has a clubhouse with entertainment facilities, which serves as the community's meeting place, plus gardens and landscaping, water features, a commercial area with shops, a kids' area, maintenance and cleaning, security, parking and gardening. See the amenities section for what is recorded.

Grand Residence photos

The gallery and master plan are at the top of this page. Since the compound is finished, the best view is a visit: see the house, its street, and how far it is from the clubhouse and the shops.

The running costs of a house

A large house costs money after purchase: the compound's annual maintenance, the garden, air conditioning and electricity. A 1,000 m² villa costs far more each month than a 282 m² townhouse. Ask the management for the exact service charge, and ask a neighbour what they spend.

Negotiating with the owner

Resale has no price list. Check the resale table on this page, and ask how long the owner has been selling. A house on green space or near the clubhouse usually costs more. Judge the finishing yourself and take any repairs off the price.

For investment

A ready house near the American University can be let from the first month to families, staff and companies on long contracts. Work out the return with real rents for similar houses in the compound, minus maintenance and empty months.

Questions to ask residents

We have no complaints recorded about Grand Residence, so ask for yourself: maintenance and its cost, security, and traffic around the university at term time. A neighbour's answer is worth more than any brochure.

Buying resale safely

• Contract: see the original contract with Sabbour and the owner's proof of ownership.
• Transfer: ask about the transfer fee before agreeing a price.
• Maintenance: confirm fees are paid up to date.
• Inspection: check the roof, insulation, plumbing, electrics and garden, with an engineer for a large house.
