Katameya 40 Compound New Cairo

Katameya 40 compound in New Cairo, also written Katameya Forty and K40, is an apartment project by Katameya Group (formerly Starlight Developments) in the Fifth Settlement, next to Mountain View 1.1 and close to North 90th Street. Apartments start at EGP 10,000,000 for one bedroom, with 5% down and instalments of up to 9 years, in October 2026, all finished with air conditioning. Masharf (Keller Williams Masharf) checked these figures across more than one dated source.

Katameya Group posted the KF40 Katameya Forty mark with "Launching Soon" on its own account on 22 October 2026, beside its other projects, so the name comes from the company itself. The project is still taking expressions of interest, so you pay a refundable reservation before any contract. It comes from the company behind Katameya Heights and Katameya Dunes, a name long tied to villas and golf. So the question here is whether the Katameya name justifies this price per metre for an apartment, against the neighbours around it.

Katameya 40 prices

Katameya 40 prices in October 2026 start at EGP 10,000,000 for one bedroom, 13,000,000 for two, 17,000,000 for three and 23,000,000 for four. These figures repeat on several sites dated 24 to 29 October 2026.

If you see 11, 14, 18 and 24 million, those are average prices rather than first prices, so the two sets do not conflict. The per-metre column is a rough sum on the average size, and it shows the one-bedroom carries the highest metre in the project, about EGP 15,000 above the two-bedroom.

Katameya 40 down payment and payment plans

Katameya 40 offers two plans: 5% down plus 5% after 3 months with the rest over 8 years, or 10% down plus 5% after 3 months with the rest over 9 years. So in the first 3 months you pay 10% or 15% of the price.

The monthly average is the balance divided by the months, and some lists show quarterly instalments, so ask for the schedule. On the two-bedroom, paying EGP 650,000 more at the start lowers the average by EGP 19,560 a month and adds one year to the plan.

Katameya 40 reservation

The Katameya 40 reservation is a refundable EGP 250,000 in most sources we read in late October 2026, while one site writes 100,000. This is an expression of interest, not a contract.

Before you pay, ask how and when the money comes back, whether it counts towards the down payment, and whether payment order sets your choice of unit. We get these terms in writing for you.

Where is Katameya 40?

Katameya 40 compound is in the heart of the Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, next to Mountain View 1.1 and W55 Mall and about 3 minutes from North 90th Street. Sites put Golden Square at 5 minutes and the American University at 10 minutes.

This is a built-up area, so you can see the neighbours and the street before you book. Because lived-in compounds surround it, drive the route at 8 in the morning before you count the distance to work or to your children's school. All the area's projects are on the New Cairo compounds page.

Who is the developer of Katameya 40?

The Katameya 40 developer is Katameya Group, formerly Starlight Developments, and many sites still write Starlight. It is the same developer as Katameya Dunes, Katameya Heights and Katameya Creeks.

The difference is that Katameya 40 is apartments only, with no villas. To judge the company's apartments, visit Katameya Creeks: two bedrooms from 161 m² at EGP 28,980,000 in October 2026, ready, with 10% down over 5 years. Katameya 40 is a far lower way into the same name, on a smaller unit.

Apartments in Katameya 40

Katameya 40 compound has apartments only, from one to four bedrooms, and no villas. Published sizes are from 90 m² for one bedroom, 120 to 147 m² for two, 150 to 180 m² for three, and from 200 m² for four.

• Finishing: units come finished with air conditioning, so there is no finishing budget on top of the price. Ask for the finishing level and appliances in the contract.
• One bedroom: the highest metre in the project and the lowest total, a choice for someone entering at the Katameya name to let.
• Two bedrooms: the lowest metre on average size, with the widest range: 27 m² between smallest and largest.
• Three bedrooms: priced very close to the Mountain View 1.1 apartments next door, but with a later handover.

Katameya 40 or Mountain View 1.1 or Kin?

Katameya 40 is priced above most new apartments around it, though its three-bedroom sits close to Mountain View 1.1 next door. These are developer apartments within about 3 km in October 2026.

The table says two things. For about the price of a Katameya 40 one-bedroom, you get three bedrooms of 144 m² in Kin, with handover in April 2030. To move in early, Jayd has a ready three-bedroom at EGP 11,960,000, semi-finished. A Katameya 40 buyer pays for full finishing, the name and the spot next to Mountain View.

Why the handover date and maintenance deposit are not stated here

The Katameya 40 handover date differs between sources in October 2026, so we will not print one until it is confirmed. The same applies to the maintenance deposit and the land area.

What you need is simple: the date written in the contract by month and year, with the penalty for delay, and the deposit written as a figure with its due date. It changes the sums, because the deposit is a single payment on top of the price, so it belongs in your budget now, while you weigh the 8-year plan against the 9-year one.

Before you register interest in Katameya 40

• Ask what you must pay at allocation, not only the first price.
• Ask about the building and floor, since a first price belongs to the lowest unit on the list.
• Ask for the licence or land decision before contract.
• If you plan to let, work out rent against the full price, not the down payment.
