Soto Residence Compound New Cairo

Soto Residence Compound New Cairo is a new apartment project by Dolmen Developments in New Cairo, with a 17-feddan phase. In October 2026 prices start at EGP 4,400,000 for an 88 m² unit, with 10% down and equal instalments over 10 years.

A young family looking for its first apartment in the Fifth Settlement needs two things: a down payment that does not wipe out its savings, and a long term that fits a salary. Soto Residence comes close: EGP 440,000 down and about 33,000 a month over 10 years. Below, the confirmed sizes are worked out and set against New Cairo apartments on a similar budget.

How much is Soto Residence in October 2026?

Soto Residence prices in October 2026 are EGP 4,400,000 for an 88 m² unit and 7,200,000 for a 150 m² three-bedroom, with 10% down over 10 years. Two-bedrooms of about 122 to 125 m² and penthouses from 240 m² are also offered, prices unconfirmed. This is what Masharf (Keller Williams Masharf) holds:

Soto Residence apartments: from 88 to 150 m²

Two sources put one-bedrooms from 65 m², while the EGP 4,400,000 price is for an 88 m² unit, so a smaller, cheaper one-bedroom may exist; ask on WhatsApp at 01270970000 for the 65 m² price and the bedroom count of the 88 m² unit. The 150 m² three-bedroom costs 2,800,000 more than the 88 m² unit for 62 extra square metres, about 45,160 per added metre, below the smaller unit's own metre of 50,000, and about 21,000 more a month. That makes the three-bedroom metre (48,000) the better value for a growing family.

Soto Residence payment plan: what does each year cost?

The Soto Residence payment plan is 10% down and the rest in equal instalments over 10 years, 120 in all, with a refundable EGP 100,000 reservation, in October 2026.

With the instalment at a third of income, the 88 m² unit needs a household income of about EGP 99,000 a month and the three-bedroom about 162,000. Each year adds about 9% of the price on top of the down payment: 19% paid by the end of year one (EGP 836,000 on the 88 m², 1,368,000 on the 150 m²), 37% by year three (1,628,000 and 2,664,000), 55% by year five (2,420,000 and 3,960,000), 73% by year seven (3,212,000 and 5,256,000) and the full price by year ten. Some sources mention a 5% down plan, so ask whether it exists and over how many years. Sources differ on the handover date, so it is not given here; have the month and year written into the contract.

Letting it: the rent that covers the instalment

To cover the 88 m² unit's instalment of about 33,000, rent would need to be about EGP 375 per m² a month; the three-bedroom needs about 360 (54,000 ÷ 150), slightly less per metre.

Soto Residence or another three-bedroom in New Cairo?

Soto Residence's three-bedroom metre (about 48,000) is above Livyn, Rovia and SIGHT Boutique (38,000 to 40,600) and below Talda, La Mirada and Red (51,400 to 64,000), at October 2026 prices.

Nakheel's Livyn in El Shorouk runs the same plan as Soto (10% over 10 years): a 148 m² three-bedroom at EGP 5,700,000 at about 42,750 a month, handing over in October 2029. Soto's 150 m² costs 1,500,000 more, about 11,250 a month more; the gap is the price of a New Cairo address rather than El Shorouk. La Mirada in Mostakbal City has a ready, semi-finished 142 m² three-bedroom at 7,897,000, close to Soto's 150 m², but its 20% down payment (1,579,400) against Soto's 720,000 means Soto saves about 859,000 up front, in exchange for waiting for handover.

In Beit El Watan, Rovia sells a 156 m² apartment at EGP 6,334,000, 866,000 below Soto's 150 m² and 6 m² larger, with a stated 2029 handover but heavier quarterly instalments; SIGHT Boutique's 151 m² is 5,738,000, 1,462,000 below Soto, though its plan is unconfirmed. Soto costs more than both, in return for a known 10-year plan with equal monthly instalments.

Where is Soto Residence, and who is Dolmen?

Soto Residence is in New Cairo, with a phase of 17 feddans (about 71,400 m²), developed by Dolmen Developments. Its exact location is not confirmed by two sources, so ask for the pin before visiting.

Dolmen also has The Pier Mall and Midway Plaza in R3 in the New Capital. Soto is its first residential project with a price on Masharf, so ask which projects it has delivered, and request the building permit and land contract before paying the down payment.

Soto Residence pros and cons

Soto Residence's main advantage is 10% down over 10 years in New Cairo; its main drawback is that the handover date and the prices of two-bedrooms and penthouses are not confirmed, in October 2026.

• Pro: an 88 m² unit at about EGP 33,000 a month.
• Pro: a refundable EGP 100,000 reservation.
• Pro: a three-bedroom metre (48,000) below the smaller unit's.
• Con: a higher metre than similar apartments in El Shorouk and Beit El Watan.
• Con: the handover date differs between sources.
• Con: two-bedroom, penthouse and 65 m² one-bedroom prices unconfirmed.

Before booking, ask on WhatsApp at 01270970000 and keep the dated written replies: whether a 5% plan exists, the prices of the 65 m² one-bedroom, two-bedrooms and penthouses, the handover date, the finish, the exact location, and the building permit and land contract.
