DISTRICT 5 Compound New Cairo

District 5 apartments for sale in New Cairo start at EGP 11,285,000 for an 81 m² one-bedroom, on 10% down over 7 years, semi-finished and ready, at October 2026 prices. DISTRICT 5 is a mixed-use project by Marakez on 268 feddans in South New Cairo on the Ain Sokhna road, with homes, offices and services.

District 5 sells ready apartments from the developer on 7 years of instalments, so the question is which ready unit gives you the most space for the money.

Who buys at District 5?

District 5 buyers are families wanting to move in now on 7 years of instalments, investors wanting a ready unit to let, or companies needing an office on the Sokhna road.

Someone who wants to move in now and pay in instalments

The Plateau apartments and duplexes are ready, with 10% down and 7 years of instalments. So you stop paying rent and start paying an instalment at about the same time.

An investor wanting rent from the first month

A ready unit means rent can start straight away without waiting years. But note it is listed as semi-finished, so you will need to finish it first.

A family that needs three bedrooms and space

The ready duplex from 218 m² costs 24 million, and a three-bedroom apartment from 210 m² costs about the same. The difference between them is below.

A company needing a headquarters

Offices from 66 to 609 m² in two phases, some delivered fully finished.

Duplex or three-bedroom apartment?

At District 5 the 218 m² duplex at 24,051,000 is larger than the 210 m² Plateau three-bedroom and about 124,000 less, and both are ready, in October 2026.

• The duplex: from 218 m² at 24,051,000, about 110,300 per m², and ready.
• Three-bedroom in Plateau: from 210 m² at 24,175,000, about 115,100 per m², and ready.
• Three-bedroom in D Parks: 215 m² at 29,348,000, about 136,500 per m², and ready.

The duplex is 8 m² larger than the Plateau apartment and about 124,000 less, both are ready and both have three bedrooms. The D Parks apartment is more than 5 million above either. So if stairs inside the home do not bother you, the duplex gives the most space for the money among the family units.

Two-bedroom: Plateau or D Parks?

The two-bedroom is the most offered unit, and it comes in two phases:

• Plateau: from 126 m² at 14,216,000, about 112,800 per m², 10% down and 7 years of instalments.
• D Parks: from 130 m² at 15,884,000, about 122,200 per m², about 6% down and 8 years of instalments.

Plateau is about 1.67 million less for only 4 m² less. But D Parks has a lower deposit and a year more of instalments, so the monthly instalment is similar. If you have little cash, D Parks. If you count the total price, Plateau.

One-bedroom: is it worth it?

The one-bedroom from 81 m² costs 11,285,000, about 139,300 per m², the highest-priced metre among the apartments. The two-bedroom from 126 m² costs 14,216,000. So 2.93 million more gets you 45 m² and another room. The one-bedroom makes sense only if your budget cannot reach the two-bedroom, or if you are buying to let to a single person.

The loft

There is a 200 m² two-bedroom loft at 24,885,000. Against the 218 m² ready duplex at 24,051,000, the loft is smaller, higher in price and has one room fewer, so it is for someone who likes the loft design itself, not for the sums. Ask sales for its handover date in writing.

Offices: Campus or Mindhaus?

District 5 offices come in two phases, Campus and Mindhaus, at about 253,300 to 254,700 per m² in October 2026; they differ in finish, term and handover.

• Campus: from 66 m² at 16,720,000, about 253,300 per m², fully finished, 10% down and 7 years of instalments, handed over January 2029.
• Mindhaus: from 101 m² at 25,720,000, about 254,700 per m², semi-finished, 5 years of instalments, handed over June 2027.

The price per metre is about the same. Campus is finished, with a longer term and smaller starting sizes, while Mindhaus is handed over a year and a half earlier. Against the area: Katameya Creeks about 220,000, VX 90 about 181,800 and Axle about 177,900. So District 5's offices are at the top of the market.

Semi-finished: how to count it

A unit delivered semi-finished needs work before you live in it or let it: floors, bathrooms, kitchen, paint and air conditioning. That takes months and money that vary with the level you want. So when you compare District 5's ready duplex with a finished unit elsewhere, add the finishing cost to the duplex's price first, then compare. It also delays the first rent if you are buying to invest.

What income does the instalment suit?

If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• One-bedroom in Plateau: EGP 1,128,500 down and an instalment of about 120,900 a month, so an income of around 363,000.
• Two-bedroom in Plateau: EGP 1,421,600 down and an instalment of about 152,300, so an income of around 457,000.
• Two-bedroom in D Parks: EGP 998,250 down and an instalment of about 155,100, so an income of around 465,000.
• The duplex: EGP 2,405,100 down and an instalment of about 257,700, so an income of around 773,000.

These are approximate and before any increases; the details are under payment plans.

District 5 against its neighbours

District 5 apartments run from about 112,800 per m², below Katameya Creeks and above Stone Residence and Rock Vera, in October 2026.

• Apartments: District 5 from about 112,800, Katameya Creeks about 180,000, Stone Residence about 77,800 and Rock Vera about 72,800.
• Duplexes: District 5 about 110,300, SQ1 about 140,900 and Stone Park about 78,000.

District 5 sits in the middle: well below Katameya Creeks and above Stone and Rock Vera. But the difference is that here you take the keys now, while most of its neighbours are still being built. So part of the price gap pays for years of rent you will not pay, and for seeing the unit and the project with your own eyes before buying, not a model.

The location: on the Sokhna road

The project is in South New Cairo directly on the Ain Sokhna road, about 7 minutes from 90th Street, 8 from the American University, 13 from Maadi and 19 from Cairo Airport. So it is close to both New Cairo and Maadi, and the first stretch of your weekend drive to Sokhna. See it under location, or browse the other projects on the South New Cairo page.

Who is Marakez?

Among Marakez's projects are Crescent Walk in the 6th Settlement and Ramla on the coast. The advantage of District 5 is that phases of it are ready, so you can see its work with your own eyes before paying.
