The Square Compound New Cairo

The Square compound: Sabbour's finished homes in the Fifth Settlement, with a mall at the gate

The Square compound, sometimes typed "the square compund", is a mixed-use community by Al Ahly Sabbour Developments on 420,000 m² in the Fifth Settlement, New Cairo. Its homes are finished: apartments of three and four bedrooms, a penthouse, townhouses and twin houses, all past their handover dates. Its commercial part is finishing now, with a 34 m² office due this month and a 41 m² clinic in December. The developer has no priced units on offer, so homes here are bought from owners, and the resale prices are in the price table on this page.

This page explains what is in The Square, how to choose a home, and what to check before buying resale.

Unit types in The Square

• Apartment, 3 bedrooms, 162 to 225 m²: finishing differs by unit.
• Apartment, 4 bedrooms, 203 to 210 m²: finishing differs.
• Penthouse, 3 bedrooms, 220 m²: semi-finished.
• Townhouse, 4 bedrooms, 262 to 270 m²: finishing differs.
• Twin house, 3 bedrooms, 262 m²: semi-finished.
• Twin house, 5 bedrooms, 278 m²: fully finished.
• Office, 34 m²: fully finished, handover October 2026.
• Clinic, 41 m²: fully finished, handover December 2026.

The homes are large: the three-bedroom apartments start at 162 m², and some reach 225 m², more than the four-bedrooms. So compare by area, not by the number of rooms. Finishing varies a lot, from semi-finished to fully finished, which changes the real cost of each unit.

Apartments in The Square

Are there apartments for sale in The Square New Cairo? Yes, from owners, since the developer has none priced on offer. For a family, a 162 to 225 m² three-bedroom gives generous space; a 203 to 210 m² four-bedroom suits a larger family. Ask about each apartment's finishing, floor and view before you compare prices.

A ready apartment here or a new one nearby?

Using the cheapest apartment's price per metre in new projects close by: Greens Residence about 128,200, handover 2027; Mountain View Hyde Park about 98,200; One Hyde Park about 84,600, handover 2030; Collage Ivoire East about 71,200, handover 2030. Divide the owner's price by the area and compare, then add the rent you would pay while waiting for a new unit.

The Square mall

According to the project's details, The Square has a commercial hub with restaurants, cafes, shops and a retail area, which is what people search for as "The Square mall". For residents, that puts daily needs inside the compound. The recorded office and clinic are part of this commercial side. New clinics nearby cost about 189,400 a metre at Ivoire East and about 239,800 at Safa Medi Plex, for comparison.

The Square prices and payment plans

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.

Amenities and services

According to the project's details: landscaping and water features, a jogging track, pools for adults and children, a clubhouse, a kids' area, dining, the commercial hub, round-the-clock security, cleaning, maintenance and gardening. See the amenities section for what is recorded.

The Square photos

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

Apartment or house?

The largest three-bedroom apartments, at 225 m², are close in size to the twin houses and townhouses. The difference is how you live: a house gives you your own entrance, a garden and two or three floors, while an apartment has no stairs inside and costs less to run. With small children or a garden in mind, look at the houses; for older relatives or easier upkeep, a large apartment usually suits better.

Questions to ask residents

We have no complaints recorded about The Square, so ask for yourself. Talk to residents about maintenance and its cost, security, and how busy the mall area gets, and visit at different times of day.

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.
