Triangle Compound New Cairo

Triangle Compound New Cairo: the four-bedroom twin house is the best-value house

Triangle Compound New Cairo is a compound of houses by The Waterway Developments on 250 feddans on the Middle Ring Road, 80% of it greenery and water, with a 48-feddan central park. The cheapest unit is a 248 m² three-bedroom townhouse at EGP 29,153,000, with 10% down and 9 years of instalments on every unit, and handover in March 2030.

The compound has no apartment blocks, only townhouses, twin houses and villas. The payment plan is the same for all, so the comparison is about size and price alone. The surprise is that the four-bedroom twin house gives much more space than the four-bedroom townhouse for a small price difference. Let us see.

Who is Triangle for?

A family wanting its first house

A 248 m² three-bedroom townhouse at 29.15 million, the cheapest metre in the compound, with about 2.9 million down.

A large family needing four bedrooms

A 345 m² four-bedroom twin house from 41.4 million, the best value among the large houses.

Someone who wants a standalone villa

Four- and five-bedroom villas from 390 to 460 m², from 50.3 million, on the same payment plan.

Someone whose work may move to the capital

The compound is on the Middle Ring Road, with the New Administrative Capital about 20 minutes away.

The units in figures

• Three-bedroom townhouse: 248 m² at 29,153,000, about 117,600 per m².
• Four-bedroom townhouse: 270 m² at 36,304,000, about 134,500 per m².
• Three-bedroom twin house: from 320 m² at 40,064,000, about 125,200 per m².
• Four-bedroom twin house: 345 m² from 41,383,000, about 120,000 per m².
• Four-bedroom villa: 390 m² at 50,269,000, about 128,900 per m².
• Five-bedroom villa: 460 m² from 58,524,000, about 127,200 per m².

Four-bedroom townhouse or four-bedroom twin house?

The four-bedroom townhouse is 270 m² at 36.3 million, and the four-bedroom twin house 345 m² at 41.4 million. So 5.08 million more gets you 75 m² extra, only about 67,700 per extra metre, roughly half the compound's price per metre. You also share one wall with a neighbour instead of two. If you need four bedrooms, the twin house is by far the clearer choice.

Three- or four-bedroom twin house?

The three-bedroom twin house is from 320 m² at 40.06 million, and the four-bedroom 345 m² at 41.38 million. So only 1.32 million more gets you 25 m² and another room. There is no reason to take the three-bedroom twin house unless its position is clearly better.

Villas: the five-bedroom is better value for the extra space

• From the twin house to the four-bedroom villa: 45 m² more for about 8.9 million, about 198,000 per extra metre. That is the price of full independence.
• From the four- to the five-bedroom villa: 70 m² and a room more for about 8.25 million, about 118,000 per extra metre, below the average price per metre.

So if you are taking a villa, the five-bedroom gives better value for the extra space. If it need not be standalone, the four-bedroom twin house saves you about 9 million.

The three-bedroom townhouse: the cheapest way in

The 248 m² three-bedroom townhouse at 29.15 million is the cheapest unit and the cheapest metre in the compound. 248 m² is a generous size for a three-bedroom townhouse. If three bedrooms are enough, it is the wisest choice, saving you 7 million against the four-bedroom townhouse.

What income does the instalment suit?

10% down and 9 years of instalments. If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• Three-bedroom townhouse: an instalment of about 242,900 a month, so an income of around 729,000.
• Four-bedroom twin house: EGP 4,138,300 down and an instalment of about 344,900, so an income of around 1.03 million.
• Five-bedroom villa: EGP 5,852,400 down and an instalment of about 487,700, so an income of around 1.46 million.

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

Triangle against its neighbours

• Townhouses: Triangle from about 117,600, Mist, less than a kilometre away, about 141,600, 97 Hills about 138,600, Trio about 124,200 and The 101 about 101,000.
• Twin houses: Triangle from about 120,000, Palm Hills New Cairo about 136,200 and The Valleys about 164,900.
• Villas: Triangle from about 127,200, 97 Hills about 145,300, iCity about 155,700 and At East about 115,500.

Triangle is cheaper than Mist, 97 Hills and Palm Hills in almost every type, and dearer than The 101 and At East. So it sits mid-market, with a very large central park.

A 48-feddan park: what does it mean for you?

A central park this size means space to walk, run and let children play inside the compound without going out. And 80% greenery and water means houses spaced apart and open views. Ask where your house sits relative to the park, because houses directly on it have the better view, and probably a higher price too.

For investment: which house?

If you are buying to sell after handover or to let, the three-bedroom townhouse sells most easily because it is the cheapest house in the compound with the widest market. The four-bedroom twin house holds its value because it gives a lot of space at a low price per metre, which shows at resale. Villas have a narrower market and sell more slowly but at higher prices. In every case, handover is years away, so there is no rent before then.

Between New Cairo and Mostakbal City

Triangle sits in the area linking the Fifth Settlement with Mostakbal City and the capital. That means prices are still lower than in central New Cairo, and new roads bring distances closer every year. But everyday services around you are still filling in, so at first you will rely on the compound itself and on Madinaty and El Rehab. Factor that in if you have children at school.

Handover in 2030: buy now?

Handover is about three and a half years away and instalments run 9 years, so most instalments will be paid while you live there. That suits a family planning early. If you need to move soon, look for something ready.

The location: on the Middle Ring Road

Triangle is on the Middle Ring Road, about 10 minutes from Madinaty's Gate 5, 20 from El Rehab and the New Administrative Capital, 25 from the airport and 30 from the American University. So it sits between New Cairo, Mostakbal City and the capital. See it under location, or browse the other projects on the New Cairo page.
