Catalan Compound New Capital City

Catalan New Capital compound is a project by Gates Developments in R7 in the New Administrative Capital, with three-bedroom apartments from 175 m² at EGP 5,942,475, a 200 m² four-bedroom at 6,975,375 and a 335 m² four-bedroom duplex at 13,021,647, semi-finished, on 20% down over 5 years, with handover in August 2027, at October 2026 prices.

Catalan's metre is about EGP 34,000, far below the new apartments around it in R7. This page works that out in numbers and lists what to ask to understand the gap.

Catalan New Capital prices, October 2026

Catalan prices in October 2026: three-bedrooms of 175 to 185 m² from EGP 5,942,475 to 6,458,518, a 200 m² four-bedroom at 6,975,375 and a 335 m² four-bedroom duplex at 13,021,647, all semi-finished on 20% down over 5 years. This is what Masharf (Keller Williams Masharf) holds:

The apartments are priced under 7 million; these are their actual prices. The monthly figure is the lowest price spread evenly over 60 months; the developer's actual schedule may be quarterly. With the instalment at a third of income, the three-bedroom needs a household income of about EGP 237,700 a month and the duplex about 520,900.

Three or four bedrooms?

The 200 m² four-bedroom is only 1,032,900 above the 175 m² three-bedroom for 25 m² and a bedroom more, about 41,320 per added metre, with an instalment about 13,780 a month higher. Both have three bathrooms. If the family needs a fourth room, the gap here is small for the space you gain.

Why is Catalan's metre below its R7 neighbours?

A Catalan apartment runs about EGP 34,000 per m², against about 41,800 to 53,300 for new three-bedrooms around it in R7 priced from 7 million up, in October 2026.

The gap is large, from about 7,900 to about 19,300 per metre, and it makes sense to ask why before booking: the compound's position within R7, construction progress, the finish (semi-finished at Catalan, full at The Loft) and the plan (20% down over only 5 years). Part of the gap is that neighbours spread payments over 8 and 10 years, and prices on longer terms run higher.

Parklane is about a kilometre in a straight line from Catalan, hands over two months later at the same finish, and runs about 16,540 more per metre. The Loft, about 300 m away, is finished, hands over in September 2027 and runs about 19,340 more per metre.

How much is paid at Catalan before the August 2027 handover?

By August 2027 you will have paid about 33.3% of the price, the 20% down payment plus 10 instalments starting in November: about EGP 1,980,800 on the three-bedroom and 4,340,500 on the duplex, at October 2026 prices.

The 20% down payment is Catalan's heaviest item. After handover you will also need to finish the unit, since it is semi-finished, so add finishing for 175 to 335 m² to these figures. Ask for the semi-finished specification in writing and get a finishing quote before comparing with a finished apartment such as The Loft.

A Catalan duplex or another duplex in R7?

The 335 m² Catalan duplex at EGP 13,021,647 is 90 m² larger than the 245 m² Parklane duplex and only 649,147 more, both semi-finished and handing over in 2027, in October 2026.

The Catalan duplex has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, more than the duplexes in the table. Venia, by the same developer in R7, hands over the same month with a 248 m² three-bedroom duplex on only 5% down over 8 years. If the down payment is what holds you back at Catalan, Venia offers the same developer and date for far less up front.

Where is Catalan, and what is in it?

Catalan is in R7, one of the New Capital's residential districts, near the Green River and the Government District, a Gates Developments project with a Spanish-style design of arched fronts and iron balconies.

Inside the compound are pools, gardens and the Catalan Mall commercial building, and Gates also has Venia in R7. With handover close, visit the site to see how far construction has come before booking, and ask where your building sits relative to the pool and the gate.
