OIA Compound New Capital City

OIA Compound New Capital City: three bedrooms for less than two

The first thing you notice at OIA Compound New Capital City is that the developer's lowest three-bedroom price (154 m², close to 7.7 million) is below its lowest two-bedroom price (130 m², close to 8.29 million). The project is by Edge Holding in R7 of the New Capital, on 30 feddans, mixing homes with offices, shops and a clinic. Every unit is semi-finished, with 10% down and 10 years to pay.

Apartments for sale in OIA Compound from the developer

• Developer three-bedrooms: 154 m² at the small end for 7.7 million, 222 m² at the large end for 14.1, so roughly 50,000 per metre at the bottom.
• Developer two-bedrooms: 8.29 million buys 130 m², 9.47 million buys 150 m², roughly 63,700 per metre.

Why does the two-bedroom cost more than the three-bedroom?

The gap between the developer's two and three-bedrooms may come down to floor, view or building, so ask where each unit sits before choosing on price alone. On paper, the 154 m² three-bedroom is about EGP 586,667 below the 130 m² two-bedroom, with 24 m² more and an instalment about EGP 4,400 a month lower.

The large three-bedroom has the higher metre

Within the three-bedrooms, smallest and largest are 68 m² and about 6.41 million apart, so each added metre reaches near 94,200, about double the first flat's metre. Here, unlike many projects, the big flat is not the better buy; the small one has the lower metre. Among two-bedrooms, the 20 m² from 130 to 150 cost about 59,300 each, close to average. For a large flat, Scene 7's biggest three-bedroom (224 m² near 13.64 million) is about 470,000 below the biggest here for almost the same area.

OIA units are ready: what will you pay each month?

OIA units are ready, and with a 10-year plan nearly all instalments fall after handover: 770,000 to sign for the 154 m² three-bedroom then about 57,750 monthly; 829,000 for the two-bedroom then about 62,150.

Before signing, find out your unit's building by name and see it yourself, and ask about maintenance fees and the meter.

OIA, Scene 7 or IL Mondo?

• Scene 7 (1.7 km): a 137 m² three-bedroom costs 6.61 million and a 116 m² two-bedroom 5.64 million, semi-finished like OIA, its three-bedrooms also ready.
• IL Mondo (700 m): its three-bedrooms start at 160 m², 7.12 million, and it is ready.
• Vinci (700 m, ready): close to 8.99 million for a 156 m² three-bedroom, with five per cent down and twelve years, or about 59,300 monthly.
• Atika (1.8 km, September 2028): the fully finished three-bedroom starts at 153 m² for 10.71 million, over 6 years.
• Midtown Sky (1.3 km, April 2030): two-bedrooms from 140 m² at 8.18 million, three-bedroom 190 m² for 11.1.

So OIA's three-bedroom is about 1.09 million above Scene 7's for 17 more metres; both are semi-finished and ready, so it is a direct comparison. IL Mondo gives 6 more metres for about 580,000 less. Vinci is close on price, with a similar instalment thanks to its 12 years. Atika is about 3 million higher but fully finished, so cost the finishing of 154 m² before calling OIA the lower price. By the month the gap is clearer: Atika's three-bedroom over 6 years runs near 133,900 and IL Mondo's over 7 years near 76,200, against near 57,750 here, the lightest on the list. In two-bedrooms OIA is no bargain: Scene 7's is about 2.65 million lower, and Midtown Sky's gives 10 more metres for slightly less, though it is three and a half years away.

Offices, shops and a clinic inside OIA

OIA's semi-finished offices: 8.68 million for the smallest, 72 m² (near 120,600 per metre), and 21.2 million for the biggest, 183 m². Around them: a RIVAN office of 79 m² near 8.16 million (103,300 a metre), Entrada Avenue offices from 40 m² near 3.06 million, and Catalan Mall offices from 43 m² near 2.59 million. So an OIA office has a higher metre than the neighbours, but it is ready and they are not. At City Hall Strip, 4.2 km off, the smallest office is 32 m² for roughly 3.84 million, about OIA's metre (120,000). Inside OIA, the biggest office's extra 111 m² cost about 113,000 each, slightly under the average, so the large office is the better buy per metre.

Shops begin at 46 m² for 9.32 million and reach 495 m² for 84.16 million; the smallest works out near 202,500 a metre, above an Atika shop (from 73 m², about 11.45 million, a metre of 156,900), Entrada Avenue (about 185,500) and RIVAN (about 107,700). That largest shop comes to about 170,000 per metre, roughly 32,000 under the smallest. The clinic on offer costs close to 44.53 million for 122 m², around 365,000 per metre, about double Sofitel Oia's clinics, so check that number with Edge Holding before leaning on it.

OIA or Sofitel Oia by the same developer?

Edge Holding also sells Sofitel Oia Towers in the same district, fully finished and due January 2028. An office there is 82 m² near 20.78 million (253,400 a metre), its smallest shop is 73 m² for about 24.14 million, and a two-bedroom flat needs about 58.58 million for 169 m². So OIA's metre is about half Sofitel's for offices and under a sixth for flats, with Sofitel fully finished and OIA semi-finished.

OIA master plan: an island among lakes

The developer presents the project as an island, with about 16 artificial lakes, fountains and trees. Roughly a fifth of the land is built on; services and greenery take the remainder. A Kuwaiti firm drew the plan, with Hussein Sabbour as engineering consultant. Listed services: four pools, a gym and spa, a kids' area, walking and cycling tracks, clinics and a hypermarket.

O Hub

Inside sits a service mall called O Hub, with a 24-hour food court, shops, a pharmacy, a bank, jewellers, clinics and offices, so daily errands stay within the walls. If you plan to let a flat here, those services may matter to tenants, so ask which of them actually operate.

Edge Holding

A company founded in 2018 as a Saudi-Egyptian partnership; its other project is Sofitel Oia Towers in the same district.
