The Estates Residence New Zayed

The Estates Residence New Zayed: ready units and 10-year instalments

The Estates Residence New Zayed is a compound by SODIC on 115 feddans, an extension of the original The Estates compound. The cheapest unit is a 115 m² two-bedroom apartment at EGP 19,135,000, everything comes with 5% down and 10 years of instalments, and some units are handed over this month.

A ready unit with 10 years of instalments is a rare combination in New Zayed. But not every unit is ready, and the gaps in dates and prices between types are large. Let us sort them so you can choose.

Who is The Estates Residence for?

The compound is genuinely low density: buildings cover only 16.5% of the land, and the rest is gardens, lakes and a 2 km green spine linking the neighbourhoods. The buildings have wide glass facades and high ceilings.

Someone who wants to move in straight away

The townhouse and twin house are handed over in October 2026, the three-bedroom apartments in November, and the three-bedroom penthouses in January 2027. If you want to move within months, these are the types to look at.

A small family on a tighter budget

The two-bedroom apartment starts at EGP 19,135,000 with EGP 956,750 down and an instalment of roughly EGP 151,500 a month over 10 years. But it is handed over in June 2028, so you wait a year and a half.

An investor who wants rent from the first month

Ready units here mean rent starts coming in immediately while the instalment runs over 10 years. New Zayed is close to Sphinx Airport and the Grand Egyptian Museum, which brings rental demand from people who work in the area and want to live near it.

A family that wants space and a top floor

The penthouse here is one of the best deals in the project, and we explain why with the figures now.

Penthouse or apartment in The Estates Residence?

This is the key comparison in the project. The three-bedroom apartment starts at 148 m² for EGP 28,198,000. The three-bedroom penthouse starts at 194 m² for EGP 28,843,000. So the penthouse is 46 m² larger and only EGP 645,000 more.

• Price per m²: the three-bedroom penthouse is about 148,700 per m² and the three-bedroom apartment about 190,500, a gap of about 42,000 on every metre.
• Handover: the apartment in November 2026 and the penthouse in January 2027, only two months apart.
• Two bedrooms: the same story. The two-bedroom penthouse is 159 m² at EGP 23,879,000 and the two-bedroom apartment 115 m² at EGP 19,135,000. The penthouse is 44 m² larger and cheaper per metre (about 150,200 against 166,400).

The upshot: if you are going for a three-bedroom apartment, the penthouse gives you 46 m² more and a top floor for under a million more. There is little reason to choose the apartment unless you do not want the top floor for some reason.

Townhouse or duplex?

Both are exactly the same size, 263 m². The townhouse costs EGP 38,560,000 and is handed over in October 2026; the 5-bedroom duplex costs EGP 41,124,000 and is handed over in June 2028. So the townhouse is EGP 2,564,000 cheaper and ready today instead of in a year and a half.

The duplex has 5 bedrooms against 3 in the townhouse, so if your family is large and needs the rooms, it makes sense. Otherwise, the townhouse is the clearer choice, and it also has about the cheapest square metre in the whole project, around EGP 146,600.

The 283 m² twin house at EGP 49,269,000 is also ready, which means 20 m² more than the townhouse for about 10.7 million more. That is a big gap, so ask about the garden and position before paying it.

What does low density mean here?

Only 16.5% of the land is built on, so each feddan holds few buildings with plenty of space around them. The 2 km green spine links the neighbourhoods, so you can walk, run or stroll with your children from one end of the compound to the other without meeting a car.

The buildings themselves have wide glass facades and high ceilings, which let light in and make an apartment feel larger than its size. They are handed over with high-end finishing, so ask for the specification in writing so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What income does an Estates Residence instalment suit?

Every type is on 10 years, one of the longest payment periods in New Zayed. If the instalment is to stay under a third of household income:

• Two-bedroom apartment: an instalment of about EGP 151,500 a month, so an income of around 455,000.
• Three-bedroom penthouse: an instalment of about EGP 228,000, so an income of around 685,000.
• Townhouse: an instalment of about EGP 305,000, so an income of around 916,000.

These figures are approximate and before any increases. Ready units let you live in the home and pay the instalment at the same time, so you are not paying rent and instalments together. The details are under payment plans.

Price per m² in The Estates Residence against New Zayed

Using the price per m² of the cheapest unit in each nearby project:

• The Estates, same developer, under 1 km away: around EGP 201,500 per m², with its cheapest unit at 353 m².
• Dejoya Residence, under 1 km away: around EGP 97,000 per m².
• Dejoya Villas, 1 km away: around EGP 90,000 per m².
• Naia West, 1.2 km away: around EGP 75,000 per m².
• Midtown New Zayed West, 1.1 km away: around EGP 73,900 per m².
• Q Hills, under 1 km away: around EGP 67,000 per m².

The Estates Residence is clearly dearer than most of its neighbours, about double some of them, and cheaper than the original The Estates. That gap is the price of two things: the SODIC name, and units that are ready or nearly so. If price per m² is your priority and you can wait years, there are options at half the price a kilometre away.

Who is the developer of The Estates Residence?

SODIC builds it, and in New Zayed it also has Karmell and The Estates. In old Sheikh Zayed there is SODIC West, 6.5 km away, its oldest and largest community in the west, so you can see how it runs a compound after handover for yourself. In October it has Forty West and The Strip, so SODIC has built in the west on a large scale for many years, not a single project testing the market.

New Zayed and getting to the project

The compound sits directly on the Cairo to Alexandria desert road, parallel to the El Dabaa axis, with Sphinx Airport 3.5 km away and Juhayna Square 14 km away.

In minutes: Arkan Plaza 12 minutes, the Grand Egyptian Museum 15 minutes and Mohandessin 25 minutes. So it is a quiet new extension, with old Zayed's services still working for you. See it under location, or browse the other projects on the New Zayed page.

Things to know before you book in The Estates Residence

• Handover dates run from this month to June 2028, so check your unit's exact date.
• Inspect ready units yourself before paying, and compare the finishing with the written specification.
• Ask about the maintenance deposit and its percentage, because on ready units it is paid right at handover, a sum you need ready on top of the deposit.
• Read the pros and cons and the amenities above.
