Elite Mall New Capital City: solar panels and 230 parking spaces in MU23

Elite Mall New Capital City is a retail, office and medical building by SAK Development in MU23, New Capital City, on plot A3 between R2 and R3 as published. The plot is 5,500 m², of which 1,482 m² is open space outside the building. Elite Mall has yet to announce shop sizes or prices.

What stands out in what is published

• A lower basement with more than 230 parking spaces and a system that shows where the free ones are.
• Storage rooms for unit owners.
• Solar panels covering more than half the building's electricity.
• A pool, a gym, a children's area and shops.
• ID-card entry gates, generators, central air conditioning, fast internet, fire-fighting and an operating and maintenance company.

Storage matters to shop and clinic owners, so ask whether it comes with the unit or is sold separately, and how big it is. On the solar panels, ask how much they will actually cut the service charge.

A pool in a mall?

A pool and gym are published inside a commercial building, so ask who will use them: only owners and their staff, or the public by subscription; who will run them; and whether their cost sits in the service charge.

The units

Medical, retail and office units are published. Ask SAK for the floor split: which floor the clinics are on, and whether shops are on the ground floor only or the first too. With 230 parking spaces published, ask how many go with each unit.

MU23 and the neighbours

Landmarks the developer names include Sports City, the Embassies District, the Green River, the Masa hotel and the airport, with the Ring Road and Suez Road for access. On the map, Zaha Park is a kilometre away, its smallest unit 35 m² at 5,137,000 (close to 146,800 a metre); Ivory Plaza also a kilometre, 41 m² at 6,277,000 (close to 153,100); and Al Maqsad in R3 at 1.8 km, 79 m² at 9,414,000.

Competition inside MU23

About 700 metres from Elite Mall is Paris Mall, another commercial project in the same district between R2 and R3. Customers and tenants will have two close choices. When comparing, look at which hands over first, which has the bigger car park, and the share of shops to offices in each. Ask too about Elite's 1,482 m² of open space: seating and cafés for the ground-floor shops, or just walkways?

SAK Development

SAK's own account: a family firm since 1985 whose background is Delta projects and contracting work for the state and alongside Arab Contractors. Its other New Capital venture is Sueno, a small compound in R7. Before paying, pin down Elite Mall's delivery date and get names of buildings SAK has already completed.
