This district occupies a central position within the capital’s residential spine, balancing proximity to governmental and commercial zones with the quieter character suited to family living.
The R5 location provides strategic advantages beyond mere convenience.

Design & Architecture at Garden City
Master Plan & Community Vision
Garden City’s master plan represents City Edge Developments’ philosophy that residential projects should prioritize quality of life over density maximization. The 1,000-acre site allocates 80% to landscaping, amenities, water features, and community facilities, with buildings occupying just 20%—a ratio that significantly exceeds industry norms where construction often claims 35-40% of land.
This allocation creates a park-like atmosphere where residential buildings feel integrated into natural surroundings rather than dominating them. The development comprises 295 residential buildings, 105 standalone villas, 11 residential towers, and 175 townhouse and twin-house units, distributed across the site to prevent crowding and preserve privacy. With approximately 23,000 total units, population density remains controlled despite the project’s substantial scope.
Landscape architects created a network of interconnected green spaces featuring water bodies, botanical gardens, and tree-lined boulevards reminiscent of European urban parks. These features serve functional purposes beyond aesthetics—providing natural cooling, noise buffering, and recreational space while creating premium views that justify higher unit pricing.
The development unfolds in nine distinct phases, with Verandas and Centria representing the initial releases containing 591 and 970 units respectively. Internal roads measure minimum 70 meters in width with interlocking pavement, supporting smooth traffic flow while maintaining upscale character. This phased approach allows City Edge to respond to market feedback and adjust specifications in later phases while ensuring early buyers benefit from completed infrastructure.
Architectural Character
Garden City’s design team drew inspiration from French classical architecture and downtown Cairo’s belle époque buildings, creating facades that balance ornamental detail with contemporary functionality. Buildings feature decorative cornices, symmetrical window arrangements, and ground-floor arcades reminiscent of historic European boulevards, establishing visual coherence across the development.
Residential buildings rise to ground floor plus five repeated levels, maintaining human scale while achieving density sufficient to support amenity provision. This height restriction preserves sight lines, maximizes natural light penetration to lower floors, and creates an intimate neighborhood atmosphere. Towers reach higher elevations while occupying strategic locations that minimize shadow impact on surrounding units.
Unit Design Philosophy
Interior layouts emphasize natural light through large windows positioned to capture morning sun while minimizing afternoon heat gain. Cross-ventilation strategies reduce mechanical cooling requirements, supporting both environmental sustainability and lower operating costs for residents. Space planning optimizes usable area, avoiding awkward corners or wasted circulation space.
Kitchens incorporate modern cabinetry with ample storage and counter workspace suitable for both daily meal preparation and entertaining. Bathrooms feature contemporary fixtures balancing water efficiency with aesthetic appeal. Bedrooms provide sufficient space for furniture arrangement flexibility while maintaining comfortable proportions. Balconies and terraces extend living areas outdoors, with some units offering private roof access.
Unit Types & Sizes in Garden City New Capital
Garden City offers residential options spanning compact one-bedroom apartments suitable for young professionals to expansive four-bedroom residences accommodating extended families. This diversity allows the development to serve multiple market segments while maintaining architectural coherence and community character.
City Edge structured the unit mix to balance market demand with optimal land use, recognizing that mid-range two and three-bedroom apartments typically drive sales velocity while villas and townhouses provide margin contribution and lifestyle appeal for premium buyers.
1-Bedroom Apartments: 80-140 sqm, designed for singles, couples, and young professionals seeking compact efficiency
2-Bedroom Apartments: 125-205 sqm, offering additional space for growing families or home office needs
3-Bedroom Apartments: 200-355 sqm, providing generous layouts for established families requiring multiple living zones
Townhouses: Various configurations blending attached housing efficiency with private outdoor space
Twin Houses: Semi-detached residences offering villa-style living with shared-wall economy
Standalone Villas: Independent houses providing maximum privacy and land ownership
Each building category addresses specific buyer preferences—apartments emphasize convenience and lower maintenance, townhouses balance community and privacy, while villas deliver exclusivity and customization potential. This stratification supports pricing flexibility and market resilience across economic cycles.

Garden City New Capital Pricing Strategy
City Edge Developments established pricing for Garden City through comprehensive competitive analysis examining location value, amenity provision, and architectural differentiation against R5 District benchmarks. The starting price of EGP 3,600,000 reflects strategic positioning to capture market share while maintaining margins sufficient to deliver the promised quality.
Price per square meter averages EGP 55,000 for apartments, positioned 10-15% below competing R5 projects offering similar locations but typically featuring higher density and fewer amenities. Villas command lower per-square-meter rates around EGP 17,000 due to larger absolute unit sizes and land component inclusion, though total prices reach significantly higher levels.
Pricing variation within unit categories reflects floor level, view quality, corner positions, and proximity to amenities. Ground-floor apartments command premiums of 5-8% for potential garden access, while upper floors carry 3-5% premiums for enhanced views and reduced noise. Corner units throughout the development command 4-6% premiums for superior natural light and ventilation.
Pricing Ranges
Starting Prices: From EGP 3,600,000
Price per SQM (Apartments): EGP 55,000 average
1-Bedroom Units: EGP 3,600,000
2-Bedroom Units: EGP 4,425,000
3-Bedroom Units: EGP 6,875,000
Townhouses/Twin Houses: Pricing varies by configuration and location
These ranges provide entry points across buyer segments while supporting revenue optimization through premium positioning for superior units.
Payment Plans at Garden City
City Edge Developments structures financing to maximize accessibility while managing project cash flow and construction financing requirements. The developer recognizes that payment flexibility often determines purchase decisions more than absolute price levels, particularly for end-users versus cash investors.
The standard payment plan requires 5% down payment followed by equal monthly installments over 12 years at zero interest—an extended term that reduces monthly payments to manageable levels for middle-income buyers. This structure targets young families and professionals establishing first homes who prioritize affordability over rapid equity accumulation.
Primary Payment Plan: 5% down payment, 12-year equal installments, interest-free
Delivery Schedule: Units available for handover in 2025
Finishing Options: Semi-finished or fully finished (premium pricing applies)
Maintenance Fees: To be confirmed, typically 5-7 EGP per sqm monthly
Registration Fees: Standard transfer costs per Egyptian law
The extended installment period distinguishes Garden City from competitors offering shorter 7-8 year terms, though buyers should note that longer payment periods mean delayed full ownership and extended financial commitment. Those preferring faster equity buildup can make accelerated payments without penalty.

Garden City’s amenity provision reflects its 80% allocation to non-building uses, creating a resort-like environment within a residential framework. Multiple swimming pools serve different user groups—family pools with graduated depths, adult lap pools for serious swimmers, and ladies-only facilities providing privacy for conservative residents.
Fitness centers feature modern cardio and strength equipment, group exercise studios, and personal training services. Sports facilities include tennis courts, football pitches, basketball courts, and multipurpose fields supporting organized leagues and casual play. Jogging and cycling paths wind through landscaped areas, connecting activity nodes while providing car-free recreation.

Investment Value & ROI Potential
Garden City presents investment fundamentals rooted in New Administrative Capital growth trajectories, R5 District positioning, and City Edge Developments’ execution track record. The capital’s emergence as Egypt’s governmental center creates sustained demand from civil servants, diplomats, and supporting service providers—tenant profiles offering stability and paying capacity.
The project’s French architectural theme differentiates it from competitors featuring generic contemporary designs, creating brand recognition and premium positioning that support pricing power. This distinction becomes increasingly valuable as the R5 District matures and buyers seek character beyond baseline quality.
Rental yield projections for well-finished apartments typically range 7-9% annually based on current R5 District market data, with ground-floor units commanding slight premiums for garden access and upper floors benefiting from view quality. Villas and townhouses show lower percentage yields around 5-6% due to higher absolute prices, though they attract longer-term tenants seeking stability.
Capital appreciation expectations for New Administrative Capital properties average 10-12% annually over the next five years, driven by infrastructure completion, government ministry relocations, and population growth as the city operationalizes. Garden City’s 2025 delivery positions buyers to capture this appreciation wave while early phases establish community character.
The development’s 80% open space allocation—while reducing total unit inventory—actually enhances individual unit values through scarcity within a premium environment. This supply constraint supports pricing power that dense developments cannot match, particularly as buyer preferences shift toward quality over quantity.
About City Edge Developments
City Edge Developments operates as one of Egypt’s most active real estate developers with a substantial land bank exceeding 900 acres across strategic locations including the New Administrative Capital, Sheikh Zayed, and New Alamein. This portfolio provides pipeline visibility and geographic diversification reducing reliance on single-market dynamics.
The company’s strategy emphasizes creating value through premium-quality projects rather than volume production, manifesting through careful site selection, above-market amenity provision, and extended payment terms that prioritize accessibility. This approach builds customer loyalty and word-of-mouth marketing that reduces acquisition costs for subsequent projects.
City Edge’s financial structure combines Egyptian market knowledge with access to development capital supporting project financing without cash flow pressures that derail less-capitalized competitors. The company maintains construction schedules and quality standards through experienced project management teams and established contractor relationships.
Previous Projects
Al Maqsad New Capital: Mixed-use development in the R7 District combining residential units with commercial components, demonstrating City Edge’s capability in complex urban environments and establishing credibility for Garden City’s execution.
Etapa Sheikh Zayed: Residential community in the established Sheikh Zayed market proving City Edge’s ability to compete against major developers while maintaining quality standards and delivery commitments.
The company’s track record provides buyers with confidence in Garden City’s timely completion and post-delivery support, critical considerations given the three-to-four-year horizon until handover.
Potential Considerations
Prospective buyers should evaluate Garden City within realistic expectations about New Administrative Capital living and large-scale development dynamics. The capital remains under active construction, meaning promised infrastructure and services arrive progressively rather than immediately. While major roads and landmarks exist, some planned facilities will materialize over coming years.
The 2025 delivery timeline appears achievable based on current construction progress and City Edge’s track record, though buyers should confirm specific building completion schedules as phases deliver sequentially. Early phase buyers benefit from completed infrastructure but should verify amenity activation timelines.
The compound’s 1,000-acre scale creates a self-contained community reducing daily travel needs, though this isolation may not suit buyers preferring integrated urban environments. Families should visit the site to assess the balance between security and convenience that gated developments inherently create.
Garden City’s French architectural theme appeals to buyers seeking distinctive character, though those preferring ultra-modern aesthetics may find competing developments more suitable. The classical design approach supports long-term value retention as architectural fashions evolve.
