Chess Field Mall is the commercial and administrative component of Al Jazi Egypt, one of the largest mixed-use developments in New Cairo. The developer, Al Jazi Developments, is the real-estate arm of Seldar Misr Group.
The project covers 45,011 square metres and comprises 12 buildings arranged in a chessboard grid: 10 buildings dedicated to Class A offices, two buildings for Moxy Hotel by Marriott as branded residences, plus ground and first floors for retail across the complex.
Unit prices in Chess Field start from 12,100,000 EGP for smaller shops and offices, reaching up to 40,680,000 EGP for 113-square-metre offices. Price per square metre ranges from 174,800 EGP for offices to 300,800 EGP for ground-floor retail facing the main corridor.
The investment positioning targets three segments: retail yield investors seeking 10-14% annual return, Class A office tenants for multinational firms, and hospitality investors via Moxy Hotel branded units.
Market timing is favourable: the project is in active Selling mode with staged delivery, offering 6-month soft-launch units and full-phase delivery in 2026. Higher down-payment plans unlock accelerated delivery and steeper discounts.
Chess Field Mall sits in the North Investors Area of New Cairo, at a strategic point overlooking three major corridors: 90th Street, Suez Road, and Al Rehab City. The location functions as a natural transit node between Fifth Settlement and the New Administrative Capital.
The catchment area is strong: residents within a 10-minute drive exceed 800,000 across Al Rehab, Fifth Settlement, and El Shorouk. Daily traffic on Suez Road and the Bin Zayed corridor delivers steady all-week footfall.
Coordinates: 30.0355440 N, 31.4781370 E. You can view the exact location on the interactive map below this page.
The Chess Field master plan is inspired by a chessboard grid — 12 buildings arranged in regular rows, each named after a chess piece (King, Queen, Bishop, Knight, Rook, Pawn). This layout creates clear functional separation between offices, hotel, and retail.
All buildings carry LEED Green Building certification, a rare feature in Egyptian commercial projects. Facades follow Class A specifications with curtain-wall glazing that supports signage rights for anchor brands.
Office floorplate efficiency reaches 85% net-to-gross, with 3.5-metre ceiling heights and dedicated MEP systems per unit. Underground parking delivers a high ratio per 100 leasable square metres.
Chess Field Mall units split into three main categories: retail shops on ground and first floors, Class A offices across 10 full buildings, and Moxy Hotel branded units in two dedicated buildings.
Retail shops start from 71 square metres for inline and kiosk units, scaling up to 237 square metres for anchor positions reserved for banks and large F&B brands. Offices start from 69 square metres for small tenants and reach 1,692 square metres for full-floor corporate leases.
Offices deliver core and shell, giving tenants full interior design freedom, while retail units arrive semi-finished. The complete unit schedule with areas and starting prices appears in the unit_types table above this page.
| Unit Type | Area | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| Retail Shops (Ground/First) | 71–237 m² | 12,100,000 EGP |
| Class A Offices | 69–1692 m² | 14,531,722 EGP |
| Moxy Hotel Units | — | — |
Chess Field unit prices start from 12,100,000 EGP for the smallest units and climb with area, usage type, and floor level.
Retail price per square metre on ground floors ranges from 250,000 to 300,800 EGP. Office price per square metre ranges from 174,800 to 180,000 EGP. Ground-floor retail facing the main corridor commands 1.5 to 2 times the per-metre rate of upper-floor retail.
Sample units: a 69-square-metre office at 14,531,722 EGP, a 71-square-metre office at 21,300,000 EGP, and a 113-square-metre office at 40,680,000 EGP. Expected annual rental rates fall between 1,200 and 2,500 EGP per square metre depending on unit type.
Pricing varies by floor, frontage, and delivery slot. For the latest price list, contact CompoundGate.
The headline payment plan for Chess Field is 10% down with installments over 6 years, delivered core and shell. Alternative plans shorten the wait or unlock cash discounts.
Alternative plans: 15% down with 6-year installments at a discount, 20% down with delivery in 3 years, 30% down with 2-year installments, 50% down with one-year delivery, and 70% down with delivery in only 6 months. Contact CompoundGate for the latest commercial payment plans.
The expected commercial yield in Chess Field, based on current rental rates in North Investors Area, ranges from 10% to 14% annually for ground-floor retail and 8% to 12% for Class A offices.
The presence of Moxy by Marriott as anchor tenant lifts footfall permanently: hotel guests use the shops and restaurants daily, reducing vacancy risk for commercial units.
The global Marriott network plus the Al Jazi Developments brand, tied to JW Marriott Residences as a sister project under the same developer, generate sustained demand from major brands for retail space at Chess Field.
Investment liquidity at Chess Field is high: small unit sizes (69 m² for offices, 71 m² for shops) make units easy to resell to mid-size investors, unlike full-floor units that require corporate buyers.
Best-fit investor: single-owner of a ground-floor shop or small office with a long lease contract, or an investor seeking two or three units to diversify a portfolio across retail and office within the same project.
Chess Field's commercial infrastructure is Class A specification: electricity backed by full-capacity backup generators, fiber-optic network to each unit, central chilled-water cooling 24/7, and dedicated HVAC per floor.
Chess Field combines a set of features that make it an investment magnet for commercial buyers in New Cairo:
The main drawback at Chess Field is the off-plan nature of delivery: buyers in the standard plan wait until 2026 for full-phase handover.
The solution: Al Jazi offers a 70% down plan with delivery in only 6 months for investors who want immediate operation and rental income, backed by LEED Certified quality and binding delivery dates.
A second drawback: ground-floor retail price per square metre is high, reaching 300,800 EGP, compared to upper floors. The solution: ground-floor retail rental income outperforms offices by 40-60% thanks to direct footfall from Moxy Hotel guests and the adjacent Al Rehab City, which justifies the premium within 5-6 operating years.
Al Jazi Developments is the real-estate arm of Seldar Misr Group, a major player in Egyptian hospitality and real-estate investment for decades.
The parent group's portfolio includes anchor hospitality assets: Four Seasons First Residence, The First Mall, Hilton Alexandria Corniche Hotel, and Hilton Hurghada Plaza Hotel.
On the development side, Al Jazi runs the 266,500-square-metre Al Jazi Egypt master plan, which delivers four projects: Al Jazi First Mall, Chess Field Mall, JW Marriott Residences New Cairo Al Jazi Gardens, and Marriott Residences New Cairo Al Jazi First (Egypt's first branded residences).
Al Jazi's track record is anchored by exclusive Marriott International partnerships in Egypt, which gives Chess Field Mall a built-in hospitality anchor with Moxy by Marriott without later negotiation.
