About Nile Developments
Nile Developments was established in 2002 in the Delta city of Mansoura, before relocating its head office to Fifth Settlement in New Cairo in 2016 as activity expanded into Greater Cairo.
The company is an Egyptian joint-stock entity registered with both the General Authority for Investment and the Egyptian Exchange. It operates inside the wider Nile and Al-Ahram Real Estate Group, chaired by Eng. Mohamed Taher with Mahmoud Taher serving as chief executive officer.
Its corporate identity is built around the tagline "Pioneer of Skyscrapers", and the portfolio splits cleanly between administrative, commercial, and hospitality towers in the New Administrative Capital, and European-styled residential compounds in New Cairo.
Track Record
The group has passed twenty years in the Egyptian market. It began with mid-scale projects in Mansoura, moved to Greater Cairo in 2016, and entered the New Administrative Capital with large administrative, commercial, and hospitality high-rises.
Its flagship engineering achievement is Nile Business City in the Downtown district of the New Administrative Capital, described by the company as Africa's tallest vertical building at 233 metres, alongside Tycoon Tower as the continent's tallest hotel tower.
On the residential side, the group launched the second phase of Nile Boulevard under the name Francia in January 2025, with a sales target of EGP 2.5 billion according to Egyptian business press coverage of the launch event.
Areas Served
The active portfolio sits across two main markets: the New Administrative Capital, hosting four administrative, commercial, and hospitality towers in the Downtown corridor, and New Cairo, hosting two adjacent upscale residential compounds.
The geographic split reflects a dual strategy: tower-grade investment in Egypt's newest administrative destination, paired with high-end residential development on top of the mature Fifth Settlement market, while the group retains roots in the Delta through its Mansoura branch.
Nile Developments Project Portfolio in Egypt
In the New Administrative Capital, the group operates four headline towers: 31N Tower, Nile Business City, Tycoon Tower, and 31 North Tower.
Nile Business City is the commercial flagship, mixing administrative, retail, and medical units in the heart of the Downtown district. At 233 metres, the company markets it as the tallest vertical building in Africa per the figures published on its official website.
Tycoon Tower is the hospitality flagship, while 31 North Tower is positioned as the New Administrative Capital's first Festival Tower, with 34 above-ground floors devoted to administrative and commercial units on the Tourist Towers Strip in Downtown.
In New Cairo, the residential arm consists of Nile Boulevard, designed around a French architectural identity inspired by Parisian streets, and Francia, the second phase of Nile Boulevard launched in January 2025.
Why Buy from Nile Developments
First, skyscraper specialisation. Unlike general developers who bolt a single tower onto a horizontal compound portfolio, Nile Developments built its identity around tall buildings, which signals engineering and logistics depth in designing and operating structures above 200 metres.
Second, regulated corporate status. The company is an Egyptian joint-stock entity listed on the stock exchange and at the General Authority for Investment, which implies governance and periodic reporting and reduces the counterparty risk of a ten-year instalment contract versus closed private firms.
Third, portfolio breadth. Upscale residential in Fifth Settlement alongside administrative, commercial, and hospitality towers in the New Administrative Capital lets a buyer diversify within the same developer, whether the intent is a primary home, a rented office, or a serviced hotel unit.
