Al Marasem Developments

About Al Marasem Developments

Al Marasem Developments is the Egyptian real estate arm of the Saudi Binladin Group, one of the largest construction and engineering conglomerates in the Middle East and North Africa. The Egyptian arm was officially established in 1997.

The company is owned by Sheikh Khalid bin Laden and his brother Sheikh Omar bin Laden, within the commercial branch of the family that has run the Saudi construction empire for decades.

This affiliation with a group of Binladin's scale gives Al Marasem financial depth and construction expertise rare in the Egyptian market.

Al Marasem has operated in Egypt for roughly 30 years and has established its reputation as one of the leading developers in the Egyptian real estate market thanks to the financial and operational backing of the parent group.

Al Marasem Track Record

The company's most distinctive feature is the construction backbone of the parent group. The Saudi Binladin Group has executed the largest construction projects across the Middle East, including major infrastructure projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This expertise translates into execution quality newer developers cannot easily replicate.

Since its founding in Egypt in 1997, Al Marasem has developed a distinguished portfolio across New Cairo and the emerging coastal regions. The company focuses on premium compounds rather than quantitative expansion into mid-tier projects.

Signature projects include Fifth Square in New Cairo — one of the company's most prominent residential communities — plus Mar Bay in Ras El Hekma on the new North Coast, alongside the Moon Residences and Lake Residence series in New Cairo.

Areas Where Al Marasem Operates in Egypt

Al Marasem projects are distributed across two primary regions: New Cairo and the North Coast. This strategic split serves both primary residence and summer home buyers under the same institutional umbrella.

You can browse New Cairo compounds to see most of the Al Marasem portfolio, where the flagship Fifth Square project is located. Coastal projects are also available in North Coast compounds within the emerging Ras El Hekma area.

The presence in both New Cairo and the North Coast reflects a strategy of reaching the widest buyer segment seeking both primary residences and seasonal investment opportunities under one trusted institutional name.

Al Marasem Project Portfolio

The Al Marasem portfolio includes 4 projects available through CompoundGate, ranging across premium residential compounds in New Cairo and coastal villages in the new North Coast.

In New Cairo, the portfolio includes Fifth Square Al Marasem New Cairo, one of East Cairo's most prominent compounds, alongside Moon Residences and Lake Residence.

On the North Coast, the portfolio includes the coastal village Mar Bay North Coast in the emerging Ras El Hekma area. This coastal village serves the summer-home buyer segment within one of Egypt's most important new real estate investment destinations.

Why Buy from Al Marasem Developments

The most distinctive advantage of Al Marasem is its affiliation with the Saudi Binladin Group. This group is one of the largest construction and engineering corporations in the Middle East, and its construction expertise translates directly into execution quality across every Al Marasem project in Egypt.

The second advantage is regional continuity. The company has operated in Egypt since 1997 — roughly 30 years — and has weathered Egypt's economic and political challenges without stalling on project delivery. This continuity track record is rare among real estate developers.

The third is regional financial backing. A company of Binladin's scale provides the Egyptian arm with financial resources and liquidity injection capacity when needed, reducing delivery risk. For a buyer committed to long-term installments, this institutional support is a meaningful continuity guarantee.
