Seldar Misr

Seldar Misr is an Egyptian real estate developer founded in 2007, specialising in luxury branded residences and hospitality-anchored mixed-use projects. The Arabic counterpart of this page lives at شركة سلدار مصر للتطوير العقاري. Its flagship is Al Jazi First Marriott Residences in New Cairo.

Company Overview

Seldar Misr was founded in 2007 as the real estate development arm of Gulf Building and Construction, a Gulf-rooted contracting and construction group with hospitality exposure.

The company concentrates on the luxury branded-residences segment in New Cairo, partnering with global hospitality brands rather than scaling horizontally across multiple Egyptian regions.

Track Record

Seldar Misr's most prominent move was the November 2020 launch of Al Jazi First Marriott Residences — the first JW Marriott Residences in Egypt, announced as a joint venture with Marriott International.

The project spans 62 feddans and includes a Marriott-operated residential component, alongside Al Jazi First Mall on 36,000 square metres of commercial space. The parent group's construction background backs the build quality on site.

Areas Served

Seldar Misr operates exclusively in New Cairo compounds 2026 at present, with a strategic location close to the Ring Road, Mohamed Naguib Axis, and 90th Street.

The site connects the project to Cairo International Airport and the heart of the Fifth Settlement. The developer has not yet diversified geographically into other Egyptian markets.

Project Portfolio

The active portfolio centres on a single flagship project, Al Jazi First Marriott Residences in New Cairo. The development is split into two land plots, with the first plot built on 26 feddans across three phases.

Unit sizes at Al Jazi First Marriott Residences New Cairo range from 59 to 280 square metres, with launch-phase payment plans extending up to five years.

The project is positioned as Egypt's first true pedestrian-led development with LEED green certification. It combines residential, hospitality, and retail components in an integrated mixed-use layout.

Why Buy from Seldar Misr

The core differentiator is Seldar Misr's exclusive partnership with Marriott International for branded residences — a rare positioning in the Egyptian market that lifts unit resale value and grants owners hotel-grade daily services.

The parent Gulf Building and Construction group adds an additional construction-quality guarantee versus newer developers. Focusing all resources on a single flagship project also reduces execution risk on delivery timelines.
