5A Waterway is one of the headline commercial and administrative mixed-use destinations in El Choueifat, at the heart of New Cairo, developed by The Waterway Developments on a 35,000 square metre plot (approximately 8 acres).
5A Waterway is not a residential compound. It is a mixed-use destination housing retail shops, Class A administrative offices, medical clinics, and food and beverage outlets, spread across eight buildings of ground floor plus four upper floors each.
The location sits on the Middle Ring Road, adjacent to One Ninety New Cairo, and targets three buyer segments: the yield-seeking investor, the firm hunting a Class A office, and the medical-clinic owner or retailer searching for a New Cairo address inside El Choueifat.
The Waterway Developments was founded in 2010, and its portfolio includes The Waterway New Cairo, The Capitalway in the New Administrative Capital, and The Waterway North Coast resort, alongside several adjacent commercial projects inside the same master plan.
5A Waterway was delivered in Q3 2023 with full finishing, and its units are now available on the resale market through First Sale and a number of brokers, with prices starting at 16,000,000 Egyptian pounds for the smallest office unit.
5A Waterway sits inside El Choueifat at the heart of New Cairo, on the Middle Ring Road, near South 90th Street and the Ain Sokhna Road axis, providing direct entry from a major arterial corridor.
The location commands a strong catchment area drawn from residents of El Choueifat compounds, the Fifth Settlement, and the First Settlement, plus office workers and visitors to neighbouring One Ninety. This centrality delivers a stable weekday footfall to 5A Waterway throughout the year.
Coordinates: 30.0145 N, 31.4565 E. You can view the exact location on the interactive map below this page, to measure 5A Waterway distance from your home or office anywhere in New Cairo.
The architecture of 5A Waterway combines a contemporary style with an open-plaza concept, featuring modern glass facades and shaded internal walkways. The project comprises eight high-end buildings, each rising across ground floor plus four upper floors.
The ground floor is dedicated to retail shops and food and beverage outlets, with ceiling heights sized for brand display, while the upper floors serve Class A administrative offices and specialised medical clinics, with a clear separation between visitor traffic and office staff flow.
The project features extensive green landscaping, pedestrian walkways, and water features distributed across the eight buildings, creating a comfortable open-plaza experience for visitors throughout business hours each day of the week.
Built-up coverage is moderate across the 35,000 sqm plot, with the balance allocated to plaza, landscape, and parking. This footprint differentiates 5A Waterway from denser enclosed malls elsewhere in New Cairo.
5A Waterway hosts a diversified mix of commercial, administrative, and medical units distributed across eight buildings. The mix serves the retail investor, the administrative firm owner, and the medical-clinic operator seeking a New Cairo address inside El Choueifat.
Retail shops start at 90 square metres, sized for mid-tier brands plus food chains and cafes. Class A administrative offices range between 154 and 214 square metres, suited to small and medium professional firms, legal practices, and corporate satellite offices across New Cairo.
Medical clinics are offered in multiple sizes to fit different specialities, with infrastructure provisions to support clinical activity. The largest units extend to 2,500 square metres, sized for investors hunting flexible spaces capable of being combined.
5A Waterway unit prices in the current market start at 16,000,000 Egyptian pounds for a 70 sqm office, rise to more than 46,200,000 Egyptian pounds for a 264 sqm unit, and reach 85,000,000 Egyptian pounds for the larger flagship spaces.
Average commercial price per sqm at 5A Waterway ranges between 175,000 and 280,000 Egyptian pounds per square metre for standard offices, with premium tiers reaching 330,969 Egyptian pounds per square metre for fully furnished units in prime plaza positions.
Ground-floor retail with internal-walkway frontage carries the top per-sqm tier, followed by Class A administrative offices on upper floors, then specialised medical clinics. This stratification is standard across every mixed-use commercial project in New Cairo.
5A Waterway prices vary by three factors: use type, floor and plaza view, and total unit area. Contact the CompoundGate team for the live price list segmented by unit category at 5A Waterway.
The project was physically delivered in Q3 2023, yet remaining First Sale units from the developer still offer flexible payment options: 10 per cent down with the balance over 3 years, 20 per cent down over 4 years, or 30 per cent down over 5 years.
On a unit priced at 16,000,000 Egyptian pounds with a 10 per cent down payment, the investor pays 1,600,000 Egyptian pounds at contract and installs the balance of 14,400,000 Egyptian pounds over three years. An extended schedule of 28 instalments over seven years is also available for smaller-instalment buyers.
Most instalments at 5A Waterway are scheduled on a quarterly basis. Resale-market units are typically transacted with shorter horizons (cash or two-year terms) because the building is delivered and tenanted, removing construction risk from the deal.
Commercial investment in 5A Waterway rests on three drivers. First, the project was already delivered in Q3 2023, meaning the investor receives a ready-to-move unit and begins generating footfall immediately, with no multi-year construction wait.
Second, the El Choueifat location inside New Cairo draws a daily catchment of compound residents and visitors to neighbouring One Ninety. This delivers a stable weekday and weekend footfall right across the operating year.
Third, the use mix reduces operating risk. Retail trades during the day, Class A offices run continuous occupancy, and medical clinics deliver patient flow throughout the week. The building therefore runs profitably across every weekday business hour in New Cairo.
Expected yields at 5A Waterway: ground-floor retail 10 to 13 per cent annually, Class A administrative offices 8 to 11 per cent, and medical clinics 9 to 12 per cent. These rates exceed typical New Cairo residential rental yields.
Compared to sister Waterway Developments projects such as The Hub and Kairo, 5A Waterway stands out as a mixed-use commercial scheme that is already delivered, rather than an off-plan alternative still waiting on handover.
5A Waterway delivers a full operating amenity set that turns the project into an integrated work and shopping destination for office tenants, clinic operators, and retail visitors inside El Choueifat, with professional operating standards across the New Cairo market.
Project management is handled by a dedicated The Waterway Developments operations team charged with sustaining occupancy and consistent service standards across the plaza. This protects unit value over the long term and sustains the footfall projection inside 5A Waterway.
The headline features of 5A Waterway combine its El Choueifat location, the open-plaza design, and the fact that delivery was completed in 2023, all underwritten by The Waterway Developments operating record:
First drawback: the project was delivered in 2023, and most ready units have already been sold, so options now in the resale market are priced higher than the original launch price.
Mitigation: ongoing commercial yield offsets the price gap, because the unit is ready for operation from day one and generates rent without any wait. Some First Sale units from the developer remain available with competitive payment plans.
Second drawback: Middle Ring Road traffic gets heavy during morning and evening peak hours, which can affect visitor access at specific times of the day for retail tenants on the ground floor.
Mitigation: the open-plaza design and the generous parking capacity serve visitors well outside peak hours, and the resident customer base drawn from El Choueifat compounds does not depend on the Middle Ring Road for access.
The Waterway Developments was founded in 2010, and its portfolio concentrates on premium projects across New Cairo and the North Coast. The firm is recognised as one of the experienced developers building mixed-use destinations at consistent operating quality.
Headline The Waterway Developments projects include The Waterway New Cairo, Kairo, W Signature, The Hub commercial mall, The View Waterway, Triangle, Waterway Branded Residence, plus The Capitalway in the New Administrative Capital and The Waterway North Coast resort.
The Waterway Developments operating record is particularly strong inside New Cairo, where the firm has developed an integrated cluster of intertwined residential and commercial projects. This reassures the 5A Waterway investor on construction quality and operating standards after delivery.

5A Waterway sits in El Choueifat at the heart of New Cairo on the Middle Ring Road, 5 minutes from One Ninety and 10 minutes from South 90th Street, with direct arterial access into the Fifth Settlement core.
Coordinates are 30.0145 N, 31.4565 E, with a 20-minute drive to Cairo International Airport and 25 minutes to the New Administrative Capital via the Mohammed Bin Zayed axis.
5A Waterway hosts retail shops starting from 90 square metres, Class A administrative offices between 154 and 214 square metres, and medical clinics in multiple sizes suited to different specialities across the New Cairo market.
The largest units extend to 2,500 square metres for investors hunting flexible spaces capable of being combined. Units are distributed across eight buildings each rising ground floor plus four upper floors.
Expected commercial yields at 5A Waterway: ground-floor retail 10 to 13 per cent annually, Class A administrative offices 8 to 11 per cent annually, and medical clinics 9 to 12 per cent annually, all above typical New Cairo residential rental yields.
Yields are underpinned by daily traffic from El Choueifat compound residents and One Ninety visitors next door, with stable weekday and weekend footfall projections throughout the operating year.
Tenant mix at 5A Waterway includes a blend of local boutique brands and international food chains on the ground floor, with administrative firms and specialised medical clinics across the upper floors, per the live tenant lineup since 2023.
For the current tenant lineup and available units coming up for new leases, contact CompoundGate for an up-to-date brief direct from The Waterway Developments team.
First Sale units from the developer offer flexible payment options: 10 per cent down with 3-year instalments, 20 per cent down with 4-year instalments, or 30 per cent down with 5-year instalments. A 28-instalment 7-year schedule is also available.
On a unit priced at 16,000,000 Egyptian pounds with a 10 per cent down payment, the buyer pays 1,600,000 Egyptian pounds at contract and installs 14,400,000 Egyptian pounds over three years. Resale units typically transact cash or on short-term terms.
5A Waterway was officially delivered in Q3 2023 with full finishing, and the project has been operating commercially since that date with active retail, administrative, and medical tenants in place.
This means the investor receives a ready-to-move unit and begins operating immediately, with no multi-year construction wait or handover delay risk that off-plan New Cairo projects still carry.
5A Waterway offers parking capacity for hundreds of vehicles across surface lots distributed between the eight buildings, serving ground-floor retail visitors and upper-floor office and clinic tenants at a sound ratio for a mixed-use commercial project.
Expected daily footfall stays stable thanks to a customer base of El Choueifat compound residents and One Ninety visitors, with steady activity across weekdays and weekend traffic peaks.
