Master Plan and Design

The Square is designed as a mixed-use project, combining residential units, administrative offices, and a commercial strip with restaurants, cafés and retail.

The compound holds only 121 residential units across 110 feddan — roughly one unit per 3,800 square metres — exceptionally low density that creates privacy and an upscale neighbourhood feel.

The plan separates the residential core from the commercial zone and the administrative offices, with walking paths and landscaped gardens between zones to protect privacy.

Architecture combines contemporary style with natural materials (stone, wood) and abundant glazing facing the wide green areas.

The Square is built on a "Live-Work-Play" philosophy that integrates residential life with work and leisure in a single fabric — saving residents time and commute.

Unit Types and Sizes in The Square

The Square offers a varied mix of five residential typologies addressing households across many sizes and budgets.

Apartments are the largest category at 89 units, ranging from 121 to 250 square metres in 2- and 3-bedroom layouts, mostly with central garden views.

Penthouses cover 8 units sized 168 to 220 square metres, with private rooftop terraces and panoramic views — a limited premium tier.

Townhouses include 14 units sized 262 to 380 square metres in 3- and 4-bedroom configurations, with private gardens and roof terraces.

Twin houses cover 8 units sized 260 to 355 square metres in 4-bedroom layouts, sharing only one wall with a neighbour.

Just one standalone villa exists inside the project at 263 square metres — the rarest unit, targeting buyers seeking a unique footprint.

Every The Square unit delivers Fully Finished – Super Lux, with kitchens, bathrooms and air conditioning installed and ready to occupy or rent immediately.

The Square Compound Prices 2026

The Square prices in 2026 start from 5,100,000 Egyptian pounds for a 121-square-metre apartment — roughly 42,150 Egyptian pounds per square metre.

Larger 200-250-square-metre apartments range between 12,000,000 and 18,000,000 Egyptian pounds, depending on position and unit view.

Penthouses sized 168 to 220 square metres run between 14,500,000 and 22,000,000 Egyptian pounds, depending on size and rooftop terrace view.

Townhouses sized 262 to 380 square metres range between 21,000,000 and 32,000,000 Egyptian pounds, varying by position and private garden size.

Twin houses and the single villa start from 22,000,000 Egyptian pounds and reach above 35,000,000 Egyptian pounds for the largest units.

Average price per square metre runs between 80,000 and 90,000 Egyptian pounds — reasonable for an upscale Al-Rawda compound in central Fifth Settlement.

Payment Plans

Al Ahly Sabbour offers a payment plan for The Square: 10-11% down payment, with the balance over 6-7 years interest-free, depending on phase and unit.

On a 12,000,000 Egyptian pound unit, that is a 1,200,000 Egyptian pound down payment and roughly 128,571 Egyptian pounds per month over 84 months.

For delivered units (Ready to Move) in earlier phases, payment varies — full cash, bank mortgage financing, or partial deferred payment direct with the seller.

The Square also offers cash discounts for buyers paying the full price within three months of contract signing, with savings depending on the phase rate.

Al Ahly Sabbour's strong delivery record, including some Square phases delivered since 2022, reduces the risk of long installment commitments on newer phases.

Investment Outlook

Investing in The Square combines resale-margin opportunities with rental yield from buyers seeking residential or administrative space in a prime location.

Average annual rental yield on a 150-square-metre apartment runs between 6 and 8% — solid for an Al-Rawda apartment.

Proximity to AUC creates persistent rental demand from families, faculty members, and foreign graduate students.

The on-site offices and retail strip generate active work and leisure throughout the day, sustaining demand for prime-located residential units.

Early market presence (launched 2022) with partial delivery means an active resale market — making resale-margin gains accessible to early-phase contractors.

Services and Amenities

The Square has a central clubhouse with restaurants, cafés, social rooms, indoor gyms, and multiple swimming pools (adult, kids, indoor).

Sports facilities include football, basketball, tennis courts, plus jogging tracks and walking paths around landscaped areas, alongside kids' play zones.

Security covers electronic gates with 24-hour CCTV, regular patrols, and equipped underground parking to keep internal streets uncongested.

The retail strip includes a hypermarket, varied shops, and international cafés and restaurants, covering daily needs without leaving the gates.

Administrative offices inside The Square target small and medium-sized companies preferring an upscale Fifth Settlement location close to clients.

Features and Highlights

The headline feature is the mixed-use nature combining residential, work and leisure in one location — saving residents time and commute.

The very low density (121 residential units across 110 feddan) creates privacy and uncrowded common spaces — the opposite of mega-compounds with thousands of units.

The unit-type variety (apartments through villa) lets a buyer pick the right ticket size without compromising on amenities — every tier accesses the same services.

The Al-Rawda / South 90 location places The Square in one of New Cairo's most prestigious zones, sustaining demand from professionals and academics.

Adjacency to AUC (just 4 minutes) makes The Square a flagship academic-area compound, with international schools and educational facilities within minutes.

Drawbacks and How to Mitigate

The biggest drawback is the mixed-use nature, which can reduce privacy compared with pure-residential compounds, particularly during morning office hours.

Mitigation: choose a unit in the residential-only phase, away from the office and retail zones, leveraging the project's separated-flow design.

A second concern is staggered handover across phases — some units are already delivered while others are still under construction, creating active build zones inside parts of the compound.

Mitigation: confirm the specific phase before purchase and choose a unit in a fully-delivered phase to avoid neighbouring construction.

The Developer — Al Ahly Sabbour Developments

The Square is built by Al Ahly Sabbour Developments, founded in 1994 as a joint venture between the National Bank of Egypt and the Sabbour Consulting engineering group.

Sabbour Consulting itself dates to 1957, giving the group more than 65 years of cumulative experience in Egyptian real estate and engineering consultancy.

The Square is one of Al Ahly Sabbour's flagship New Cairo projects, officially launched in 2022, with phased delivery rolling out over subsequent years.

Their broader portfolio spans Katameya Hills, The Ridge, At East, Layan, Odyssia, Keeva 6 October, Grand Residence, Etoile de Ville, and Wood Walks.

In the first half of 2024, Al Ahly Sabbour reported sales of 25.5 billion Egyptian pounds — a 400% year-over-year increase signalling strong market confidence.

Buying in The Square means investing in a project from one of Egypt's most established developers, in a prime Al-Rawda location next to AUC.

For all the developer's projects: All Al Ahly Sabbour projects on CompoundGate.

The third concern is the relatively high price-per-square-metre (around 85,000 Egyptian pounds per square metre) in Al-Rawda, reflecting location quality and area maturity.
