ALJAR Developments has introduced the first phase of its new project, Aljar British District, in East Cairo, with total investments estimated at EGP 20bn, spanning more than 70 feddans
Dr. Ahmed Abdel Mageed—Member of Parliament, Deputy Chairman of the Housing Committee, and Founder of ALJAR Developments—said that the first phase will feature approximately 1,200 residential and serviced units. The hotel component will be operated by the international Concorde Hotels and Resorts and developed in line with innovative architectural designs
Abdel Mageed added that construction will be limited to no more than 25% of the total land area, ensuring that the majority of the space is devoted to green landscapes and a wide range of recreational amenities
He noted that construction work had already commenced ahead of the project’s official launch — a move that underscores the company’s solid financial capacity and unwavering commitment to on-time delivery
To mark the project’s launch, Abdel Mageed announced a 10% discount on initial offering prices, stressing that Aljar British District will stand out as a landmark development in East Cairo’s real estate market
He further explained that the project represents a significant addition to the concept of fully integrated residential communities, featuring swimming pools, expansive green areas, pedestrian pathways, as well as a fully equipped clubhouse with a gym, spa, and relaxation lounges
Abdel Mageed pointed out that the project enjoys a prime location in the heart of East Cairo — directly on the Suez Road, opposite the Open Air Mall in Madinaty, and just minutes from the New Administrative Capital and Cairo International Airport. This strategic situation makes it one of the area’s most sought-after residential and investment destinations, particularly with its easy access to key routes such as Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis
The development also includes a fully integrated educational district, featuring first accredited British Medical Sciences University, which will grant degrees directly from the prestigious Aston University in partnership with British company NHMC. This district represents around 35% of the project, established under a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding with Aston University. The project’s medical and commercial zones stretches over 25 feddans
The university will offer undergraduate and postgraduate programs in medicine and health sciences, with degrees awarded directly from Aston University. The integrated campus will feature a hospital, healthcare villages, and state-of-the-art educational and recreational facilities. The programs are scheduled to launch in September 2027, targeting both Egyptian and international students
The company’s founder highlighted that the project represents the first fully integrated residential community combining luxury living, medical education, and healthcare under one roof. It will also include a modern commercial and administrative district powered by the latest smart technologies and round-the-clock security systems
In line with its vision to deliver a world-class development, Abdel Mageed indicated that the company has engaged a distinguished group of top consultancy firms from Egypt and the region, bringing their expertise to ensure a real estate product that combines quality, modern design, and international standards
Aljar British District’s commercial part was designed by world-renowned Egyptian architect Raef Fahmy, while the landscape design was led by Eng. Tarek Sobhy, Chairman of Okoplan
Additionally, the project includes 67 residential buildings, each consisting of a basement, ground floor with a garden, four upper floors, and a rooftop, spread across 45 feddans. The design ensures optimal standards of natural ventilation, ample lighting, efficient use of open spaces, and the integration of artificial lakes
The development also offers a diverse range of residential units tailored to meet various customer needs, starting from one-bedroom apartments sized between 66 and 72 sqm, two-bedroom units ranging from 116 to 132 sqm, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 151 to 188 sqm
He concluded that the company provides flexible payment plans starting with only a 5% down payment, with installment options extending up to seven years. The project is scheduled for full delivery within three years, reflecting the company’s commitment to precision and quality in execution
