Planned Property Developments

In our New Cairo’s Property Development Part 1 post we looked at the immense task that is going into restructuring and expanding a very congested Cairo into the exciting New Cairo suburban communities of the future. As a matter of fact, many developments that are going to make up New Cairo eventually are already well on their way, caving a way for generations to come and combining modern living communal pods with ingenuity and smart design.

New Cairo (Egypt) is undergoing major urban development at the moment. Old Cairo’s outdated infrastructure is in dire need for new development to take the load off the city as more and more people settle into the area. Originally, Cairo was planned and built for a population of three to five million people. But it is clear to even a fledgling visitor that Cairo has outgrown its infrastructure long ago. With an estimated population of around 20 million people, it is exciting to see a new master planed development appearing in form of the New Cairo developments of urban areas.

Video Update – Hyde Park (Exclusive Villa Development in Cairo, Egypt)

If a picture says a thousand words, how many words does a video say?
We think a video summarises several thousand pictures.

A while ago, we showcased Hyde Park- New Cairo, the soon to be biggest and only masterplanned luxury gated community in Cairo, Egypt. It would comprise of 3000 exclusive villas with a 1 million square meter landscaped park. We just got hold of the Hyde Park video which pretty much summarises the lifestlye at this up market surburb of New Cairo.
