El Aasar, chairman of Margins Development, described the project as a key milestone in moving into upscale market segments.

Exclusive resort focuses on green spaces

The resort offers 190 luxury units focused on privacy and sophistication, with 81% green spaces, top-tier dining, entertainment, retail, and hotel-style pools. An exclusive Marriott Bonvoy partnership gives property owners two years of Gold Elite status.

El Aasar noted that the company, launched in 2021 with EGP1.5 billion ($30.4 million) in investments, is near Cairo’s major hubs. The project is Egypt’s first business complex with WELL certification from the International WELL Building Institute.

The company is also running promotions for its Oaks Egypt hotel in the New Administrative Capital, a EGP3.5 billion ($71 million) project launched in 2022, marking Egypt’s debut of the Oaks brand by Minor Hotels. New real estate projects are set to launch in Q4 2024.
