Sixth Settlement projects, compared by the numbers

Sixth Settlement, New Cairo: Your Complete Guide to Projects, Prices and Investment in 2026

The Sixth Settlement is the newest official urban extension of New Cairo, launched across 4,800 feddans on the land formerly known as the “Hope Triangle”, between the Ain Sokhna Road and the Middle Ring Road, and minutes from the New Administrative Capital. Since the name was formally adopted in February 2024, the area has turned into a race between more than 13 developers, with projects whose units start at around EGP 2.4 million, selected plans with 0% down payments, and instalments of up to 14 years.

On this page we have gathered everything you need to know before you buy: the location and the map, how the area is divided internally, the leading compounds, up-to-date price-per-metre figures, and a frank assessment of the investment case — all with figures sourced from official announcements and recent market reports.

What is the Sixth Settlement, and why did the Hope Triangle change its name?

For many years, the area south-east of New Cairo was known as the “Hope Triangle” — a stretch of desert enclosed by three main roads in a triangular shape. The real shift came in February 2024, when the New Urban Communities Authority approved the name “Sixth Settlement” for the 4,800-feddan area, along with instructions to accelerate its development given its strategic position, according to Ahram Gate, citing the New Cairo City Development Authority.

According to statements by Eng. Abdel Raouf El-Gheity, head of the New Cairo City Development Authority, the Sixth Settlement represents the urban extension of New Cairo and aims to create a new, fully integrated community. Put precisely: it is not a standalone city, but the newest generation of New Cairo’s settlements after the First, Third and Fifth — under the same government authority, with more modern planning.

According to New Cairo City Authority figures published by Ahram Gate, the wider southern extension covers close to 16,000 feddans, with the Sixth Settlement occupying 4,800 feddans within it.

The Sixth Settlement on the map

The Sixth Settlement occupies a rare position on the map of east Cairo: it is bounded by the Cairo–Ain Sokhna Road to the south and the Cairo–Suez Desert Road on the other side, while only the Middle Ring Road separates it from the Fifth Settlement. Its eastern edge runs almost along the boundary of the New Administrative Capital.

In practice, that location translates into short drive times:

• Hyde Park Compound and the Fifth Settlement: about 10 minutes.
• The American University in Cairo (AUC): about 20 minutes.
• South 90th Street: about 25 minutes.
• Nasr City: about 40 minutes, with Heliopolis and Maadi at roughly 50 minutes.

The area is served by a network of corridors including the Suez Road, the Middle Ring Road, the Ain Sokhna/Katameya Road, the South 90th Street extension and the Mohamed Naguib Axis. The city authority has also completed a new 5.3-kilometre axis linking the Middle Ring Road to the 90th Street extension, connecting the heart of New Cairo directly to the Sixth Settlement.

How the Sixth Settlement is divided internally

The area’s strategic master plan is clear about how land uses are distributed, and understanding it helps you assess any project before you buy:

The commercial and administrative spine: South 90th Street runs through the Sixth Settlement and has been designated as the area’s commercial, administrative and service backbone — mirroring the role 90th Street played in the rise of the Fifth Settlement — with land allocated for malls and office projects along both sides.

The head of the triangle: occupied by Zed East, developed by Ora Developers, owned by businessman Naguib Sawiris. This was the project that gave the area its early marketing momentum.

The Beit Al Watan district: roughly 260 feddans allocated to land plots for Egyptians living abroad, under the eighth phase of the government programme.

Residential compounds: the remaining land is distributed across integrated projects by major developers, alongside large service zones such as Al-Azhar’s Islamic Missions City, the Judges’ Club, and an annex to St Mark’s Cathedral allocated 30 feddans under Presidential Decree No. 170 of 2015, as described in the Coptic Orthodox Church’s account of the project.

Why is the Sixth Settlement leading the market right now?

Five reasons explain the current race between developers and buyers:

1. A lower entry price than its expensive neighbour. According to Aqarmap’s New Cairo indicators at the time of this update, apartments average about EGP 58,250 per square metre and compounds about EGP 70,050. By comparison, the sample of Sixth Settlement projects published on this site starts at about EGP 34,000 per square metre.

2. A location between two centres. The area is the natural link between New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital, and any growth in either direction is reflected here.

3. Newer planning and lower density. Most compounds in the area operate at build ratios of only 15–20%, with the larger share given over to green space and water features.

4. The presence of major developers. Ora, Marakez, Hyde Park, La Vista, Cred, El Kazar and others — the presence of these names at such an early stage is a confidence signal not every emerging area enjoys.

5. Clear government momentum. From Beit Al Watan land offerings to integrated-urban-activity tenders and project master-plan approvals published in issues 39 and 41 of the Egyptian Official Gazette, the available record documents continuing development activity in the area.

The leading compounds and projects in the Sixth Settlement

The list below covers the most significant projects operating in the area as of 2026, with the headline figures for each:

Zed East — Ora (Naguib Sawiris): the area’s largest project, spanning roughly 420 feddans at the head of the triangle, with a 15% build ratio and a 43-feddan sports and social club. Units range from 63 m² up to villas exceeding 250 m², with payment plans of up to 10 years.

District 6 and Crescent Walk — Marakez: an integrated master plan across roughly 118 feddans, split 70% villas and 30% apartments, with sizes from 89 m² apartments up to 520 m² villas.

Hyde Park Central — Hyde Park: a mixed-use community across roughly 220 feddans combining residential with commercial and administrative uses, with payment plans extending to 10 years.

Ever — Cred: a project on 128.5 feddans with announced investments of EGP 30 billion in partnership with the New Urban Communities Authority, and open space reaching 80%.

El Patio Vida and El Patio Riva — La Vista: the well-known El Patio series extending into the area, with projects ranging between 55 and 100 feddans. Sales at El Patio Riva (75 feddans in the Fourth District) opened in August 2025.

Glen — El Kazar: a villa and townhouse project with sizes starting at 180 m² and prices starting from around EGP 18 million.

Also worth tracking: Noll by Click (apartments from 88 m²), Malif by Culture (apartments from around EGP 3.2 million), Nest by Nawasy (51 feddans), Alca by Sage (33 feddans with construction well advanced), Lusail Residence by Margins, Grounds by One of One (units from 60 m², with selected plans requiring no down payment), alongside Tierra, Home Residence and Midtown East.

Every one of these projects has a detailed page on our site covering the master plan, unit sizes and current payment plans — you can compare them all from the projects page.

Sixth Settlement prices in 2026: the price per metre in figures

Based on the latest project data published on this site and checked on 31 August 2026, prices currently fall within the following ranges:

Apartments inside compounds: published prices start at EGP 34,000 per square metre and reach EGP 86,000 depending on the project and finishing level. For example: Home Residence from around EGP 36,900 per metre, Alca from EGP 45,000, Malif and Noll in the EGP 54,000–55,000 range, Lusail Residence between EGP 57,000 (semi-finished) and EGP 72,000 (fully finished), La Vista’s projects reach EGP 84,000, while Hyde Park Central is listed at EGP 86,000 per square metre.

Total unit prices: apartments start at around EGP 2.4 million for the smaller units, while villas and townhouses in the larger projects start in the EGP 16–19 million range.

Payment plans: reservation down payments start at 0% on selected plans, while instalment periods reach 14 years depending on the developer.

Land-offering benchmark: according to authority offering data reported by Al Mal, a 329,000 m² integrated-urban-activity plot was offered in July 2024 at EGP 9,035 per square metre, followed by another plot in September 2024 at EGP 11,315 per square metre. That is a calculated increase of about 25% in two months, although the two plots differ in size.

Prices in areas still under development change quickly, so we always recommend confirming the final price and payment plan directly before you reserve — our team will get you the latest developer price lists at no cost.

Beit Al Watan in the Sixth Settlement

Within the Sixth Settlement, the state allocated the eighth phase of the Beit Al Watan programme for Egyptians working abroad: roughly 260 feddans in total, divided into 891 residential plots adjacent to the Zed East project. The New Cairo City Development Authority began handing over reserved plots from 1 July 2025 through 4 September 2025, against payment of 1.5% of the land value on receipt, according to the Ministry of Housing announcement on Egypt’s official real-estate platform.

A standalone-plot district of that size inside the settlement means a varied residential mix in future: gated compounds and premium residential buildings side by side — a model that has already proven itself in Beit Al Watan in the Fifth Settlement.

Infrastructure: how far has construction actually got?

The picture on the ground so far: a 5.3-kilometre main axis fully completed and connecting the area to the South 90th Street extension, internal connecting roads under construction, and drinking water, sewage, electricity and telecoms works progressing in parallel with the roads under the direct supervision of the city authority.

Just outside the settlement’s boundary, the Fifth Settlement’s completed services are already available: the American University, other universities and international schools, the major hospitals, and the 90th Street malls. That is an advantage which keeps residents of the early phases from being cut off from services until the Sixth Settlement’s own commercial strip along South 90th Street is finished.

Is now the right time to buy in the Sixth Settlement?

The honest answer depends on your goal:

For medium- and long-term investment: the area may appeal to buyers who accept the risks of a district still under development. The land-offering data above shows a calculated increase of about 25% between two differently sized plots over two months, alongside major developers and announced investment. Past pricing does not guarantee future returns, however, and any growth forecast remains a market estimate affected by execution, delivery and demand.

For moving in immediately: the area is still under construction, and most projects deliver within 3–4 years. If living there soon is your priority, the better fit is either the near-delivery projects inside the area or ready units in the neighbouring Fifth Settlement — and our team can shortlist both for comparison.

The golden rule here: in emerging areas, the developer’s name and delivery track record matter no less than the price. That is why each project page on our site shows the developer’s background and previous projects before any marketing figures.
