JLL’s Q3 2025 Market Dynamics report signals a renewed upswing in Cairo’s real estate sector, driven by government-led reforms, improved macroeconomic stability, and stronger investor sentiment. Targeted structural measures, multiple interest-rate cuts, and ambitious FDI goals are reshaping investment behavior and reinforcing confidence across the market, Invest-Gate reports.
The momentum follows the September launch of the “National Narrative for Economic Development,” an action plan aligned with Egypt Vision 2030 that elevates the private sector as a primary engine of growth. The initiative introduces bold FDI targets for 2030 and seeks to boost competitiveness across strategic industries, generating spillover benefits for real estate.
Ayman Sami, Country Head of JLL Egypt, said: “Substantial policy reforms, supported by a strong foundation of advanced infrastructure and urban expansion are sustaining investor appetite in Egypt’s resilient real estate market. The sector’s recovery throughout 2025 has positioned it as a favored hedge against declining interest rates and currency volatility. This continued confidence in a gradually rebounding market highlights both the near-term opportunities and longer-term potential of a dynamically evolving market.”
Government efforts—including an EGP 5bn package for MSMEs and young entrepreneurs and simplified investment procedures aimed at attracting a 20–30% rise in FDI—are boosting business sentiment and underpinning the recovery of the office market. Demand from multinational firms continues to lift occupancy in prime business parks, driving a 7.6% year-on-year increase in prime rents.
In the residential sector, growth prospects are improving, with 13,800 units expected for delivery in Q4 2025 and top developers expanding through aggressive land acquisitions. Flexible payment plans have strengthened sales for major players, while smaller developers face tighter cash-flow conditions. Although resale prices saw moderate annual growth in Q3, further declines in interest rates are expected to accelerate the shift of investor capital from bank deposits to property, reviving both primary and secondary markets and paving the way for new project launches.
