Madinet Masr has won two prestigious awards at the Invest-Gate ACE Awards 2025, cementing its leadership in sustainable urban development and corporate social responsibility. The company received the Mixed-Use Project of the Year 2025 for its flagship development, Taj City, and the CSR Initiative of the Year 2025 – Heritage Preservation for its Buyut Al-Khalifa project in Historic Cairo. These awards highlight the company’s commitment to integrated urban innovation and heritage preservation in one of the most culturally significant areas of Cairo, Invest-Gate reports.
Taj City, awarded Mixed-Use Project of the Year, exemplifies a model for modern urban communities. The development integrates residential, commercial, administrative, and leisure facilities in a cohesive master plan. It features 11 residential compounds and two commercial projects designed to serve a variety of customer needs. The centerpiece is Tajed, Madinet Masr’s first fully integrated commercial and administrative destination, complemented by The Prism, a retail and entertainment hub. Additionally, the Shark Tank Business Park introduces a unique concept that merges work and leisure, inspired by the popular TV show, Shark Tank.
Kayan, another key component of Taj City, combines the Lemania Swiss International School (LSIS) and Klub Kayan, a sports and wellness facility, alongside Asten College. With direct access to major road networks, Taj City is also set to become the headquarters for Madinet Masr.
The CSR Initiative of the Year award recognizes Madinet Masr’s Buyut Al-Khalifa project, which focuses on restoring the urban fabric of Al-Rukbiyya Street in Historic Cairo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The initiative integrates heritage conservation with community development and environmental sustainability, improving the quality of life for local residents and preserving the area’s cultural identity.
Eng. Abdallah Salam, President & CEO of Madinet Masr, commented: “This dual recognition highlights our commitment to urban innovation and corporate social responsibility. Our approach goes beyond development; it addresses the real needs of individuals and communities, ensuring sustainable and integrated solutions that have a lasting impact.”
Eng. Mohamed Lashien, Senior Vice President of Product Development, said: “Winning the Mixed-Use Project of the Year award for Taj City underscores our dedication to creating sustainable urban communities that enhance the quality of life and align with global best practices.”
Dena Habib, Vice President of Corporate Relations, added: “The recognition for Buyut Al-Khalifa reflects our ‘Building Communities’ strategy, which focuses on preserving Egypt’s heritage, fostering economic empowerment, and reinforcing Cairo’s position as a cultural and tourism hub.”
Madinet Masr’s approach to sustainability is guided by its Cultivating Communities strategy, built on three pillars: providing shelter, reviving Egyptian heritage, and empowering communities. This holistic approach ensures a long-term positive impact on the communities it serves.
This latest recognition follows Madinet Masr’s previous awards, including Heritage Project of the Year for Bayt Al-Razzaz and the Sustainability Award 2025 from Amwal Al Ghad, solidifying its leadership in heritage preservation and sustainable development.
