Egypt’s new urban development plan does not only comprise implementing new cities from scratch, but rather extends to reconstructing homes for the middle- and low-income segments. This is evident by the new presidential initiative “Housing for all Egyptians”.
In an attempt to rate the quality of life in the different new cities of Egypt, Invest-Gate exhibits the current efforts being undertaken by private real estate developers channeling their investments and resources to cater to the educational system of these potentially revolutionary urban areas. We aim to review how market players prioritize projects according to what contributes to improving living standards, while they also stick to the state's sustainable development goals.
Invest-Gate examines the extent to which COVID-19 led to a surge in the need for medical care within Egypt’s new mixed-use developments, therefore scrutinizing the impediments to the wide inclusion of health services within these communities to help property developers respond to this rising consumer need through their newly-crafted masterplans.
For the property sector, uncertainty began to color new market sentiment amid the rising COVID-19 unknowns, thereby making some clients puzzle over home buying and turn to rental options instead. This prompted Invest-Gate to probe if potential customers are reconsidering purchasing and are better off sticking with renting residential units as the Coronavirus-induced slump takes hold, asking real estate professionals to get to the bottom of the matter and map out the prevailing market conditions.
Over the years, building violations have posed a tremendous dilemma in Egypt. Correspondingly, the Egyptian government recently imposed a six-month ban on building permits, halting the construction of private housing in various urban cities. Invest-Gate digs deep into the matter and reaches out to several market experts to scrutinize this decision-making, which comes into effect after Egypt called for reconciliation over construction infractions recently, aiming to outline the law’s impact on private property developers and the overall real estate landscape.
Given the changing needs of a clientele, who is now contemplating whether their houses truly meet their new "Life as We Know It," Invest- Gate identifies how home design may change in response to the pandemic, going much deeper than reduced spaces or a renewed appreciation for separate rooms, in an attempt to provide a window into the new residential product.
The issue of slums has been one of the tremendous challenges that the Egyptian government has been trying hard to tackle, with the unplanned areas spanning a total area of over 106.8 acres cross-country, not to mention that 40% of Cairo’s residents are living in informal houses, based on the government’s estimates
The economics of real estate rests on supply and demand curves for being closely intertwined concepts, determining production and resource intensity, as well as, consumer spending. Therefore, Invest-Gate puts the Egyptian property sector under the spotlight, examining the current conditions of the two crucial poles of the industry, while laying hands on the trending tactics used by developers to excel and ace the market circumstances.
