Wadi Degla Developments held its annual press conference, during which it reviewed its 2025 operational results, announcing a third consecutive year of fulfilling its delivery commitments, while also unveiling its strategic direction for 2026, Invest-Gate reports.

2025 Operational Results

The company delivered 1,500 units in 2025, maintaining a consistent delivery pace of approximately three units per day. For the third consecutive year, Wadi Degla achieved this level of performance in a market where delivery delays have become a widespread challenge, eroding buyer confidence across the sector. Notably, over the past three years, the company has consistently ranked among Egypt’s top ten developers in terms of units delivered.

Company Strategy and Delivery Commitment

In this context, Raymond Ahdy, Chief Executive Officer of Wadi Degla Developments, stated: “Our ability to deliver year after year, through successive devaluations, inflationary pressures, and supply chain disruptions, is not the result of working harder, but of fundamentally restructuring how we operate.”

He added: “The correct way to read the past three years is as a single sequence. In 2023 and 2024, our sales outperformed the market by 18% and 48% respectively. In 2025, our performance aligned with overall market movement. This was not a decline in demand, but a reflection of limited new inventory available for sale. That inventory gap was the key driver behind our strategic shift toward growth, without compromising delivery priorities.”

Ahdy emphasized: “Growth is not in opposition to delivery. On the contrary, the delivery record is what builds confidence in any new launch. We do not choose between them.”

Expansion and Preparation for the Next Phase

In line with this strategy, 2025 marked a preparatory year for the company’s next growth phase. Wadi Degla completed a capital increase to reach EGP 2 bn and secured four new development sites with full regulatory approvals, establishing a strong financial and operational foundation for the upcoming phase.

Economic Conditions and Market Challenges

Ahdy noted: “Egypt entered 2026 with strong economic momentum, recording GDP growth of 4.4% and a decline in inflation from 34% to below 12% over three years, marking the strongest macroeconomic position since 2019. However, the outbreak of regional conflict on February 28 reversed this trajectory. The Egyptian pound lost around 10% of its value within a month, while construction material costs increased by 20% to 35%. Inflation, which reached 13.4% in February, is expected to rise to between 16% and 20% by mid-year, driven by energy, logistics, and input cost pressures. This pattern mirrors the post-2022 devaluation period, when the sector absorbed five consecutive rounds of construction cost repricing over two years.”

2026 Strategy and Growth Plan

Commenting on the sector outlook, Raymond added: “For real estate, this represents a phase of adjustment, with rising costs and renewed pressure on purchasing power. Buyer activity is expected to remain cautious in the first half of the year until the market recalibrates to new pricing levels. Wadi Degla’s 2026 targets were set in light of this reality. Since 2022, we have gone through repeated price increases, currency devaluations, and construction repricing cycles, which required us to adjust our plans accordingly. Despite headwinds, we chose to face challenges directly, as the Egyptian real estate market has historically absorbed such shocks. Demand does not disappear; it slows down and then returns. We are ready when it does.”

Within this context, Wadi Degla Developments is launching its 2026 growth program, targeting EGP 10 bn in sales and the delivery of 1,200 units during the year. The company’s project pipeline includes Vero in Sidi Abdel Rahman and Ojo in Ain Sokhna, both launched in Q1, as well as Club Town Al Minya, its first project in Upper Egypt, scheduled for Q2, and Neoparks in Mostakbal City, expected in Q4.

Wadi Degla enters 2026 with a clearer project pipeline, a more disciplined delivery model, and a growth strategy rooted in the same principle that has defined its performance over the past three years: commitments first.
