Project Details: Residence 8 (New Capital)
Residence 8 is a 23-acre premium compound in the R8 District. The project is designed by the award-winning Yasser Al-Beltagy (YBA), the same architect behind the iconic Alamein Towers.
- Smart Design: The master plan utilizes V-shaped building clusters to ensure that 100% of the units have an open view of either the central park or the water features.
- Unit Diversity & Sizes:
- 2-Bedroom Apartments: 110 $m^2$ to 115 $m^2$.
- 3-Bedroom Apartments: 150 $m^2$ to 195 $m^2$.
- Duplexes: From 200 $m^2$ up to 360 $m^2$.
- Construction Status (2026): The project is partially delivered. While Phase 1 handovers started in early 2026, subsequent phases are on track for completion through 2027-2028. Units are typically delivered semi-finished to allow for personal customization.
