Project Details

Catalan New Capital is a flagship residential project that brings the artistic soul of Barcelona to Egypt.

• Scale & Land Use: The development covers approximately 38 to 40 acres (165,000 m²) in a prime urban location.
• Low Density: In line with luxury standards, only 18% to 22% of the land is built up. The remaining 80% is dedicated to a "Green & Blue" master plan featuring lush landscapes, artificial lakes, and swimmable lagoons.
• Architectural Vision: Inspired by the legendary Antoni Gaudí, the project features flowing Mediterranean facades, intricate window detailing, and double-height ceilings that foster a sense of "Spanish Modernism."
• Unit Typologies: The community offers a diverse inventory of roughly 1,900 units, including apartments (115–200 m²), penthouses, duplexes (335–382 m²), and a limited collection of twin houses and standalone villas.

Project Location

Strategically positioned in the heart of the R7 District (Plot L2), Catalan sits in one of the New Capital’s most developed and sought-after residential sectors.

• Major Connectivity: Located only 1.5 km from the Airport Road, with direct links to the Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis and the Regional Ring Road, putting New Cairo just 20 minutes away.
