Marakez Developments builds residential communities, coastal destinations, office buildings and retail centres across Cairo, the North Coast, the Red Sea and the Delta cities. Its projects pair real estate with the services that support its use, as seen in District 5, which brings together living, working, shopping and sport; Ramla, which combines coastal homes with hospitality and activities; and Mall of Arabia, a leading destination in West Cairo.

About Marakez

Marakez's roots in the Egyptian market go back to the opening of Mall of Arabia in December 2010. In 2015, the Fawaz Alhokair Group founded Marakez to develop and manage mixed-use projects in Egypt.

The company belongs to a group with deep experience in shopping centres, retail and brand management. That background helped it move from developing malls to creating communities that bring together homes, offices, restaurants, entertainment and everyday services within a single master plan.

Marakez Developments operates in 4 core sectors:

About Marakez
  • Residential projects.
  • Resorts and coastal destinations.
  • Offices and business headquarters.
  • Retail and entertainment centres.

The company does not apply a single model in every location: its Cairo projects rely on housing, services and workplaces, Ramla and Shams Soma focus on coastal living, and Marakez malls serve the needs of each city according to its audience.

Investing in Marakez Projects

Investment value depends on the location, actual operation and the type of unit. The company stands out for its experience in integrating commercial services into residential projects, which reduces residents' future reliance on outside services.

Apartments enjoy a wider base of buyers and tenants, while villas and chalets target more specific segments. As for offices, their value is affected by space efficiency, parking, operating fees and proximity to business areas.
