District 5 Compound in New Cairo brings residential neighbourhoods, business headquarters, shopping and sport together in a single project in the New Katameya area. The project covers 268 feddans and includes apartments, duplexes, lofts and townhouses, with areas that vary by phase and model and, in the current releases, start from small and mid-sized units.
Marakez developed the project for everyday living, not as an isolated residential cluster: the residential area is connected to D5M mall, Club5, the District 5 Work offices and the restaurants and services that can be reached from inside the project.

District 5 Size and Design
The project covers 268 feddans, and its plan is built on 5 interconnected components: living, working, shopping, sport, and restaurants and entertainment.
The residential areas are divided into clusters that differ in unit type, building heights and views. Gardens and walkways run between them, linking the homes to the services, while the busier commercial activity is kept away from the inner residential zones.

Residential Units in District 5
Marakez offers a general area range of 127 to 343 m², while the most recent releases include units starting from smaller areas in some phases.
District 5 Apartments
Apartments range from 1-bedroom units to larger family apartments, along with ground-floor units that come with gardens. The internal layout varies by building and phase, especially in the reception area, the number of bathrooms and the size of the terrace.
Apartments suit those who want to live close to retail and business services, with lower running costs than standalone homes.
Duplexes and Lofts
These units offer 2 internal levels, or different heights and designs from the usual apartment. They give the family better separation between the bedrooms and the reception areas, but you need to evaluate the internal staircase and the space it takes up in moving between the two floors.
District 5 Townhouses
A townhouse offers a private entrance and garden within a group of connected homes. It gives the family more privacy than an apartment, usually at a lower price and with less land than a standalone villa.

Investing in District 5
The project's main investment strengths are that part of its services are already operating, the variety of uses inside it, and its proximity to the 90th Street, Maadi and the Middle Ring Road.
An apartment benefits from the presence of offices, restaurants and services, which can support demand for housing and rentals. A townhouse speaks to a family looking for a home with a garden in East Cairo, but it requires more capital and higher maintenance costs.
