Retaj Compound New Cairo by Ritaj Developments

Retaj Compound New Cairo sits directly behind Concord Plaza Mall along the southern stretch of 90th Street in the South Investors Area.

A fully completed residential project by Ritaj Real Estate Development where 70% of the total land was allocated to green space and landscaping.

 Retaj compound relies on low-rise buildings of a ground floor plus four repeated upper floors.

Every unit is handed over immediately with complete super lux finishing that includes air conditioning and a central satellite system.

Prices start from EGP 6,000,000.

The Meaning Behind the Name Retaj

In Arabic, the word “Ritaj” refers to a great, securely fastened gate, and the term historically describes the main door of the Kaaba.

The name therefore carries the sense of a fortified entrance that separates what lies inside from everything outside it.

That meaning maps directly onto how Retaj Compound was planned.

The compound is enclosed by a full perimeter wall with secured gates that hold back the traffic and noise of 90th Street, while keeping the community only minutes away from the main services of the Fifth Settlement.

A Detailed Overview of Retaj Compound

Retaj Compound started from a premise that runs against the norm in the South Investors Area.

Rather than adding height to multiply the unit count, Ritaj Real Estate Development committed to low-rise blocks of a ground floor plus four repeated upper floors only, which lowered population density across the compound and raised the level of privacy for every building.

The consequence of that planning decision shows up in the land allocation.

Only 30% of the site carries buildings, while 70% went to gardens, walkways and landscape elements, a ratio that places Retaj firmly among the low-density projects of the Fifth Settlement.

The buildings themselves were spaced apart and staggered so that every unit receives a comparable share of view and natural ventilation.

There are no blocked-in buildings sitting in a back row, which is the usual trade-off in densely built compounds.

Externally, the facades follow a contemporary language of clean horizontal lines and light earth tones rather than heavy classical ornament.

A choice that matches the project’s character as a quiet family community instead of a showpiece development.

Internal pathways were laid out for walking and cycling separately from vehicle routes, which makes moving around the compound safe for children.

Children’s play areas were distributed across the green pockets between the buildings rather than concentrated at a single point.

What genuinely separates Retaj from most compounds in the area is that it was never planned as a purely residential scheme.

Commercial and administrative units were built into the masterplan inside the gates, which gave residents their daily services without leaving the compound and gave investors a second asset class alongside residential.

The project also includes Retaj Mosque as a standalone facility within the grounds, along with ground-floor units that come with private attached gardens, offering a living experience closer to a townhouse at apartment pricing.

The most practical difference of all is that the compound has been completed and occupied for years.

Water, electricity, natural gas, drainage and central internet are all fully operational, and the landscaping has reached full maturity rather than existing as a drawing on a masterplan.

Retaj Compound Location

Retaj Compound occupies a plot inside the South Investors Area of the Fifth Settlement, specifically behind Concord Plaza Mall on the southern extension of 90th Street, just before you reach the American University in Cairo.

That position gives the project a rare double advantage.

On one side it sits on the edge of the most important commercial and service corridor in New Cairo, and on the other it holds the back row, away from the noise of the street itself and away from through traffic passing its gates.

The South Investors Area occupies what is commonly called the golden square at the heart of the Fifth Settlement.

Over recent years it has grown into a dense cluster of private and international universities alongside shopping malls, social clubs and the main branches of most banks, which has pushed it into the highest tier of rental demand in New Cairo.

The compound’s proximity to Mohamed Naguib Axis and to the 90th Street entrance opens two alternative exit routes for residents.

The first leads out to the Suez Road and the Ring Road, while the second connects to the Mohamed Bin Zayed Southern Axis heading towards the New Administrative Capital.

On the education side, the compound falls within reach of several international schools, most notably the Canadian International School, the American International School, Nile International School and SABIS International School, along with Cairo English School, which together cover a range of different curricula.

The compound is also surrounded by a network of social clubs and leisure destinations.

Wadi Degla Club, New Cairo Club and Katameya Club all lie in the immediate vicinity, while Point 90, Americana Plaza and City Plaza malls spread along 90th Street, with Cairo Festival City Mall further north.

Landmarks and Places Near Retaj Compound

Compounds Neighbouring Retaj Compound

The area around South Investors and 90th Street holds a number of projects that share Retaj’s location band but differ in unit model and stage of construction, which helps build a clearer picture of what the neighbourhood offers.

Stone Residence Compound — developed by PRE Developments in the Fifth Settlement, it offers apartments, duplexes and penthouses, making it the closest neighbour to Retaj in terms of unit type and target buyer.

Mountain View 1.1 Compound — one of Mountain View Developments’ established Fifth Settlement projects, spanning a wider mix that runs from apartments and i-villas through to townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas.

La Mirada Compound — a residential project by Grand Plaza Developments focused entirely on apartments, which puts it in the same category as Retaj for buyers who are not looking at villa products.

Century City Compound — developed by Vantage Developments with apartments, duplexes and penthouses, offering a newer-generation alternative within the same district for buyers comparing completed stock against recent launches.

Unit Types, Sizes and Prices in Retaj Compound

Retaj Compound offers a residential range that moves between mid-sized apartments and larger family units.

The smallest apartments begin at 93 sqm to suit small families and newly married couples, while the largest duplexes reach 261 sqm.

Between those two ends sit the two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments, alongside ground-floor units with private gardens and penthouses on the top floor.

All of them are handed over with complete super lux finishing that includes air conditioning and a central satellite system.

The internal layouts separate the living zone from the sleeping zone, so the reception and kitchen occupy an independent area near the entrance while the bedrooms sit in the opposite wing, a distribution that shields the rooms from visitor movement.

Most units come with one balcony or more overlooking the green spaces or the landscaped pathways between the buildings, and double-facing units are available in specific positions inside the compound, drawing ventilation and daylight from two directions.

The prices below reflect the asking prices of the currently available resale units, and they reflect the units currently offered within the project.

Dividing price by area places the price per meter inside Retaj Compound between EGP 39,600 and EGP 48,400 per sqm.

The variation from one unit to another comes down to the floor level, the building’s position within the compound and the quality of the view over the green areas.

Ground-floor units with gardens and penthouses sit above that band, because the garden or roof area is counted into the unit value.

Payment Plans and Installments in Retaj Compound

Retaj Compound has been fully sold out by the developer, and all currently available units are offered through the resale market.

As a result, there are no official developer payment plans, and payment terms depend on the agreement between the buyer and the individual seller.

Since the compound is fully completed and occupied, buyers can inspect the exact unit before purchase and receive immediate handover once the transaction is completed.

As available units are offered through resale, payment arrangements vary according to the agreement reached with the individual seller.

The cash route, meanwhile, gives the buyer a wider negotiating margin on price because the transaction happens directly with the unit’s owner, and the size of the discount varies from one unit to the next depending on the seller’s circumstances.

⚠️ Available units and their applicable payment plans change continuously in completed projects, so it is advisable to confirm the plan attached to a specific unit before signing.

Delivery Dates in Retaj Compound

Retaj Compound is a fully completed and already occupied project, so it contains no phases under construction and no future delivery dates. Every unit on offer is handed over immediately once the contract is finalized.

Units are delivered with complete super lux finishing covering flooring, paintwork, bathrooms and kitchen, along with installed air conditioning and a central satellite system, which means moving in directly with no additional finishing costs and no waiting period.

This situation removes two of the largest risk items in the Egyptian real estate market for the buyer, namely delivery delays and the rise in finishing costs between the contract date and the handover date.

Services and Facilities in Retaj Compound

Commercial and Administrative Units Inside Retaj Compound

Most compounds in the South Investors Area settle for a small service strip along the perimeterز

Retaj built complete commercial and administrative units into its masterplan inside the compound grounds, which put shops, restaurants, cafes and pharmacies within walking distance of the residential blocks.

These units serve two purposes at once.

They give residents their daily needs without passing through the gates, and they hand investors a second option beside residential by owning a shop or an office inside a community that is already occupied and carries existing footfall.

Complete Super Lux Finishing With Air Conditioning and Central Satellite

Retaj Compound units are not released semi-finished as is common across most projects.

They are delivered with complete super lux finishing ready for occupancy, with an air conditioning system pre-installed in the unit and a central satellite system at building level.

This approach cuts the cost of moving in appreciably, since the buyer is spared the finishing and air conditioning budget that usually accounts for a substantial share of unit value elsewhere, and it also makes the unit rentable from day one.

Retaj Mosque and Ground-Floor Units With Private Gardens

The compound includes Retaj Mosque as a standalone facility within the project for prayers without leaving the gates, an element that reinforces the settled family character of the community.

Alongside that, the project offers ground-floor units with private attached gardens.

These deliver a living experience close to a townhouse, with a dedicated outdoor space for children, while the price stays within the apartment band.

Core Services in Retaj Compound

Living Advantages in Retaj Compound

• Low population density: buildings rise only a ground floor plus 4 upper floors, which reduces the number of units per building and lifts the level of quiet and privacy.
• Green spaces across 70% of the site: and these are fully mature landscaped areas rather than future plans, given that the compound has been occupied for years.
• 4 minutes from the American University in Cairo: alongside 5 minutes from Future University and 6 minutes from the Canadian University, an ideal position for families with university students.
• 1 minute from Concord Plaza Mall: putting shopping and daily services closer than the average across Fifth Settlement compounds.
• Move-in ready with no extra spend: complete super lux finishing with air conditioning and central satellite, so no finishing budget running parallel to the unit price.
• Services inside the gates: shops, restaurants, pharmacies and a mosque within the compound, plus walking and jogging tracks separated from vehicle traffic.

Investment Advantages in Retaj Compound

• Rental income from day one: rents inside the compound run between EGP 30,000 and EGP 40,000 per month for sizes from 130 to 250 sqm, which places the annual yield in the 6% to 7% range against unit value.
• Rental demand driven by four universities: the presence of AUC, Future University, the Canadian University and the German University within a 7-minute radius creates steady seasonal demand for furnished housing, demand that does not track the swings of the sales market.
• Zero delivery risk: the project is complete and occupied with fully operational infrastructure, so the investor is buying a standing asset that can be inspected and rented immediately rather than purchasing off-plan.
• Faster resale: completed, fully finished units in mid-priced locations are the quickest-moving segment of the Fifth Settlement market, because they serve buyers looking for immediate housing rather than a long-term investment.
• Immediate rental potential: completed and fully finished units can begin generating rental income immediately after purchase, without waiting for construction or handover.

The South Investors Area has benefited in recent years from the development of the Mohamed Bin Zayed Southern Axis and improved connectivity with the New Administrative Capital, which has raised traffic and demand across the district generally.

About Ritaj Real Estate Development

Ritaj Real Estate Development is an independent Egyptian company operating in the local real estate market with a clear concentration on New Cairo and the Fifth Settlement.

From the outset it adopted a strategy of measured growth built on execution quality rather than rapid expansion by volume.

The company chose quiet, service-complete family housing as its core direction, aiming its projects at Egyptian families looking for privacy within the mid-price band, while selecting sites close to main axes, universities and essential services.

Its management structure rests on precise specialization, distributing responsibilities across planning, execution and sales divisions with the aim of balancing the technical quality of the buildings against economic feasibility for the client, a philosophy that fed directly into how Retaj Compound units were priced.

It is worth noting that the Egyptian company is a fully independent entity with no connection to similarly named groups operating in the hotel and hospitality sector across the Gulf, a confusion that surfaces frequently when searching the company name.

Current efforts center on completing the services and management of its flagship Fifth Settlement project.

ِِAlongside studying the release of a second residential phase aimed at small and mid-sized units for young buyers and newly married couples.
