Stone Residence compound new cairo by PRE Developments

Stone Residence New Cairo stretches across 450 acres at the very front of the Fifth Settlement, with a direct frontage on the Ring Road that makes it one of the largest delivered residential communities in New Cairo.

The project carries the name Stone Residence and belongs to PRE Developments, the real estate arm of Pioneers Holding, after starting life as a joint venture with Rooya Group and passing fully to PRE once the two entities separated.

Unit prices start at EGP 7,000,000 on the installment plan, with a down payment from 5% and a payment period reaching 14 years, alongside a limited selection of ready-to-move units.

The Meaning Behind the Name Stone Residence

The name here is not a throwaway marketing label. The word Stone points directly to the building material that shaped the project’s visual identity, visible in the stone cladding wrapping the lower floors of almost every building and in the stone-paved walkways running between the residential clusters.

The word Residence carries more weight in English than “home”, suggesting a permanent address rather than temporary accommodation, which fits a project built around low population density and buildings of only a few floors.

Put together, the two words describe a stone dwelling designed to last, and that idea genuinely carried through into the choice of finishing materials and the architectural style adopted across the compound.

A Closer Look at Stone Residence Compound

Stone Residence is built on a different premise from the conventional compounds of the Fifth Settlement. Instead of the familiar grid layout of intersecting streets, the master plan is organised around circles and curved residential clusters, creating small semi-enclosed communities inside each circle, where most units overlook internal gardens or open greenery rather than facing neighbouring blocks head-on.

The architectural language is Contemporary Mediterranean, a modern style with restrained Italian touches. It shows clearly in the pitched roofs covered with red clay tiles, the smooth stucco surfaces on the upper floors, and the dark wrought-iron balustrades running along balconies and staircases.

The most distinctive feature of the units themselves is the large curved bay windows that run almost from floor to ceiling, pulling in the maximum amount of daylight and opening wide views onto the greenery, while cutting the need for artificial lighting during the day.

The residential buildings consist of a ground floor plus three upper floors, with only two apartments per floor. That ratio is unusually low compared with most projects in the area, reducing pressure on lifts and entrances and raising the level of privacy inside each building.

The compound is divided into phases, the most prominent being Stone Hills, dedicated to standalone villas and townhouses across 38 acres of gardens and landscaping, with unit areas starting from 215 sqm. It is followed by the Nutshell phase, positioned at the heart of the project with more practical layouts and closer proximity to 90th Street and the Ring Road.

In terms of land allocation, only 20% of the total area was given to residential buildings, while the remaining 80% went to green spaces, artificial lakes and service zones. That explains the continuous green corridors running through the entire project rather than scattered pocket gardens.

The plan also draws a clear separation between the peripheral roads serving the compound as a whole and the quiet internal roads serving each cluster, which keeps through traffic out of residential areas and leaves a large share of the internal walkways to pedestrians only.

The artificial lakes and fountains are distributed evenly across the site rather than concentrated in one zone, a planning decision that gives units on the edges the same share of water views as those in the centre, preventing sharp price gaps between sectors of the same compound.

The landscaping integrates greenery into the buildings themselves through climbing plants on the walls, planters between units and slender trees such as Italian cypress, softening the concrete masses and giving the project the Mediterranean character that sets it apart visually from its neighbours in the Fifth Settlement.

Stone Residence Location

The project sits at the front edge of the Fifth Settlement with a direct frontage on the Ring Road, an advantage that compounds buried deeper inside the city simply cannot offer, since residents enter and exit without navigating congested internal streets.

The site also sits at the meeting point of three major arteries, the Ring Road, the Ain Sokhna Road and the extension of 90th Street, which makes reaching Maadi, Heliopolis and Nasr City faster than from most other New Cairo locations.

At neighbourhood level, the compound borders the Middle Hills area and the wider Katameya district, a zone that is already fully serviced with schools, clinics and retail, unlike newer districts where amenities are still under construction.

One further advantage of this specific position is easy weekend access to Ain Sokhna without crossing city-centre traffic, since the Ain Sokhna Road lies only 5 minutes away, which makes the compound a natural choice for owners of coastal second homes.

Landmarks Near Stone Residence

Compounds Near Stone Residence

The area surrounding Stone Residence holds some of the oldest and strongest residential projects in New Cairo, which keeps property values in the district stable and makes a side-by-side comparison worthwhile before committing to a purchase.

• Katameya Gardens Compound: Sits within the Katameya district close to Stone Residence, built around low-rise units spread through generous greenery, a strong option for buyers who prioritise low density.
• District 5 Compound: One of the leading mixed-use developments in the heart of the Fifth Settlement, combining residential units and a full retail district within the same community.
• El Patio Town Compound: Built around a Spanish architectural theme in its facades and internal walkways, offering apartments and villas across a range of sizes in New Cairo.
• La Mirada Compound: A delivered and fully inhabited project along the Katameya road, a practical alternative for anyone looking for a ready unit inside an established community.
• Mountain View 1 Compound: A long-settled development in the district, known for arranging its units around open spaces and keeping occupancy ratios relatively low.

Unit Types, Areas and Prices in Stone Residence

The variety inside the compound goes beyond size alone and extends to the unit format itself, covering standard apartments, apartments with private gardens and penthouses with their own roofs, alongside villas and townhouses in the Stone Hills phase.

The prices listed below are installment prices rather than cash prices, and the developer updates them periodically according to phase, floor level and view.

The range begins with compact studios suited to investors chasing quick rental yield, moves through family apartments from 128 sqm up to 220 sqm, and reaches penthouses of up to 340 sqm with a private roof that can serve as a hanging garden or an open entertaining area.

Garden apartments represent a particularly sought-after segment, since they combine an apartment price with villa-style benefits, with private garden areas reaching 77 sqm per unit, a practical choice for families with young children.

Working the price per meter out from the table above, it starts at EGP 54,600 per sqm for apartments in the current phases and climbs to roughly EGP 71,400 per sqm for ready-to-move penthouses, a natural gap given that a completed unit always carries a premium over one still under construction.

Payment Plans and Installments in Stone Residence

The developer has released more than one payment structure, covering two different buyer profiles: one looking for the lowest possible down payment over the longest term, and another willing to shorten the term in exchange for a lower total price.

Alongside the installment plans, the developer offers a discount reaching 40% on full cash settlement, one of the highest rates currently on offer in the Fifth Settlement and worth calculating carefully before defaulting to an installment plan.

The maintenance deposit is paid separately from the unit price and stands at EGP 330,000 for apartments and EGP 412,500 for penthouses, so it should be built into the overall budget when comparing projects.

Delivery Dates in Stone Residence

A significant part of the compound has already been delivered and is occupied by residents, which lowers the risk compared with projects still on paper, since a buyer can inspect the unit and the facilities before signing.

Units are handed over semi-finished, meaning plastered walls, base flooring, doors and external windows, leaving the owner free to complete the interior to their own taste. A limited number of units are offered fully finished with air conditioning installed.

Ready-to-move units are handed over within a short window of no more than 3 months from contract, while the newer phases follow a delivery schedule extending to around 3 years from the contract date.

In practical terms this leaves a buyer with two routes: a ready unit at a higher price with immediate occupancy and no parallel rent to pay, or a unit under construction at a lower price per meter with more room for capital appreciation by delivery. The choice depends on whether the goal is living or investing.

Facilities and Services in Stone Residence

• RFID Gates and a Central Control Room

Security here does not rest on manned guarding alone. It starts at the sealed perimeter wall, moves through electronic gates running on automatic vehicle recognition (RFID), which lets residents’ cars enter without stopping or manual registration.

A network of high-definition surveillance cameras covers the site and feeds into a central control room operating around the clock, backed by regular security patrols through the residential clusters, giving complete coverage across entrances, walkways and service areas.

• The Club House and the Five-Star Hotel

The compound includes a full club house with a gym fitted with current equipment and a spa area covering sauna, steam rooms and jacuzzi, alongside outdoor courts for tennis, squash and football.

It also holds a five-star hotel inside its walls, an uncommon feature in residential compounds, providing hospitality services and hotel dining for residents and their guests without leaving the project.

• Solar Panels and Thermally Insulated Windows

Solar panels were installed to cover part of the energy demand of the units and shared facilities with clean power, which feeds directly into a lower monthly electricity bill for residents.

The units were also fitted with thermally insulated glazing that holds internal temperatures steady and reduces air-conditioning load through the summer, while still taking full advantage of daylight through the panoramic windows.

Core Services in Stone Residence

Living Advantages in Stone Residence

• Low residential density: Buildings are ground plus three floors with two apartments per floor, meaning only 8 units per building, well below the district average.
• Greenery across most of the site: 80% of the total 450 acres is given to green space, lakes and services, so units do not face concrete blocks.
• Car-free walkways: The circular layout separates vehicle movement from the residential clusters, letting children play safely along the internal paths.
• Units available for inspection: Large sections of the project are delivered and occupied, so the unit and the facilities can be viewed in person before contracting.
• Visual privacy: Orienting units within circular clusters prevents facing apartments from looking directly into one another.

Investment Advantages in Stone Residence

• A clear price gap between phases: Price per meter starts at EGP 54,600 for units under construction and reaches EGP 71,400 for completed units, meaning the uplift realised on completion exceeds 30%.
• An exceptional cash discount: A 40% discount on full settlement sharply reduces the entry cost for a cash buyer and widens the resale margin.
• An active rental market: Being 10 minutes from the American University and the German University creates steady rental demand from students and faculty.
• A Ring Road frontage: Direct access to the Ring Road and proximity to the Ain Sokhna Road make units attractive to professionals working in Maadi, Heliopolis and Nasr City, not only to New Cairo residents.
• A low down payment: A 5% down payment means reserving a unit priced at EGP 7,000,000 requires no more than EGP 350,000 upfront, allowing capital to be spread across more than one unit.
