The Big Business District New Cairo stretches along a 750-meter frontage on the Ring Road at the main entrance to the Fifth Settlement, developed by PRE Group (Pioneers Real Estate) as a complete business city spanning 48 acres that brings administrative, commercial, medical and hospitality components together on one master plan.
Prices in the currently launched MASSIV phase start from EGP 134,500 per square meter, with a 5% down payment, instalments extending to 8 years, and the first instalment deferred for 6 months after contracting.
The project’s headline feature is a cluster of towers designed by Zaha Hadid Architects the first time the late architect’s work appears anywhere in the Egyptian market.
The Big Business District New Cairo
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Big Business District is not a marketing label detached from the product. In urban planning, a business district refers to the zone where a city’s corporate headquarters and their supporting services concentrate which is precisely the role this development was designed to play in eastern Cairo.
The word “Big” reflects the actual scale of the launch. Across 48 acres the master plan carries administrative, commercial, medical, hospitality and educational components, a footprint closer to a full business quarter than to a single commercial building.
About The Big Business District
The Big Business District New Cairo design
The master plan is built around graduated privacy rather than the conventional building-by-building split. Towers, offices and open areas are arranged around three central plazas, each with a different level of public access, which separates visitor traffic from closed corporate traffic without breaking the continuity of the development.
Tying these components together is a single design element the plan calls the Green River an open corridor running the length of the site. It functions as a circulation route and a rest area at the same time, reducing dependence on enclosed internal corridors and giving units that face it an open outlook.
On the architectural side, the developer assigned the main towers to Zaha Hadid Architects, marking the first project in Egypt to carry the late architect’s signature. The towers draw their forms from Pharaonic elements, using flowing lines that set them apart visually from the repetitive glass massing common across the area.
Execution and consultancy are handled by a group of specialist firms. ACE Moharram Bakhoum covers the engineering side, while Savills and Coldwell Banker handle real estate advisory and operations, alongside NAGA, OMNI and Yasser El Beltagy Architects (YBA) on interior design and planning.
The development also reaches beyond the standard commercial mall format. Along with administrative, commercial and medical units it includes a hotel, branded serviced apartments and educational spaces a mix that spreads visitor traffic across the full day instead of concentrating it in a narrow window, as tends to happen in purely administrative developments.
The project is delivered in phases. The first of these is Massive Mall New Cairo, currently on the market, comprising 17 buildings with a combined built-up area of 40,000 sqm that hold finished offices, finished clinics and semi-finished retail units. The phase targets sales of around EGP 19 billion, out of an expected EGP 97 billion for the complete project.

The Big Business District Location
The Big Business District location in New Cairo
The Big Business District sits directly on the Ring Road at the main entrance to the Fifth Settlement a junction that connects eastern and western Cairo and carries heavy daily movement to and from Fifth Settlement projects. For the retail and medical units inside, that means a customer base drawn from more than one surrounding catchment.
The 750-meter frontage adds measurable commercial value on top of that. It gives the development continuous visual exposure to Ring Road traffic, an advantage that inward-facing projects cannot replicate no matter how well designed they are.
The residential ring around the project is already occupied rather than pending handover. Stone Park, Stone Residence and The Brooks sit minutes away, alongside Katameya Heights and District 5 populated communities that form the primary source of footfall for the medical and retail activities inside the mall.
Proximity to the German University in Cairo and the Police Academy adds a daily segment of students and staff whose spending pattern differs from compound residents, widening the customer base for F&B outlets, cafés and quick-service tenants around the retail plaza.
Sitting where the Ring Road meets the Mohamed Naguib Axis and the Suez Road also opens direct access from Nasr City, Heliopolis and Maadi, placing the clinics and offices inside within reach of clients based well beyond the Fifth Settlement itself.

Malls and Projects Near The Big Business District
Commercial surroundings of The Big Business District
The project sits within a cluster of administrative and medical malls serving the same residential catchment. Comparing these launches against one another is the fastest way to read the real gap in price per meter, finishing standard and payment duration before committing to a purchase.
- VX Mall New Cairo — a commercial and administrative launch by Mercon Developments, targeting mid-sized units within the Golden Square zone.
- Elev 8 Mall — a commercial, administrative and medical project by Wealth Plus, structured so that floor allocation by activity keeps visitor and patient circulation apart.
- H:rs Business Hub — developed by Main Marks, with a focus on office space and flexible layouts suited to growing companies.
- V40 District Mall — an administrative and medical project in the Fifth Settlement with entry price points sitting somewhat higher, which makes it a direct benchmark for pricing.
Unit Types, Sizes and Prices at The Big Business District
Unit types at The Big Business District New Cairo
The MASSIV phase carries four unit categories that differ in size, finishing standard and price per meter. The distinction is not only about position within the building it is about handover condition. Offices are delivered Core & Shell, while smart offices and clinics arrive ready to operate.
| Unit Type | Position & Finishing | Size (sqm) | Price Per Meter From |
| Retail & F&B | Ground levels facing the plazas — semi-finished | From 32 | By position and frontage |
| Offices | Typical floors — Core & Shell | 70 — 395 | EGP 134,500 |
| Smart Offices | Typical floors — fully finished and equipped | From 63 | EGP 154,500 |
| Clinics | Dedicated medical floors — fully finished | From 48 | EGP 155,500 |
The figures above are instalment prices rather than cash prices. Price per meter shifts according to activity, finishing standard and how far the unit opens onto the plazas which explains the EGP 21,000 per square meter gap between a Core & Shell office and a fully equipped clinic. That difference corresponds to the fit-out cost the developer absorbs on the buyer’s behalf.
Payment Plans at The Big Business District
Payment plans at The Big Business District
| Plan | Down Payment | Instalment Period | First Instalment |
| Standard instalment plan | 5% | 8 years in equal instalments | After 6 months |
| Cash purchase | Full unit value | — | Additional price discount |
A launch-period discount of 10% applies on top of the plan above. It is tied to the opening release of the phase and is reflected directly in the advertised price per meter, while cash purchases receive a separate additional discount.
Reservation deposits are set according to the unit’s type, size and floor. Annual maintenance fees and an operating deposit are calculated on the unit at handover to cover management of the common areas, plazas and parking levels.

Delivery Dates at The Big Business District
The MASSIV phase launched in October 2025, with first handovers scheduled within two years of the release date placing them in 2027. Construction is progressing with contracted partners to keep the phase on its published timeline.
Because the project is released in stages, operations will not start all at once. Activity begins with MASSIV and the following phases join gradually, an order that gives first-phase investors a timing advantage in leasing before the additional supply reaches the market.
Finishing standards vary between unit categories, which directly affects the fit-out cost the buyer carries after handover:
- Core & Shell: the unit is delivered with its concrete structure, façade and main connections only. The buyer handles flooring, internal partitions and finishes. This is the handover standard for offices.
- Fully finished: the unit arrives ready to operate with flooring, walls and fittings in place. This is the handover standard for smart offices and clinics.
- Semi-finished: the unit is delivered with base works that let the tenant apply their own brand identity inside. This is the handover standard for retail and F&B units.
Services and Facilities at The Big Business District
Central plazas at The Big Business District MASSIV phase
The Zaha Hadid Architects Towers
The towers designed by Zaha Hadid Architects mark the first appearance of the late architect’s work in Egypt. Their forms draw on Pharaonic elements, using tapered, flowing surfaces that read differently from the rectangular massing that dominates surrounding developments.
The value here goes past appearance. Buildings carrying a recognized architectural signature typically hold stronger appeal for corporate tenants and brands looking for a distinctive address, which feeds directly into occupancy rates and long-term rental value.
The Consultancy and Operations Line-up
The developer has contracted a group of specialist firms with responsibilities split across design and operations. ACE Moharram Bakhoum handles engineering works, Savills and Coldwell Banker cover real estate advisory, market studies and operations, while Yasser El Beltagy Architects, NAGA and OMNI contribute to interior design and overall planning.
Having an operator of the caliber of Savills or Coldwell Banker attached to a commercial project usually signals a managed leasing policy that controls the tenant mix inside the mall a factor that protects investors from the same activity repeating across neighbouring units.
The Green River and the Three Central Plazas
The plan rests on three central plazas with different levels of openness. The public plaza anchors the retail component and receives visitors and staff alike, the semi-private plaza serves clinics and companies that receive clients by appointment, and the private plaza remains restricted to closed offices that host no public traffic.
Linking the three is the Green River, running across the site as both a circulation route and an open amenity. The arrangement allows the retail zone to operate at high visitor density without eroding the privacy of the office component.

Commercial Investment Advantages at The Big Business District
Investment opportunities at The Big Business District
- An existing footfall base: the project is surrounded by Stone Park, Stone Residence, The Brooks, Katameya Heights and District 5 occupied communities rather than pending handovers. That means real customer traffic from the first day of operation instead of demand deferred for years.
- Launch scale as a confidence signal: the MASSIV phase alone targets EGP 19 billion in sales, out of EGP 97 billion for the full project. Figures at that level reflect a financial commitment that lowers the risk of stalled execution or postponed phases.
- The pricing gap between categories: offices start at EGP 134,500 per meter and clinics at EGP 155,500 a 15.6% difference covering full fit-out. That gives investors a clear choice between buying cheaper and finishing themselves, or buying ready for immediate leasing.
- Extended instalments versus a bank deposit: a 5% down payment over 8 years allows entry into the asset with limited initial capital, whereas a bank deposit returns cash alone with no underlying asset that appreciates or generates rent after handover.
- Frontage and visual exposure: the 750-meter stretch along the Ring Road gives retail and F&B units permanent advertising value in front of heavy daily traffic an advantage that translates directly into rental value for externally facing units.

Why Invest in the Fifth Settlement?
The Fifth Settlement is the most mature district in eastern Cairo in terms of completed infrastructure and population density. The area already holds a large number of delivered compounds alongside universities and corporate headquarters, which produces genuine demand for retail and medical space rather than demand contingent on future growth.
Its position on the Ring Road and the Mushir Tantawy and Suez axes further strengthens its ability to draw traffic from outside its immediate catchment, widening the pool of potential customers for any commercial project operating within it.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Big Business District is a 48-acre mixed-use development by PRE Group on the Ring Road at the main entrance to the Fifth Settlement. It combines administrative, commercial, medical, hospitality and educational components, with towers designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in their first Egyptian project.
Offices delivered Core & Shell start at EGP 134,500 per square metre, smart offices at EGP 154,500 and clinics at EGP 155,500. These are instalment prices and shift according to activity, finishing standard and unit position within the development.
The current plan requires a 5% down payment at contracting with the balance paid over 8 years in equal instalments, and the first instalment deferred for 6 months. A 10% launch-period discount applies, with a separate additional discount for cash purchases.
The project is developed by PRE Group (Pioneers Real Estate), founded in 2017 through the consolidation of companies with over 120 years of combined market experience, and led by CEO Waleed Zaki. The group has delivered more than 8,500 residential units across over 16 projects.
The main towers were designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the first appearance of the late architect's work in the Egyptian market. Their forms draw on Pharaonic elements using tapered, flowing surfaces.
MASSIV comprises 17 buildings with a 40,000 sqm built-up area, offering offices from 70 to 395 sqm, smart offices from 63 sqm, clinics from 48 sqm and retail units from 32 sqm. Offices are delivered Core & Shell while smart offices and clinics arrive fully finished.
The MASSIV phase launched in October 2025 with first handovers scheduled within two years of the release date, placing them in 2027. Subsequent phases are delivered progressively according to the published construction timeline.
The surrounding compounds are already populated rather than pending handover, which means real footfall from day one. The 750-metre Ring Road frontage adds permanent visibility for retail units, and the phase targets EGP 19 billion in sales out of EGP 97 billion for the full project.
