On the 26th of July Axis, directly facing the West Somid district, ARQA Developments has launched its newest commercial project, Annex 26 Business Complex, in the heart of 6th of October City — a modern multi-use destination that brings retail shops, administrative offices, and medical clinics together under one roof.
Ownership at the mall starts from around EGP 5,824,000 per unit, with a price per meter beginning at EGP 119,000, a down payment of just 5%, and a comfortable installment plan extending up to 10 years, while units are delivered fully finished.
What sets the project apart is its vertical separation of the three activities across dedicated floors, which secures the privacy and operational efficiency of every sector, alongside a vibrant location only minutes from Mall of Arabia and the city’s main axes.
The Meaning Behind the Name Annex 26
The word Annex refers to an extension or an addition, a choice that mirrors the project’s identity as an integrated business landmark adding a fresh investment destination to the commercial scene in 6th of October.
The number 26, in turn, is tied directly to the project’s location on the 26th of July Axis — one of the city’s most vital arteries — so the name blends a strong sense of place with the project’s nature as a modern Business Complex that serves more than one activity.
A Detailed Overview of Annex 26
When ARQA Developments decided to enter the commercial market of 6th of October, it chose to build a business complex that breaks away from the traditional single-activity mall model, so Annex 26 emerged to gather three investment sectors within one carefully studied building that serves the retailer, the doctor, and the business owner at the same time.
The design philosophy rests on the principle of separating activities vertically, where the lower floors are dedicated to commercial activities that rely on heavy visitor traffic and direct display frontages, while the administrative offices and medical clinics are raised to the quieter, more private upper floors, achieving a balance between commercial vibrancy and the professional character that a work environment demands.
The project relies on reflective glass facades that give the building a contemporary presence and allow the maximum amount of natural light to reach the units, alongside an interior design that balances elegance with functionality through modern lighting systems and wide corridors that ease visitor movement and prevent congestion.
Because the visitor experience begins the moment they arrive, two full basement levels were allocated as a car park with enough capacity to accommodate large numbers of vehicles without crowding at the entrances, while panoramic elevators and escalators connect the floors with complete ease.
Annex 26 draws its strength from its position on the 26th of July Axis, one of the busiest axes in 6th of October in terms of daily traffic, which places the mall’s units in front of a broad base of potential customers from the city’s residents and visitors, and gives the investor a real opportunity to operate their unit quickly after handover.
In this project, ARQA is betting on the value-for-money equation, offering flexible unit areas that start from the smaller spaces suited to entrepreneurs and owners of emerging businesses, and scale up to fit larger companies and specialized medical activities, with the option to merge more than one unit to obtain a larger area when needed.
This diversity of uses reflects a clear vision held by the developer: that modern business complexes are no longer mere places to buy and sell, but integrated destinations where the visitor spends more time between shopping, dining, and completing administrative or medical errands, which in turn benefits sales activity inside the commercial units and the value of the project as a whole.
The design also ensures that each unit enjoys a good view and easy access, whether through the multiple entrances or the network of elevators and escalators that guarantee visitors move between floors effortlessly, so the units on the upper floors do not suffer any notable drop in visit rates compared to the ground-floor units.

Location
26th of July Axis, facing West Somid district, 6th of October City
Annex 26 Business Complex sits in a strategic position directly on the 26th of July Axis and facing the West Somid district, in one of the most vibrant and densely populated areas of 6th of October City, which gives the project a large daily flow of potential customers and places its units on a route of non-stop movement.
The value of the location is further enhanced by its proximity to a vast residential base that represents the main source of visitor traffic, as the area is surrounded by major residential compounds such as O West, Palm Hills October, and Mountain View iCity, in addition to being close to Mall of Arabia, one of the most prominent commercial destinations in West Cairo.
The importance of the location stems specifically from being in West Cairo, an area witnessing rapid urban expansion and a continuous rise in population, as the 26th of July Axis is one of the main arteries connecting 6th of October City to the Ring Road and the heart of Cairo, ensuring easy access to the mall from all directions and placing it within the service range of a wide population base that extends to neighbouring areas, not just the city’s residents.
6th of October City is distinguished by a growing commercial movement that has produced a number of retail and administrative malls forming an active investment environment around Annex 26, and below are the most prominent neighbouring commercial projects on our website:
Junction Mall: a retail mall by Majid Al Futtaim in 6th of October, combining shops and restaurants with the expertise of one of the region’s largest mall developers.
Nine 08 Mall: a commercial, administrative, and medical project in 6th of October distinguished by flexible payment plans starting with a low down payment.
Axis Mall (Axis Three Business Mall): a commercial and administrative business complex in the heart of the city, targeting companies and entrepreneurs.
Ravina Square Mall: a retail mall in the October Gardens area that combines commercial and service activities.
The presence of this number of malls in 6th of October reflects the growing demand for commercial spaces in the city, which is a positive indicator for any investor seeking an active market, as it confirms that the area can absorb multiple commercial projects without saturation, and gives Annex 26 a chance to stand out thanks to its diverse activities and the sector-separation system that distinguishes it from single-purpose malls.
Unit Types, Areas, and Prices in Annex 26
Annex 26 offers a wide variety of units that meet different activities and budgets, and prices vary according to the floor, the unit’s position within the mall, and the view, as prices for the lower commercial floors rise due to their proximity to visitor traffic, while the administrative and medical units come on the upper floors at prices within reach of a wider segment of investors.

It is worth noting that the prices mentioned are installment prices, and that the price per meter varies by floor and activity, reaching around EGP 324,000 per meter in the premium ground-floor commercial units, while it ranges between EGP 119,000 and EGP 147,000 per meter for administrative and medical units, depending on the unit’s position and area.
To choose the most suitable unit, the investor is advised to define their activity first and then the required area; commercial activities that depend on direct visitor traffic find what they need on the ground and first floors, while administrative offices and medical clinics suit the quieter upper floors, with the option to start with a small unit and expand later by annexing a neighbouring one, which provides great flexibility in managing capital and growing the business gradually.
Payment and Installment Plans in Annex 26
ARQA was keen to offer a flexible payment system that lowers the barrier to entry into commercial investment and allows the widest segment of customers to own their units without significant financial pressure.

5%
Up to 10 years
Alongside the installment plan, the developer has set a reservation deposit of EGP 100,000 for retail shops and EGP 50,000 for administrative offices and medical clinics, and also offers a discount of up to 10% on cash payment, with maintenance and operation fees added at the time of contracting to ensure the quality of services inside the mall and the continuity of its operation.
The value of this system lies in allowing the investor to retain a large part of their liquidity to use in fitting out the unit or operating the business, instead of freezing the entire amount in the purchase price, while the extended installment period keeps the monthly instalment within reach of a wide segment and offers a chance to schedule payments in line with the expected return from the unit after it begins operating.

ARQA Developments has announced the handover of Annex 26 units during the year 2028, with the administrative offices and medical clinics delivered fully finished and to the highest quality standards, making them ready for operation immediately upon handover.
Full finishing (super lux) means the unit reaches the investor with complete flooring, walls, and basic fittings, without the need for additional finishing works, which saves the investor time and cost and accelerates the start of the activity or the leasing process and the realisation of returns.
From an investment perspective, a 2028 handover represents a suitable window to enter at today’s price and benefit from the expected growth in unit value as the operating date approaches and the surrounding area matures, since commercial unit prices tend to rise gradually as the project nears the handover stage and occupancy rates begin to appear, which makes buying in the early phases a well-considered choice for anyone seeking a margin of value growth.
Services and Facilities in Annex 26
Annex 26 offers a system of services and facilities designed to serve the three sectors together and to raise the value of the units and the efficiency of their operation, and below are the most prominent features of the project:
Glass Facades and Natural Lighting
The building is clad in reflective glass facades that give it a striking visual presence on the 26th of July Axis, and at the same time allow natural light into the units, which highlights the commercial display frontages and creates a healthy, comfortable work environment in the offices and clinics throughout the day.
Activity Separation System Between Sectors
The mall was designed with a clear separation between commercial activities on the lower floors and administrative and medical activities on the upper floors, so that each sector has its own entrance, movement, and privacy, which preserves the calm of the work and clinic environment away from the bustle of shopping, and enhances the experience of both the visitor and the investor.
An Integrated Operation and Security System
The project includes central air conditioning covering all spaces and backup generators that guarantee uninterrupted operation, alongside a high-speed internet network and a security and guarding system that works around the clock, supported by surveillance cameras and electronic gates that regulate entry and exit movement.
Green Spaces and an Open Plaza
Green spaces and an open plaza were allocated within the project to act as a breathing space for visitors and an attraction that extends the duration of their stay inside the mall, and these areas were designed to be a natural extension of the commercial units, restaurants, and cafes, creating a comfortable atmosphere that encourages shopping and sitting, giving the project a distinctive character that sets it apart from traditional enclosed malls and reinforces its value as an integrated destination rather than a place to pass through.

Annex 26 offers a set of fundamentals that make it a well-studied investment choice, rather than mere marketing phrases, and below are the most prominent ones, backed by data:
A strong footfall base: the location on the 26th of July Axis, alongside the surrounding compounds such as O West, Palm Hills, and Mountain View iCity and the proximity to Mall of Arabia, provides a high daily flow of visitors that supports occupancy rates and sales activity within the commercial units.
Sector diversity spreads risk: the presence of three activities (commercial, administrative, and medical) means diversified sources of rental demand, so the investor’s success is not tied to a single sector but benefits from shopping, business, and medical service traffic together.
A low entry barrier and a graduated return: a down payment of only 5% and installments up to 10 years allow ownership with limited liquidity, while the administrative and medical price per meter starts from EGP 119,000 against commercial floors reaching EGP 324,000, offering choices to suit every budget and investment goal.
Units ready for operation: the fully finished handover in 2028 reduces the cost and time of fit-out and allows leasing or carrying out the activity to begin immediately upon handover, which accelerates the realisation of returns.
Compared to bank deposits: unlike fixed-return deposits that are exposed to inflation erosion, commercial real estate combines a rental return that can grow with an expected rise in the asset’s value as the area develops over time.
When these factors are brought together — the vibrant location, the diversity of activities, the payment flexibility, and the fully finished handover — a balanced investment opportunity comes into focus, one that combines lower risk with multiple sources of return, whether you choose to operate your unit yourself or offer it for lease, which makes Annex 26 a choice worth studying among the commercial opportunities currently on offer in 6th of October.
