Al Marasem Development is a real estate arm born out of one of the most established construction groups in the region, leading its Egyptian operations under the leadership of Eng. Tarek Helmy as Chief Executive Officer.
The company holds a strong portfolio of 5 major projects spanning a combined area of more than 900 acres across New Cairo , the North Coast, and Sheikh Zayed, alongside an extensive track record as a main contractor for landmark airport and hotel projects that preceded its move into property development.
Unit prices across the Al Marasem portfolio range from EGP 6,000,000 to EGP 30,000,000, depending on the project and unit type.
About Al Marasem Development
Al Marasem Development (officially Al Marasem International for Development, also known as AlMarasem Developments) is one of the two principal arms of Al Marasem International Group, the Egyptian entity that itself operates as a subsidiary of Saudi Binladin Group. The two arms maintain a clear functional separation; the parent group launched its Egyptian operations as a contracting and infrastructure division, then later spun off an independent property development arm that now drives the company’s residential, coastal, and administrative portfolio.
The board is led by Sheikh Khalid Bin Laden as Chairman and Sheikh Omar Bin Laden as Vice Chairman, while day-to-day operations are managed by an Egyptian executive team headed by Eng. Tarek Helmy as CEO.
The leadership lineup also includes Alaa Donia as Chief Financial Officer and Nariman Mazhar as Chief Commercial Officer, a structure that combines the parent group’s financial weight with deep, on-the-ground knowledge of the Egyptian market.
The company runs several business lines in parallel; alongside residential and coastal property development, it remains active as a main contractor for major airport, hotel, and hospital projects, and operates in healthcare through Al Marasem International Hospital in New Cairo. Its current property portfolio covers three strategic Egyptian cities, serving thousands of Egyptian families and Arab investors, backed by the financial strength to keep projects on schedule even during periods of market pressure.
Al Marasem Development Board of Directors
The leadership structure at Al Marasem reflects the model of a successful family-owned business managed under modern corporate governance, blending the strategic ownership of the Bin Laden family with a professional executive team drawn from Egypt’s top engineering and management talent.
The names below outline the company’s board and senior leadership:
- Sheikh Khalid Bin Laden: Chairman of the Board and principal owner, with extensive experience leading large-scale construction entities across the Middle East.
- Sheikh Omar Bin Laden: Vice Chairman, partnering on the company’s strategic decisions and expansion plans.
- Eng. Tarek Helmy: Chief Executive Officer, responsible for daily operations and direct oversight of new project launches since the group’s expansion into property development.
- Alaa Donia: Chief Financial Officer (CFO), in charge of financial management and cash-flow control across the investment portfolio.
- Nariman Mazhar: Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), overseeing sales strategy, marketing, and client relationship management.
- Amin Kandil: CRM Director, handling the after-sales experience and resident services.
The management philosophy draws heavily on the deep engineering legacy of the parent group; the discipline learned from delivering airports, premium hotels, and government infrastructure for both the Egyptian state and other developers translates directly into the construction standards applied to residential projects, alongside innovative contracting models such as the Al Marasem Partner program that redefines the developer-buyer relationship.

Al Marasem Development Philosophy
The core philosophy at Al Marasem rests on a single principle: carrying the standards of government contracting and national infrastructure projects into the residential sector. The company built its early reputation by delivering projects that allow no margin for error, such as international airport terminals and major hospitality buildings.
When it transitioned into property development, it brought those same construction disciplines with it, applying engineering codes and specifications normally reserved for critical infrastructure to its residential compounds, a heritage that sets it apart from developers who entered the market without a genuine construction background.
The company’s design approach is reflected in its consistent partnerships with leading international and local engineering and architectural firms across every project, alongside a commitment to integrating green spaces and water features as a fundamental element of every master plan rather than a cosmetic afterthought.
Management also pays careful attention to flexible payment systems that match the diverse purchasing power of the Egyptian market, ranging from a low down payment of 5% all the way to the unique Al Marasem Partner program, which allows the buyer to own only half of the unit while the company retains the other half as a partner.
Al Marasem Vision
Al Marasem is committed to securing its position as a leading name in the Egyptian property market, recognized for quality and innovation, by developing residential, commercial, and resort communities that combine luxury, comfort, and long-term sustainability, while preserving the precision and credibility inherited from the parent group’s distinguished construction legacy.
Al Marasem Strategic Goals
- Construction Quality Leadership: Applying the strict engineering standards earned through delivering airports and hotels to every residential unit produced.
- Innovation in Contracting Models: Developing unconventional financing structures such as the Al Marasem Partner program to bring new investor segments into the property market.
- Disciplined Delivery Timelines: Maintaining the company’s reputation for delivering project phases on schedule, demonstrated by the already-delivered phases of Fifth Square.
- Strategic Geographic Expansion: Growing the land bank in promising areas such as Ras El Hekma on the North Coast and West Cairo.
- Service Integration: Delivering an after-sales and facilities-management ecosystem that approaches international hotel-grade standards.
- Environmental Sustainability: Integrating green spaces, water features, and smart technologies into the master plan of every new project.

Investment Advantages in Al Marasem Projects
- The Unique Al Marasem Partner Program: Allows the buyer to own only 50% of the unit value with the company holding the other half as partner, with full freedom to sell or rent the share at any time, an arrangement no other developer in the Egyptian market currently matches.
- Financial Backing from a Global Parent Company: The support of Saudi Binladin Group keeps construction moving during liquidity squeezes that often slow other developers, materially reducing the risk of delivery delays.
- A Construction Track Record That Reassures Investors: Decades of accumulated engineering experience delivering projects with zero tolerance for delay, such as airport terminals, translates directly into on-time residential delivery, demonstrated by phases already handed over at Fifth Square.
- Geographic Diversity That Supports Portfolio Diversification: Buyers can choose between three distinct city profiles, urban residential in New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed, and coastal product in Ras El Hekma, giving them the option to build a balanced property portfolio with a single developer.
- Fully Finished Units with AC Installed: The majority of Al Marasem projects are delivered fully finished super-luxury, sparing the buyer the time and cost of finishing and shortening the gap between handover and actual move-in.
- Documented Engineering Partnerships: Working with consultancies of the calibre of EEGMA, ECG, and Sites International gives every project documented engineering credibility backed by international ISO certifications.
