Al Jar Developments stands among Egypt’s most prominent real estate developers, led by Dr. Ahmed Abdel Mageed, Chairman of the Board, Member of the Egyptian Parliament, and Deputy Chairman of the Housing Committee.
With a legacy stretching back to 1999 under the name Bunyan, the company has launched its flagship Aljar British District project with investments exceeding EGP 20 billion, while expanding its portfolio to more than 8 projects spanning residential, commercial, hospitality, and educational sectors across Cairo and Alexandria, with unit prices starting from EGP 4,100,000 and installment plans extending up to 7 years.
Al Jar Developments is the modern brand identity of a real estate group deeply rooted in the Egyptian market since 1999. The company originally launched as Bunyan, operating as the development arm of the El-Riyad Castle Group.
It later expanded through the Valore brand in partnership with the Al-Ghunaimi Group, delivering a substantial portfolio of projects across Cairo and Alexandria, before evolving into its current premium identity, Aljar, designed to bring together more than two decades of expertise under elevated, contemporary standards.
Across more than 25 years of continuous real estate operations, the company has delivered over 2,000 residential units, with a total portfolio of more than 8,300 units distributed across residential, commercial, administrative, and hospitality projects, serving thousands of families across the two pivotal governorates of Greater Cairo and Alexandria.
The company’s signature approach centers on strategic locations within high-density urban zones, combined with a strong focus on mixed-use developments that integrate housing with educational, medical, and commercial services within a single community.
Operating today under its Power of Distinction slogan, the company is active in four primary sectors: Residential, Commercial and Administrative, Hospitality, and Educational. Its latest landmark project, Aljar British District, brings all four sectors together under one master plan, with investments exceeding EGP 20 billion as announced during the first phase launch ceremony attended by the British Ambassador to Cairo, Gareth Bayley.
Al Jar Developments is led by an executive team that combines engineering expertise with parliamentary insight into the housing sector:
Dr. Ahmed Abdel Mageed’s role within the parliamentary Housing Committee has provided him with grounded insight into the legislative and market demands of the real estate sector, which is directly reflected in Al Jar Developments’ positioning toward fully integrated, service-rich communities built to international standards.
The philosophy of Al Jar Developments begins with a central premise: the real value of a property is not defined solely by its walls and finishes, but by the surrounding community and the project’s ability to deliver a complete ecosystem of services that supports residents throughout their daily lives.
This is the meaning behind the name “Al Jar” — the Arabic word for “neighbor” — reflecting the community-oriented dimension of every project, where residents share a deliberate, like-minded social fabric.
The company builds its projects on three consistent pillars: collaboration with leading architectural consultants such as architect Raef Fahmy for design and engineer Tarek Sobhy for landscape planning, selection of strategic locations along the main corridors of Greater Cairo and Alexandria, and institutional and hospitality partnerships that allow projects to be managed to international service standards, such as the collaboration with the Concorde El Salam group for hospitality supervision.
Al Jar Developments aims to redefine excellence in the Egyptian real estate market by creating integrated destinations that set new benchmarks for quality. The company’s role extends beyond planning and construction to delivering long-term value that exceeds expectations through a seamless fusion of design beauty and execution precision, ensuring a lifestyle that combines comfort, privacy, and effortless access to daily services.
The goals of Al Jar Developments revolve around building fully integrated urban communities, achieved through several operational priorities:
Al Jar Developments has built a robust network of local and international partnerships that significantly enhance the investment value of its projects. The most prominent of these include:
These partnerships received formal diplomatic recognition through the attendance of the British Ambassador to Cairo, Gareth Bayley, at the Aljar British District launch ceremony, where he praised the project as a model of UK-Egyptian collaboration in higher education and healthcare.
