Capital Group Properties is one of the most prominent real estate companies with UAE roots operating in the Egyptian market, having been established in 2015 as a development arm for Egypt under the Abu Dhabi Capital Group (ADCG), before officially announcing the adoption of the name IMKAN Misr as part of an expansion plan to unify its identity with its parent company, Imkan Properties, in Abu Dhabi.
The company’s operations in Egypt have been led by Eng. Ahmed Aref since 2023, while its regional operations are overseen by Eng. Suwaidan Al-Dhaheri, CEO of Imkan Properties Group, as the company draws on the parent group’s legacy spanning 26 projects across 3 continents.
The company’s investments are currently centered in east Cairo through its iconic project, Al Burouj Compound, spanning approximately 1,200 feddans, alongside a newly allocated plot of 167 feddans in Fifth Settlement, with announced plans for expansion toward the North Coast and the New Administrative Capital.
Capital Group Properties (CGP) was established in Cairo in 2015 as a development arm of the Abu Dhabi Capital Group (ADCG), one of the UAE’s most prominent investment groups with a real estate portfolio spanning 26 projects across 3 continents and total areas exceeding 30 million square meters, including projects in the UAE, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Seychelles, and others.
In 2019, the company announced an official name change to IMKAN Misr, becoming fully affiliated with the UAE-based Imkan Properties, which specializes in Research-Based real estate development and serves as the parent group’s specialized real estate arm.
This transformation aims to unify the international standards for which Imkan is known across different markets, while retaining the Egyptian client base and projects that previously carried the Capital Group Properties name.
On the local level, the company raised its Egyptian capital from EGP 881 million to EGP 2.56 billion in December 2024 through the issuance of new shares to existing shareholders, as announced by the Extraordinary General Assembly, reflecting a long-term commitment to the Egyptian market.
Imkan Misr’s operations in Cairo have been led by Eng. Ahmed Aref since 2023, succeeding Eng. Ahmed Fathallah, who had led the company since its founding until his passing in 2019.
The company’s activity is centered in New Heliopolis through its flagship project, Al Burouj Compound, spanning approximately 5 million square meters, executed across 4 phases concluding by 2029, with total project investments exceeding EGP 47 billion (approximately USD 3 billion) according to announced data.
In addition to Al Burouj, the Ministry of Housing allocated a new plot of 167 feddans to the company in the Golden Square area in Fifth Settlement, where the company paid a down payment of EGP 1 billion to begin development procedures according to its official project announcement, which is still in the preparation and technical review stage.
Capital Group’s board of directors is supported by executive leadership that combines the international expertise of the Abu Dhabi Capital Group with Egyptian specialists in the local market, ensuring the transfer of the best UAE and global practices to the company’s projects in Cairo.
The company’s key leadership figures:
Management adopts the “Placemaking” philosophy that goes beyond traditional construction operations to shape fully integrated community environments, drawing on an in-depth research methodology that studies the needs and lifestyles of residents before designing any project, which has earned Imkan its reputation as a Research-Based developer across the Middle East and North Africa region.
Capital Group Properties is distinguished by its adoption of the Placemaking philosophy as the cornerstone of all its projects, as design begins from an understanding of the human and cultural dimensions of residents, then translates this into living spaces that reflect the spirit of the place and enrich people’s lives.
The company applied this philosophy through partnerships with global consulting offices such as the American firm SWA for landscape design, alongside a partnership with Delos, the global organization, to apply “Well-Building” concepts for the first time in Egypt and Africa.
Capital Group aspires to be the most innovative real estate developer in the Middle East and North Africa region, by delivering urban communities that go beyond traditional housing concepts and focus on human happiness and quality of life, while maintaining environmental balance and sustainability, making its projects global residential and investment destinations on Egyptian soil by 2030.
Capital Group Properties has established an extensive network of partnerships to execute its projects to a global standard, distributed across major contracting companies, international consultants, and specialized operators, with total contracts exceeding EGP 2.1 billion in 2024 alone. Regarding the executing entities for the projects, the company contracts with major contracting companies to execute the phases of the Al Burouj project, including:

The actual presence of Capital Group Properties in the Egyptian market centers around one existing flagship project, Al Burouj Compound, which carries the weight of the company’s investment in Egypt, while preparations are underway for the new Fifth Settlement project as an anticipated expansion step.
Al Burouj Compound is Imkan Misr’s iconic project and one of the largest fully integrated residential communities in east Cairo, located on the Cairo–Ismailia Desert Road in the El Shorouk City area in New Heliopolis, 15 minutes from the New Administrative Capital and 20 minutes from New Cairo.
The project’s location is distinguished by its proximity to Obour City and Mostakbal City, making it a pivotal hub in the new urban cluster of east Cairo, extending toward Sixth Settlement.
The project spans an area exceeding 1,200 feddans (approximately 5 million square meters), executed by the company across 4 phases concluding by 2029, with approximately 80% of the total land area dedicated to green spaces, landscaping, and services, with a building ratio not exceeding 20%, one of the lowest ratios among east Cairo compounds.
The company has injected investments exceeding EGP 47 billion into the project, with complete residential phases already delivered, while the project is currently home to approximately 3,500 residents according to announced data.
Al Burouj includes a range of unit types spanning residential apartments, duplexes, townhouses, twin houses, and standalone villas, with areas starting from 90 sqm and reaching up to 400 sqm, and prices starting from EGP 9,000,000 with an installment system starting from a 5% down payment extending up to 10 years.
The project includes a comprehensive service ecosystem comprising Smart Village East, international schools, medical centers, El Sawy Culturewheel cultural center, alongside the newest phase, U by Clubside, launched in February 2026 with a direct view of Al Burouj Sports Club.
