Continental Developments is one of the real estate development companies specializing in upscale residential and tourism projects in Egypt, led by architect Eng. Shehab Mazhar, with experience spanning more than four decades in architecture and urban development, having contributed to the design and development of a number of Egypt’s most prominent landmarks.
The company’s current efforts are focused on its flagship coastal project in the Sidi Haneish area on the North Coast, through units including chalets, townhouses, twin houses, and standalone villas, with prices starting from EGP 17 million, within flexible payment plans extending over several years.
The company combines deep engineering expertise with the ability to execute professionally in collaboration with strong implementation and financing partners, delivering a fully integrated real estate product in terms of design and services, suited to both clients and investors alike.

About Continental and Its Founding History
The roots of Continental Developments trace back to the architectural office founded by Eng. Shehab Mazhar in 1978 under the name Shehab Mazhar Architects, which began its activity in architectural consulting and engineering design, before evolving over the following decades into a multi-disciplinary entity spanning from design to real estate development.
From this long experience, the development arm of the company was born in partnership with Eng. Hisham Abu Seif, combining architectural vision with the ability to manage and execute major projects to the highest standards.
The company’s work is based on a balanced mix of engineering depth, disciplined financial management, and flexible project management, which has enabled it to build a strong reputation and earn the trust of investors and clients.
The company’s capabilities were demonstrated in its flagship coastal project in the Sidi Haneish area on the North Coast, where it succeeded in acquiring, restructuring, and fully developing it in collaboration with investment house Zilla Capital, to be relaunched as one of the most prominent luxury coastal destinations in the region.
The company operates in the development of residential, tourism, and commercial projects, with a focus on fully integrated coastal resorts that combine residential units, recreational facilities, and a commercial component.
The architectural track record of the company’s founder adds an additional dimension of credibility, as he stands behind a number of Egypt’s most important real estate landmarks, such as the renovation of Tahrir Square and the master plan of El Gouna, alongside contributions to the design of Palm Hills Compound in October and Hacienda Red village, works that have left their mark on the Egyptian urban landscape.
The architectural office’s work has diversified throughout its career to include residential complexes, hotels, tourist resorts, administrative buildings, restaurants, commercial centers, sports and entertainment facilities, and healthcare facilities, a diversity that has given the company extensive practical experience in dealing with different types of projects and understanding the needs of each sector.

Continental’s Track Record
The company adopts a focused model based on developing a flagship coastal project with luxury specifications rather than being scattered across a large number of projects, and at the top of its current portfolio is:
| Project |
Location |
Type |
Area |
Status |
| Marsa Bagoush Village |
Sidi Haneish, North Coast |
Coastal Residential Tourism Resort |
Approx. 76 feddans |
Delivery 2026 |
Despite the current portfolio being focused on a single project, the founder’s long architectural record and the execution partner’s expertise lend this project credibility. This focused model also allows all resources and expertise to be directed toward a single project alone, which is reflected in the finishing level, service quality, and pace of completion.

The project is rich in a fully integrated services and entertainment ecosystem featuring artificial lakes, a crystal lagoon, water features, swimming pools, wellness centers, restaurants, and commercial areas, alongside a depth that grants most units sea views through a stepped terrace design.
