DMA Developments — known in engineering circles as Dar Al Mimar Architects — is one of the most established engineering and development consultancy firms in the Egyptian market.
The company was founded by architect Amr Soliman in 1989, growing from a small office into an engineering institution behind the design and planning of more than 2,000 projects across residential, commercial, and tourism sectors over more than 37 years.
The company’s footprint is concentrated in New Cairo, the Administrative Capital, the North Coast, and New Alamein, serving as the engineering backbone of the Mountain View and Madinaty projects, while its development portfolio extends to Raville Compound, with prices starting from EGP 6,700,000, offering an urban experience that combines construction quality, modern design, and commitment to delivery timelines.
DMA (Dar Al Mimar Architects) is the cornerstone upon which Dar Al Mimar Group (DMG) was built, one of the most fully-integrated entities in the region’s real estate sector.
The company was launched in 1989 by architect Amr Soliman with a small team of engineers, then gradually expanded to become a firm of expertise comprising more than 250 engineers and specialists according to the company’s official profile, working across urban planning, architectural and interior design, structural engineering, MEP works, and construction supervision.
The group has not limited itself to design alone, bringing under its umbrella sister companies that cover the full development cycle — from the contracting and construction management company to the landscaping arm and finishing, furnishing, and facilities management companies — culminating in Mountain View, established in 2005 to serve as the group’s real estate development arm.
DMA thus handles the design and planning of the project while sister companies execute and manage it, giving the group a rare ability to deliver fully-integrated urban communities from concept to delivery.
DMA’s design and development footprint spans a number of new cities, from New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital to the North Coast and New Alamein City, with its work also extending into Gulf markets.
Throughout its journey, the company has established itself as one of the most prominent engineering consultancy firms in Egypt and the region, having been behind the engineering design of a large number of major projects, including the Mountain View communities and its participation in planning Madinaty.
Its portfolio covers diverse sectors including residential, commercial, administrative, educational, tourism, and healthcare, reflecting the breadth of its urban development expertise.
DMA and Dar Al Mimar Group are led by a group of engineering leaders with extensive experience, headed by the founder credited with establishing the concept of “Happiness in Architecture” in the Egyptian market.
The Board of Directors is distributed across specializations combining design, operations, and financial management to ensure integrated decision-making within the group and thus maintain the trust of clients and partners.
DMA’s philosophy is built on the principle of “Happiness in Architecture,” based on designing the building from the inside out so that it meets the user’s needs and balances four core elements: beauty, comfort, efficiency, and cost.
This approach is clearly evident in the company’s adoption of unconventional design solutions, such as four-dimensional design, which separates vehicle movement from pedestrian pathways in the Mountain View communities, reflecting its ability to translate creative ideas into a lived experience.
The company’s distinction is based on a documented quality system, having obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification across all its sectors, and relying on a multidisciplinary engineering team and a network of consultants and designers that ensure commitment to the finest technical details and agreed delivery timelines — establishing its name as a reference point in design and urban planning among major developers.
DMA aspires to become the leading reference and entity in delivering fully-integrated urban solutions in the Middle East and Africa by 2030, by moving beyond the concept of conventional development toward creating living environments that elevate quality of life, combining authentic architectural character with the latest global technologies, transforming its projects into landmarks that contribute to the sustainable development of communities.
DMA has built a network of partnerships and contracts with major players in the Egyptian real estate market, given its role as a design and engineering consultancy firm. The most important of these partnerships include:

DMA’s track record combines two complementary roles: the engineering design and planning of giant projects on one hand, and real estate development on the other. The table below shows the most notable of this work:
| Project | City | Type | Area | Role and Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raville Compound | New Cairo | Residential | Exceeds 1,200 feddans | Development — Available for booking |
| Mountain View iCity | Fifth Settlement | Fully-integrated residential | 500 feddans | Design and planning |
| Mountain View Ras El Hekma | North Coast | Coastal | 450 feddans | Design and planning |
| Madinaty | East Cairo | Fully-integrated city | Thousands of feddans | Participation in planning and design |
| Mountain View Communities | Various cities | Diverse | — | Design and supervision |
This diversity reflects DMA’s expertise extending from the heart of Fifth Settlement and East Cairo to the shores of Ras El Hekma, and its ability to work with different types of residential, coastal, and fully-integrated communities under a single set of design standards.
The table also highlights the company’s dual role: as the designer and planner of projects developed by other entities, and as the direct developer of Raville Compound, giving its expertise a reach across both sides of the real estate equation, from design to delivery.
Our website features complete details of the most notable project developed by DMA in New Cairo, alongside the Mountain View communities that carry its design and planning signature.
Raville Compound is the most prominent development project in DMA’s portfolio, located in a strategic position on Mosheer Tantawy Axis near Suez Road within New Cairo.
The project is distinguished by allocating approximately 80% of its area to green spaces and artificial lakes, against a limited percentage for buildings, providing low population density and high privacy, with residential units of varied areas meeting the different needs of individuals and families. Prices start from EGP 6,700,000, with a payment plan starting with a down payment of 5% and installments extending up to 10 years.
As for the Mountain View communities that DMA designed and planned — such as Mountain View iCity and the Ras El Hekma, October, and Administrative Capital projects — the latest complete details on them can be found on the Mountain View Developments page on our website.
