ELM Developments is one of Egypt’s newest and most distinguished real estate companies, founded in 2024 under the leadership of Dr. Yasser Abdel Maksoud as Executive Chairman and H.E.
Dr. Assem El-Gazzar, Egypt’s former Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities (March 2019 – July 2024) as Non-Executive Chairman, alongside a network of seasoned leaders in real estate development, design, and brokerage, giving the company a level of leadership pedigree rarely seen in young real estate firms.
ELM specializes in residential, commercial, and mixed-use destinations, and has launched its first project, ELM Tree Compound, in 6th of October City across 58 feddans, in partnership with French firm Architecturestudio and Moharram-Bakhoum – ACE, with flexible payment plans and prices starting from EGP 3,900,000.
élm Developments entered the Egyptian real estate market in 2024 as the outcome of a strategic partnership between several of the country’s most prominent leaders in housing, real estate development, architectural design, and brokerage.
The company combines the depth of experience held by established industry veterans with the agility and forward-looking vision of a younger generation focused on applying the most current concepts in urban planning, which has given it a remarkably solid foundation from its very first steps despite its recent market entry.
ELM specializes in the development of residential, commercial, and mixed-use destinations, and its development philosophy rests on three core pillars: trust, efficiency, and sustainability.
The company seeks to deliver fully integrated communities that move beyond the traditional notion of building toward shaping living environments that bring together comfort, beauty, and long-term investment value. The chairman’s message captures this philosophy in a single phrase: “We’re not just builders, we’re nation shapers.”
ELM launched its inaugural residential project under the name ELM Tree Compound in the heart of the northern expansion of 6th of October City, alongside a commercial component under the name Elm Tree Commercial Park, currently in the development phase.
Looking ahead, the company plans to expand geographically through additional residential and commercial destinations in strategic Greater Cairo locations such as Sheikh Zayed and New Cairo, with a longer-term ambition to extend its reach into Middle Eastern markets, according to the company’s announced expansion plans.
ELM’s board of directors brings together four distinguished figures, each anchoring a different area of expertise, granting the company a leadership depth uncommonly found among recently established real estate entities. The board members are as follows:
ELM Developments approaches real estate from a perspective that distinguishes it from the conventional model prevailing in the local market. The company treats a residential unit as far more than a place to live; it views it as a complete living space where nature converges with modern design within a thoughtfully crafted master plan.
ELM’s projects rely on low-density development patterns with a significant portion of total area reserved for green landscapes and open spaces, while drawing on top-tier local and international consultants and designers to ensure construction quality and full alignment with global standards.
The company’s vision centers on becoming one of the leading real estate entities in Egypt and the wider Arab region in the coming years, through projects that redefine the meaning of refined living and place the comfort of the client and the quality of their environment at the heart of every development decision, with steady commitment to environmental sustainability and operational efficiency at every stage of the project.
ELM is working toward a clearly defined set of strategic goals, including: developing residential, commercial, and mixed-use destinations to a quality level that competes with international standards; building a diverse portfolio of projects across strategic Greater Cairo locations; partnering with leading international consultants on design and execution; offering flexible payment systems suited to multiple client segments; gradually expanding beyond Egyptian borders toward promising Middle Eastern markets; and maintaining a firm commitment to sustainability standards throughout every project.
From its very first project, ELM has built an exceptional network of partnerships with leading design and consulting firms at both the international and regional levels, ensuring that its projects carry a design signature that competes with global standards despite the company’s recent founding. Its most notable partnerships include:

Despite its recent founding, ELM has launched a fully integrated project that combines residential and commercial components on the same plot of land. The following table summarizes the company’s current portfolio of projects in development:
| Project | Location | Type | Area | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELM Tree Compound | Northern Expansion – 6th of October | Residential (apartments and duplexes) | 58 feddans | In development |
| Elm Tree Commercial Park | Within ELM Tree – 6th of October | Commercial Mixed-use | Within the master plan | In development |
ELM’s current approach reflects a deliberate focus on building a single, fully integrated residential and commercial destination in 6th of October rather than pursuing rapid geographic expansion, a path commonly taken by newly established real estate entities that prefer to anchor a flagship project before extending into additional markets.
