MakePlace Developments is one of the Egyptian real estate companies that chose specialisation over scattered expansion. Since its establishment in 2014 under the leadership of its founder Eng. Khaled Saeed, the company has concentrated on a single product type: multi-use commercial buildings that bring retail, administrative and medical units together under one roof.
According to the company’s official website, its portfolio comprises 11 projects with a combined value exceeding EGP 11 billion, spread across the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo in the east and 6th of October in the west, with unit prices starting from around EGP 5,270,000 and reaching close to EGP 30,000,000 depending on the activity, the area and the floor level.
Makeplace developments
MakePlace Developments is an Egyptian real estate developer that officially launched in 2014, following years of work within the construction and development sector that led to the decision to expand as an independent brand carrying the MakePlace name. That shift gave the company far greater freedom in choosing its locations and shaping the character of its projects.
The company is led by its founder, Eng. Khaled Saeed, whose experience in the Egyptian property market runs deep. Under his direction, MakePlace moved from an emerging developer to a recognised name in the commercial mall segment, with an announced track record that stretches from Cloudnine through to its two most recent developments, Radium and Atom.
The company operates within one clearly defined field, which is the development of mixed-use commercial, administrative and medical projects. Its portfolio contains no residential compounds or coastal villages, and that focus is precisely what allowed it to build accumulated expertise in mall design, in distributing floors across different activities, and in managing operations after handover.
Geographically, the projects fall along two main axes. East Cairo takes the larger share through developments in the Fifth Settlement and the wider New Cairo area, while the westward expansion into 6th of October came through a group of commercial projects built inside large residential communities that were already established, a different model that serves existing residents rather than waiting for a new community to form from scratch.
The company’s evolution becomes clear when its earliest work is set beside its latest. Early projects came with moderate footprints and a simple layout serving a limited catchment, whereas recent developments exceed 15,000 sqm per project, with a more complex floor distribution that separates retail from administrative and medical activity, alongside underground parking and integrated operation and maintenance systems.
Unit types range between retail shops, offices, clinics and pharmacies, with areas starting from roughly 58 sqm in some projects, supported by payment plans extending up to 10 years and down payments starting from 6% in the developments currently under construction.
The MakePlace philosophy rests on a simple idea: a successful commercial project is not leased floor space, it is a place people return to. The company therefore selects its sites based on population movement that already exists rather than on future projections, which explains why its developments sit in front of the gates of established residential cities, major universities and primary road axes.
On the execution side, the company works to two stated principles, on-time handover and construction quality without compromise. It also collaborates with engineering consultancies and specialised marketing and management firms, including Hafez Consultant on consultancy work alongside Prime and ERA on the Agora project.
This approach shows in the design of the buildings themselves. Activities are distributed across successive floors so that each segment gets its own entrance and circulation without overlap, keeping the ground floor for retail that opens onto the street while offices and clinics rise to the quieter upper levels. The arrangement lifts the rental value of each unit and preserves the privacy of every activity at the same time.
The company sees real estate as an open canvas for innovation rather than a built asset, and aims for each of its developments to stand as a distinct landmark in its own right instead of a repeat of the one before it, so that a project becomes, over time, a legacy rather than simply a property that changes hands.

The partnership with Palm Hills Developments stands as the most significant milestone in the company’s journey. It opened the door to developing commercial projects inside established, fully occupied residential communities, saving MakePlace years of waiting for new districts to mature.
These partnerships translate directly into value for the buyer. A project built inside Palm Hills October or next to Palm Parks begins its operating life with a ready-made customer base, while developments in the east, close to Palm Hills New Cairo, benefit from the high residential density surrounding them.

| Atom | Fifth Settlement — facing the AUC | Retail, administrative & medical | 15,800 sqm | Under construction |
The table reveals a consistent pattern in site selection: delivered projects were concentrated inside established residential communities or along primary axes, while the two newest developments landed in the heart of the Fifth Settlement, directly opposite the area’s two largest traffic generators, Rehab City and the American University in Cairo.
Mall atom of Makeplace developments
The Fifth Settlement holds the company’s most recent work. Radium occupies a corner plot on Youssef El Sebaie Street, directly facing Gate 23 of Rehab City, spanning 18,500 sqm across a ground floor plus two upper levels, with a frontage exceeding 200 metres and a layout that dedicates the lower floors to retail and the upper ones to offices and clinics.
Atom, meanwhile, sits a short walk from the American University in Cairo across 15,800 sqm, with clinic prices starting from EGP 9,900,000. It is the development that most clearly reflects the company’s move towards serving the healthcare sector and small office occupiers together.
Across the wider New Cairo area, the company’s earlier work is distributed between Cloudnine on the Mohamed Naguib Axis with a footprint of 8,000 sqm, Village Garden Katameya in the Katameya district, and Agora within the Golden Square, alongside the V90 and 9 Yards developments.
In 6th of October, expansion took a different shape. Instead of hunting for land along a main road, the company moved inside the residential communities themselves through three commercial developments: The Lane in Palm Valley, Hale Town in Golf Views and Golf Central in Golf Extension.
These three projects serve local residents directly through shops, restaurants and everyday services, a commercial model that is stable by nature because its customer base lives minutes away, insulated from the seasonal swings in visitor traffic that affect standalone destinations.
The model also gives the investor an advantage that standalone projects struggle to match, in that the development opens onto a service catchment with limited competition inside a relatively enclosed residential area.
It becomes the nearest destination for thousands of households instead of competing with dozens of malls along the main roads, and that shows in occupancy rates and in how quickly units begin trading after handover.
