Manaj Developments is an Egyptian developer with EGP 2 billion in paid-up capital and three New Cairo projects spanning hotel-managed units, residential, and commercial-administrative destinations — led by Blanks Compound under the Swiss-Belresidences brand.
Manaj Developments moved from the contracting business into real estate development carrying a land bank that exceeds 60 acres valued at an estimated EGP 13 billion, split between the Fifth Settlement and New Zayed.
The company is chaired by Eng. Abdel Moneim Gheita and co-founded with Eng. Mohamed Hussein, both of whom built their execution record on the construction side before launching the developer as an independent entity.
Its published portfolio runs to three developments concentrated in New Cairo, covering managed serviced apartments, conventional residential units and a retail-and-administrative destination, with unit prices starting from EGP 7,026,800 and climbing to roughly EGP 12,120,900 in the premium tiers.

About Manaj Developments
Manaj Developments S.A.E. is an Egyptian real estate company whose two founders.
Eng. Abdel Moneim Gheita and Eng. Mohamed Hussein, began their careers in construction in 2013, accumulating execution experience across more than 80 construction projects before deciding that the next step was to own the product rather than build it for others.
That background explains the way the company entered the market, since it arrived with contracting capability already in hand and did not need to build an execution arm from scratch.
ًWhich is why its first development moved from land acquisition to launch inside a market as competitive as the Fifth Settlement in a relatively short window.
The company operates with a paid-in capital of EGP 2 billion.
Its landholdings are divided between the Fifth Settlement in New Cairo and the newer expansion belt around Sheikh Zayed on the western side of Greater Cairo, giving it a presence on both of the capital’s growth axes rather than a single one.
Its activity spans three product lines, being residential compounds, retail and administrative destinations, and hotel-managed residences.
With the third line now defining how the brand is read in the market after it signed an international hospitality operator onto its flagship community.
Rather than chasing horizontal expansion across multiple governorates.
The company has kept to mid-sized developments on prime plots, a choice that shows in unit counts measured in hundreds instead of thousands.
In build-up ratios deliberately held low so that landscape and facilities take the larger share of every site.
The company has also announced that it is studying a new hotel and administrative project in the Fifth Settlement with investments reaching EGP 20 billion.
Which would represent the largest single commitment in its history and signal a move deeper into mixed-use development.
Manaj Developments Board of Directors
Eng. Abdel Moneim Gheita serves as Chairman and co-founder.
His career since 2013 has run from construction execution into design-led development, a trajectory that placed him behind more than eighty built projects before the developer was established as a standalone entity.
Eng. Mohamed Hussein is the second co-founder.
His focus sits on the technical side of the business, supervising each development phase against international construction standards, from material specification through to handover quality.
Eng. Abdel Moneim Gheita — Chairman and Co-Founder.
Eng. Mohamed Hussein — Co-Founder, overseeing development and construction quality.
Manaj Developments’ Philosophy in Real Estate Development
The clearest way to read the company’s approach is through density.
Its developments cap buildings at ground floor plus four upper stores with no more than four units per floor.
Hold the built-up ratio below 20% of the land, and push ceiling heights to 3 meters, which together produce a boutique product rather than a high-yield one.
The second thread is operation.
Delivering a unit fully finished with a fitted kitchen and installed air conditioning is not presented as a luxury upgrade but as a technical requirement.
Since a hotel-standard service system cannot run consistently unless every apartment leaves the site with an identical specification.
On the design side the company works through named consultants rather than in-house teams, bringing in Hany Saad Innovations for architecture and planning.
Eng. Omar Aqeel as engineering consultant on its flagship community, where the brief called for a contemporary European hotel language.
Manaj Developments Vision
The company frames its ambition around the idea of a safe haven.
Meaning a development that is judged by the quality of daily life inside it rather than by the size of its master plan, and it positions trust and serenity as the two returns a buyer should expect alongside the financial one.
Manaj Developments Goals
Establishing hotel-managed residences as a product category in the Fifth Settlement, through long-term agreements with international operators instead of conventional facility management contracts.
Turning owned units into income-generating assets, by structuring short-stay letting through an on-site operator so the owner carries none of the marketing or check-in burden.
Holding density below market norms, keeping green space, water features and facilities above four-fifths of every site.
Delivering fully finished, so that handover carries no additional finishing cost for the buyer.
Expanding the land bank westward beyond New Cairo into the Sheikh Zayed growth belt, spreading exposure across two separate demand pools.
Moving into mixed-use development, combining hotel and administrative components on a single plot rather than purely residential schemes.
Manaj Developments Strategic Partnerships
Swiss-Belhotel International — the global hospitality group signed a 20-year management agreement covering the operation of the developer’s flagship community, and 200 of its apartments carry the Swiss-Belresidences branding under that agreement.
Hany Saad Innovations — the architecture and interior design partner responsible for the nature-led massing language and the facade treatment across the developer’s projects.
Eng. Omar Aqeel — engineering consultant on the flagship community, where the contemporary European hotel style and the low-rise block layout were set.
Eng. Raef Fahmy — reported as the engineering consultant on the developer’s residential compound in the South Investors Area.
The company has also taken its portfolio to the Gulf market through participation in the HAZI MISR property exhibition in Dubai, targeting Egyptian expatriate buyers who make up a growing share of demand for serviced units in New Cairo.
For enquiries about new investment partnerships with Manaj Developments, the Manaj Developments hotline +201118183030 provides detailed information directly from the sales department.
All three developments sit inside a single catchment on the eastern side of Cairo.
Which reads less as a coincidence and more as a deliberate strategy of building depth in one market before opening a second front.

Blanks Compound Manaj Developments
Manaj Developments Projects in New Cairo
Blanks Compound is the developer’s first community built entirely as managed hotel apartments, with all 415 units placed under an international operator and unit sizes running from 55 sqm to 104 sqm.
It sits directly behind the American University in Cairo, three minutes from the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis, and prices open at EGP 7,026,800 on plans that stretch to twelve years.
What separates it from everything around it is that the service layer, covering reception, housekeeping and concierge, is contractual rather than promotional.
Holm Residence and Solarium Business, the developer’s two other developments, do not currently have dedicated pages published, and details on both can be requested directly from the sales department.

The Waterway Compound — roughly ten minutes away, and one of the most established mixed-use addresses in the district thanks to its retail and dining strip.

Palm Hills New Cairo — a reference point for anyone weighing a long delivery track record against a newer developer with a tighter product.

Investment Advantages in Manaj Developments Projects
Managed rental income without owner effort — a hotel operator working under a two-decade contract lets an apartment be offered on short stays, a model that typically outperforms an annual lease, with marketing, check-in and maintenance handled on site.
Absorption already proven — the first phase of the flagship community sold out in full for EGP 2 billion, which is the strongest available evidence that the serviced-apartment concept has been accepted in the Fifth Settlement.
A low entry barrier — down payments open at 5% and installments extend to 12 years, allowing entry with limited liquidity relative to unit value.
Demand anchored by location — proximity to the American University, the German University and the office corridor along 90th Street supplies a standing tenant base of academics, international students and corporate staff.
No finishing cost after handover — every unit is delivered fully finished super lux with a fitted kitchen and installed air conditioning, which removes a cost line that usually adds a double-digit percentage to the total.
