Marakez is the real estate arm of Saudi Arabia’s Fawaz Alhokair Group in Egypt.
operating a portfolio of more than 10 residential and commercial destinations stretching from Greater Cairo to the Delta and the coast, led by Chief Executive Officer Basil Ramzy.
Its residential projects are spread across New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, and the North Coast, with prices starting from around EGP 17,500,000 in coastal destinations and reaching EGP 64,000,000 for large standalone villas, supported by payment plans of up to 8 years that suit a wide range of homebuyers and investors.
The company traces its roots to the Fawaz Alhokair Group, founded by Fawaz Alhokair and his brothers Salman and Abdulmajeed in Saudi Arabia in the late 1980s.
The group started in fashion retail before growing into an investment conglomerate active in retail, shopping centers, hospitality, and real estate development across multiple markets.
The group entered the Egyptian market in 2010 with the opening of Mall of Arabia in 6th of October.
Following the mall’s strong commercial success, the group decided to scale up institutionally, establishing Marakez in 2015 as an Egyptian company specialized in developing and managing mixed-use destinations, run by an Egyptian executive team that combines international expertise with deep knowledge of the local market.
Since that turning point, the company has expanded its portfolio to include shopping centers in Tanta, Mansoura, and East Cairo, alongside fully integrated residential communities in New Cairo and West Cairo, before extending further into coastal destinations.
This trajectory has cemented its position among Egypt’s leading mixed-use developers after more than 15 years of continuous operation in the Egyptian market.
The company draws its strength from the financial solidity of its parent group, and its projects are known for blending living, working, shopping, and entertainment within a single destination.
Its commercial centers serve millions of visitors every year, while its residential communities are home to thousands of families, giving its residential projects a clear operational edge over conventional developments.
This model is most visible in how the company plans its residential destinations: each project is built around a commercial and services hub from day one rather than adding it later, so residents find schools, offices, restaurants, and entertainment within their daily walking range, while investors benefit from constant operational activity that sustains demand and supports long-term rental value.
The company’s leadership combines institutional oversight by the Alhokair family at the parent-group level with a professional Egyptian executive team managing operations in the local market, a mix that has successfully transferred the group’s regional expertise into locally run projects built to international standards.
The company’s philosophy holds that a successful project is not merely a collection of residential units but a complete destination that stays alive throughout the day.
Its projects are therefore built around commercial and entertainment hubs that are genuinely operational: the facilities in its communities are not promises on a master plan but existing centers managed by the company itself, an approach that sets it apart from many developers who separate development from operation.
The company also partners with leading consultancy firms and contractors, treating build quality and schedule discipline as part of the product’s identity rather than a marketing claim.
The company aspires to be Egypt’s first-choice developer of mixed-use destinations by building communities that form the heart and soul of the areas they serve, transforming the housing experience from a unit behind a wall into a lifestyle where residential, commercial, and entertainment elements work in harmony.
The company has built an operational record that combines fully functioning commercial centers with residential communities at different stages of development.
The table below summarizes the key milestones of that record:
| Project | Location | Type | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mall of Arabia | 6th of October | Commercial | Operating since 2010 |
| Mall of Tanta | Tanta | Commercial | Operating |
| Mall of Mansoura | Mansoura | Commercial | Operating |
| Town Center | East Cairo | Commercial | Operating |
| D5M | New Katameya | Commercial | Operating |
| Aeon Towers | 6th of October | Residential & offices | First residential towers in West Cairo |
| Crescent Walk Compound | 6th Settlement | Residential | Under construction |
| District 5 Compound | 5th Settlement | Residential & commercial | Developed in phases |
| Giza Terraces Compound | Sheikh Zayed | Residential (villas) | Latest launch |
| Ramla Village | North Coast | Coastal | Under construction |
This record reflects a clear mix of commercial, residential, and coastal assets, with a geographic footprint stretching from West and East Cairo to the Delta and the coast.
A rare pattern among developers in the Egyptian market as it combines income-generating assets that have operated for years with residential projects at different stages of growth.
