About Town Writers Developments
The story began in 2017, when Eight Developments entered the market as part of ARO Holding. It was among the early developers to bet on the New Administrative Capital with commercial and administrative projects. Downtown Mall came first in the Downtown district, followed by Downtown Mall II, 88 HUB Mall, Central Point and The Strip Mall.
In 2023, the company went through a full rebrand and became Town Writers, a name that literally means “the writers of cities”. The new name reflects its shift from malls to fully integrated residential communities. In February 2024 it launched its first residential project in the 5th Settlement, alongside acquiring a stake in Revolve Mall on the Tahrir Axis in New Cairo.
The company holds a land bank of around 15 feddans earmarked for upcoming projects. Its construction budget is split between EGP 600 million in 2025 and EGP 1.2 billion in 2026, aimed at pushing progress on the Capital’s malls and the New Cairo project.
According to the chairman’s statements to Hapi Journal, the company plans to inject EGP 15 billion over two years, raising its total market investments to EGP 30 billion. The plan includes launching more than one new project and expanding into tourism, and he noted that 30% of the company’s sales go to clients living outside Egypt.
The company’s activity is not limited to real estate. In February 2026, according to Sout Al Omma, it announced an investment of EGP 60 million in the “Keep Moving” brand, a step towards becoming an integrated brand that brings together living, sports and wellness.
Town Writers Board of Directors
- Omar El Saadawy — Founder and Chairman. He made the early decision to enter the New Administrative Capital and now leads the expansion into residential and tourism projects, as well as the company’s construction partnerships.
- Mohamed Abdel Fattah — CEO. He announced the launch of the company’s first residential project in New Cairo, including its master plan and components.
Town Writers Development Philosophy
The company builds its residential projects around the Boutique Living concept: a small, low-density community that runs against the mega-projects common in New Cairo. In its first residential compound, buildings take up only 19% of the land, with the larger share given to landscaping, walkways and facilities.
On the commercial side, the approach is to choose high-footfall locations inside the New Administrative Capital, such as the Downtown district and the area around the Iconic Tower. Retail floors are separated from administrative floors within the same building. The company works with the office of engineer Moharram Bakhoum as engineering consultant, along with specialist houses in design and marketing.
Town Writers Vision
The company aims to redefine urban living through projects that start with a clear idea before construction, so that each project carries its own identity. It also seeks to balance product quality with cost to the buyer. This shows in the name of its first residential project, “Notion”, which means an idea before it turns into reality.
Town Writers Goals
- Complete the handover of the five New Capital malls and raise construction rates with a specialist construction partner.
- Turn the current land bank into new projects launched in phases across East Cairo.
- Enter the tourism sector as a third business line alongside commercial and residential.
- Grow the base of buyers living abroad, who already represent a meaningful share of sales.
- Offer long payment plans that open the New Cairo market to a wider range of buyers.

Several residential communities in the same area are worth comparing before buying. Hyde Park Views is a phase within the larger Hyde Park community, offering apartments that overlook the central park for buyers who want a community with services already in place.
For mid-sized apartments in a price range close to Notion’s apartments, Begonia Residence in New Cairo stands out. Eastshire Compound is a direct alternative for buyers weighing townhouses against villas in the 5th Settlement.
Stone Park suits buyers who prefer a community at an advanced stage of construction, with both apartments and villas, Hyde Park Terraces offers apartments with wide terraces for those who value outdoor living space.
The Marq Gardens follows the same low-density philosophy as Notion, with units overlooking wide internal green spaces.

Investment Advantages of Town Writers Projects
- One of the longest payment plans in the area: installments of up to 15 years in the residential project, while most 5th Settlement projects stop at 8 years. This lowers the monthly installment and spreads finishing costs over a longer period.
- Low entry point: the 51 sqm studio is the lowest-cost way to own a unit in a gated compound in this area. It is also the fastest size to rent out, thanks to its proximity to the American University in Cairo.
- Low building density: a building ratio of no more than 19% helps protect resale value compared with crowded communities.
- Small commercial units: units at 88 HUB Mall start from 30 sqm, suiting individual investors who want rental income with limited capital.
- Announced construction funding: a specialist construction partner and an annual construction budget give buyers a clear signal that delivery schedules are taken seriously.
