ZAYA Developments brings together more than two decades of experience in the Egyptian real estate market with a contemporary vision for building integrated residential destinations, having established itself as one of the developers delivering premium projects across the most prestigious neighborhoods of Sheikh Zayed City and 6th of October City. The company’s diverse portfolio includes the La Castle series, Roudy Residence, One Three One (131), Crescent Dream Land, HOM October Gardens, and The Flow Zayed. ZAYA embraces a philosophy of “crafting destinations, not just spaces,” with every project reflecting its commitment to world-class design, partnerships with leading engineering consultants, flexible payment plans extending up to 10 years, and contract down payments starting from 0%.
ZAYA Developments has been operating in the Egyptian real estate market for over 21 years, and throughout this long journey the company has successfully delivered a series of luxury residential projects focused on low-density gated communities with high levels of privacy. The name “ZAYA” carries a profound meaning that reflects the concept of fate and destiny, perfectly aligned with the company’s mission to shape destinations that leave a lasting impact for generations to come.
The company began its journey with a vision combining deep engineering expertise with a clear understanding of modern Egyptian family needs, starting with projects inside Egypt’s most prestigious residential neighborhoods, then expanding to new urban cities such as New Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October City, and October Gardens, becoming today one of the prominent real estate entities expanding across West Cairo with a notable presence in the most sought-after areas.
ZAYA Developments is led by a team of founders with extensive experience in contracting and investment, headed by Engineer Mazen Sheltout, owner of Buildix Constructions, which operates in the contracting field and has participated in executing construction works for major Egyptian real estate developers, alongside Mr. Ekrami Youssef, the co-founding partner, giving ZAYA the financial and operational strength supporting its expansion plans across the market.

ZAYA develops residential units of all types including standalone villas, twin houses, townhouses, apartments, and duplexes, in addition to commercial and administrative facilities within its mixed-use communities. The company adopts an urban philosophy centered on expansive green areas exceeding 80% of the total compound area in some projects, blending landscape elements and water features to create atmospheres rich with tranquility and privacy.
ZAYA’s projects are positioned in the heart of West Cairo’s most sought-after areas, distributed between the 4th District, 8th District, and 11th District within New Sheikh Zayed, alongside two distinctive locations in 6th of October City: Dream Land and the Golden Square area within October Gardens. This geographical spread offers clients the opportunity to choose between varied residential environments, from quiet green-belt villa communities to modern apartments close to clubs and commercial hubs.
One of the most notable highlights of ZAYA’s track record is that Phase 1 of Roudy Residence was completely Sold Out before Phase 2 was even completed, an indicator of client confidence in the company’s track record and its ability to meet delivery schedules. The company continues to launch new phases of its flagship projects alongside introducing fresh destinations in the most demanded areas of West Cairo, such as the Golden Square within October Gardens.
Explore the track record of ZAYA Developments
ZAYA’s real estate development philosophy is built on five core values that form the pillars of every project the company launches. These values begin with selecting the Location as the starting point for any new community, where the company carefully picks land plots in proximity to main roads, vital services, and surrounding nature, ensuring residents have easy access to various daily destinations. The company views location as more than just a point on the map, but rather as the canvas upon which complete residential destinations are painted, which is why it prefers locations that combine family tranquility with proximity to entertainment, educational, and healthcare services simultaneously.
Flexibility comes as the second value, reflected in unit designs and payment plans, where interior layouts are crafted to suit different lifestyles, from large families to newlyweds, while payment schedules range from low down payments starting at 5% to installment plans extending up to 10 years without interest, serving multiple client and investor segments.
The element of Continuity reflects the company’s commitment to architectural quality that withstands the test of time, where building materials are carefully selected to endure the Egyptian climate and meet earthquake-resistance standards, while ZAYA collaborates with elite architectural designers and engineering consultants to ensure its projects maintain the same quality level for decades to come, with property values appreciating progressively over time. This translates into the design of internal infrastructure networks for compounds, from electricity and water grids to architectural facades that retain their elegance for years after delivery.
The company places Transformative design and Quality of Life at the heart of every project, where a compound is never treated as merely a collection of residential units, but rather as a fully integrated environment featuring sports facilities, entertainment areas, gardens, walking and jogging tracks, and commercial zones, allowing residents to spend their entire day without needing to leave the compound.
ZAYA Developments relies on a network of specialized partnerships that help execute its projects to the highest engineering and architectural standards, topped by the collaboration with Sabbour Consulting, one of Egypt’s most established engineering firms with a legacy spanning over six decades, where the firm sets the master plan designs and structural consultancy for the company’s flagship projects including Roudy Residence, 131 Compound, and HOM October Gardens.
The company also partners with WB Engineering Consultants as a supporting engineering consultant on the 131 (One Three One) project, alongside an elite group of consulting engineers headed by Engineer Hussein Sabbour, who oversees the engineering design of HOM October Gardens and gives it its distinctive architectural signature.
The partnership network extends to interior design firms and specialized construction companies, in addition to marketing agencies and real estate consultancies, and this integrated network of partners forms a fundamental factor in ZAYA’s ability to deliver a complete real estate product from land planning through unit handover, while maintaining consistent quality across every execution phase.
