Blanks compound New Cairo by Manaj Developments

Blanks Compound New Cairo is the first project in New Cairo that Manaj Developments has built entirely as managed hotel apartments, with all 415 units operated by Swiss-Belhotel International under a 20-year management agreement, bringing daily hospitality service inside the residential unit itself.

The project sits in the South Investors Area of New Cairo, directly behind the American University in Cairo and just 3 minutes from the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis, in a pocket that combines the quiet of a settled residential district with immediate access to the city’s main arteries.

Unit prices at Blanks start from EGP 7,026,800 on an installment plan, with a down payment starting at just 5% and a payment period extending up to 12 years.

Every unit is delivered fully finished with a fitted kitchen and installed air conditioning, so owners move in from day one with no additional cost.

About Blanks Compound New Cairo

The idea behind Blanks Compound is not a residential compound with a few services bolted on. It is a hotel sold by the unit. At the project’s launch press conference, Manaj Developments confirmed that Blanks consists entirely of serviced hotel apartments, and that their operation has been assigned to Swiss-Belhotel International, one of the fastest-growing hotel management groups in the world.

That single decision changed the design logic from the ground up, A unit here is no longer just a living space. It is part of a daily operating system that includes reception, room service, concierge and scheduled housekeeping, which makes living at Blanks New Cairo closer to long-stay hospitality than to conventional home ownership.

The architecture was developed by engineering consultant Eng. Omar Aqeel, who adopted a contemporary European hotel style. The facades read as calm horizontal lines in neutral tones that sit comfortably against the surrounding landscape, then break into generous balconies overlooking the water features and gardens.

The massing is where the project’s philosophy becomes most visible. The smaller share of the land was given to buildings.

while the larger share went entirely to green spaces, artificial lakes and service facilities. The result is wide separation between blocks and an open view from more than one direction for almost every unit.

At building level, the blocks were designed as ground floor plus 4 upper floors only, with no more than 4 units per floor, and ceiling heights reaching 3 meters.

Together, these three design decisions lower the density inside each building and raise the sense of volume inside each apartment.

This combination a limited unit count, low-rise buildings, and a green ratio covering more than four-fifths of the land — explains why Blanks is positioned as a boutique development rather than a large-scale compound. It targets buyers who want privacy and service before they want size.

Total investment in the project reached EGP 7 billion, while the first phase sold out completely for EGP 2 billion, an early indicator of how strong demand is for the serviced apartment model in the Fifth Settlement.

Blanks Compound New Cairo Location

Blanks Compound is located in the South Investors Area of the Fifth Settlement, specifically behind the American University in Cairo, within the urban strip that runs between the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and South 90th Street. These are the two arteries that cut travel time to most of New Cairo down to minutes.

The South Investors Area holds a particular position inside the Fifth Settlement. It is one of the earliest planned districts and among the most complete in terms of infrastructure, yet it still carries a lower population density than the North 90th neighborhoods, which makes it one of the calmest pockets in the settlement despite how central it is.

Proximity to the American University and the German University adds another dimension. It places the project inside a permanent demand pool for furnished and managed units , academics, international students and professionals working in the offices around the 90th Street corridor.

That demand maps directly onto the type of serviced units Blanks offers.

The area around the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and the South Investors district is one of the most densely developed pockets in the Fifth Settlement. That works in the buyer’s favor, since it allows a direct comparison between projects with similar sizes, prices and payment plans before committing.

These are the closest developments to Blanks:

• Ivoire East Compound: One of the nearest projects to the Blanks site, offering apartments across a range of sizes inside a fully serviced gated community.
• Hyde Park Terraces: Part of the wider Hyde Park development in the Fifth Settlement, known for its extensive green areas and a unit mix that runs from apartments to villas.

Blanks Compound Unit Types, Sizes and Prices

Blanks offers a single residential product  the serviced hotel apartment , but distributes it across three tiers based on bedroom count and the unit’s position within the building.

Ground-floor units carry a different price from their upper-floor equivalents despite similar sizes, because they open directly onto the surrounding landscape.

The highest recorded price inside the project reaches EGP 12,120,900 for a 78 sqm ground-floor unit with a direct landscape view, while entry pricing starts at EGP 7,026,800 for the smallest unit.

Dividing price by size, the price per meter at Blanks ranges between EGP 100,000 per sqm in the two-bedroom apartments and EGP 128,000 per sqm in the smaller units, then climbs to roughly EGP 155,000 per sqm in the premium ground-floor units ,a logical gap that reflects the value of direct garden access.

It is worth noting that these are installment prices, and that they move from one launch phase to the next. A direct call remains the only way to confirm the actual price of the units available today through the Blanks Compound hotline: ‎+201117880864

Blanks Compound Payment Plans

Manaj Developments has released three payment plans for Blanks units. The relationship between the down payment and the installment period moves in the same direction , the higher the down payment, the longer the payment window — which lets each buyer pick the structure that fits their liquidity:

A booking deposit of EGP 100,000 is paid at contract and deducted from the down payment, while the remaining balance is settled in equal installments across the selected period.

A maintenance deposit of 10% of the unit value is also added. It funds the operation and upkeep of the facilities and hospitality services inside the project, and it should be factored into the total cost before signing.

Blanks Compound Delivery Date

The developer has confirmed that Blanks units are delivered within 3 years of the contract date, with handover completing by 2029 ,a realistic timeline given the project’s contained scale and unit count.

All units are handed over fully finished super lux, including a fitted kitchen, installed air conditioning units and complete interior finishing, which means the owner carries no additional finishing cost after delivery.

In a project like Blanks, that level of delivery is less a luxury than an operational necessity. A hotel management system cannot run to a consistent standard unless every unit comes out with the same specification and the same fit-out.

Blanks Compound Facilities and Services

What Blanks offers splits into two layers, The first is the hospitality operation that sets it apart from every other residential project in the Fifth Settlement.

The second is the standard set of facilities expected in any gated community.

• Hotel Services Managed by Swiss-Belhotel International

The 20-year agreement with Swiss-Belhotel International is the element that redefines what a unit means at Blanks. The group operates hotels and serviced apartments across dozens of countries, and brings those same operating standards into a fully residential project.

In practice, that agreement translates into tangible daily services: reception, room service and scheduled housekeeping, alongside a concierge desk that handles restaurant bookings, transport arrangements and resident requests. These are run by an on-site operations team, not by a conventional property management company.

For an owner who does not occupy the unit year-round, having a professional hotel operator on site means the apartment can be turned into an income-generating asset through short-stay rentals, without the owner carrying the burden of marketing, check-in or maintenance.

• Retail and Administrative Units Inside the Compound

Blanks does not stop at residential units. It includes a full retail zone hosting international brands, shops, restaurants, cafés and a food court, so that residents’ daily needs are covered inside the project’s own boundaries.

Space has also been allocated for administrative units, offices and meeting rooms, which serves remote workers and small business owners who prefer to keep home and work separate without leaving the compound.

Clubhouse, Padel Courts and Sports Tracks

Blanks New Cairo includes a clubhouse fitted with a modern gym and a spa, alongside multiple swimming pools of varying depths positioned directly beside the residential blocks.

Padel courts are among the project’s most notable sports additions, with fully equipped courts dedicated to the game, while jogging, walking and cycling tracks run alongside the green areas and the artificial lakes.

Why Live at Blanks Compound New Cairo

What distinguishes living at Blanks is not a set of vague claims about luxury. It comes down to specific design and operational decisions that can actually be measured:

• Low density inside each building: only 4 units per floor, and a height that never exceeds ground plus 4 floors, which cuts down the number of neighbors sharing an entrance and a lift.
• Ceiling heights of 3 meters: well above the Egyptian market norm, giving the apartments a sense of volume that their measured footprints would not otherwise suggest.
• More than 80% green space and facilities: the built-up ratio stays under 20% of the 8 acres, which means an open view onto landscape or water from most units.
• Move-in ready with no finishing cost: each unit arrives with a fitted kitchen, installed air conditioning and full super lux finishing.
• Daily service to hotel standards: reception, room service, concierge and housekeeping, managed by Swiss-Belhotel International.
• Central without the congestion: 3 minutes from the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and 5 minutes from AUC, inside a low-density district.

Why Invest in Blanks Compound New Cairo

Blanks differs from the residential projects around it in one important way: its expected return does not rest on traditional annual rent alone. It opens the door to a completely different operating model:

• Managed rental income with no effort from the owner: a hotel operator under a 20-year contract means the unit can be let on a short-stay basis, a model that typically yields more than an annual lease, with the operator handling marketing, check-in and maintenance.
• Rental demand anchored by location: proximity to AUC, the German University and the business corridor along 90th Street supplies a steady tenant base of academics, international students and corporate employees.
• Proven early demand: the first phase sold out entirely for EGP 2 billion, evidence that the market has absorbed the serviced apartment concept in the Fifth Settlement.
• Low barrier to entry: a down payment starting at 5% with installments running up to 12 years, which allows entry with limited liquidity relative to the unit value.
• Developer financial strength: the company’s capital stands at EGP 2 billion, with a land bank exceeding 60 acres valued at EGP 13 billion, while investment in Blanks alone reached EGP 7 billion.

Continued development around the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and the South Investors district adds a further push to resale value, as the area sees accelerating occupancy of delivered projects and a steady climb in price per meter.
