Raville New Cairo Compound by DMA Developments

Raville New Cairo Compound is built on the site of former military barracks in the North El Moshir area that has been fully repurposed, transforming the location into a fully integrated urban district centered around the first iconic tower outside the New Administrative Capital, standing 206 meters tall across 55 floors.

Behind the project stands the MDA Engineering Alliance (MDA Group), which brings together Mohamed Talaat Architects, Diaa Engineering Consultants, and EFFECT Group, in cooperation with the Armed Forces Engineering Authority, at a site located directly in front of the East Nile Monorail station.

Prices at Raville Compound start from EGP 15,330,000 per unit, with a down payment starting at just 10% and installment periods extending up to 8 years in equal installments.

The Meaning of the Name “Raville”

The name Raville is made up of two parts carrying a dual meaning: the first refers to luxury and renewal, while the second draws on the French word “ville,” meaning city or town.

This naming isn’t a marketing choice — the project isn’t a gated residential compound in the traditional sense, but a complete urban district that includes residential, administrative, commercial, entertainment, and hospitality zones, a medical complex, and its own internal road network.

In other words, the name literally reflects what Raville Compound delivers on the ground: a self-contained miniature city within the boundaries of New Cairo, not merely a cluster of buildings.

Detailed Overview of Raville Compound

Raville’s story begins with the land itself, as the project was built on camps and barracks belonging to the Armed Forces in the North El Moshir area, as part of the state’s push to repurpose military assets within the urban fabric and convert them into development and investment projects.

This origin explains the sheer scale of land available to the developer, since a connected plot of this size is rarely available within the boundaries of New Cairo, allowing for the planning of a complete district rather than a single project squeezed between others.

Design was handled by the MDA Engineering Alliance, a consulting alliance bringing together three Egyptian engineering entities, with Mohamed Talaat Architects (MTA) leading the architectural vision, while Diaa Engineering Consultants and EFFECT Group contribute to the consulting work, with execution carried out in cooperation with the Armed Forces Engineering Authority.

The standout element of the master plan is the Raville Iconic Tower, located within a central garden at the heart of the entire project, rising 206 meters across 55 floors to become the first iconic tower built outside the New Administrative Capital.

The tower is designed in the shape of a Pharaonic obelisk topped with a pyramidal peak, with another pyramid at its entrance, drawing inspiration from ancient Egyptian architecture. It includes administrative and commercial units alongside a panoramic restaurant on its upper floors overlooking the whole of eastern Cairo.

The residential planning is based on dividing the land into smaller neighborhoods, each with its own nearby daily services — an approach that prevents residents from clustering around a single commercial area and distributes density across the project.

Part of the plan was allocated to luxury housing on 219 acres, alongside 85 acres for premium housing and 37 acres for the villa zone, while 44 acres went to the hospitality zone and a similar area to commercial and entertainment units.

A further 40 acres was set aside for an integrated medical complex and 33 acres for a second commercial and entertainment zone, with 9 acres for the services area, while open spaces, landscaping, and the internal road network occupy the remainder of the land.

At the unit level, the design separates the bedroom wing from the reception areas within a single apartment to preserve family privacy when receiving guests, with wide windows that let in natural light and reveal the surrounding landscape.

The facades feature calm colors and simple lines that avoid visual clutter, with careful spacing between buildings to prevent units from overlooking one another and to preserve the quiet of each neighborhood on its own.

The project’s internal road network is currently under construction in parallel with the tower’s structural work — an approach that reflects a city-building methodology starting with infrastructure before units, rather than the other way around.

Location of Raville Compound

Raville Compound occupies a strategic spot in the North El Moshir area of eastern Cairo, specifically within the zone bounded by the Ring Road, El Moshir Mohamed Ali Fahmy Axis, and El Moshir Tantawy Axis, giving the project three frontages onto major axes instead of just one.

This positioning places the project at the meeting point between New Cairo, Nasr City, and the New Administrative Capital, allowing residents to reach any of the three destinations without passing through congested areas — which explains much of the land’s value at this particular spot.

New Cairo today represents the largest cluster of upscale residential projects east of Cairo, and the completion of the surrounding network of axes in recent years has helped push up unit values at a pace faster than the market average.

The most distinctive advantage of the location is that the project sits directly in front of the El Moshir Tantawy Monorail station, one of the stations on the East Nile Monorail line, which stretches 56.5 kilometers and includes 22 stations running from Al Estad Station in Nasr City to Al Adala City in the New Administrative Capital.

The line is being built by a global consortium led by France’s Alstom, with the participation of Orascom and Arab Contractors, running at an operating speed of up to 80 km/h with a capacity of nearly 600,000 passengers per day — meaning a fast mass transit option sits just steps from the project’s gate.

Alongside the monorail, the project benefits from its proximity to the Egypt International Exhibition Center, a venue that hosts the largest exhibitions and events in Egypt and draws steady traffic to the surrounding area year-round.

The surrounding axes also place the project a short distance from the American University and 90th Street, alongside easy access to the Suez Road heading north toward Heliopolis and the airport — a variety of traffic routes that reduces reliance on a single path during peak hours.

Landmarks and Places Near Raville Compound

Compounds Near Raville Compound

Raville Compound is neighbored by a number of residential projects that share its proximity to the main axes of eastern Cairo, differing from it in scale, price range, and payment systems.

Sarai Compound is the closest project to Raville in scale, spanning 1,250 acres developed by Madinet Masr, and stands out with a no-down-payment system and installments of up to 12 years.

Al Marasem Fifth Square Compound sits in Golden Square on 158 acres, offering apartments, villas, and Rotana-managed hotel apartments with prices starting from EGP 5,800,000.

On 100 acres, Creek Town Compound by Al Kazar Real Estate Development offers a 11% down payment and installments over 10 years.

Unit Types, Areas, and Prices at Raville Compound

The developer made a deliberate decision to move away from the small units and studios dominating new launches, directing the entire project toward large families looking for interior space equivalent to that of a villa.

As a result, residential unit areas start from 219 m², a high starting point compared to the market average in the area, with units featuring private gardens available alongside standalone villas in their dedicated zone.

The price per meter at Raville Compound starts from EGP 70,000/m², and multiplying this figure by the smallest available area brings the total unit price to EGP 15,330,000 as a starting point.

It’s worth noting that the prices mentioned are installment prices, not cash prices, and they vary upward depending on the building’s location within the project and the unit’s proximity to the central garden and the iconic tower.

Payment and Installment Systems at Raville Compound

The developer adopted a single, clear payment system instead of multiple packages: a low down payment with the longest possible installment period, which lowers the monthly installment value enough to make the unit accessible to a wider segment despite the high total price.

Calculating the remaining amount over the full installment period, the average monthly installment for the smallest unit comes to around EGP 143,700, a figure that naturally changes with the unit’s area and total price.

The reservation deposit, cash discount, and current offers vary from one launch phase to another. To find out the currently active package, contact the Raville Compound sales number: ‎+201118183030

Delivery Dates at Raville Compound

The project is currently under construction, with structural work on the iconic tower underway in parallel with the execution of the internal road network serving the residential neighborhoods — the infrastructure that precedes unit delivery.

Available data on the project indicates that the timeline for completing the main components extends through 2030, with delivery taking place in phases according to the progress of work in each residential neighborhood individually.

The finishing level matches the category of units on offer and their large areas, with ceiling heights ranging between 3 and 3.2 meters, giving the units a greater sense of interior spaciousness.

Services and Facilities at Raville Compound

Because Raville Compound is planned as a complete district rather than a standalone compound, its services network is closer to that of a miniature city, including components not usually found within traditional residential projects.

The Raville Iconic Tower and Central Garden

At the heart of the project stands a tower rising 206 meters across 55 floors, designed in the shape of a Pharaonic obelisk with a pyramidal peak and a pyramid at the entrance, making it the first iconic tower built outside the boundaries of the New Administrative Capital.

The tower includes administrative and commercial units, with a panoramic restaurant occupying its upper floors with an open view over eastern Cairo, while the tower sits entirely within a central garden at the heart of the project, serving as an open core for all the surrounding neighborhoods.

The 40-Acre Medical Complex

The master plan allocated a full 40 acres to an integrated medical complex within the project’s boundaries, an area larger than the total footprint of many residential compounds in New Cairo.

This component means medical service within Raville Compound won’t be limited to small clinics serving residents, but will form a medical center serving the entire surrounding area — a factor that raises the value of the units and ensures steady traffic to the commercial area.

The Hospitality and Commercial Zone

44 acres was allocated to the hospitality component within Raville Compound, alongside 44 acres for commercial and entertainment units and 33 acres for a second commercial and entertainment zone distributed on another side of the plan.

Spreading the two commercial zones across two separate locations instead of grouping them at a single point serves a clear planning goal: shortening the distance between each residential neighborhood and its nearest service center, and preventing traffic congestion in a single direction.

Core Services at Raville Compound

Advantages of Living at Raville Compound

The first thing that sets living at Raville apart is having a monorail station directly in front of the project — an advantage that’s nearly unique among eastern Cairo compounds, allowing access to Nasr City or the Administrative Capital without relying on a car.

Next comes the unit size itself: with areas starting from 219 m², even the smallest apartment in the project exceeds the average size of apartments offered in the area, with an internal layout separating the bedroom wing from the reception area.

Ceiling heights between 3 and 3.2 meters also give the units a sense of vertical spaciousness alongside horizontal space, while wide windows allow longer natural light throughout the day and reveal the surrounding landscape instead of facing units.

Finally, having a medical complex on 40 acres along with two commercial zones and a hospitality zone within the project’s boundaries means genuine service self-sufficiency, so residents don’t need to leave the district to meet their daily needs.

Investment Advantages at Raville Compound

The first investment factor is the monorail station — real estate experience has shown that properties within walking distance of rapid mass transit stations achieve higher value growth than those farther away, and the East Nile line, with its capacity of nearly 600,000 passengers a day, represents a major artery rather than a secondary line.

The second factor is the scarcity of supply in the large-area segment. The market’s shift in recent years toward small units has left a clear gap in the segment above 200 m² — the exact segment Raville Compound targets entirely, making resale easier due to the shortage of competing alternatives.

The third factor is the iconic tower itself. Having an urban landmark 206 meters tall within Raville Compound gives the address a symbolic value that’s directly reflected in the prices of the surrounding units, especially those overlooking the central garden.

The fourth factor is the payment system: the 10% down payment allows entry with just EGP 1,533,000 to reserve a real estate asset worth more than EGP 15,000,000, which maximizes the return on invested capital in the case of resale before full payment is complete.

About the MDA Engineering Alliance

Behind the project stands the MDA Engineering Alliance (MDA Group), a consulting and development entity bringing together three Egyptian engineering firms under one umbrella instead of relying on an external consultant.

The alliance includes Mohamed Talaat Architects (MTA), headed by Dr. Eng. Mohamed Talaat, alongside Diaa Engineering Consultants and EFFECT Engineering Consultants Group, with the group also counting Eng. Diaa El Din Ibrahim and Eng. Ayman Afifi among its principals.

The company works across architectural design, interior and exterior design, and contracting, making Raville a project where the same entity handles design, supervision, and development, reducing the gap between architectural vision and execution on the ground.

Work is being carried out in cooperation with the Armed Forces Engineering Authority, which explains the nature of the land the project was built on as a former military camp site, and adds an extra layer of confidence regarding construction seriousness and adherence to timelines.
