Shababeek New Cairo marks the first residential venture launched by Marquee Developments inside the Egyptian market, set within the North House district in the heart of the Fifth Settlement.
The project draws its name from the Arabic word for windows, reflecting a design philosophy in which every window opens onto greenery or water rather than onto a neighbouring wall.
Marquee brought in a team of specialist architectural and landscape consultants to shape a European-styled residential community positioned just minutes away from North Ninety Street and Suez Road.
Unit prices start from EGP 3,200,000, with a down payment starting at 10%, instalment plans extending up to 10 years, and delivery scheduled for 2027.
The name Shababeek translates from Arabic as windows, and it captures the single idea that shaped the entire masterplan.
Marquee set a clear rule early in the design process: every window in every unit should look out onto a green space or a water feature, without exception.
From that rule the name emerged, turning each window into a framed natural view rather than a plain opening.
The idea extends beyond aesthetics into how the buildings sit relative to one another.
Blocks are angled and spaced so that sightlines never cross between units, which gives each resident full visual privacy alongside an open outlook.
The result is a quieter interior atmosphere and a stronger sense of space, even in the smaller unit types.
A Detailed Overview of Shababeek New Cairo
Marquee Developments chose the North House district of the Fifth Settlement as its entry point into the Egyptian market, and the reasoning behind that choice is straightforward.
The district sits close to the main road network serving New Cairo, it is surrounded by established service facilities, and it has been among the fastest growing pockets of the city in both construction activity and investment interest over recent years.
Location alone was not the deciding factor. The developer built the project around a design approach that balances a sense of luxury with genuine calm, settling on a European architectural style that blends classical proportions with contemporary detailing.
The facades avoid heavy ornamentation in favour of clean lines and warm materials, giving the community a consistent visual identity from the entrance gates through to the innermost blocks.
The engineering work was distributed across specialists rather than handled by a single office.
Engineer Mohamed Talaat led the architectural design of the project, while Engineer Moharram Bakhoum supervised the executive side, drawing on his track record in delivering large-scale developments.
Landscape design was handled by Oco Plan, whose brief was to turn the open areas into a coherent natural composition that wraps around the buildings rather than sitting alongside them.
Shababeek comprises 24 residential buildings distributed along wide internal streets that keep circulation easy throughout the community.
Each building rises to a ground floor plus five repeated floors, a deliberately restrained height that preserves the low-density character of the project and allows a generous ratio between built mass and open landscape.
The overwhelming majority of the total land area has been dedicated to greenery and water features, while buildings and the service zone occupy the smaller share, a distribution that gives every unit an open outlook and reinforces the feeling of spaciousness.
The masterplan groups the buildings into residential clusters separated by green corridors and pedestrian walkways.
This reduces traffic movement within each cluster and gives residents a sense of belonging to a smaller, quieter neighbourhood inside the wider community.
Main gates are equipped with electronic access control to regulate entry and exit and prevent congestion at peak hours, supported by an internal road network wide enough to keep access to units and facilities straightforward.
Unit types across the project were selected to cover a broad range of household needs, beginning with practical studios suited to individuals, moving through apartments in graduated sizes that work for families of different sizes, and ending with duplexes that combine generous floor area with the layout of a private home across two levels.
A full package of facilities and services completes the picture, turning the compound into a self-contained community that covers daily needs without residents having to leave the gates.

Shababeek occupies a plot in the North House district of the Fifth Settlement, one of the more active residential pockets of New Cairo.
The area benefits from direct proximity to the main roads and axes that connect it to the rest of Greater Cairo within a short drive, which is a large part of why Marquee selected it.
The site manages to combine the quiet of a residential neighbourhood with straightforward access to the commercial and service destinations surrounding it.
North House sits close to several major shopping malls, accredited educational institutions, medical centres and places of worship, which makes it a practical environment for family living rather than simply a well-located address.
You can explore a wider set of options across New Cairo projects spanning different districts and price brackets.
The project also draws on the surrounding road network that links the Fifth Settlement with Heliopolis, Nasr City and the New Administrative Capital, which keeps daily commuting to workplaces, universities and commercial centres manageable.
Proximity to North Ninety Street adds a further practical layer, since the street carries a dense concentration of malls, restaurants and administrative offices that residents tend to use regularly.

Marquee Developments has scheduled the delivery of Shababeek units for 2027, working to the announced timeline for each construction phase.
Units are handed over fully finished, which gives buyers a ready home that reflects the architectural and design standard set across the project, removing the cost and time normally associated with finishing works.
This clear timeline gives buyers a dependable basis for planning, whether the purchase is intended for personal residence or for investment.
It allows a household to plan its move in advance, or an investor to prepare the unit for the rental market immediately after handover.
The commitment to full finishing also reflects the developer’s intent to deliver units that match the material and design quality promised at the point of sale.
Facilities and Services in Shababeek
Shababeek provides an integrated package of facilities designed to cover both the daily needs and the leisure requirements of residents inside the compound.
These divide between distinctive facilities that set the project apart and the essential services that any community of this scale requires.
A 5,000 m² Clubhouse and Health Club
The project includes a clubhouse and health club spanning 5,000 square metres, bringing sporting, social and recreational facilities together under one roof.
The club creates a natural setting for both relaxation and activity, strengthening social connection between residents and adding a genuine leisure dimension to living in the compound.
It also incorporates dedicated spaces for social occasions and events, which positions it as the main gathering point within the community across different age groups.
A 13,000 m² Commercial District
A commercial district covering 13,000 square metres has been allocated within the project, housing a range of shops carrying local and international brands alongside restaurants, cafés and a full supermarket.
This places daily necessities a short walk from each unit, saving residents time and effort and allowing the compound to function as a self-sufficient community rather than one dependent on external malls for routine errands.
Smart Management Through a Mobile Application
The compound operates a smart management system through a dedicated mobile application that gives residents access to community services and lets them manage their requests directly, covering maintenance, security and general community matters.
The system reflects the project’s broader intent to integrate technology into daily living in a way that removes friction.
It also opens a direct channel between residents and the compound management for tracking requests and responding to them promptly.
Essential Services in Shababeek
Alongside the distinctive facilities above, the project provides a full range of essential services summarised in the table below:
Shababeek brings together a set of tangible advantages that make it a practical choice for family living, the most significant being:
A central location: minutes from North Ninety Street and Suez Road, with access to the Mohamed Naguib Axis and the Ring Road within roughly 5 to 11 minutes.
Dominance of green space: greenery and water features occupy the larger share of the project area, which guarantees an open outlook for every unit and keeps building density low.
The open-view concept: every window has been positioned to face a natural view, delivering visual privacy and a calmer living environment.
Extensive leisure facilities: a 5,000 m² clubhouse and a 13,000 m² commercial district that cover residents’ needs without leaving the compound.
European design under specialist supervision: architectural plans by Eng. Mohamed Talaat with landscape design by Oco Plan, giving the project a consistent visual character.
Full finishing: units are delivered completely finished, saving buyers the time and cost of finishing works and allowing immediate occupation or leasing after handover.
Investment Advantages in Shababeek
Shababeek presents a compelling investment case within the North House district, supported by several factors grounded in actual market data:
Price growth in the district: price per metre across North House has recorded annual growth ranging between 18% and 22% in recent years, driven by proximity to the main axes and rising demand for newer residential stock.
Expected rental yield: average annual rental yields in the Fifth Settlement range between 6% and 8%, which makes a unit here a stable income source when leased.
Low entry with extended terms: a down payment starting at 10% with instalments reaching 10 years reduces the initial capital requirement and spreads the value over a comfortable horizon.
A location that supports demand: proximity to the New Administrative Capital, the American University and the major malls strengthens the appeal of these units for both rental and future resale.
