Swan Lake Residence New Cairo spans 460 acres, divided into 12 gated residential neighborhoods, each with its own private entrance opening directly onto Suez Road in the First Settlement of New Cairo.
The project was developed by Hassan Allam Properties in collaboration with Callison RTKL for the master plan and Cracknell for the landscape design. As a result, 82% of the total land area is dedicated to green spaces and amenities, while buildings occupy only 18%.
Installment prices start from EGP 13,100,000, with a minimum down payment of 5% and payment plans of up to 10 years, in addition to cash discounts of up to 29% in selected phases.
The name Swan Lake refers to the project’s most distinctive feature: the lakes and water features spread throughout the residential neighborhoods, forming the visual centerpiece of the entire landscape.
Hassan Allam Properties selected the name as a recurring brand across its portfolio, as it is also used for its developments in Katameya, the North Coast, and 6th of October City, making Swan Lake a residential identity for the company rather than the name of a single standalone project.
Detailed Overview of Swan Lake Residence
The concept behind the project is simple in theory yet complex in execution: every resident lives within a small gated neighborhood with its own entrance and unique identity while still enjoying the advantages of a large integrated community that smaller developments cannot provide.
For this reason, the project was divided into 12 separate residential neighborhoods instead of one continuous district. Each neighborhood has its own architectural style and private gate opening onto Suez Road, reducing congestion at entrances and preventing heavy traffic inside the internal streets.
Callison RTKL, one of the world’s leading urban planning and mixed-use design firms, prepared the project’s master plan, overseeing the distribution of neighborhoods, facility locations, road network, and infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Cracknell, the internationally renowned landscape architecture firm, designed the gardens, lakes, walking trails, seating areas, and children’s play zones, transforming the open spaces into an environment that naturally encourages walking and jogging.
One of the most remarkable outcomes of this collaboration is the commercial promenade extending for 1.4 km with a width of 30 meters. Inspired by the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Rodeo Drive in California, its ground floors feature restaurants, cafés, and retail outlets, while the upper floors accommodate premium office spaces.
In addition, a green spine covering 22 acres stretches from one end of the development to the other. Amenities are repeated every 100 to 200 meters, including jogging tracks, children’s areas, reading spaces, and outdoor fitness zones, all centered around a 4.2-acre central park.
The exterior architecture follows a contemporary modern style with decorative façade details, while the internal streets are designed with curves and loops instead of straight lines—a planning approach that naturally slows vehicle traffic and creates safer, quieter residential streets.
Swan Lake Residence Phases & Sales Status
The 12 neighborhoods were launched over several years in successive phases, with each offering its own architectural character and unit mix. Most villa phases have sold out from the developer, while apartment phases still offer units available for booking:

The Phoenix is the newest apartment phase, featuring buildings overlooking 360 acres of villas and landscaped greenery. Each floor contains only a limited number of units to maximize privacy, with apartment sizes ranging from 93 to 175 sqm, while penthouses reach up to 339 sqm.
The Selina extends across 141,984 sqm, equivalent to approximately 34 acres, and comprises 180 units distributed across four zones connected by green walkways surrounding the central park. Built-up areas start from 230 sqm, while plot sizes reach 405 sqm.
Every differs from the other neighborhoods as it is not residential. It extends over 161,000 sqm and includes Every Mall along with approximately 190,000 sqm of office spaces overlooking the promenade, giving the project its own independent economic hub.
The Iris consists of only 10 residential buildings with distinctive façades and a strong emphasis on open spaces between buildings, while Scarlet represents the project’s most luxurious villa phase in terms of both unit sizes and pricing.

The project is located in the First Settlement, in the heart of New Cairo, directly on Suez Road, after Mirage City and opposite Al Rehab City. It is also bordered by Madinaty and El Shorouk City to the north.
What makes this location particularly attractive is that it sits on the western edge of New Cairo, making it the closest point to Old Cairo, Heliopolis, and Cairo International Airport while remaining within New Cairo’s fully integrated service area.
The compound is adjacent to Al Banafseg and Al Yasmeen districts, two well-established neighborhoods with fully developed services. It also enjoys direct access to Mostafa Kamel Axis and the Ring Road, which connects seamlessly to the Regional Ring Road leading to the New Administrative Capital and Ain Sokhna.
The First Settlement is one of the oldest and most established districts in New Cairo, offering a mature infrastructure with schools, medical centers, and retail destinations already in place. This means Swan Lake residents enjoy a fully developed neighborhood without waiting for the surrounding area to mature.
The area is served by a strong educational network that includes Cairo English School, the American University in Cairo, and Future University in Egypt, in addition to Downtown Mall and Cairo Festival City Mall, all within a short drive, providing everything families need without the congestion of central Cairo.

Nearby Compounds to Swan Lake Residence
The area surrounding Suez Road and the First Settlement features several residential developments that share Swan Lake Residence’s proximity to Cairo International Airport and the Ring Road while offering different land sizes and price ranges.
Below are some of the closest alternatives worth comparing:
Mayan Compound: The closest project to Swan Lake geographically, located on Old Suez Road beside the American University and adjacent to Al Rehab City, offering a diverse selection of residential units.
Taj City Compound: Shares the same prime frontage on Suez Road and close proximity to Cairo International Airport, with payment plans starting from a 5% down payment and installments over 8 years.
Sarayat El Katameya Compound: A smaller development than Swan Lake Residence, spanning 30 acres near the Ring Road, ideal for buyers seeking a lower-density community instead of a mega compound.
Hyde Park Compound: Located in the Fifth Settlement, offering smaller units starting from 75 sqm, making it a suitable alternative for buyers seeking a similar level of services with a lower budget than Swan Lake Residence.

Units are distributed between apartment neighborhoods and villa neighborhoods. Phases such as The Phoenix and The Iris consist exclusively of apartment buildings, while The Giselle, The Selina, and Scarlet are dedicated to villas and twin houses.

Based on the unit area, the price per square meter ranges between 123,000 and EGP 154,000. The lower end generally applies to townhouses and villas, while the higher end is found in modern two-bedroom apartments.
This price variation is mainly because villas are delivered in a core & shell finish and their land area is included in the total price, while apartments are delivered semi finished in low-rise, low-density buildings, resulting in a higher built-up cost per square meter.
Prices also vary within the same unit type depending on the floor level, the unit’s position within the building, and its view. Units overlooking the lakes or the central park command a noticeable premium compared to inward-facing units of the same size.

Facilities & Amenities at Swan Lake Residence
Swan Lake Residence offers a wide range of amenities and services, including the following:
1.4 km Commercial Promenade
One of the project’s most distinctive features is its 1.4 km-long commercial promenade with a width of 30 meters. Rather than being an enclosed shopping mall, it is designed as an open-air retail street inspired by the Champs-Élysées and Rodeo Drive.
The ground floors accommodate restaurants, cafés, and retail stores, while the upper levels feature premium office spaces, transforming the promenade into a vibrant daily destination for residents instead of requiring them to leave the compound.
KODE Sports Club Spanning 80,000 sqm
The compound features the integrated KODE Sports Club, covering an impressive 80,000 sqm, making it one of the largest private sports clubs within First Settlement developments.
The club includes professional sports academies, football, basketball, and tennis courts, a fully equipped gym, as well as a wellness center featuring a spa, sauna, and jacuzzi. More than just a sports facility, it serves as a vibrant social hub for Swan Lake Residence residents.
22-Feddan Green Spine
A continuous 22-acre green spine runs through the heart of the community, acting as the project’s main recreational corridor. Amenities are distributed every 100 to 200 meters, ensuring that residents are always within walking distance of key facilities.

Advantages of Living at Swan Lake Residence
Living at Swan Lake Residence offers a combination of strategic location, low-density planning, and premium lifestyle amenities, including:
Just 8 minutes from Cairo International Airport: A rare advantage among New Cairo communities, especially for frequent travelers.
Low residential density: Buildings occupy only 18% of the project’s 460-acre master plan, making it one of the least densely built developments in First Settlement.
Independent gated neighborhoods: The master plan consists of 12 separate gated districts, each with its own entrance directly connected to Suez Road, ensuring greater privacy and smoother traffic circulation.
Facilities within walking distance: With amenities repeated every 100–200 meters along the green spine, residents can easily access playgrounds, open gyms, and recreational spaces without driving.
Landscape designed by Cracknell: One of the world’s leading landscape architecture firms created the project’s outdoor environment, reflected in its pedestrian-friendly layout, lakes, and open spaces.
Investment Advantages of Swan Lake Residence
Swan Lake Residence also represents a compelling investment opportunity for several reasons:
Limited land supply in First Settlement: The surrounding area is already fully developed, leaving very few large plots available for future projects, which supports long-term property appreciation.
Only 5% down payment on homes starting from EGP 13,100,000: Initial booking amounts start from approximately EGP 655,000, offering an accessible entry point compared to the property’s overall value.
Multiple sold-out phases: Neighborhoods such as Giselle, Selina, Scarlet, and Iris have completely sold out from the developer and are now available only through resale, reflecting strong market demand.
Cash discount of up to 29%: Buyers paying in cash can benefit from substantial savings, creating stronger resale potential in the future.
An integrated commercial and business component: The commercial promenade and OFFICE PARK create sustainable rental demand from businesses, restaurants, and offices, not just residential occupants.
