The Islands Compound by EGYGAB Developments

The Islands New Capital (كمبوند ذا ايلاند العاصمة الإدارية) is the latest launch by EGYGAB Developments in the heart of the Eighth Residential District R8 – Plot L2, with a direct view over the Green River and just steps away from the five-star hotels zone, the Central Park, and the Diplomatic District.

The project spans 35 acres divided into four residential islands, designed by the American firm SGA Designs, where every unit is a corner unit and the average distance between buildings reaches 95 meters. Prices start from EGP 5,500,000 with a 5% down payment and installments of up to 12 years, across a unit mix of apartments, duplexes, and townhouses starting from 125 sqm.

The Meaning Behind the Name The Islands

EGYGAB chose the name The Islands to reflect the core design philosophy of the project, as the compound is split into four separate residential islands surrounded by artificial lakes and green spaces on every side, so each resident feels as if living on a private island away from the city’s noise. Every island carries its own distinct design character, with internal pathways and water features connecting them, creating a sense of complete privacy without isolation from the wider community.

Detailed Overview of The Islands Project

The philosophy of The Islands New Capital stems from blending the natural calm of islands with the urban vitality of the New Capital, expressed through dividing the land into four harmonious islands separated by crystal lagoons, fountains, and landscaped walkways, while the buildings are designed as cascading terraces so that 85% of the units enjoy a direct view of the water features and green spaces.

EGYGAB partnered with the American office SGA Designs – founded in 1995 with a global track record in architectural design – to shape the exteriors in a modern style that blends wide glass facades with wooden accents and soft light tones, while collaborating with the consultancy AECOM on the additional engineering works, and Eng. Shirine Gaballah supervised the overall master plan, ensuring a balanced distribution of buildings, services, and water features.

In terms of layout, the project is designed so that all units are corner units overlooking three streets, with more than 7 acres dedicated to green spaces, lakes, fountains, and landscaping out of the total 35 acres, and the islands distributed so that a single island reaches nearly a full acre. EGYGAB also kept generous distances between the buildings, averaging 95 meters to enhance privacy, ventilation, and views, alongside a central services zone housing the club, the commercial area, and the mosque within a few minutes’ walk from any unit.

The location of The Islands in Plot L2 – one of the last available plots in R8 – grants the project a direct view over the Green River and the Central Park, while it neighbors the Diplomatic District, the Government District, and the five-star hotels zone directly, a positioning that lifted the investment value of the units from the very first day of launch and made the project a preferred destination for those seeking upscale living in the heart of the New Capital.

Services and Amenities in The Islands

Services in The Islands were designed so that every amenity sits within a few minutes’ walk from any residential unit, with a focus on unique water and green features that set the project apart in R8.

The Four Islands and the Crystal Lagoons

The concept of four separate islands is the most prominent architectural signature of The Islands, as the project is divided into four residential islands separated by crystal lagoons, fountains, and wide green spaces, while pedestrian and landscaped walkways shaded by natural trees connect them. Each island has its own design character with distinct facade colors and textures, overlooking the lakes from every direction, which grants 85% of the units a direct view of the water features and greenery.

The buildings were executed as cascading terraces to enhance the view for every floor, with all units designed as corner units and an average of 95 meters between buildings to prevent blocked sightlines and ensure the highest levels of privacy. This layout gives each resident the feeling of living in a small community within a larger one, complete with its own gardens, play areas, and walkways.

The Club, Clubhouse, and Commercial Mall

The Islands features a fully integrated clubhouse on a two-acre area, combining sports and social activities, with a sauna, jacuzzi, spa, and a gym equipped with the latest machines, alongside football, tennis, and padel courts, swimming pools, and a kids’ area. The project also dedicates a commercial mall on one and a half acres housing restaurants, cafes, shops, and pharmacies, in addition to dedicated tracks for walking, jogging, and cycling amid the green spaces.

Essential Services in The Islands

Living Advantages in The Islands

The Islands combines genuine advantages backed by real data that make it one of the standout living choices in R8:

• More than 7 green and water acres: over 7 acres of the total 35 acres are dedicated to landscaping, lakes, fountains, and green spaces.

• Longest installments in R8: the 12-year installment plan with a 5% down payment is among the longest available in the Eighth Residential District.
• Close to the Capital Airport: only 20 minutes separate the compound from the New Capital Airport, a practical advantage for businesspeople and investors.

Investment Advantages in The Islands

• Located in one of the last available plots in R8: Plot L2 is among the last residential plots available in the Eighth Residential District, making the project’s units rare in terms of location and likely candidates for strong price appreciation as the district’s infrastructure matures.
• High rental yield: proximity to the Diplomatic and Government Districts makes the units sought after by government employees and diplomats, raising the expected rental yield of the residential units.
• Payment flexibility up to 12 years: a 5% down payment and installments up to 12 years lower the entry barrier to investment and allow holding the unit until its value rises before selling.
• Cash discount up to 30%: for those paying upfront, the client receives a substantial discount that lowers the effective price per meter to nearly EGP 31,000/sqm, an exceptional figure in the Capital’s upscale areas.
• A developer reputation spanning nearly 48 years: EGYGAB was founded in 1977 and has 9 major projects, six of which are already delivered and operating across New Cairo, the North Coast, and Shorouk.

The New Administrative Capital is a fourth-generation city that has seen a continuous rise in prices since work began, especially in R8 thanks to the completion of the monorail network and main roads, which places The Islands at the forefront of promising investment opportunities.
