Palm Hills New Cairo — An Integrated Compound in New Cairo
A 500-feddan Palm Hills community in New Cairo, bringing homes, sport, education and retail into one address
Living at Palm Hills New Cairo is different from a project built around residential units alone. The compound includes an international school, a sports club, a commercial area and medical services, and real community life has already begun in its first phases. The project spans 500 feddans in New Cairo, of which 400 feddans are residential and 100 feddans are for commercial and service activities.
Within the project, Palm Hills Developments offers apartments, penthouses and duplexes, along with townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas. Prices for the units currently on offer start from around EGP 10.29 million, while the Palm Hills Cleo phase offers a plan with a 3% down payment and escalating instalments of up to ten years.
Palm Hills New Cairo Location
Palm Hills New Cairo compound sits in the eastern part of the 5th Settlement, close to the Regional Ring Road, the Suez Road and the 90th Street. This gives residents more than one route to the project, whether from New Cairo neighbourhoods, the New Administrative Capital or East Cairo. Instead of searching for the Palm Hills postal code, ask the sales team for the full address and directions to the compound.
Approximate distances from the project to several key destinations:
- About 17 kilometres from the German University in Cairo.
- Around 26 kilometres from the American University in Cairo.
- About 32 kilometres from the New Administrative Capital.
- Roughly 36 kilometres from Cairo International Airport.
- Around 41 kilometres from the Capital International Airport.
- Less than 20 minutes, approximately, from Al Rehab City, depending on the route taken.

How is the space of Palm Hills New Cairo laid out?
The master plan treats the project as a set of connected neighbourhoods rather than a single cluster of buildings. Each neighbourhood has its own green spaces and social areas, while walkways and internal roads link the neighbourhoods to the club, the school and the commercial area.
Open areas and gardens take up the largest share of the land, while buildings occupy around 20% of the project site. This reduces crowding in front of the apartment buildings and villas and leaves more comfortable distances between homes.
The main land uses break down as follows:
- 400 residential feddans: apartments, houses, villas and neighbourhood facilities.
- 100 commercial and service feddans: commercial, administrative, educational, medical and sports activities.
- Central spaces for gardens, pedestrian paths and community activities.
- Internal roads that connect the residential areas to the entrances without routing main traffic between the units.
- Areas set aside for the sports club, the school and commercial services.
Architecture and Interior Spaces
The project does not follow a single design for all units. Apartment building façades differ from those of standalone houses, and layouts change by phase and unit size. What they share is a focus on natural light, terraces, and a clear separation between bedrooms and reception areas.
In the apartments, the design focuses on making the most of the living space and connecting it to the terrace, with ground-floor options with gardens and roof penthouses. The villas spread their rooms over more than one floor, with separate reception and service areas, plus a garden and car parking.
Phases and Areas of Palm Hills New Cairo
The project includes a number of residential areas that differ in unit type, delivery dates and finishing level. The most prominent names associated with it are:
Cleo
Cleo Palm Hills New Cairo offers fully finished apartments in layouts from one bedroom up to three bedrooms, along with penthouse units. The phase benefits from a long payment plan of up to ten years, with deliveries ranging between 2027 and 2030 depending on the building and unit.
Cleo speaks to buyers who prefer a new, fully finished apartment in a community whose services are already running, rather than buying a unit that needs finishing work after handover.
Cleo Water Residences
Cleo Water Residences units are tied to open views and water features within the residential area, with ground-floor apartments with gardens, repeated floors and a penthouse.
Villa Neighbourhoods
The villa areas include townhouses, twin houses and standalone houses in a range of sizes. The neighbourhoods differ in how close they are to the club, the commercial area and the entrances, and some units have already been delivered while others are tied to future dates.
Palmet
Palmet New Cairo is the commercial and administrative area within the project, with offices, services, shops, restaurants and cafés.
The Quarry
The Quarry was designed as a social and leisure area combining green spaces, water features, seating areas and activities.
Palm Hills New Cairo Apartments
The residential units include studios, apartments, penthouses and duplexes, with areas that vary between the older phases and the new offerings.
The Cleo phase offers models starting roughly from:
- One-bedroom apartments of around 70 m².
- Two-bedroom apartments from about 115 to 140 m².
- Three-bedroom apartments of around 154 m².
- Three-bedroom apartments with a maid's room of about 173 m².
- A penthouse of up to 200 m², plus part of the roof terrace.
The earlier buildings in the project have larger areas: apartments in some A3 buildings range from 150 to 258 m², while B3 units range from about 159 to 206 m².
Townhouses for Sale in Palm Hills New Cairo
The townhouse is a middle ground between the apartment and the standalone villa, offering a private entrance and garden at a lower price and size than a large villa. Some models have a built-up area of about 226 m², on a plot ranging from 203 to 250 m², with a penthouse of up to about 56 m².
Both middle and corner houses are available. The corner house is usually more open thanks to its side façade and larger garden, while the middle house keeps roughly the same internal layout at a lower cost.
Price brackets for some townhouse units start from around EGP 27 million.
Twin House in Palm Hills New Cairo
A twin house consists of two connected homes, each with its own entrance and private garden. Some units have a built-up area of about 298.5 m², on a plot averaging 380 m², while earlier models have a built-up area of around 299 m² on a plot of about 338 m².
This type offers more independence than a townhouse, usually at a lower cost than a detached villa of the same specifications. Prices for some twin house units start from around EGP 40.48 million.
Palm Hills Villas in the 5th Settlement
The standalone villas include models ranging from mid-sized family homes to large villas on spacious plots. Notable models in the project include:
- Villas with a built-up area of around 254.5 m² on a plot of about 295 m².
- Villas of medium and large sizes that vary by residential neighbourhood.
- A large model with a built-up area of around 607.5 m² on a plot of up to about 963.4 m².
- Some offerings include a villa with a built-up area of around 518 m² on a plot averaging 780 m².
Land area and built-up area are counted separately for a villa: the plot size determines the size of the garden and the setbacks, while the built-up area shows the size of the rooms, reception and service areas. Prices for some large standalone villas start from around EGP 72 million.
Palm Hills New Cairo Prices
Unit prices in the project start from around EGP 10.29 million in the current apartment offerings. Prices change with the number of rooms, the floor, the garden, the finishing and the delivery date.
The following brackets show the differences between unit types:
- Small fully finished apartments are the lowest-priced entry point.
- A ground-floor apartment gains value when it has a usable garden.
- A penthouse adds cost in return for the roof terrace and the wider view.
- A townhouse starts from a higher price level because of the land and the private entrance.
- A twin house goes beyond the townhouse in plot size and level of independence.
- The standalone villa offers the highest level of privacy, with a clear increase in maintenance and fit-out costs.
Payment Plans and Delivery Dates
Cleo offers a payment plan starting with a 3% down payment, with escalating instalments of up to 10 years.
Other plans exist for some villas and houses, including:
- A down payment starting from 5%.
- An additional payment of 5% after contracting, according to the set plan.
- Instalments of up to 8.5 years for some units.
- Different plans for ready units, depending on the delivery percentage and the amount already paid.
Delivery of the first phases began in 2021, while the Cleo units on offer target dates including 2027 and 2030. The contract sets each unit's delivery date, finishing level and maintenance fee.
