Commenting on the announcement, Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Aldar Properties and Chairman of SODIC, said: “The expansion of SODIC’s luxury property development portfolio underscores the demand for new real estate concepts in prime locations in Egypt and Aldar’s belief in the long term growth potential of the market. We are confident that these developments will not only solidify SODIC’s market-leading position but also cater to the increasing demand for distinctive and high-end properties we are witnessing across the growing West Cairo and North Coast markets.
Industry sources further added that spanning 440 acres of spectacular beachfront terrain, the Nobu Hotel and Residences in the North Coast development will offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Situated in the Ras El Hikma area, renowned for its crystalline waters and pristine sandy beaches, the project is at the heart of one of the fastest-growing luxury destinations in the region.
