LocationFifth Settlement — New Cairo
What is The Crest?
The Crest Compound is a 158-acre New Cairo community designed by Raef Fahmy to combine apartments, duplexes, townhouses, town villas, quads and standalone villas across neighbourhoods of different densities. That ladder lets a household move from a compact residence to a home with a private entrance and larger outdoor allocation without leaving the same address, but it also makes the selected district and model central to any comparison.
Landscape and water are distributed between residential clusters, creating separation between façades and giving individual areas their own character. Connections toward South 90th Street and the surrounding eastern Cairo network support daily access. A property near a major entrance, however, offers a different balance of convenience, traffic and walking distance from one placed deeper within the plan.
The published second release contains 200 homes from 85 to 330 sqm, with delivery beginning during 2027 under its phase and contract timetable. Area should therefore be considered together with the unit's recorded date, neighbourhood, orientation and balance between built and outdoor space. Pricing remains on request, so the sound comparison puts the total contract value, payment milestones and handover terms on the same page before a reservation is made.

Where is The Crest located?
The Crest connects to New Cairo from the meeting point of the Middle Ring Road and South 90th Street. Approximate drives place the American University in Cairo and Ain Sokhna Road at about 5 minutes, Suez Road at 10, and the New Administrative Capital within 30–32 minutes. Traffic and the chosen entrance alter those estimates, while the ring-road connection supports movement toward Nasr City and Cairo International Airport.

What is the The Crest master plan?
The Crest's master plan by architect Raef Fahmi divides 158 acres into five specialised districts — Crestfield, Crestside, Crestonia, CrestVille and The Signature Ville — radiating from a green central spine of roughly 35,000 sqm, with phased handover from Q4 2027 through 2029. The masterplan is built around a 'city within a city' philosophy: five specialised residential districts radiating from a green central spine that encompasses approximately 35,000 sqm of open-air services and communal spaces. Raef Fahmi Architects oriented each district to maximise views toward water features and landscaped parks, while fully separating vehicular from pedestrian movement — creating a calm, self-sufficient living environment where every resident can walk to their amenity without encountering traffic.
Who is developing The Crest?
IL Cazar Developments is delivering The Crest in collaboration with UDC Real Estate Development of MOBH Group. For this New Cairo project, the company selected a South 90th Street gateway, appointed Raef Fahmy for the plan, and divided the residential offer into apartment, townhouse and villa districts instead of repeating one housing format.
Why invest in The Crest?
The Crest suits buyers who want direct South 90th Street access without being limited to one home type. Compare the selected district, orientation, contractual handover date and the balance between private outdoor space and built area before deciding.
