Egypt’s commercial real estate sector has entered a new growth cycle driven by economic reform, currency adjustments, and strong demand for inflation-hedged assets. Administrative and commercial properties are now among the most sought-after asset classes in Egypt.
Market Size & Expansion
Egypt’s commercial real estate market is estimated to exceed $10 billion in 2025, with steady annual growth expected over the next five years. The office sector alone represents one of the largest segments of this market, fueled by:
Corporate expansions
Relocation of government entities
Increased startup activity
Growth in professional services
Administrative offices now represent a major share of total commercial transactions, particularly in new cities.
The Rise of Grade-A Office Demand
Tenants are increasingly seeking Grade-A buildings with:
Professional property management
Modern façade and infrastructure
Underground parking
Central air-conditioning systems
Smart building technology
Projects such as Iconic Tower in the New Administrative Capital symbolize Egypt’s shift toward premium business districts.
Meanwhile, developments like Golden Gate and Cairo Festival City continue to attract multinational tenants and retail brands.
Rental & Yield Insights
Prime office rental yields range between 7%–10% annually depending on location.
Administrative units often outperform residential in terms of rental stability.
Commercial units in high-footfall areas can generate even higher short-term returns.
Outlook
As supply remains controlled and demand continues to grow, especially in new business districts, administrative and commercial real estate is expected to remain one of Egypt’s strongest performing sectors.
