Egypt Real Estate
market overview
• 10 year history of the Real Estate market
• Real Estate market becoming speculative
• Fear of dlow down or a correction/
• Real Estate market outlook
• Real estate overview : Implications
Sources: Global Property Guide and Beltone Financials
10 Year History
of the Real Estate Market
• After years of only state-built housing, in the early 1990s the
government allowed private housing projects. Inexperienced
companies jumped in. Soon there was massive oversupply. Egypt
was suddenly full of empty housing blocks. Developers went
bankrupt, and from 1997 on there was a massive housing
oversupply crisis.
• The government initiated a managed float of the Egyptian Pound
in January 2003, leading to a sharp drop in its value (though it has
somewhat recovered). The lower currency has encouraged
expatriate Egyptians and GCC nationals to buy, boosting the
market.
• Economic and legislative reforms in last 3 years has given further
support to Real Estate market and encouraged wider participation
by local population
Real Estate Market
Becoming Speculative
• The recent auction of eight land plots by the government in New
Cairo and Sixth of October City has culminated in the highest of the
sharp rise in land prices in Egypt’s real estate sector, which began
towards the middle of 2006.
• Land prices have increased around 15-20% a year on average
over the last three years since the economic slump earlier in the
decade, and the current bids imply a 70-80% year on year increase
over prices in 2006.
Fear of Slow Down
or a Correction
• When land prices reach a certain level, the rate of annual increase
will slow down, and then a portion of property holders, the
speculative buyers of today, may panic and sell. Demand will turn
into supply as property becomes offered abundantly on the market
and prices will start to fall.
• It is estimated that currently around 30 – 40% of property purchases
are by speculative buyers. If and when these buyers start to sell off
their property on fears of diminishing returns, we believe the real
estate market could see a 20 – 25% downward correction. This will
not happen suddenly, given the normal lag between demand and
supply of real estate, but this should start to happen by 2008.
Real Estate Market Outlook
Despite fears of a correction, the expected rise in real demand keeps
the long term outlook positive due to:
The Gulf is now exploding with new oil money, and sees Egypt as
less risky than Lebanon or Jordan (private liquidity in GCC is a
staggering US$1.5 trillion)
Improving legislative environment and Egypt’s strong economic
growth, resulting in substantial rises in salaries especially in new
industries such as finance, oil and gas, and business process
outsourcing and information technology (IT) industries.
Real Estate Market Outlook, cont.
– Booming Tourism, supports demand for both short-term rental
accommodation and second properties. Today Egypt Offers
best Rental Yields in the region at 11.4%, followed by Jordan
AT 9.6%
– Favorable Demographics of large and growing young
population . Egypt needs 2.5m housing units just to meet
existing demand and a further 350,000 annually to keep pace
with its burgeoning population growth.
Real Estate Overview - Implications
In order to avoid being affected by a Real Estate correction we need to:
1. Speed up marketing of Eastown & Westown before market before
slows down/corrects
2. Need to market projects outside Egypt
3. Consider arrangements with mortgage companies to provide long
term payment plans

Cai/Alex Strip
Royal Meadows
• Sheikh Zayed itself, the area where the compound is set, is an ideal
location. It is very well connected to the heart of the city with clear
well constructed roads, far from the traffic nightmare. The Ring
Road being near by, you are pretty much connected to all of Cairo.
The air is fresher, and cooler with magnificent evening breezes
swaying in from the distant desert. Cherished silence and peace
sink into your nerves like very welcomed relief.
Float away amidst the mists of fruitful essences. Breathe in the air
that will clear the channels of your mind and lift you into the peaceful
existence you so painfully crave to lay back and sink into. Let
yourself go, the fruitful mists will carry you and lay you gently into
the peaceful Royal Meadows.
Cai/Alex Strip
Meadows Park
• The name is well chosen. Meadows Park compound nestles in
open, rolling parkland, a patchwork quilt of verdant meadows.
Meadows Park has redefined the meaning of home. It is a place
where you can relax, feel safe, enjoy the cozy familiarity of favorite
furniture and objects d'art; where you are at one with self and
surroundings; a place where you can entertain with complete
confidence.
• Imaginative planning, rigorous standards, and high quality materials
have ensured that all buildings combine inherent integrity with
exquisite features.
• Meadows Park was designed and built by Egypt's finest engineering
companies.
Cai/Alex Strip
Emaar - Uptown Cairo
• Stylish living in the heart of Cairo, standing tall at the highest point of
Downtown Cairo, this four million square meter development by
Emaar Misr will bring new meaning to living, working, relaxing and
reveling in the city.
• Uptown Cairo will reflect the hallmark luxury and style that Emaar’s
world-class developments are known for. Stretching over the
Mukatam suburb, it will attract the capital’s trendsetters with its
vibrant town centre, private clubs, hotels, Golf course, restaurants,
cafes and much more. Uptown Cairo’s eleven villages, ranging from
low-rise on the hillside to medium-rise (three to 22 storey) further
down the slope, will offer panoramic views of the city, making it an
address most looked up to.
• Loop roads will define each neighborhood, internal roads and
pedestrian walkways will provide easy access to schools, swimming
pools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail centers and places of
worship. Inviting the upwardly mobile to a lifestyle that is complete in
every aspect, in one central location.

Communication Phases
Need for 2 Phased Campaign:
1. Phase 1: PR (see separate GCI presentation):
Corporate - Establish Solidere/SODIC
» introduce Solidere’s aspirational unique projects in Lebanon.
» Re-establish SODIC following recent negative history.
» People buy into developer before property.
2. Phase 2: ATL/BTL + Launch Event + PR
Communicate projects of two cities.
» Eastown more distinctive with less competition, but more
developed.
» Westown location remote (today) and needs more time for
commercial property and Investors.
» Anticipate Real Estate market signs of softening.
Above all, stand up to Emaar/Damac/TMG/MAF/Barwa/Deyar who
have a history of overspending.

  • 3. Implementation • Preparation of an overall coherent Communication Strategy • Preparation of a One year Communication Plan • Immediate implementation of a National and Regional positioning PR campaign of the Solidere/Sodic Partnership and the development of these 2 major projects, their scale, names and offerings. • Starting January 2008, a One year focused, business oriented, Advertising campaign in local and Pan-Arab Magazines and Publications • Starting January 2008, a One year Outdoor Ad campaign covering outdoor, billboards as well as site hording. • Immediate production of the brochures. • Press Pack Design • Signage design to indicate directions to destinations. • Website Design. • One year Consultancy on the Communication plan.
  • 4. Eastown & Westown Egypt Egypt Real Estate market: Overview Implications Competitive Review: Developments Implications Eastown & Westown projects analysis: Eastown Westown Communication: Strategy Targets Positioning Phases Guidelines Concepts Calendar Estimated Budget Grey Global team Appendix: other projects
  • 5. Eastown & Westown Egypt Conceived and Managed by Solidere/Lebanon. Built by SODIC/Egypt
  • 6. Egypt Real Estate market overview • 10 year history of the Real Estate market • Real Estate market becoming speculative • Fear of dlow down or a correction/ • Real Estate market outlook • Real estate overview : Implications Sources: Global Property Guide and Beltone Financials
  • 7. 10 Year History of the Real Estate Market • After years of only state-built housing, in the early 1990s the government allowed private housing projects. Inexperienced companies jumped in. Soon there was massive oversupply. Egypt was suddenly full of empty housing blocks. Developers went bankrupt, and from 1997 on there was a massive housing oversupply crisis. • The government initiated a managed float of the Egyptian Pound in January 2003, leading to a sharp drop in its value (though it has somewhat recovered). The lower currency has encouraged expatriate Egyptians and GCC nationals to buy, boosting the market. • Economic and legislative reforms in last 3 years has given further support to Real Estate market and encouraged wider participation by local population
  • 8. Real Estate Market Becoming Speculative • The recent auction of eight land plots by the government in New Cairo and Sixth of October City has culminated in the highest of the sharp rise in land prices in Egypt’s real estate sector, which began towards the middle of 2006. • Land prices have increased around 15-20% a year on average over the last three years since the economic slump earlier in the decade, and the current bids imply a 70-80% year on year increase over prices in 2006.
  • 9. Fear of Slow Down or a Correction • When land prices reach a certain level, the rate of annual increase will slow down, and then a portion of property holders, the speculative buyers of today, may panic and sell. Demand will turn into supply as property becomes offered abundantly on the market and prices will start to fall. • It is estimated that currently around 30 – 40% of property purchases are by speculative buyers. If and when these buyers start to sell off their property on fears of diminishing returns, we believe the real estate market could see a 20 – 25% downward correction. This will not happen suddenly, given the normal lag between demand and supply of real estate, but this should start to happen by 2008.
  • 10. Real Estate Market Outlook Despite fears of a correction, the expected rise in real demand keeps the long term outlook positive due to: The Gulf is now exploding with new oil money, and sees Egypt as less risky than Lebanon or Jordan (private liquidity in GCC is a staggering US$1.5 trillion) Improving legislative environment and Egypt’s strong economic growth, resulting in substantial rises in salaries especially in new industries such as finance, oil and gas, and business process outsourcing and information technology (IT) industries.
  • 11. Real Estate Market Outlook, cont. – Booming Tourism, supports demand for both short-term rental accommodation and second properties. Today Egypt Offers best Rental Yields in the region at 11.4%, followed by Jordan AT 9.6% – Favorable Demographics of large and growing young population . Egypt needs 2.5m housing units just to meet existing demand and a further 350,000 annually to keep pace with its burgeoning population growth.
  • 12. Real Estate Overview - Implications In order to avoid being affected by a Real Estate correction we need to: 1. Speed up marketing of Eastown & Westown before market before slows down/corrects 2. Need to market projects outside Egypt 3. Consider arrangements with mortgage companies to provide long term payment plans
  • 13. Competitive Review • Katameya (New Cairo) • Cairo/Alex Strip(6th Oct/Sheikh Zayed) • Mukatam

  • 22. Royal Meadows • Sheikh Zayed itself, the area where the compound is set, is an ideal location. It is very well connected to the heart of the city with clear well constructed roads, far from the traffic nightmare. The Ring Road being near by, you are pretty much connected to all of Cairo. The air is fresher, and cooler with magnificent evening breezes swaying in from the distant desert. Cherished silence and peace sink into your nerves like very welcomed relief. Float away amidst the mists of fruitful essences.

  • 24. Emaar - Uptown Cairo • Stylish living in the heart of Cairo, standing tall at the highest point of Downtown Cairo, this four million square meter development by Emaar Misr will bring new meaning to living, working, relaxing and reveling in the city. • Uptown Cairo will reflect the hallmark luxury and style that Emaar’s world-class developments are known for. Stretching over the Mukatam suburb, it will attract the capital’s trendsetters with its vibrant town centre, private clubs, hotels, Golf course, restaurants, cafes and much more. Uptown Cairo’s eleven villages, ranging from low-rise on the hillside to medium-rise (three to 22 storey) further down the slope, will offer panoramic views of the city, making it an address most looked up to. • Loop roads will define each neighborhood, internal roads and pedestrian walkways will provide easy access to schools, swimming pools, healthcare facilities, offices, retail centers and places of worship.

Phase 2: ATL/BTL + Launch Event + PR Communicate projects of two cities. » Eastown more distinctive with less competition, but more developed. » Westown location remote (today) and needs more time for commercial property and Investors. » Anticipate Real Estate market signs of softening. Above all, stand up to Emaar/Damac/TMG/MAF/Barwa/Deyar who have a history of overspending.
