The Crest
IL Cazar's flagship development at the Middle Ring Road & South 90th Street junction
What is The Crest?
The Crest is IL Cazar's flagship compound, developed through a formal Egyptian-Emirati partnership with UAE-based UDC Real Estate (MOBH Group), spanning 158 acres at the Middle Ring Road and South 90th Street junction in New Cairo's Fifth Settlement, with EGP 30 billion in direct investment, prices from EGP 4,900,000, and phased delivery from Q4 2027 through 2029. The Crest is a 158-acre residential project at the intersection of the Middle Ring Road and South 90th Street in New Cairo's Fifth Settlement. It was built through a formal Egyptian–Emirati partnership between IL Cazar and UDC Real Estate Development (a subsidiary of UAE's MOBH Group), with EGP 30 billion in direct investment and EGP 60 billion in targeted sales — placing it among the largest single-compound bets in Egyptian real estate.
The masterplan — conceived by celebrated firm Raef Fahmi Architects — deliberately breaks from rigid conventional layouts, introducing fluid building orientations, sleek glass-and-stone elevations, and a landscape where over 60% of the total area is devoted to parks, gardens, and ten artificial lakes. Five distinct residential districts give the compound its internal richness: Crestfield for apartments and duplexes, Crestside for townhouses, Crestonia for quads, CrestVille for standalone villas, and The Signature Ville for single-storey ultra-luxury residences. Unit sizes range from 85 sqm to over 400 sqm, accommodating everything from young professionals to multi-generational families.

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.
Why invest in The Crest?
The Crest bets on a rare junction position at the Middle Ring Road and South 90th Street, backed by a formal Emirati partnership with UDC Real Estate — developer of Qatar's Pearl Island — EGP 30 billion in direct investment, and 3,000 units across five districts that support stronger rental yields and resale liquidity than smaller compounds. The Crest is not simply another New Cairo compound — it is IL Cazar's all-in bet on the long-term capital appreciation of the Fifth Settlement's most coveted corridor. Three factors elevate it above peers: Location — the Ring Road/90th Street intersection means land values here are structurally positioned to appreciate as surrounding infrastructure matures. Partnership — the Emirati UDC alliance brings Pearl Island-calibre construction standards and institutional capital discipline to Cairo. Scale and diversity — 3,000 units across five specialised districts generates a genuine living community with sufficient internal amenities, supporting stronger rental yields and faster resale value growth than smaller compounds dependent entirely on external services.
