Badreldin teams up with IHG to launch West Cairo's tallest towers
Badreldin Group, a leading player in Egypt's real estate sector, has joined hands with InterContinental Hotel Group, for the launch of West Cairo's tallest towers. Rising 150m tall with 40 storeys, these landmarks will redefine the Egyptian capital's skyline.
The towers will feature hospitality, residential and office spaces – complemented by top-class amenities such as dedicated concierge services, conference rooms, co-working spaces, health and wellness facilities and a dynamic podium with retail and F&B offerings.
The launch comes at a time when Badreldin Group is celebrating its 50 years of experience and real estate excellence in the Egyptian market.
Over the past five decades, the group has reshaped Egypt's urban landscape through a transformative portfolio spanning over 1.9 million sqm of pioneering projects, including Arkan Plaza and the Karma Communities. In 2020, the group partnered with Arkan to establish Arkan Palm Developments,
bringing to life the groundbreaking 205 project.
Designed as a vibrant hub for residents and businesses alike, the project features upscale serviced residences, world-class hotels managed by InterContinental by IHG Hotels and property management by Savills Egypt, a dynamic financial district, a cutting-edge medical park led by Al Safa Hospital, and the charming Canal Walk Residence neighborhood.
Standing at the heart of 205's next chapter, the three high-rise towers will reshape West Cairo's skyline and establish a new precedent for architectural innovation in Egypt.
The group embarks on a bold new chapter with its flagship project, 205, set to transform West Cairo into a vibrant hub for business, lifestyle, and innovation.
The milestone event featured a breathtaking orchestral performance by international soprano Fatma Said, accompanied by conductor Marcus Merkel and developed by RMC – showcasing the group's dedication to blending art, culture, and innovation into its vision for the future.
The gala also marked the unveiling of a bold new chapter for 205 by Arkan Palm Developments, the
group's flagship project in Sheikh Zayed.
A Badreldin Company, Arkan has emerged as a pioneering mixed-use real estate developer in Egypt, setting new benchmarks in the industry.
The group's flagship destination, Arkan Plaza, serves as a visionary landmark and the heartbeat of
Sheikh Zayed's community spirit. Located in the heart of Zayed City, Arkan Plaza has quickly become a
commercial hub, redefining the way people work, dine, and socialize in West Cairo.
The group's prime project, 205 represents a new center of gravity along the 26th of July corridor, offering a vibrant mix of residential and commercial spaces tailored for modern living, it stated.
"It will soon introduce three architectural marvels that will redefine the city's skyline. The towers will feature hospitality, residential, and office spaces - complemented by world-class amenities such as dedicated concierge services, conference rooms, co-working spaces, health and wellness facilities and a dynamic podium with retail and F&B offerings," remarked its Founder and President Mamdouh Badreldin.
Envisioned as 'The World in One Location,' this mixed-use destination will feature three hotels managed by InterContinental Hotel Group.
Designed as a fully integrated vertical compound, the towers will establish 205 as West Cairo's premier hub for business, lifestyle, and luxury living – setting a new standard for urban excellence, he added.
Badreldin said: "Our steadfast commitment to creating spaces that uplift communities and drive business success is stronger than ever."
"The developments at 205 mark a bold step forward, reaffirming our vision to shape the future of West Cairo, enhance our legacy, and usher in a new era of progress and innovation for generations to come," he stated.

AD Ports Group will develop, construct, finance, operate, and manage the industrial and logistics zone in phases, with a focus on phase 1 to start with, an area covering a total of 2.8 sq km. An estimated total investment of $120 million will be allocated to market and technical studies as well as to phase 1 development over the next three years. Construction on the initial phase is expected to start by the end of this year.

In line with the vision of our wise leadership, this strategic cooperation is another sign of our Group's growing focus on Egypt, where we continue to enhance and develop our integrated trade, transport, and industrial ecosystem, offering clients unparalleled end-to-end solutions and services.

Among these is the KEZAD East Port Said Industrial and Logistics Zone, which seamlessly connects with East Port Said Port, a key strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea. The port features deep berths for large vessels, efficient operations, and excellent connectivity to advanced road and transportation networks.

Trump Demands Sisi Give US Ships Free Passage Through Suez, Support Against Houthis
US President Donald Trump asked his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, for American ships to enjoy free passage through the Suez Canal in an April phone call, as the US presses ahead with its bombing campaign against the Houthis in Yemen. Trump has made no secret of his belief that US vessels should transit the strategic waterway for free. On Saturday, he publicly demanded as much, saying the canal 'would not exist without the United States of America.' One Egyptian MP was reported as characterizing the Trump administration's moves as blackmail and rubbished Trump's claim about the canal's existence, saying it was 'purely Egyptian'. The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday that Trump raised the issue with Sisi directly this month. The two leaders spoke on April 1. An Egyptian readout of the call stated that the two leaders 'discussed developments in the Middle East and mediation efforts to restore calm to the region, which reflects positively on navigation in the Red Sea.' At the end of 2024, Egypt's presidential office said the country had lost at least $7bn in Suez Canal revenue. According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump told Sisi the US wanted Egyptian support for its campaign against the Houthis, including military assistance, intelligence sharing and funding, because the US bombing campaign would help to restore traffic through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Sisi sidestepped the request and told Trump the best way to address the Houthi threat was a ceasefire in Gaza. The conversation dovetails with Trump's public messaging on the Suez Canal. His reasoning also aligns with that of private discussions between US senior officials, as revealed in a leaked Signal group chat earlier this year. 'As I heard it, the president was clear: green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return,' one person identified in a group chat started by national security advisor Mike Waltz was revealed as saying in The Atlantic. The person was identified as SM, which appears to refer to Trump adviser Stephen Miller. 'If the US successfully restores freedom of navigation at great cost, there needs to be some further economic gain extracted in return,' the Signal user said. Trump's demand for Egypt to provide military support or economic assistance to the US is a stark reversal in the two countries' post-war relationship, which usually has it the other way around. The US brokered the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. Since then, the US has provided roughly $1.3bn in military aid to Egypt. But ties between Egypt and the US have been dented by Israel's war on Gaza. US diplomats in Cairo have tried to dissuade the Trump administration from pressing Egypt to accept forcibly displaced Palestinians, Middle East Eye reported previously. Egyptian officials are already simmering with anger at the US for siding with Israel when the latter seized Gaza's southern city of Rafah in May 2024 and accused Egypt of being negligent in policing the border. MEE revealed in March that the UAE, a close patron of Egypt, was lobbying the Trump administration against a plan that Cairo introduced to the Arab League for post-war governance of the Gaza Strip. According to US and Egyptian officials, the US has told Egypt it is considering cutting military aid. The officials say the threat to cut aid stems from frustration within Trump's inner circle that Egypt has refused to accept forcibly displaced Palestinians. Click here to read more…
