Madinet Masr (EGX: MASR.CA), one of Egypt's leading real estate development companies, announced that SAFE (Secure Assets for Fixed Earnings), a first-of-its-kind fractional real estate investment platforms, is among the first platforms to apply under the Financial Regulatory Authority's (FRA) initiative to regulate the fractional real estate market. This step reflects Madinet Masr's ongoing commitment to shaping a secure, transparent, and future-ready investment, while driving innovation and enhancing investment accessibility in Egypt and beyond.
SAFE is emerging as a reliable and innovative investment channel for income-generating real estate assets. Since its launch in December 2024, SAFE has handled transactions totaling nearly EGP 300 million in inventory value, facilitated the sale of over 5,600 property shares, and attracted more than 65,000 users within its first six months of operation. More than 3,500 investors have begun earning monthly rental yields starting from the month following their investment, with average annual returns of 10%, many of which are linked to the USD exchange rate. These milestones underscore the application's strong market positioning as one of the fastest growing proptech ventures in Egypt. By offering entry points starting at EGP 50,000 per share, the application is expanding access to real estate ownership while advancing Madinet Masr's strategic objective of promoting financial inclusion, enabling wealth creation, advancing the sector and supporting long-term sustainable development.
Commenting on the milestone, Eng. Abdallah Sallam, President and CEO of Madinet Masr, said: 'SAFE embodies our vision for delivering innovative concepts that revolutionize real estate market by pioneering fractional ownership in Egypt.

As it evolves, the application will continue to empower individuals to build wealth through accessible and smart real estate investment solutions with a robust pipeline of projects valued at over EGP 1 billion expected within its first year. We are pleased to be among the first companies to apply under the Financial Regulatory Authority's (FRA) initiative to regulate the fractional real estate market."
For his part, Salah Katamish, Senior Vice President of Investment & Strategy at Madinet Masr, commented: 'SAFE was engineered to simplify real estate investment without compromising on security, returns, or user experience. From onboarding to portfolio tracking, every aspect of the application was built to meet the expectations of today's digitally savvy investors. The early numbers show a clear and growing demand for flexible, high-yielding, and trustworthy property-backed investments. We are currently expanding our property pipeline and introducing new features, further enhancing the application's value proposition. As it continues to grow, SAFE remains committed to transparency, trust, and long-term value creation for its users, partners, and stakeholders.'
