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.
Looking ahead, Badreldin said the developer remains dedicated to shaping Egypt's urban future through visionary developments that reflect its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community well-being.
With 205 positioned as a transformative project, the group is set to further cement its legacy as a leader in the real estate sector and redefine the standard for modern urban living in West Cairo and beyond, he added. - TradeArabia News Service

EBRD supports Egypt with first private-to-private electricity contracts
Energy market reform is taking a major step forward in Egypt as the government approves the first bilateral power purchase agreements between private generators and consumers. As part of a pilot of the private-to-private (P2P) rules, developed with technical support from the EBRD to the Egyptian Electric Utility and Consumer Protection Regulatory Agency (Egypt ERA) and approved last year, four renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 400 MW have been approved to contract directly with end-consumers of electricity. The four approved projects are: KarmSolar, which will develop a 100 MW solar plant to supply electricity to Suez Steel. AMEA Power, which is building a solar facility of the same size to serve BEFAR Group and the Suez Canal Container Terminal. TAQA PV, which will install 100 MW of hybrid capacity (solar and wind) to power operations at Ezz Steel. Enara, developing a hybrid plant to deliver 100 MW to the El Alamein Silicone Products Company and Helwan Fertilizers. The P2P rules set out the conditions under which generators can use the power grid to sell electricity directly to consumers, a major departure from the existing single-buyer model and a significant step forward in Egypt's efforts to liberalise its electricity market – a goal set out in the 2015 Electricity Law. This approach introduces competition into the electricity sector, expands consumer choice and promotes private investments in renewable energy. It also introduces a path for Egyptian businesses, especially those that are energy-intensive and focused on the export market, to sign agreements directly with renewable energy producers that are increasingly required to prove their low carbon product credentials, for example green hydrogen destined for the European market. Furthermore, given the electricity generation under these contracts will be entirely privately financed, the P2P scheme represents an important route for Egypt to scale up electricity production without the need for government contracts. Mark Davis, the EBRD's managing director for the southern and eastern Mediterranean region, said: 'This milestone shows how the right regulatory framework can unlock private investment and drive the energy transition. By enabling companies to procure green electricity directly from producers, Egypt is opening new opportunities for industry and enhancing its competitiveness. We are proud to have supported EgyptERA in designing this pioneering scheme and will continue working closely as projects move towards implementation.' Dr Mohamed Mousa Omran, the chairman of EgyptERA, said: 'This pilot marks an important step towards a more competitive electricity market in Egypt. By enabling direct agreements between producers and consumers, we are creating space for the private sector to play a greater role in meeting the growing demand for clean energy in Egypt. This is essential for accelerating the deployment of renewables at scale and achieving our long-term energy goals.' The EBRD's technical support is generously funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), a key partner for the Bank in many of its ongoing policy engagements that aim to decarbonise the energy sectors of its countries of operation. This work is being delivered under the EBRD's Renewable Energy Programme, which is currently supporting 16 countries in their development of market-based mechanisms to mobilise private investments. To date, activities under this programme have delivered over 8,500 MW of renewable energy capacity being awarded in 8 countries.

Egypt Launches Standardised Reporting Framework for Startups and Investors
Egypt's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency (MSMEDA), backed by World Bank, has collaborated with several venture capital firms and the US-based platform to introduce a standardised portfolio reporting framework for startups and investors across the country. Led by Foundation Ventures, the initiative includes participation from Algebra Ventures, Sawari Ventures, Shorooq Partners, Endure Capital, Camel Ventures, DenVC, LoftyInc Capital, DisrupTech Ventures, and the Climate Resilient Africa Fund. The aim is to establish common metrics, reporting timelines, and formats, addressing the longstanding issue of inconsistent data practices within Egypt's startup ecosystem. Although Egypt's startup scene has expanded significantly in recent years, inconsistent reporting standards remain a key challenge. Startups frequently contend with producing varied reports to meet different investor requirements, while venture capital firms face difficulties in assessing portfolio performance due to the absence of unified benchmarks. The initiative seeks to simplify reporting processes for both general partners (GPs) and portfolio companies through a centralised data platform designed to enhance transparency, reliability, and operational efficiency. 'We are excited about enhancing Egypt's investment attractiveness by providing the necessary transparency to encourage foreign direct investment,' said Mazen Nadim, Managing Partner at Foundation Ventures. Following a competitive selection process, was chosen to develop and operate the platform. The company is working in partnership with Egyptian GPs to tailor the system to local requirements and workflows. The platform is expected to be fully implemented by the end of the second quarter of 2025, with the first comprehensive ecosystem report anticipated by mid-2026. By introducing a unified reporting framework, the effort is expected to ease administrative burdens for startups, provide greater clarity for investors, and strengthen Egypt's position as a destination for regional and international venture capital.

Egypt Founder Leads Limited to $7M Raise for Global Stablecoin Banking Expansion
Limited, a US-based next-generation fintech startup offering stablecoin-based global banking services with self-custody, has secured US$7 million in a seed funding round. The round was led by North Island Ventures, with additional participation from existing backers Third Prime and Arche Capital, as well as new investors Collab+Currency and SevenX Ventures. This brings the company's total funding to US$10 million since its founding in 2024. Founded by Hussein Ahmed, an Egyptian entrepreneur, Limited has developed a banking and payments platform that integrates the security of self-custody stablecoins with the functionality of traditional banking services. Available on iOS, Android, and web, the platform is accessible in 176 countries and enables users, both individuals and businesses, to access global payment systems while retaining full control of their funds via self-custody wallets. The platform also includes tiered Visa and Mastercard offerings and cross-border payment tools that support over 300 local payment methods in more than 80 currencies. 'With stablecoin transaction volumes exceeding $30 trillion annually and global remittance fees averaging 6.3%, we've created a solution that finally resolves the traditional tradeoff between self-custody security and ease of use,' said Ahmed. 'This funding will accelerate our growth in high-opportunity markets across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, where demand for borderless financial services is strongest.' Unlike earlier fintech models that largely built on existing financial infrastructure, Limited offers a platform designed from the ground up, merging usability with enterprise-grade security. The company aims to meet the growing demand for more secure, globally accessible financial tools, especially in emerging markets where traditional banking services may fall short.
