LMD Completes Phase One of Business Quarter at ONE NINETY in New Cairo
Landmark Real Estate Development (LMD), a prominent name in integrated real estate development, has announced the completion of construction work for Phase One of the Business Quarter (Quarter A) at its flagship ONE NINETY project in New Cairo. With final finishing and handover operations now underway, businesses are expected to begin operations this month, marking a major milestone in the evolution of this transformative mixed-use destination.
Spanning a total area of 345,000 square meters, ONE NINETY is designed to be a vibrant urban hub that combines business, hospitality, retail, and residential offerings. The development includes the Business Quarter, W Cairo Hotel & W Cairo Residences, Cairo Design District, retail and entertainment zones, and a lush Urban Park featuring expansive green spaces and a curated selection of fine-dining restaurants.
The project sets new standards in smart, sustainable design and integrated living. With over 2,500 employees expected to operate from Quarter A alone, the entire project aims to attract more than 60,000 visitors and 8,000 employees daily. Sustainability is a core pillar of the development, with features such as electric vehicle charging stations, energy-efficient solar panels, and water recycling systems that promote environmental responsibility while reducing operational costs.
Strategically located at the entrance of 90th Street in New Cairo, adjacent to the Ring Road and directly connected to the One Ninety Monorail Station, the project offers six distinct access points, including a dedicated Ring Road entrance—ensuring convenient, traffic-free accessibility throughout the day.
Quarter A: Egypt's New Business Address
Phase One of the Business Quarter is set to welcome several major corporations and financial institutions, solidifying its reputation as a top-tier business destination. Key tenants include:
• Arab African International Bank (AAIB): The bank's new 24,000 sqm headquarters will accommodate around 2,000 employees, becoming the largest facility of its kind in Egypt.
• PwC: Hosting over 800 professionals in its new regional headquarters.
• Multinationals and regional leaders: Turkish Airlines, Fertiglobe (a subsidiary of ADNOC), and Chalhoub Group are among the companies preparing to open offices.
• Retail and dining: A curated mix of high-end brands, restaurants, and cafés will support the business ecosystem, with several making their Egypt debut.
Leadership Vision
Amr Sultan, CEO of LMD, emphasized the project's broader significance: 'ONE NINETY represents a transformative step in the development of integrated real estate communities and an inspiring vision for the future of entrepreneurship. The completion of Quarter A reflects our commitment to delivering world-class projects that uphold innovation, quality, and sustainability.'
He continued, 'ONE NINETY has already attracted nearly EGP 900 billion in investments. With its prime location and integrated offerings, it is the ultimate destination for companies seeking a dynamic business environment. We are proud of our partnerships with global leaders and look forward to completing the upcoming phases—including the highly anticipated W Cairo Hotel, whose structural framework is expected by end of 2025.'
A New Urban Model
ONE NINETY is being developed in collaboration with top international firms, including SOM (Skidmore, Owings & Merrill), BGB, and Marriott International—marking the debut of the W Hotels brand in Africa. The project not only reflects a new urban vision for New Cairo but also establishes Egypt's first of its kind mixed-use development that combines global standards with local ambition.
As construction advances on remaining phases, ONE NINETY continues to redefine what a modern, sustainable business district can be—positioning New Cairo as a magnet for global investment and enterprise.

Fernandes Declines Al Hilal Offer, Decides Old Trafford Stay
Rana Atef Manchester United striker Bruno Fernandes turned down Saudi Al Hilal's offer and decided to stay with Manchester United. Al Hilal are exploring a deal for the Portugal midfielder as they looked to make the signing before the FIFA Club World Cup, but Fernandes said at Portugal's conference on Tuesday that he wanted to stay at the highest level and play in "big competitions." Fernandes said in the press conference: "I will respond and ask that you not ask me about this anymore," adding: "There was that possibility, the president of Al Hilal called me a month ago to ask me about it. I took some time to think about the future. As I have always said, I would be willing, if Man United thought so. I spoke to coach Ruben Amorim, who, throughout this period, urged me not to go. "The club [United] said they would not be willing to sell me, only if I wanted to leave, that it was not a financial issue. It was a very ambitious proposal." According to ESPN sources familiar with negotiations, Al Hilal would pay around £100 million ($135m) for Fernandes and put together a package that would have significantly increased his salary. The Portagues star, the 30-year-old decided stay at Old Trafford, where he is under contract until 2027. "The president was a spectacular person, we never talked about money [initially]," Fernandes added. read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Central Banks Slow Down Gold Purchases in April as Poland Continues to Lead
Waleed Farouk Data from the World Gold Council shows that central banks around the world added a net total of only 12 tonnes of gold to their reserves in April. This marks the second consecutive month of slowing purchases, down 12% from March, and well below the 12-month average monthly purchase of 28 tonnes. The report suggests that this slowdown may partly be due to the sharp rise in gold prices since the start of the year, prompting some banks to temporarily scale back purchases, even though central bank decisions are usually based on long-term strategic considerations. Poland Remains Top Buyer, with China and Turkey Among Key Additions Notable changes in central bank gold reserves during April included: Poland: The National Bank of Poland added 12 tonnes, raising its reserves to 509 tonnes—surpassing the European Central Bank's holdings of 507 tonnes. Since the beginning of the year, Poland has increased its reserves by 61 tonnes. Czech Republic: Continued its buying streak by adding 3 tonnes, marking the 26th consecutive month of purchases. China: Added 2 tonnes in April, bringing its total purchases for 2025 to 15 tonnes and its overall reserves to 2,294 tonnes. Turkey: Increased its gold reserves by 2 tonnes, reaching a total of 626 tonnes. Kyrgyzstan: Made its first purchase since December, adding 2 tonnes. However, it remains a net seller for the year, with total sales amounting to 2 tonnes. Kazakhstan and Jordan: Each added around 1 tonne to their reserves. Uzbekistan: Sold 11 tonnes in April, marking the third consecutive month of sales. Its total gold sales for the year now stand at 26 tonnes. India Updates Reserve Data and Increases Domestic Holdings India kept its gold reserves unchanged at 880 tonnes. However, in its semi-annual report, it clarified that 512 tonnes (58%) of those reserves are now stored domestically, compared to 510 tonnes (60%) six months ago. This reflects a broader effort by the Reserve Bank of India to enhance local storage, up from just 38% two years ago. Notable Moves by African Central Banks Toward Gold Several African central banks have announced plans to strengthen their gold reserves, including: Namibia: Plans to raise gold's share of total reserves to 3% for the first time. Rwanda: Approved the start of gold purchases beginning in July. Uganda: Announced it will use gold from artisanal mining to boost reserves and meet future financial obligations. Madagascar: Plans to purchase 4 tonnes as part of a strategy to expand its reserves and regulate gold exports. Kenya: Is considering adding gold to its reserves as a diversification measure, though no timeline has been set. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
