Owagik launches new visual identity
Owagik Real Estate Development Company has announced the start of a new chapter in its journey by launching a refreshed visual identity that reflects its forward-looking vision and expansion strategy, in line with the rapid developments in Egypt's real estate sector. In this context, Eng. Mohamed Emad Kassem, CEO of Owagik, stated: 'The launch of the new visual identity is not merely a cosmetic change, but a strategic move aimed at expanding our business scope and delivering integrated, innovative real estate projects that meet the aspirations of the Egyptian market and keep pace with its evolution.' He added that this relaunch coincides with the announcement of a fully administrative tower featuring 12,000 square meters of saleable space, as part of a new phase of administrative units within the Owagik Towers project — one of the most prominent mixed-use developments in the heart of Downtown, New Administrative Capital. The project spans 8,000 square meters. Eng. Mohamed Emad confirmed that the investment volume of the new phase of the administrative tower amounts to approximately EGP 2.5 billion. The project consists of three towers, each rising to G+15 floors, in addition to four underground levels covering the entire plot area. It enjoys a strategic location on two main streets, near key landmarks such as Central Park, the Tourist Towers, Egypt Mosque, Al-Massa Hotel, the Gold Market, and the Monorail Station. The project also includes the largest open plaza in the area, covering 5,300 square meters. Kassem revealed that the new phase includes operational administrative units starting from 50 square meters, with prices starting at EGP 66,000 per square meter (after discounts for installment plans up to 7 years), along with flexible payment options extending up to 10 years and discounts reaching up to 50%. This offers real opportunities for investors and companies to combine prime location with financial flexibility and credibility. He noted that construction progress on the project has surpassed 50%, affirming the company's commitment to timelines and execution quality, leveraging the extensive experience of its parent company, Global Integrated Contracting, which boasts over 20 years of expertise and a proven track record of more than 15 integrated urban projects with a total business volume exceeding EGP 7 billion. Eng. Mohamed Emad Kassem concluded his remarks by emphasizing: 'Owagik holds a distinguished land portfolio in several key cities, and we are working on developing diverse projects with an innovative vision in the coming period. Our goal is to meet the demands of the evolving Egyptian market and strengthen our role as a trusted real estate developer and active contributor to shaping a sustainable urban future.'

PM reviews plan to unlock full potential of Egypt's kaolin sand resources
Egypt - Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly chaired a meeting on Sunday at the government headquarters in the New Administrative Capital to review a project designed to harness Egypt's abundant kaolin sand deposits and maximise their added value. The meeting brought together Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade Hassan El-Khatib, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Karim Badawi, Chairperson of INCOM Egypt Hesham Sheta, along with several senior company officials. Madbouly stressed that the government remains committed to supporting investments across various sectors—including the mining industry—as part of its broader strategy to promote industrial development, innovation, and attract both domestic and foreign investment. The Minister of Petroleum underlined the ministry's focus on enhancing the economic return of mineral resources through local manufacturing and the localisation of downstream industries, aiming to build a competitive, industrialised economy. Cabinet Spokesperson Mohamed El-Homsany noted that the meeting featured a detailed presentation on Incom Company's project, outlining its key components and estimated investment value. He explained that the project is an integrated industrial and logistics venture situated in the Suez Canal Economic Zone in Ain Sokhna. It aims to maximise the added value of kaolin sand—a resource plentiful in Egypt and rich in alumina—by processing it into high-value industrial products. Total investments in the project are estimated at around €90 million. El-Homsany added that the facility will employ advanced technologies to physically, chemically, and thermally separate and refine the raw kaolin sand, helping to reduce Egypt's reliance on imports and create new export opportunities. 'This project will not only strengthen the national economy but also enhance Egypt's role as a regional industrial and logistics hub in this field,' he said. During the meeting, Hesham Sheta reaffirmed INCOM's commitment to sustainable industrial development and to maximising the economic potential of Egypt's natural resources. Kaolin sand, also known as kaolinite, is a clay mineral primarily composed of hydrated aluminium silicate. Recognised for its fine, soft, and light-coloured texture, kaolin is widely used in various industrial applications, including ceramics, paper, and refractories. © 2025 Daily News Egypt.

Egypt now Mena's third-largest construction market with $565.5bn pipeline
Egypt's construction market has grown into one of the largest in the Middle East and North Africa, with future projects valued at $565.5 billion, a report has found. A report by global property consultancy Knight Frank identifies Egypt as the third-largest construction market in the region, following Saudi Arabia and the UAE, with $120 billion in projects currently under execution. The annual report, Egypt's Construction Landscape 2025, outlines a market shaped by steady activity and large-scale infrastructure developments. Residential and commercial real estate projects dominate contract awards, but mega-projects in energy, transport and other sectors have also played a significant role in the country's construction output over the past decade. According to Knight Frank, 51 per cent of projects are still in the study phase, while 39 per cent are in the design phase. This means that while opportunities in planning, feasibility studies and pre-construction services are significant, most projects are not yet ready for groundbreaking. While Egypt's construction boom has historically been driven by government-backed infrastructure projects such as the New Administrative Capital, the Suez Canal expansion and the many satellite cities built by the state to accommodate the growing population, private-sector developers are now playing a more prominent role. Tightened public spending, a condition of Egypt's loan programme with the International Monetary Fund has made more room for private-sector investment in housing, office spaces and coastal developments, a report from the Egyptian Chambers of Commerce said. Tourism-related construction has also grown, with developers targeting high-demand areas such as the Red Sea, North Coast and New Alamein. These projects are catering to domestic buyers and Egyptians living abroad, who now account for a significant share of real estate demand, the report said. Despite the sector's growth, rising construction and input costs remain a challenge. Inflation, volatile exchange rates and reliance on imported materials have led to higher property prices. According to industry estimates, prices for residential and commercial properties could rise by as much as 30 per cent this year on the back of high inflation, rising production costs and interest rates, which the central bank has kept high to reduce inflation. Knight Frank's report emphasises the long-term potential of Egypt's construction market, particularly as the country continues to and expand its urban infrastructure. However, with 90 per cent of future projects still in early stages, the pace of development will depend on economic stability, foreign investment and mitigating the cost of imports.
