Roughly 45 kilometres east of Cairo, Egypt has built something the region has never seen at this scale: a new capital designed from a blank page as a smart, sustainable city. Now officially called The New Capital, it was planned around a government administrative district, a diplomatic quarter, a cultural district of opera houses and theatres, a central business district, vast parklands, and 21 residential districts.
A city built around green space
At its centre runs the Green River — a roughly 10-kilometre urban park, one of the largest of its kind anywhere, threading gardens and leisure zones through the city. Instead of treating parkland as an afterthought, the New Capital makes it the spine everything else is organised around. For residents, that means living minutes from open green space rather than fighting traffic to reach it.
A business district crowned by Africa's tallest tower
The Central Business District is the commercial backbone of the city, anchored by the Iconic Tower — at around 385 metres, the tallest tower in Africa. Alongside it sit administrative and commercial towers, mixed-use malls, international hospitals, and universities, many of which are entering full operation through 2026.
Connected, not isolated
A monorail now links Cairo to the New Capital, tying into the Cairo Metro and light rail, complemented by electric bus and tram networks. The result is a capital that is genuinely reachable — close enough for work in Cairo, far enough to escape its density.
Where to live
With 21 residential districts spanning everything from apartments to private villa estates, the question for most buyers is less "should I move here" and more "which community fits my life." That is exactly where Granville comes in — a low-density villa community that takes the New Capital's promise of green, calm, considered living and builds an entire estate around it.
A royal address in the New Capital
Granville is a 125-acre, 459-villa community in the heart of Egypt's New Administrative Capital, developed by Founders, a subsidiary of Hyde Park Developments. Inspired by 19th-century French architecture, it brings together grand chateaus, family-sized grandes, and intimate maisonettes around lakes, gardens, and tree-lined avenues — every home fully finished and ready to move in.
