Defaf New Capital Compound by DIG Developments

Defaf New Administrative Capital is a residential compound by DIG Developments on about 22 feddans in residential district R8, with studios, apartments, penthouses and standalone villas in buildings of ground plus eight floors.

About Defaf

Defaf devotes only about 20% of its land to building and leaves about 80% as green and open space, which gives a relatively small project a more spacious feel. The buildings rise ground plus eight floors above two levels of underground parking that also house services.

Units run from a small studio to a standalone villa, so a buyer looking for a small investment unit and a family wanting three bedrooms both find models in one project. It includes a social club, a spa area, swimming pools and a dining area, plus jogging and cycling tracks.

Construction began in late 2025, which means the project is in its early stages and a buyer can choose a floor and position from a larger pool of units before availability narrows.

The project is spread over a limited number of buildings, so the distance between any unit and the shared facilities is short, and residents can walk to the club and the dining area. This helps families with children or older members, since moving around the project mostly does not require a car.

Unit Sizes and Types at Defaf

Units range across studios, apartments of several sizes, penthouses and villas. The areas below are approximate and vary between models.

The difference between models and floors changes the cost and the handover date, so we match a unit to its size and position before you decide.

Prices and Available Units at Defaf

Prices at Defaf vary with unit type, area, floor and payment term, so we send the exact price of the available unit when you enquire rather than a general figure. Installments run for up to 10 years, and booking starts with a refundable amount of EGP 50,000 for an apartment and EGP 100,000 for a villa. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send the available units and the payment schedule for each.

The Developer: DIG Developments

The project is developed by DIG Developments, also known as Deals Investment Group. The company was founded in 2015 and is led by Eng. Hussein Salah. Its work in the New Capital includes commercial projects such as Track 10, 12, 14 and 15 and Mall 20, and the engineering consultant for Defaf is AUE. Because Defaf is in its early stages, we share the construction status before you book.

One advantage of Defaf’s medium size is that the number of buildings is limited, so a buyer can compare units and floors, visit the site and follow construction more easily than in projects spread over hundreds of feddans. Its closeness to the Diplomatic District and Central Park also keeps the capital’s landmarks within a short drive, which matters to anyone working or studying in the heart of the city.

Anyone considering a small unit for rental or resale should ask for the exact studio area and the floor, because the gap between one model and another can reach ten square metres, and we clarify this for each unit before booking.

Amenities and Services

• 24/7 security, CCTV and smart gates.
• Backup generators, fire safety systems, elevators and escalators.
• Underground parking and electric vehicle charging stations.
• A social club, a spa area, wellness centres and swimming pools.
• A dining area and an events area.
• Jogging and cycling tracks and a kids’ play area.

Since units start from about 50 square metres and reach a 200-square-metre villa, the project serves several kinds of buyer at once: the investor who wants a small unit to rent, the employee who wants to live near work in the heart of the capital, and the family looking for three bedrooms or a villa. Comparing these models helps you pick the one that fits your budget and your long-term plan.

The low building ratio also means units overlooking the green areas hold their value over time, so ask about the view when choosing a unit, as it is one of the main things that sets one unit apart from another inside the same project.
