Genova Sheikh Zayed

Genova Sheikh Zayed is a residential compound by Eastern Developments on about 30 feddans at the Riviera entrance of Sheikh Zayed City, with about 70% of the land given to green space and lakes. Units start at 153 sqm and include duplexes, penthouses, villas, twin houses and townhouses. The announced down payment starts from 5% with installments up to 9 years.

About Genova compound

The project is searched under several spellings online, including Genova and Genova Zayed, and they all refer to the same project, developed by Eastern Developments. It should not be confused with Genova West, a newer project by the same company on the Riviera axis with a different unit count.

The compound follows a European-style design of low-density buildings surrounded by greenery, with buildings covering no more than about 30% of the land. The models include apartments with private gardens on the ground floor, which suits buyers who want outdoor space inside a gated compound without moving to a detached villa.

The range runs from garden apartments to villas of up to 500 sqm, so it is not enough to ask for the price of Genova in general. Decide the type and size first and then ask for the price, because the gap between a garden apartment and a large villa runs to millions of pounds.

Where is Genova compound

The compound is at the Riviera entrance of Sheikh Zayed City and connects to the 26th of July Corridor and the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road, so the main roads are easy to reach without long internal streets. Key places around it:

• Hyper One: close to the compound.
• Mall of Egypt and Mall of Arabia: along the 26th of July Corridor.
• Lebanon Square: about 15 minutes.
• Geheina Square and the Sheikh Zayed branch of Cairo University: nearby.
• Neighboring compounds such as Royal City.

Genova prices and payment plans

We do not publish a starting price for Genova. What is available today varies between developer units and resale, and a unit’s price follows its type, size, floor and finishing. Message us on WhatsApp and we will send the units available now with updated prices.

The announced payment plan is a down payment from 5% with installments up to 9 years. As an illustration only, for a unit priced at EGP 10 million with a 5% down payment, the down payment is EGP 500,000 and the remaining EGP 9.5 million is paid over 108 months, about EGP 88,000 a month with no interest. The actual schedule is set by the contract. On resale, the buyer negotiates the down payment and installments with the owner, who may ask for a larger first payment.

Handover status differs by unit, so ask about the receipt date or the condition of a delivered unit, and inspect it on site before signing.

The developer: Eastern Developments

Eastern Developments is an Egyptian company operating as Al Sharqiya for Contracting. Its projects concentrate on the Riviera axis in Sheikh Zayed: Genova, Genova West with 768 units on about 20 feddans, and commercial projects such as Eastern El Ghoul and Eastern Plaza. Because the company is both contractor and developer, it builds its own projects, and the buyer should ask for the execution and handover schedule in writing.
