Menorca New Capital

Menorca New Capital is a residential compound by Mardev Developments in District R8 of the New Administrative Capital. It covers about 17.64 feddans with a building ratio of no more than 19.5%. Construction is well advanced as of October 2026, and delivery runs to 2028 at the latest depending on the phase, with earlier handover for some phases. Note that this is a different project from Menorca in New Zayed, even though the name and the developer are the same.

About Menorca New Capital

The project has 17 residential buildings in three architectural models (A, B and C) and about 738 units (the count may reach about 740). The low building density leaves about 80% of the land for gardens, artificial lagoons and services, which sets Menorca apart from many of the more crowded projects in District R8.

Units are delivered semi-finished as standard. Full super lux finishing is available by agreement at contracting, with the price difference paid on top. Figures on construction progress vary: one source puts completion above 90%, a number we recommend verifying with a site visit.

Location of Menorca New Capital

The project sits on plot L4 in District R8, overlooking the district’s central park, and is minutes from the southern Mohamed Bin Zayed Axis. The Green River is a few minutes away. The Government District, ministries and embassies are about 10 minutes by car, and the capital’s international airport is about 20 to 30 minutes away depending on the road. It also faces plots set aside for international hotels. Explore the areas of the New Administrative Capital to compare District R8 with its neighbors.

Prices at Menorca New Capital

Prices at Menorca start from EGP 4.95 million for a two-bedroom apartment of about 110 sqm on installments, as of October 2026. Prices vary by size, model and floor:

• Two-bedroom apartments (110 to 129 sqm): from EGP 4.95 million to about EGP 5.8 million.
• Three-bedroom apartments (160 to 163 sqm): about EGP 6.3 to 6.5 million.
• Four-bedroom apartments (200 to 272 sqm): about EGP 8.7 to 10.5 million.
• Average price per meter between EGP 38,000 and 45,000 depending on unit type.

Resale units are listed at prices that differ from the developer’s, so do not compare the two without confirming the area and the finishing.

Payment Plans and Delivery

The announced plan is a 10% down payment with equal installments over up to 8 years, and terms change with the unit and booking date. A cash discount of up to 35% is also announced, and it varies by phase.

Delivery is in 2028 at the latest depending on the phase and unit. The first phase is delivered immediately (units of 129 to 193 sqm), and the final phases are handed over within one to two years of contracting. We recommend getting the delivery date for your specific unit in writing before paying.

The Developer

The developer is Mardev Developments. The company says it was founded in 1989 and has more than 30 years of experience in contracting and development. Mardev has another project with the same name in New Zayed, Menorca New Zayed, which differs from the New Capital project in location, prices and stage.

Services and Facilities

The announced facilities inside the compound include:

• A health club with a gym, sauna, jacuzzi and spa.
• Several swimming pools, a social club, sports courts and jogging and cycling tracks.
• A commercial mall, hypermarket, restaurants, cafes and a cinema.
• Clinics, a pharmacy, an international school or nursery and a mosque.
• A children’s play area and a pet area.
• Garages for residents, visitor parking, 24-hour security, cameras and electronic gates.
• A specialized management company for maintenance and cleaning.

Who Menorca Suits

The project suits families looking for mid-sized homes of 110 to 200 sqm in a well-served residential district, and those who prefer low density and gardens over the cheapest units. It also suits investors who want to buy a semi-finished unit and finish it themselves or by agreement with the company. Anyone who wants fully finished, immediate handover should confirm which units are actually ready and their announced finishing prices, because the gap between a semi-finished and a super lux unit can be large.

Menorca Compared with Alternatives in the Capital

When comparing Menorca with compounds in Districts R7 and R8, look at three measures: the real price per meter after finishing, the share of green space (Menorca stands out here with about 80%), and the actual handover date. You can compare it with projects such as Botanica and La Riva, which are in the same part of the capital, keeping in mind that the price bracket differs from one project to another.

Notes Before You Book

Check the plot number and the model (A, B or C), because prices and sizes differ between them, and ask where the building sits relative to the central park and the commercial mall. Ask for the payment schedule in writing, with the actual down payment percentage, any extra payments at handover and the maintenance deposit. Make sure the unit offered to you belongs to the Menorca project in the New Administrative Capital and not a project with the same name in another city.
