The Central Gate October Gardens

The Central Gate October Gardens is the second project in the Egyptian market from Marsoum Developments. It is a mixed-use project on 80 feddans, directly on the Middle Ring Road in October Gardens. It was launched at a ceremony at the Grand Egyptian Museum on 8 September 2026, with investments of up to EGP 50 billion. It quickly became one of the most searched projects in West Cairo, thanks to prices starting from about EGP 1.2 to 1.8 million, a down payment of only 5% and payment periods of up to 12 years.

About the project

The Central Gate brings living, working, shopping and services together in one community. It has residential, commercial, administrative and service components, spread over 80 feddans in roughly equal shares between the residential zone and the commercial and services zone (as of October 2026). The company presents it as an “integrated community” and not just a residential compound. Marsoum chairman Ayman Embabi said: “At Marsoum we wanted The Central Gate to be more than just a real estate project.”

As of October 2026, construction started on 21 September 2026 and units are due for delivery in June 2029 (the second quarter of 2029).

The urban design separates traffic between the residential zone and the activities zone. Residents get calm and privacy inside the compound, while the shops, clinics and offices stay on the outer frontages facing the Middle Ring Road, serving the whole area. This split gives the buyer two opportunities in one project: a competitively priced home in a fast-growing area, or a commercial unit in a location with heavy traffic.

Location of The Central Gate October Gardens

The Central Gate compound is in October Gardens, part of 6th of October City, with direct frontage on the Middle Ring Road. This road links West Cairo with the Regional Ring Road, Wahat Road and the 26th of July Corridor. The location offers the following (September and October 2026):

• Close to Wahat Road, Juhayna Square and the 26th of July Corridor.
• About 5 minutes from the centre of 6th of October City.
• About 10 minutes from the Cairo-Alexandria Desert Road and Mall of Egypt.
• About 15 minutes from the Smart Village.
• About 30 minutes from the Grand Egyptian Museum and Sphinx International Airport (as of October 2026).

October Gardens is today one of the fastest-growing areas of West Cairo, after the completion of the new road network, the start of transport lines linking it to 6th of October City, and the arrival of a number of major developers in 2025 and 2026. The Central Gate draws on this momentum with entry prices lower than Sheikh Zayed and old October projects and with longer payment periods. That makes it suitable for people looking for a first home or a lower-risk investment.

The developer

Marsoum Developments is a recent entrant to the Egyptian market, formed through a partnership between chairman Ayman Embabi and executive board member Sayed Saber. At its start it announced an investment plan of more than EGP 20 billion. Its first project is “Smouha Gate” in Alexandria, in partnership with the New Urban Communities Authority, and The Central Gate is its second project and its first in Greater Cairo. Sayed Saber says: “We believe flexibility has become an essential part of a property decision.” That explains the range of payment plans in the project.
