The master plan is organized into several open neighborhoods with spacing for light, ventilation and views, with a focus on walking and fewer cars inside the compound thanks to underground parking.<\/p>\n<p>Standout elements are a series of connected lakes that give it a resort-like look, a clubhouse with indoor and outdoor spaces for all ages, an international hotel inside the compound for guests and short stays, and two commercial zones with shops, restaurants and cafes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17687\" src=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/riverton-new-cairo-2.webp\" alt=\"Lakeside townhouse at Riverton by Mercon\" width=\"1000\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/riverton-new-cairo-2.webp 1000w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/riverton-new-cairo-2-300x210.webp 300w, https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/riverton-new-cairo-2-768x538.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Location of Riverton in the Fifth Settlement<\/h2>\n<p>The project is in the heart of the Fifth Settlement directly opposite the American University and connects to the Gamal Abdel Nasser Axis and North 90th Street.

The apartment suits those who want a lower-cost entry to a site near the American University, and it works for renting out. We compare the monthly installment for both types at the same down payment and tell you what remains of each, because apartments are the smaller share of the project, and preferred floors and orientations may sell out first.<\/p>\n<h2>Riverton prices and payment plans<\/h2>\n<p>Riverton prices start from approximately EGP 5 million as of November 2026, and rise with size and from the apartment to the townhouse. The available plan:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5% down payment.<\/li>\n<li>Installments up to 8 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As an approximate example, a EGP 8 million unit with 5% down over 8 years needs about EGP 400,000 at booking, with the balance spread over 8 years at roughly EGP 79,000 a month before any annual payments. We send the actual schedule for the unit you choose on WhatsApp.<\/p>\n<h2>The developer: Mercon Developments<\/h2>\n<p>The project is developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/westcapital-eg.com\/en\/developer\/mercon-developments\/\">Mercon Developments<\/a>, an Egyptian company active in residential and commercial projects. We show you what the company has built and the construction status on site before you book, and we review the contract with you.<\/p>\n<h2>Amenities and services<\/h2>\n<p>Services are spread across leisure, shopping and accommodation, notably the international hotel that serves residents&#8217; guests and short-stay occupants, and the two commercial zones that remove the need to leave for daily shopping. The list includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A clubhouse with indoor and outdoor spaces for all ages.<\/li>\n<li>A series of connected lakes and pools.<\/li>\n<li>An international hotel inside the compound.<\/li>\n<li>Two commercial zones with shops, restaurants and cafes.<\/li>\n<li>A shared gym and spa and jogging and cycling paths.<\/li>\n<li>Underground parking.<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 security, CCTV and smart home technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who Riverton suits and what to check before booking<\/h2>\n<p>Riverton suits buyers wanting a house or apartment near the American University in a compound dominated by townhouses, and those aiming to rent to student and staff families, since closeness to the university supports demand for units.
