Before you buy in Egypt, know what a metre really costs: EGP 140,000 for a retail shop, and EGP 92,150 for an administrative unit, and EGP 100,000 for a medical unit, computed across 2,923 units genuinely for sale. This is your negotiating number — hold any offer up against it before you sign.
The table gives you the whole range rather than one number: the lower quartile, the median and the upper quartile for each unit type in Egypt. If the offer on your table sits above the upper quartile, ask what justifies it; if it sits below the lower one, ask about the floor and the frontage. And call us for today's price on the unit you want.

The gap between Egypt's priciest and cheapest districts for a retail metre is more than double — and it is a gap in location value, not build quality. Compare the districts below and pick the one that pairs a price you can afford with the footfall your business needs.

The price-per-metre index for Egypt is not a theoretical estimate: it is computed from the prices of real units inside the projects below, which are the largest contributors to the calculation, at current release prices.
These questions about the commercial and administrative price-per-metre index in Egypt are what buyers actually ask, and each answer is built on the median of our priced units dated August 2026 rather than on general estimates.
Before you buy in Egypt, know what a metre really costs: EGP 140,000 for a retail shop, and EGP 92,150 for an administrative unit, and EGP 100,000 for a medical unit, computed across 2,923 units genuinely for sale. This is your negotiating number — hold any offer up against it before you sign.
Commercial property prices are long-tailed: one exceptionally priced unit pulls an arithmetic mean away from the market. The median is the price half the units sit above and half below, which is closer to what a buyer actually pays. We publish the 25th and 75th percentiles alongside it so the spread is visible rather than hidden behind a single number.
Floor first: ground level commands more per metre because it leases fastest and has the most footfall. Then frontage and its width, then proximity to entrances and lifts. So estimating a unit by multiplying its area by an area median is unreliable — the median is a negotiating starting point, not a final price.
Start from the area median for your unit type, then ask what justifies any gap: a ground floor with frontage on the main walkway earns a premium; an upper floor away from the entrances does not. And because prices move with every release phase, call the sales hotline on +20 111 199 1929 for today's price on the unit you want — and we will negotiate it for you.
