Palm Hills Developments — Shaping Egypt’s Urban Future
From Palm Hills October in 6th of October City to Palm Hills New Cairo in East Cairo, from the North Coast icons Hacienda Bay, Hacienda West, Hacienda Waters (Ras El Hekma), Hacienda Heneish, Hacienda White, Hacienda Red, and Hacienda Blue, to Palm Hills New Alamein and Palm Hills Ain Sokhna, Palm Hills Developments has spent more than two decades crafting upscale communities across Egypt’s key destinations. Add to that Palm Hills Alexandria, VGK – Village Gardens Katameya, The Village, Village Avenue, The Village Gate, and business landmarks like Crown Central and Palm Hills New Alamein Mall, and you begin to see the breadth of a developer that builds more than beautiful homes — it builds fully integrated lifestyles where architecture, greenery, and community pulse in harmony.
Vision & Legacy
Palm Hills Developments didn’t set out merely to sell homes; it set out to compose places — spaces where families could grow, neighbors could connect, and everyday life could feel artfully designed. Founded in 1997 (originally as Etihadeya and rebranded in 2005 by Mansour and Maghraby Investment and Development Company), the company flourished under the vision of Yasseen Mansour, expanding into a portfolio that now includes 35+ landmark projects across Egypt.
From the earliest plans, Palm Hills pursued a philosophy that luxury must be livable. The communities carry a signature rhythm: generous green belts, walkable streets, human-scaled architecture, and amenities that make a neighborhood feel whole. In West Cairo, Palm Hills October and its sister developments infused the desert edge with landscaped serenity and social energy. Along the North Coast, Hacienda Bay became a statement of modern Mediterranean life — beach-chic, glamorous, and gloriously social. In New Cairo, PK1 (Palm Hills Katameya), Palm Hills New Cairo, and VGK brought a refined East Cairo sensibility — polished, green, and well-connected.
These places were never accidents. They are the result of careful land curation — 34.6+ million sqm across strategic locations — and a design ethos that insists on balance: the soft edges of parks and lakes meeting the clean lines of contemporary facades; the buzz of retail promenades tempered by quiet residential pockets; the convenience of schools and clinics sitting a stroll away from a morning espresso.
Palm Hills’ nine international awards underscore what residents already know: the developer’s standards are exacting. But awards don’t raise children or plant roots. Neighborhoods do. And that, more than any trophy, is the legacy — communities that hold life well.
Design Philosophy & Innovation
Design, to Palm Hills, is a conversation. Between light and shade. Between privacy and openness. Between personal retreat and collective place. Homes tend to use natural palettes, honest materials, and generous glazing; landscapes are layered for texture — palms and grasses, water and stone; paths are intuitive, leading you to a clubhouse terrace, a neighborhood pocket park, a boutique grocer, a yoga deck.
Innovation lives in masterplanning as much as in gadgets. The developer’s “city-within-a-city” thinking shows in Badya Palm Hills — an integrated 3,000-acre vision with distinct districts, learning hubs, culture, sports, and health carefully choreographed. In the Hacienda family on the North Coast, innovation feels like leisure reimagined: water parks and lagoons, beach clubs and boutiques, cabana-lined sunrise runs and sunset dinners where sand drifts and conversation lingers.
Sustainability isn’t a badge; it’s a bias — toward ventilation and natural light, toward drought-tolerant landscapes, toward shaded walking routes and cycling ease. The invisible choices — orientation, setbacks, the position of a window — are what make a home cooler, a street calmer, a place more human. That’s the kind of innovation Palm Hills quietly excels at: making good living feel effortless.
Contribution to Egypt’s Real Estate Landscape
There’s a reason names like Palm Hills October, Hacienda Bay, and Palm Hills New Cairo come up whenever people discuss where to live, invest, or spend a summer. The company hasn’t just kept pace with Egypt’s urban expansion — it has shaped it:
- West Cairo ( 6th of October City & El Sheikh Zayed City): A patchwork of upscale, green-led compounds with serious amenities — sports clubs, retail spines, and everyday services — stitched together so the area functions like a cohesive city.
- East Cairo ( New Cairo City & New Capital extension): Elegant density, premium finishing, and a more urban rhythm that still folds in parks and promenades.
- North Coast: The “Hacienda” signature — stylish, social, Mediterranean — helped reset expectations for what a coastal community can be.
- New Alamein, Alexandria & Ain Sokhna: Urban-meets-resort propositions that extend the brand’s DNA beyond the traditional triangle of West/East Cairo + North Coast.
The net effect: Palm Hills helped normalize integrated living — where you can keep your day-to-day within fifteen minutes: schooling, grocery, gym, medical, coffee, friends, and a little green view before bed. This is city-making, not just development.
Compounds by Palm Hills Developments
Below is a curated, shuffled tour of Palm Hills communities and destinations — not a list to tick off, but a series of distinct stories tied by one promise: life designed with care.
Badya Palm Hills — 6th of October City
A city of the future, spread across 3,000 acres and orchestrated into six districts, Badya isn’t a compound so much as a framework for living. You notice it in the diversity of homes — elegant apartments for first-time buyers, generous villas for families who host; in the comfort of knowing education, healthcare, sports, and culture are integrated, not added after. Green corridors knit the place together. Jogging paths and cycle lanes make mornings lighter. Evenings belong to the clubhouse terrace — the light falling warm over parks, the conversation drifting lazily. Badya shows how masterplanning can soften a city’s edge and make daily life feel coherent.
Palm Hills October — 6th of October City
The name that launched a movement in West Cairo. Palm Hills October marries landscaped serenity with cosmopolitan verve: villas with long lawns and trees that grow into children’s memories; apartments and penthouses that keep you closer to the heartbeat. Here, the community isn’t a slogan — it’s the tennis courts booked at dawn, the Saturday grocery run that turns into a neighborly chat, the festival lights in winter. It’s the comfort of being known where you live.
Bamboo III — Modern Simplicity in 6th of October
Bamboo III is one of Palm Hills’ distinctive residential communities in 6th of October City. Designed to balance modern functionality with everyday comfort, the compound offers a curated mix of apartments and duplexes set amidst landscaped greenery. Its location provides residents with easy access to Palm Hills’ broader ecosystem in West Cairo, while maintaining a private, community-focused feel. Bamboo III is ideal for young families and professionals seeking an accessible entry point into Palm Hills’ lifestyle without compromising on quality, security, or the sense of belonging that defines all Palm Hills communities.
Palm Parks Compound — 6th of October City
Over 475,000 sqm of contemporary living in a garden city. Palm Parks is where modern facades meet a tapestry of lawns, ornamental lakes, and shaded benches. Apartments and duplexes look out to green views; penthouses hold sunsets on their terraces. People come for the sleek vibe, but they stay for the easy rituals: coffee on the way to work, a lap in the pool at dusk, a stroll to the retail spine for a late bite.
Palm Hills Golf Extension — 6th of October City
Serenity with a club mindset. Standalone villas and townhouses are carefully placed to protect privacy and view. This is for those who want mornings that open to fairway green, and afternoons that end at the clubhouse with something crisp and cold, the sun sliding down behind a line of palms. The design is subtle: architecture that recedes, landscape that speaks.
Palm Hills Golf Views — 6th of October City
Only 20 luxury villas. Exclusivity here is not loud — it’s considered. Wide glass for light, deep eaves for shade, terraces for long lunches. Finishes are tactile and honest. Every line is there because it should be. There’s a quiet thrill to living in a place where detail is the main amenity.
PX Palm Hills — 6th of October City
Set atop the highest hill in the city over 373 acres, PX October feels like a balcony over West Cairo. Apartments, duplexes, penthouses, villas, and townhouses step with the terrain, so views become part of daily life. You sense the city without being swallowed by it — the best kind of elevated living.
Palm Valley — 6th of October City
56.8 acres of sunlit homes — standalone villas, twin houses, and townhouses that privilege space, daylight, and flow. Palm Valley is family logic at its best: a home that works Monday to Friday and opens to laughter on weekends. A place built for rituals that make life yours.
Woodville — 6th of October City
69 acres where greenery and water take the lead. Villas and townhouses are set within a soft landscape of lawns, paths, and shimmering water features. You feel the temperature drop under the trees. You hear the hush that only layered planting can make. Coming home here feels like stepping offstage.
Palm Hills New Cairo — New Cairo
A 500-acre sanctuary in East Cairo, masterplanned to be green, generous, and connected. The mix — chic apartments to grand villas — means life phases can all fit. Walkways stitch neighborhoods to parks and play; fitness and leisure options are built-in. It’s where modern Cairo exhales.
Palm Hills Katameya (PK1) — New Cairo
110 acres of timeless luxury. Standalone villas, twins, and apartments sit within lush belts and quiet streets. PK1 is about caliber — the feel of a hand-finished detail, the way a staircase floats, the confidence of a home that won’t date.
Palm Hills Katameya Extension — New Cairo
An elegant continuation of PK1, adding new product and polished services while keeping the same DNA: calm, green, refined. It extends not only the map, but the experience.
New Capital Gardens — New Cairo Extension
62 acres that reinterpret apartment life: generous lobbies, landscaped courtyards, and shared spaces that actually invite use — outdoor reading corners, BBQ pads, play lawns that glow under evening lights. A serene choice for those who like their urban life with a hush.
VGK – Village Gardens Katameya — New Cairo
A neighborhood that understands mixed routines: work, workout, wind-down. Parks are not leftover patches; they’re designed destinations. Amenities lean into well-being and productivity, which is why investors and end-users both love it.
