Bloom Island Ogami Ras El Hekma | SODIC's New Phase

About the Bloom Island Phase

Bloom Island is the newest phase launched by SODIC inside its coastal project Ogami in Ras El Hekma, officially announced in September 2026. The phase offers single-storey villas and chalets, all fully finished and with direct water views, so the buyer receives a home ready to live in and use without any additional work. The idea behind Bloom Island is island living: units are arranged so that every villa and every chalet gets an open view of the water, surrounded by green spaces that separate the residential clusters and give them calm and privacy.

Bloom Island sits within the Ogami project, which extends over 440 feddans at kilometre 205 of the Alexandria–Matrouh Road. Ogami is where SODIC relies on a varied mix of homes, chalets, townhouses, twin houses, villas and mansions, with an international partnership with the Nobu brand for the hotel, restaurant and hotel residences. The new phase draws its importance from the type of home it offers: demand for ready-to-live coastal units in Ras El Hekma is growing, and Bloom Island answers that demand with fully finished units that need no waiting after handover.

The Strategic Location of the Bloom Island Phase

Bloom Island lies inside Ogami in the heart of Ras El Hekma, at kilometre 205 of the Alexandria–Matrouh Desert Road, the area that has become the most important destination for investment and development on the North Coast in recent years. The location is close to the Dabaa Corridor, which links the coast to the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, making the drive from Cairo possible in about three hours without passing through Alexandria's traffic. It also sits a short distance from New Alamein City and the International Coastal Road.

The value of the location goes beyond ease of access to what surrounds it. Ras El Hekma today is the centre of Egypt's largest tourism development, with international hotels, a planned airport and services operating year-round, which changes the nature of buying in the area from a summer house into an asset that can be used and rented across longer seasons. Whoever buys in Bloom Island Ogami is buying at the heart of this transformation, on a private 800-metre beach inside a project planned to operate as an integrated destination.

Design and Area of the Bloom Island Phase

Bloom Island forms part of the 440-feddan Ogami project, where 85% of the land is dedicated to green areas, water features and lakes, while buildings occupy only 15%, with lakes spanning 120,000 square metres and an 800-metre beach. Within this frame, the new phase is designed as five independent residential clusters, each with its own architectural character and its own open green spaces separating it from the other clusters.

The master plan of Bloom Island is built on the island idea: units are placed to guarantee every villa and chalet a direct view of the water, and the open spaces between clusters act as a natural extension of the homes rather than as dividers. Balconies are wide and open onto a panoramic view of water and nature, and the large glass facades bring natural light inside and make the outdoor scene part of the room. The green spaces surrounding each cluster give it calm and privacy, and separate residents' daily movement from the rest of the project.

The other side of Bloom Island's design is its low height. The villas are single-storey, and buildings across Ogami do not exceed a ground floor plus two, which keeps views open for every unit and prevents one building from blocking another's outlook. This choice, together with full finishing, means the buyer receives a complete home in a complete setting, not a shell that needs fitting out in a project still under construction.

Unit Types and Sizes in Bloom Island

The Bloom Island phase offers two types of units, both fully finished and equipped with air conditioning as is standard in Ogami, so the buyer needs nothing but furniture. The variety here is in lifestyle rather than in grade: those who want a standalone home on one level find the villa, and those who want a smaller unit with a view and lighter upkeep find the chalet.

• Single-storey villas: standalone homes on one level, with direct water views and full finishing, distinguished by easy movement inside and a smooth flow between the living area, the garden and the terrace without stairs, which suits families with elderly members or those who prefer comfort in a coastal stay.
• Coastal chalets: units that combine efficient use of space, open views and full finishing, with wide terraces overlooking the water, suitable for couples, small families and buyers purchasing for seasonal rental.

The exact sizes of each model are set in the unit sheet according to the cluster and position, and units within Bloom Island are compared on three things: the view (direct water or lake), the distance from the beach and facilities, and the unit's position within its cluster (corner or mid-row). Two units of the same size can differ clearly in price because of these three elements.

Facilities and Services in Bloom Island Ogami

Bloom Island residents benefit from all the facilities of the Ogami project, in addition to the open green spaces belonging to each residential cluster within the phase. The facilities include:

• A private 800-metre beach on the Mediterranean.
• Lakes and lagoons spanning 120,000 square metres, giving units direct water views.
• Nobu hotel, restaurant and residences in the international brand's first appearance in Egypt.
• A beach club on the shore.
• A central clubhouse for residents.
• Multiple swimming pools suited to different ages.
• A gym and fitness hall, plus an outdoor gym on the beach.
• Tennis and padel courts and a range of sports fields.
• A spa and relaxation areas with walking and jogging tracks.
• A commercial area with shops, restaurants and cafés, including a restaurant overlooking the sea directly.
• Open green spaces within each residential cluster of the phase.
• Round-the-clock security with surveillance cameras and electronic gates.

Investment Advantages of the Bloom Island Phase

Investing in Bloom Island combines a location around which the whole market is changing, a developer that can be judged by its delivered projects, and ready homes that generate a return from the day of handover. The main advantages are as follows:

• A location in the heart of Ras El Hekma: the area is turning into a destination that operates all year rather than in summer alone, thanks to the international development project, global hotels and the planned airport, which raises the value of the land and the homes built on it over time.
• A developer listed on the exchange since 1996: SODIC has delivered and occupied communities in Cairo and on the coast that can be visited before buying, and in the first half of 2026 it recorded its highest growth in five years in sales and deliveries.
• Immediate rental with no fit-out cost: units are delivered fully finished with air conditioning, so they enter the seasonal rental market straight away, and water-facing chalets are the most sought-after in that market.
• Scarcity of single-storey villas: this type is rare in Ras El Hekma, and when combined with a direct water view it holds its value on resale better than others.
• The Nobu brand inside the project: the hotel, restaurant and hotel residences under this international brand give Bloom Island a global dimension and attract tenants and buyers from beyond the local market.
• Priority of choice in the first release: buying in the new phase allows choosing the best positions within the five clusters, the units whose prices rise first as the project progresses, and the gap between the first release and later releases in SODIC's coastal projects has consistently favoured early buyers.

Prices, Booking and Payment Plans in Bloom Island

Prices in Bloom Island are set per unit according to its type (villa or chalet), size, position within the residential cluster and view, so they are requested from the sales team as a written offer in the unit's name rather than as a general figure. Payment plans follow those adopted in the Ogami project:

• 5% or 10% down payment of the unit value at contract.
• Instalments on the balance over up to 8 years in equal payments.
• Delivery fully finished with air conditioning according to the schedule set for each unit in the contract.

Booking begins with requesting the unit sheet, which carries the unit number, cluster, size, view, full price, dated payment schedule and delivery date, followed by paying the reservation deposit, which counts towards the down payment. Because the phase is newly launched, units with direct views and corner positions are the first to be booked, and those who move early choose before these options close.

The Developer of the Bloom Island Phase

SODIC for Construction and Real Estate Development is among the leading developers in Egypt and the Middle East, listed on the Egyptian Exchange since 1996, and built its reputation on large integrated communities in West and East Cairo: SODIC West, Beverly Hills and Allegria in Sheikh Zayed, and Eastown, SODIC East and Eastvale in East Cairo, alongside its coastal projects June, Caesar, Karmell and Ogami.

Ogami Ras El Hekma represents the new generation of SODIC's coastal projects, with a design inspired by the Japanese island of Ogami that combines simplicity with the warmth of the Mediterranean, and a partnership with the international Nobu brand in hospitality. Bloom Island adds to the project a ready-to-live home with a direct water view, at a time when the company is achieving its strongest performance in five years, reinforcing buyers' confidence in its commitment to delivery dates and execution quality.
