Waterway West Compound New Zayed
About Waterway West
Waterway West is the latest project by The Waterway Developments and the company's first major step into West Cairo, following its successful projects in New Cairo, the North Coast and the New Administrative Capital. The project sits on 47 feddans in New Sheikh Zayed and offers fully finished residential apartments in four different sizes, alongside a hotel under the My Otel brand and an administrative office zone. In this way, Waterway West brings living, working and hospitality together in one place, a model the company has delivered before in its earlier projects.
The core idea behind Waterway West Compound is water and greenery as part of daily life rather than decoration. Water channels run between the buildings, gardens surround every entrance, and units are designed to open onto a clear view from the balcony. Prices start from EGP 9.6 million, with delivery within three years of contract and payment plans that extend up to nine years. The company has already started collecting Expressions of Interest (EOI) at EGP 250,000 per residential unit for buyers who want priority of choice before the public launch.
The Strategic Location of Waterway West Compound
The Waterway Developments chose New Sheikh Zayed as the site for Waterway West, the fastest-growing district in West Cairo in recent years. The location is close to the Dahshour Link and Mall of Egypt, and connects easily to the 26th of July Corridor, the Dabaa Corridor and the Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road. This road network makes reaching old Sheikh Zayed, 6th of October and central Cairo simple, and links the project to Sphinx International Airport and the Grand Egyptian Museum within minutes.
The value of the location does not come from the roads alone but from the nature of the area itself. New Zayed today hosts some of the largest residential and commercial developments in West Cairo, and its schools, hospitals and malls are completing year after year. This means that whoever buys in Waterway West New Zayed is buying in an area that already works, not one waiting for residents before its services begin.

Design and Area of Waterway West Compound
Waterway West extends over 47 feddans, a mid-sized area that allows a complete community to be built without losing the sense of privacy. The larger share of the land is given to water features, gardens and open space, while the residential buildings, the hotel and the offices occupy the smaller share. This distribution is what characterises the company's projects in general, and it makes Waterway West closer in form to a residential resort than to a group of apartment buildings.
The master plan is built around water. Water channels pass between the residential blocks and create an open scene in front of most balconies, easing the sense of density between the buildings. Landscaped gardens surround the buildings on every side, connected by natural walking paths that reach the pool, the gym and the services area without the need for a car. The hotel and administrative offices are placed in a separate zone within the plan, so residents enjoy hotel-grade services nearby without visitor traffic mixing with the residential area.
The other side of the design of Waterway West Compound is the reliance on fully finished units. The buyer receives an apartment ready for immediate occupancy in a completed setting, saving at least a year of finishing work and its cost. This choice fits the nature of the project, which targets families looking for a permanent home and investors looking for a unit that can be rented out the moment it is handed over.
Unit Types and Sizes in Waterway West
Waterway West offers residential apartments only, in four sizes ranging from one to four bedrooms, all delivered fully finished. The range is planned to suit an individual, a couple, a small family and a large family, with a clear difference in size and price between each model and the next.
- One-bedroom apartment: 87 sqm, suitable for an individual or a couple, and also the best option for buyers purchasing to rent out.
- Two-bedroom apartment: 140 sqm, with a larger living area and an extra room suitable for children or working from home.
- Three-bedroom apartment: 185 sqm, the main family model in the project, with a room for each child and a comfortable reception area.
- Four-bedroom apartment: 232 sqm, the largest unit in Waterway West, suitable for large families or those who want a guest room.
All units are designed to overlook the water or the gardens, and are delivered with full finishing including flooring, walls and bathrooms, so the buyer needs nothing but furniture. Buyers can choose between different floors according to their preference for the view or for closeness to the gardens.
Facilities and Services Inside Waterway West Compound
The company made sure that a Waterway West resident finds daily and leisure needs within the project, alongside hotel and professional services that add value to the whole place. The facilities include:
- A fully equipped gym within walking distance of all units.
- A main swimming pool at the centre of the gardens, forming the main gathering point for residents.
- Water features and channels running between the buildings and giving the units open views.
- Landscaped gardens and green areas surrounding the buildings and linked by walking paths.
- My Otel inside the project, with hospitality services and hotel management serving residents and visitors.
- Administrative offices that give the project a mixed-use character and bring work closer to home.
- Round-the-clock security with electronic gates and surveillance cameras.
- Garages and parking allocated to residents, with separate visitor parking.
- Permanent management and maintenance of facilities and shared areas.
Having a hotel and offices inside a residential project means that the level of service in Waterway West will be higher than that of a conventional compound, and that there is continuous daily activity keeping the place alive and supporting demand for the smaller units.
Investment Advantages of Waterway West
Investing in Waterway West rests on three clear factors. The first is the location in New Zayed, the district with the highest growth rate in West Cairo, with roads and services completing and the airport and the Grand Museum close by. The second is the developer itself: The Waterway Developments has delivered and occupied projects that can be visited in New Cairo to judge finishing quality and management before deciding. The third is the nature of the product: fully finished apartments in sizes the market demands, from one to four bedrooms.
In terms of return, the 87 sqm one-bedroom model in Waterway West is among the easiest units to let, especially with a hotel and offices inside the project providing constant demand for short- and long-term rental. The larger units hold their value over time because the supply of fully finished apartments in mid-sized communities in New Zayed remains limited compared with demand.
Added to this, buying at the EOI stage gives the buyer priority in choosing water-facing units and middle floors, the units that achieve the highest value on resale. And the gap between launch price and public-sale price in most new West Cairo projects has favoured early buyers.
Prices, Booking and Payment Plans in Waterway West Compound
Prices in Waterway West start from EGP 9.6 million for the one-bedroom apartment, with an approximate price per square metre between EGP 110,000 and 111,000 across all models, a consistent pricing that means the difference between units lies in size and position only, not in finishing level. The current prices are as follows:
- One-bedroom apartment (87 sqm): from EGP 9.6 million.
- Two-bedroom apartment (140 sqm): from EGP 15.4 million.
- Three-bedroom apartment (185 sqm): from EGP 20.4 million.
- Four-bedroom apartment (232 sqm): from EGP 25.5 million.
For payment, the company has offered three options to suit different budgets, all with equal instalments and delivery within three years:
- Plan one: 5% down payment at contract, 5% after three months, and the balance over 7 years.
- Plan two: 10% down payment at contract, and the balance over 8 years.
- Plan three: 10% down payment at contract, 5% after three months, and the balance over 9 years.
Booking is currently through an Expression of Interest (EOI) of EGP 250,000 per residential unit, an amount counted towards the down payment at contract. Whoever books at this stage gets priority in choosing the model, the floor and the view before sales open to everyone.
The Developer of Waterway West
The Waterway Developments began operating in 2010, and its name has become associated with a clear architectural style that relies on water and greenery as a core element of design. Its best-known project is The Waterway New Cairo in the Fifth Settlement, a delivered and occupied community combining residences, offices and a commercial zone, which any client can visit to judge the level of execution and management.
The company then expanded into more than one area: The Waterway North Coast, Waterway Capital in the New Administrative Capital, W Signature in the Fifth Settlement, and the W55 mall in New Cairo. Waterway West in New Zayed comes as the company's first major residential project in West Cairo, with the same philosophy its clients know from the east: full finishing, design around water, and hotel and professional services inside the residential community.
