Palm Hills Developments

What Palm Hills Developments does

Palm Hills Developments is a publicly listed Egyptian real estate developer (EGX: PHDC) headquartered in Cairo, founded in 1997, with a headcount in the 1,001–5,000 range. The company develops integrated master-planned communities that combine residential, commercial, and hospitality components across East and West Cairo, Alexandria, the North Coast, and the Red Sea, and is extending into the UAE through the Saadiyat Shores project in Abu Dhabi.

Core products are large-scale, amenity-rich developments rather than discrete units: Badya, a 3,000-acre sustainable and smart city in 6th of October positioned as the company's flagship; a portfolio of Hacienda-branded coastal communities on the North Coast (Heneish, Blue, Ras El Hekma with Miran Hills); established West Cairo and New Capital projects such as Palm Hills One, The Crown Extension, and Village de la Capitale; branded residences via the Marriott International partnership (The St. Regis Hotel & Residences Palm Hills, targeted 2030 opening); and the Palm Hills Sports Club platform spanning East and West Cairo with tennis (Mouratoglou), squash (PSA World Championships), and lifestyle programming.

The business model combines one-time revenue from residential, commercial, and resort unit sales with recurring revenue from hospitality operations (Casa Cook, future St. Regis) and subscription-based sports club memberships. The company reaches affluent end-user buyers through a direct sales force (19743 hotline, "Request A Sales Call" feature), exclusive private viewing events hosted at the Chairman's residence, and brand-aligned hospitality distribution channels. Construction financing is sourced through a recently approved EGP 30 billion securitization program — first tranche of EGP 2.015 billion closed in February 2026 — underwritten by a syndicate led by EFG Hermes alongside National Bank of Egypt, Emirates NBD, Suez Canal Bank, and Arab Banking Corporation. Geographic expansion into Abu Dhabi (USD 5.4 billion Saadiyat Shores) and operational build-out of the education (Badya International University with Taaleem/Maastricht) and telecom (WE Telecom Egypt) ecosystem are the principal forward growth vectors.
