ZED Towers Sheikh Zayed | Prices & Units 2026

Prepared by: Estate View Real Estate Research Team
Last updated: August 12, 2026

ZED Towers Sheikh Zayed is part of the wider ZED El Sheikh Zayed mixed-use destination by ORA Developers in the heart of Sheikh Zayed City, West Cairo.

The development extends over approximately 165 feddans or 693,000 sqm, including around 100 feddans of residential development and 65 feddans dedicated to ZED Park. ORA's official master-plan data currently lists approximately 4,700 apartments, 37,100 sqm of retail space and 77,100 sqm allocated to offices and clinics.

ZED is positioned directly on Al Nozha Road, with convenient access to the 26th of July Corridor and Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road, making it one of the most centrally located modern residential developments in Sheikh Zayed City.

2026 availability update: Estate View currently displays a starting-price indicator of approximately EGP 11.064 million. ORA does not publish a live public price list on its international project page, while current first-sale and resale inventory varies significantly according to phase, apartment size, finishing, delivery and remaining installments.

ZED should also no longer be described purely as an off-plan project. ORA officially announced the beginning of residential tower handovers in December 2023, while other buildings and phases continue to have later delivery schedules.

ZED Towers Sheikh Zayed Location

ZED El Sheikh Zayed occupies a highly central location in Sheikh Zayed City, directly visible from Al Nozha Road.

ORA's official description highlights its proximity to:

• Al Nozha Road.
• 26th of July Corridor.
• Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road.
• Central Sheikh Zayed residential neighborhoods.
• West Cairo's commercial and business districts.

This location makes ZED particularly relevant to buyers whose daily lives are connected to:

• Sheikh Zayed.
• 6th of October City.
• Smart Village.
• West Cairo business districts.
• Cairo–Alexandria Desert Road.
• Mohandessin and Lebanon Square via the 26th of July Corridor.

Travel times should always be tested during normal working hours because Sheikh Zayed traffic conditions can materially change the actual journey.

ZED El Sheikh Zayed Master Plan

ORA's official master plan currently divides the 165-feddan destination into two major components:

The park forms the core of the development and extends into interconnected landscaped courtyards between residential buildings.

The result is not simply a collection of high-rise buildings. ZED combines:

• Residential towers.
• Park Side residences.
• Landscaped courtyards.
• Retail.
• Restaurants and cafés.
• Offices.
• Clinics.
• Sports facilities.
• Entertainment areas.
• Parking.

How Large Is ZED Park?

ZED Park occupies approximately 65 feddans within the wider 165-feddan development.

ORA describes ZED Park as the largest green space in its surrounding area and uses it as the central recreational and sporting component of ZED El Sheikh Zayed.

The park supports activities including:

• Walking.
• Jogging.
• Fitness.
• Yoga.
• Organized sports.
• Social events.
• Family activities.
• Entertainment.

Apartment buyers should still confirm whether the selected unit has a direct park view, partial park view, courtyard view or internal view rather than assuming all ZED units overlook the park.

How Many Apartments Are in ZED Sheikh Zayed?

ORA's current official product mix lists approximately 4,700 apartments across ZED El Sheikh Zayed.

The residential offering spans multiple buildings and phases, so unit layouts can vary considerably.

Depending on current inventory and resale availability, buyers may find:

• One-bedroom apartments.
• Two-bedroom apartments.
• Three-bedroom apartments.
• Four-bedroom apartments.
• Loft-style units.
• Duplex configurations.
• Penthouses.
• Garden apartments in selected buildings.
• Branded multifamily residences.

ZED Towers Unit Sizes

There is no single current public ORA size schedule covering every ZED phase.

Existing and current market inventory demonstrates a broad size range, with apartments appearing from smaller one-bedroom formats of approximately 60–80 sqm through family apartments of 100–200 sqm and larger duplex or penthouse configurations.

Recent market inventory in 2026 includes examples such as:

• Approximately 75–81 sqm one-bedroom units.
• Approximately 102–144 sqm two-bedroom units.
• Approximately 125–168 sqm family apartments.
• Approximately 190–200+ sqm larger apartments and lofts.

The exact availability sheet should control the published area range on Estate View rather than older general project descriptions.

ZED Towers Prices 2026

Estate View currently displays a starting-price indicator of approximately EGP 11.064 million.

However, this should be described as an Estate View inventory indicator rather than an official ORA-wide starting price because ORA's current public project page does not display a live price list.

The 2026 market contains a combination of:

• Ready-to-move resale apartments.
• Near-delivery resale contracts.
• First-sale units from active releases.
• Units with old installment schedules.
• Cash resale units.

Why Do ZED Prices Vary So Much?

Two ZED apartments with similar areas can have very different asking prices because of:

• Building and phase.
• Floor.
• Park or landscape view.
• Ready-to-move vs off-plan status.
• Original contract date.
• Remaining installments.
• Finishing package.
• Air-conditioning units.
• Kitchen cabinetry.
• Parking allocation.
• Payment period.
• Seller premium in resale units.

How Should You Compare ZED Resale and First Sale?

ZED Sheikh Zayed Payment Plans

The older Estate View content refers to a 10% down payment and six-year installment plan. That structure should no longer be presented as the single payment plan for ZED in 2026.

Payment structures have changed across different releases.

Recent 2026 first-sale market inventory has advertised examples including:

• Approximately 5% initial payment.
• Long installment schedules reaching around 10 years in selected releases.
• Delivery after approximately four years in certain newly offered units.

Other phases and resale units have completely different financial structures.

What to Request Before Booking

• Cash price.
• Installment price.
• Initial down payment.
• Second payment if applicable.
• Quarterly installments.
• Annual installments.
• Handover payment.
• Maintenance deposit.
• Parking charges.
• Club or service fees.
• Total payable amount until the final installment.

Has ZED Sheikh Zayed Been Delivered?

Yes. ZED El Sheikh Zayed has already started delivering residential units.

ORA officially announced the beginning of residential tower handovers in December 2023.

This means the Estate View project card should not use:

Delivery Date: January 2028

as if it applies to the whole project.

A better project-level description is:

Delivery: Partially delivered; remaining dates vary by building and phase.

Individual property pages should then carry the exact delivery or handover date for each unit.

Ready-to-Move Apartments in ZED

The presence of delivered buildings creates an active ready and resale market inside ZED.

Recent 2026 listings include fully finished apartments that are already delivered or ready for near-term handover.

Before buying a ready unit, check:

• Handover certificate.
• Maintenance status.
• Utility meters.
• Parking allocation.
• Finishing condition.
• Air conditioners.
• Kitchen cabinets.
• Any outstanding installments.
• Transfer approval.

Finishing in ZED Towers

Many ZED apartments are offered as fully finished, and current resale inventory frequently includes:

• Finished flooring.
• Completed bathrooms.
• Finished doors and windows.
• Air-conditioning units in selected contracts.
• Kitchen cabinets in selected units.

The technical specification differs between release dates and buildings, so buyers should request the original finishing appendix for the exact apartment.

ZED Towers Facilities

ORA's official ZED product information includes:

• ZED Park.
• Underground and surface parking.
• Secured gated community.
• Retail areas.
• Offices.
• Clinics.
• Clubhouse.
• Amusement and entertainment facilities.
• Public central parks.
• Different residential unit types.

Retail at ZED Sheikh Zayed

ORA currently lists approximately 37,100 sqm of retail space, including components such as ZED Strip and Towers Mall.

This creates access to:

• Restaurants.
• Cafés.
• Shops.
• Daily services.
• Lifestyle retail.
• Entertainment.

Residents buying primarily for walkable services should confirm the walking distance from the selected building rather than assuming every tower has the same proximity to retail.

Offices and Clinics at ZED

The official master-plan data includes approximately 77,100 sqm allocated to offices and clinics.

This mixed-use element is important because ZED is designed as an urban quarter rather than a residential compound that depends entirely on external Sheikh Zayed services.

The presence of offices and clinics can create additional daytime activity, but it does not guarantee rental performance for any particular residential unit.

Parking at ZED Towers

ORA officially lists both underground and surface parking within the master plan.

Before booking an apartment, confirm:

• Whether the unit includes a dedicated parking slot.
• Parking location.
• Additional parking charges.
• Visitor parking.
• Parking access to the selected tower.

ZED Sports and Lifestyle

Sport is one of the central elements of the ZED Park concept.

Activities and facilities within the wider destination are designed around:

• Fitness.
• Jogging.
• Yoga.
• Sports training.
• Organized competitions.
• Family activities.
• Social events.

ZED's park-centered planning is one of the key differences between the project and more traditional residential tower developments.

Is ZED Towers a Residential or Mixed-Use Project?

This distinction is important when updating the Estate View project card.

ZED Towers themselves are primarily residential, but ZED El Sheikh Zayed as a complete master plan is mixed-use.

The official project includes:

• Residential apartments.
• Retail.
• Offices.
• Clinics.
• Entertainment.
• Sports.

Therefore, the project card can remain Residential if the page is specifically intended to represent the residential towers, while the written description should clearly state that they form part of the wider ZED mixed-use destination.

• Large green space.
• Sports.
• Retail.
• Restaurants and cafés.
• Offices and clinics.

Is ZED Towers Suitable for Investment?

ZED may suit buyers looking for a centrally located Sheikh Zayed apartment with an active ready-to-move and resale market.

• Finishing.
• Cash required at purchase.
• Remaining installments.
• Maintenance.

• Parking.
• Furniture if rented furnished.
• Broker and management fees.

Do not use a fixed advertised rental-return percentage for all ZED apartments.
