The W55 New Cairo project reimagines the workplace as a complete destination. It is not just a set of separate office buildings: it also includes retail space, serviced residential units, the MY ŌTEL hotel and open areas centred on a large central park. The project sits opposite Waterway Compound in the 5th Settlement, with direct access to New Cairo's main axes.
The Waterway Developments is developing the project on 55 feddans, and the launch began with offices and administrative headquarters ranging from mid-sized units to entire buildings suited to large companies. Office areas on offer start from around 130 m², with payment plans of up to eight years and a target delivery in 2030.

The Concept Behind W55 New Cairo
W55 is built around what Waterway describes as a Business Resort: a business environment that brings offices, services and hospitality together within a masterplan surrounded by green space. The design aims to provide a place for work, meetings and receiving clients, with areas to relax, stroll and dine, far from the usual look of closed office complexes.
The project is made up of two connected levels:
- The upper level holds the office buildings, company headquarters, retail activities and hospitality components.
- The lower level holds the central park, pedestrian paths, and seating and gathering areas.
This separation keeps business traffic organised, while the open spaces remain available to employees and visitors without heavy car traffic running through them.

Project Area and Masterplan
W55 Waterway extends over 55 feddans, centred on a central park of around 40,233 m², alongside a water feature of roughly 10,938 m². A circular bridge links the different parts of the project, making it easier to move between the buildings and the open areas.
The masterplan arranges the buildings in connected clusters, each with its own courtyard and landscaped areas. The offices also enjoy views over the park or the water feature, rather than facing entirely onto internal roads and neighbouring buildings.
The project's architectural identity shows through:
- Modern geometric facades.
- White sun breakers that reduce the facades' exposure to direct heat.
- Glazed areas that let in natural light.
- Standalone office buildings that can be used as company headquarters.
- Entrances and courtyards serving each group of buildings.
- Car parking on the lower levels.
- Pedestrian paths linking the offices to the services and the park.

Unit Types in W55
The project combines administrative, commercial and serviced residential uses, but the first launch focuses mainly on offices and administrative headquarters.
Administrative Offices
Office areas start from around 130 m². This size suits consultancies, service firms, professional offices and organisations that need an independent headquarters in New Cairo.
Areas then scale up to suit larger companies, with the option of an office that includes a reception area and separate rooms for management, meetings and staff workspaces.
Standalone Office Buildings
W55 offers entire buildings for sale, aimed at companies, banks and institutions that need a head office carrying their own identity. The launch has included buildings with built-up areas of around 4,500 m², while the areas allocated to some larger headquarters reach higher levels depending on the building.
This category gives a company better control over how it arranges its departments, reception and internal services, instead of working on a shared floor with more than one organisation.
Retail Units
The project includes space for shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday services. Retail businesses benefit from having employees, residents, hotel guests and visitors all within the same destination.
Choosing a retail unit depends on the nature of the business: a restaurant needs technical fit-out and an operating area that differ from those of a retail store or a service that supports the offices.
Serviced Residential Units
The masterplan includes serviced residential units that provide accommodation close to the business areas and services. This type of unit serves anyone who needs flexible accommodation in New Cairo, whether for personal use or to host staff and managers for set periods.
MY ŌTEL W55 Hotel
The hotel is part of the project's hospitality components, adding accommodation, meeting services and facilities for receiving corporate visitors. A distinction should be made between the hotel services available to hotel guests and those included in the use of office owners or residential unit owners.

Office Design in W55
The offices are designed with interior areas that allow more than one way of dividing the space, so a company can build closed offices or open workspaces depending on its headcount and the nature of its business. The glazed facades also help provide natural light and wider views of the outdoor spaces.
An office should not be chosen on area alone, as other factors affect how efficiently it can be used, including:
- The proportion of the area that can be partitioned.
- The number of entrances and their location.
- The shape of the unit and the column layout.
- The orientation of the facade.
- The office's proximity to the lifts.
- The number of parking spaces.
- The reception area required.
- The possibility of allocating meeting rooms.
- The finishing level and technical fit-out.
When buying a whole office building, review the efficiency of the floor layouts, the staff and visitor entrances, the service areas and the possibility of placing your brand on the facade.

W55 Waterway Prices
Office prices start from around 22.75 million EGP for an area of roughly 130 m², while other units start from about 30 million EGP depending on the area, the payment plan and the launch date.

- The view over the park or the water feature.
- The floor.
- The unit type: an office, a standalone headquarters or a whole building.
- The finishing specifications.
- The number of parking spaces.

Investing in W55 5th Settlement
The investment case for W55 rests on its location within an active business district and on the variety of its users: companies, residents, hotel guests and visitors to the retail businesses. The standalone buildings also offer a product suited to organisations that prefer to own an entire headquarters rather than rent space across more than one project.
Factors that influence the investment decision include:
- The availability of offices in sizes suited to mid-sized and large companies.
- Open spaces and services that support the daily working environment.
- Easy access from New Cairo's main axes.
- A mix of uses within the project.
- The option of buying an independent office or a large headquarters.
- The developer's experience in administrative and commercial projects in New Cairo.
- An extended payment period relative to the delivery date.

The Waterway Developments
The Waterway Developments develops a number of residential, administrative and commercial projects, with an important part of its work concentrated in New Cairo. Its experience shows in projects such as The Waterway, 5A, W Signature and The View Waterway, alongside other projects in East and West Cairo and the North Coast.
With W55, the company moves from developing a single office building or shopping centre to creating a complete business district over a large area. This shows in the large share of land set aside for the central park and the water feature, and in arranging the offices in clusters with their own courtyards and services.
