Sawiris said in TV interview that Egypt’s real estate sector is facing mounting pressures that have affected buying and selling activity, amid rising construction costs and broader inflationary trends. He noted that developers are working to introduce practical solutions to sustain market momentum and continue attracting both investors and end-users. According to Sawiris, maintaining market stability now depends on adapting to shifting purchasing power and consumer preferences. “As one of the major real estate developers in Egypt, we are currently working on decreasing residential unit sizes to ensure affordability for a broad segment of society,” he said. Industry observers say the move toward downsized units reflects a broader structural shift in Egypt’s real estate market, where flexibility in design and pricing is becoming essential for sustaining growth under challenging economic conditions.
