CityGate master plan: what it includes and how its projects fit together

The Ripples and Jade Hills brochures print that the master plan spans over 8.5 million m²; the Sapphire Residences brochure says the amenities are distributed across 8.5 million square metres. No brochure we hold prints the area in feddans, the total number of units or the share of green space, so we give no figure for those.

The idea in the developer's wording is a self-sustained city of villas and luxury apartments, all with views of the golf course, green spaces and parks. Around the homes the developer lists a signature golf course, schools, international hotels, a sports club, business parks, medical facilities, entertainment and community centres. The brochure tagline is 'A Place for the Best in You'.

This page sets out each component as printed and shows where the brochures agree and where they differ. The site you are reading is run by an independent real-estate marketer, not by the developer.

Here the developer's brochures print two different figures. The Jade Hills brochure says four thoughtfully designed parks; the LEVEL Business District brochure says the masterplan includes five and calls them the Ring Parks. Neither explains the difference, so we do not adopt a single number and simply note that the plan has ring parks, as the legend shows.

What the brochures agree on is what the parks contain: food and beverage outlets, tennis and sports courts, bicycle lanes and kids' play areas. The Ripples brochure adds a general description of expansive parks, lush greenery, jogging trails and family-friendly parks within walking distance of the homes.

The order the brochures present is: Qatari Diar as developer, CityGate New Cairo as the master development, Sapphire Residences as a residential addition to it, Ripples as a part of Sapphire Residences that its brochure places in a secluded pocket of it, and Type E as the only building type the Ripples brochure covers. The brochure does not say whether Ripples has other building types.

Jade Hills is presented as a new premier address at CityGate: the villa housing facing the golf course. Its brochure does not use the word phase and prints neither its land area nor how the 160 homes split by type. LEVEL Business District is the business component, on the community's edge with access from the external street, so office traffic does not pass the residential gates.

The new launch areas (89, 107, 116, 138, 151 and 160 m²) do not match the plans in the Sapphire Residences brochure, which begin at 143 sqm and include no one-bedroom apartment. We therefore treat it as a separate release until sales confirm its name and its position on the plan.

Several commonly searched questions are not answered by the brochures: CityGate's area in feddans, the total number of units, the ratio of buildings to green space, phase numbering and handover order, the names of the schools, hotels and hospitals, and the name of the masterplanner or architect. The plan also does not mark Ripples or Jade Hills by name.

These details are not published in the developer material we hold. Ask us and we will confirm what is available with sales. Keep in mind that the brochures state that areas and drawings are approximate, that images are illustrative, and that the developer reserves the right to make changes.
