What I’ve read is that construction is supposed to commence in 2025. I saw a post or two online claiming that it started in November 2024, but nothing official has been confirmed. I didn’t find anything myself. I know it’s supposed to be in the CBD. Does anyone have a master plan of the CBD to see where the Oblisco Capitale Tower is supposed to be?

On February 19th, Cairo time, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly visited the New Capital CBD project, accompanied by Housing Minister Sherif El-Sherbiny, Deputy Minister Ahmed Abdel Razek, and other officials. ✨🏝

During the visit, Dr. Madbouly and the delegation toured the residential tower D03, explored the model apartment units on the 43rd floor. They also inspected the CUC Energy Center and the model serviced apartments on the 47th floor of the Iconic Tower. The Prime Minister praised the project's progress and high-quality execution!

A really good overview of the project

New Administrative Capital Cairo: Cultural Marvel in Progress

President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi's recent meeting on September 17, 2023, showcased the advancing Arts and Culture City within the New Administrative Capital, positioning it as a global hub for Egyptian artistic brilliance.

City Highlights: Located 45km east of Cairo, the New Administrative Capital integrates ministries, residential areas, a diplomatic quarter, and cultural gems like a rare books library, arts museum, and opera house.

Financial Developments: Egypt plans to float 5-10% of ACUD shares on the stock exchange by Q2 2024, signaling a strategic move for economic growth.

Investment Insights: While the exact share value remains undisclosed, Chairman Khaled Abbas is navigating the intricate financial landscape, considering the project's estimated $58 billion financing needs.

Originally, there was a plan to transfer parliament, presidential palaces, government ministries, and foreign embassies to the new city between 2020 and 2022. However, due to construction delays and the impact of COVID-19, the relocation of more than 30,000 government employees was postponed to March 2023. As of May 5, 2023, 14 ministries and government entities have already made the move to the New Administrative Capital.
