In an exclusive interview with Realty Catalogue, we sat down with the leadership team of Qawafil Developments. They discussed the company’s journey since 2008 and highlighted its vision for the Egyptian real estate market. Additionally, the team shared details about their latest flagship project – Tri Hub.
Tri-Hub redefines mixed-use development as a new integrated destination in the heart of New Cairo.
Q: Let’s start from the beginning. How did Qawafil Developments begin, and what were the key milestones along the way?
Eng. Mohamed El Gohary: Since our establishment in 2008, Qawafil set out with a clear goal: to become a different kind of developer—one that creates projects leaving a lasting impact on the market. A major turning point came in 2016 when we expanded to New Cairo, marking the start of a new growth phase that established us as one of the key players in the sector.
Over the past 17 years, our achievements speak for themselves:
• +98 completed projects – Each project has been more than just a building; it was a success story across New Cairo, the New Administrative Capital, and beyond. These projects strengthened our expertise in tackling diverse market challenges—from design to delivery.
• +40 ongoing projects – A clear sign of our dynamism and ability to manage a wide portfolio while maintaining consistent quality standards. It is also a strong indicator of our sustained growth and responsiveness to market demand.
• +995 satisfied clients – Our clients are our true capital. Their trust and loyalty reflect our unwavering commitment to quality and professionalism.
These figures are not just operational milestones—they represent a journey of trust, credibility, and resilience that positioned Qawafil as a recognized name in the Egyptian real estate market.
Q: What makes Qawafil’s approach to development unique?
Eng. Mohamed El Gohary: For us, real estate is not just about selling units; it is about creating long-term investment assets. We build our philosophy on four pillars: credibility, professionalism, strategic planning, and continuous development.
Our priorities are clear: Commitment to timelines and execution quality – In a market often struggling with delays, punctual delivery with superior quality has become a cornerstone of our reputation.
Disciplined expansion in prime locations – We do not expand randomly. Each new project is the result of a detailed feasibility study that identifies genuine opportunities, particularly in thriving areas like New Cairo and university hubs.
We integrate technology and sustainability in all our projects. We use smart building systems and adopt renewable energy to meet the evolving needs of investors and end-users.
With this vision, Qawafil is not just a passing developer; it is a future builder.
Q: Let’s move to your latest project, Tri Hub. What does it bring to the market?

The project embodies three essential pillars of modern life. Retail & F&B areas include shops, restaurants, and cafés that attract students, residents, and professionals.
Administrative – Modern offices equipped with cutting-edge technologies, catering to startups, entrepreneurs, and established companies seeking a strategic base in New Cairo.
Additionally, Qawafil dedicates a full floor to healthcare, including specialized clinics and advanced medical centers. This setup effectively meets the growing needs of the community.
Tri Hub serves three core user groups: residents, students, and professionals. Qawafil attracts more than 120,000 people, ensuring strong footfall and sustainable activity throughout the day.
