Canadian Architect Hazel Wong inspects Rock Capital 1 in the New Capital — A world-class administrative icon ahead of handover

Rock Developments welcomed Canadian architect Hazel Wong, who leads WSW Architects and designed the Rock Capital 1 project.

This project stands as the largest administrative landmark in the Government District of the New Administrative Capital.

As part of the final preparations for handing over the project, company officials accompanied Hazel Wong during her site visit.

Meanwhile, Eng. Emad Doss, CEO of Rock Developments, affirmed that Hazel Wong’s visit marks a significant milestone for the company. He emphasized the company’s strong commitment to delivering top-tier quality across all construction phases.

He also noted that the project is now in its final stages. The team is currently preparing it for delivery to clients.

In addition, Doss added that collaborating with Hazel Wong combines their Canadian expertise with her architectural experience in Dubai.

Together, they aim to deliver world-class quality and introduce cutting-edge innovation in design. Together, we are shaping a new vision for a workplace that actively promotes investment and accelerates business progress.

For this reason, we consistently prioritize innovative and forward-thinking design in every project we develop. As a result, Rock Capital 1 is emerging as a flagship destination within Egypt’s rapidly expanding business sector.

To support this ambition, the project team designed every element with precision, from services to architectural vision. They aimed to meet the evolving needs of today’s dynamic and forward-thinking professionals.

He explained that Rock Capital 1 stands among the most prominent projects in the New Administrative Capital. Its strategic location and world-class architectural design set it apart from other developments.

The project sits in a prime area of the New Capital, overlooking the Presidential Palace and key governmental zones. As a result, it ranks as the largest administrative building in the Government District, offering excellent accessibility.

He further highlighted that the project is the largest administrative development located in a prime area of the New Capital. It spans one million square feet and involves a total investment of EGP 3 billion.

The project features a prestigious 200-meter frontage on the Presidential Road, offering unmatched accessibility. It is just one minute from the Presidential Palace and Central Bank, and a few minutes from key destinations. Specifically, it is two minutes from the monorail, four from ministries and parliament, and five from the New Capital Airport.

He disclosed that selecting world-renowned architect Hazel Wong reflects the company’s commitment to excellence and strategic partnerships. This decision highlights Rock Developments’ careful approach in choosing industry-leading professionals.

Hazel Wong’s signature style—famous for the Jumeirah Towers in the UAE—appears once again in Rock Capital 1.

Additionally, the project includes contributions from world-renowned engineering and design firms. Ted Jacobs Engineering Group, Cracknell, and Engineering Consultants Group contributed directly to the project’s engineering and design work.

He confirmed that Rock Capital 1 sits on the largest plot allocated to an administrative project in the New Capital. This strategic positioning enables the project to attract global investment and actively boost Egypt’s economic appeal.

The development aims to promote business growth by providing a full range of services and modern amenities. These include cafés, restaurants, and a centralized ATM hub for daily financial needs.

In addition, it features a medical services area and meeting rooms on every floor for training and business sessions. The project team designed all facilities with noise insulation to ensure maximum comfort and enhance workplace productivity.

Canadian architect Hazel Wong, Executive Director of WSW Architects, praised the completion of Rock Capital 1.

She expressed pride in designing this iconic administrative project. Wong also commended Rock Developments for realizing the project in full alignment with her original vision.

Wong said she designed a variety of office spaces in a strategic and high-visibility location. Each office features a unique architectural character.

She highlighted that the building is among the first administrative projects ready for operation. It stands out with a distinctive and elegant façade.

She stated, “It’s truly impressive to see your project transform from sketches on paper into a precisely executed reality.

The dream started on paper—but today, Rock Capital 1 stands as a real achievement. It’s a unique building that brings together work, life, and leisure in one space.

She added that the building features open terrace spaces, designed to enhance its striking façade. These terraces offer areas for relaxation, dining, and enjoying the outdoors.

Here, you will find an inspiring work environment, comprehensive services, and commercial spaces that cater to all your needs.”
