The Podium, Cairo Festival City

The Podium sits within the business district of Cairo Festival City, at the entrance to New Cairo near the Ring Road and 90th Street. The location makes it easy for employees and clients to arrive from Heliopolis, Nasr City and Cairo International Airport, as well as from the 5th Settlement areas.

The project neighbours a number of important commercial and business components, including:

The project consists of a group of office buildings of ground plus five floors, with offices arranged around open walkways and courtyards. The master plan includes Podium I and Podium II, two parts of the office zone inside Cairo Festival City.

Execution data points to six main buildings within one of The Podium's zones, with a built-up area of around 1,705 m² per building and an efficiency ratio of up to about 89%. The interior floor plates allow a floor to be split between more than one company or assigned to a single user, depending on the office space required.

The design does not rely only on enclosed internal corridors; the buildings connect to courtyards, seating areas and open pathways, which creates breaks between offices and gives units views over the gardens and walkways.

The buildings offer spaces that can be adapted to more than one way of working, from an executive base for a small team to a large office with multiple departments, meeting rooms and reception areas.

A buyer of a Core & Shell unit can lay out the office to the company's needs, while a fully finished office cuts the fit-out time and lets you start operating sooner.

Before choosing an office, the sales team clarifies the key details:

Published sizes start from around 95 m² and scale up to serve companies of different sizes. The current sales market shows offices of sizes including:

The project offers two main types of delivery:

Office prices reflect the project's location, its operating status and the finishing. Sale listings published during 2026 point to examples including:

The price per metre in a number of ready listings is around EGP 260 thousand or more, with the value varying by floor, view, finishing, parking and any existing lease.

A large share of what is offered in The Podium consists of ready and resale units, and the plan differs from one office to another. Purchase may be through:

The buildings are served by a range of systems needed to run offices, notably:

The Podium does not operate as an isolated office building; it benefits from the services within Cairo Festival City:

The retail spaces on the ground floors are offered on terms separate from the offices and may be available for rent rather than sale.

Both projects belong to the office ecosystem in Cairo Festival City, but they address different needs.

The Podium offers units starting from around 95 m² inside low-rise buildings, so it suits small and medium-sized companies, consultancy offices and management headquarters.

Business District, by contrast, has larger buildings and floor plates that accommodate major companies and regional headquarters. Office space in the wider business district totals more than 259 thousand m², hosting over 40 local and international companies and around 26 thousand employees.

The decision to invest in an office depends on the unit's ability to attract a suitable company, not just on a high price per metre. Several factors support The Podium's location:

Al-Futtaim Real Estate developed The Podium within the business part of Cairo Festival City. The project complements the Business District by providing offices of smaller, more flexible sizes.

The project benefits from the management of an integrated destination that combines offices, housing, the mall, hotels, schools and services, which gives it an operating environment different from stand-alone office buildings on commercial roads.
