Swan Lake Residence Compound, New Cairo

A phase appearing on the masterplan does not mean that all of its unit types are available at the same time; some options may be with the developer, while others are only available on the resale market.

Life at Swan Lake Residence by Hassan Allam revolves around open spaces rather than rows of tightly packed buildings. The plan includes a central valley of about 20 feddans, containing 9 water features, 18 gardens and 14 outdoor seating areas. Green spaces and open areas also take up a large share of the compound's land, leaving natural breaks between neighbourhoods and units.

The plan isn't limited to homes: a retail and business strip extends for about 1.3 km, alongside sports areas and paths for walking and cycling. The result is a community you can use all day, whether for work, exercise or time spent outside the home.

This position gives the compound an advantage over projects in the farther extensions: it sits within an established urban area and doesn't depend entirely on the future growth of a new district.

The choices of Swan Lake Residence units for sale extend to studios, apartments, penthouses, duplexes, townhouses, twin houses and standalone villas, as well as offices and retail units.

The overall range of published listings runs from about EGP 6.25 million to EGP 180 million, but this range combines different types and phases, so neither the highest nor the lowest figure alone is a good guide to the average price within the compound.

The price gap within Swan Lake Residences doesn't come from size alone. When comparing any two units, the sales team walks you through six points:

A resale unit may look cheaper but require a large cash payment. Conversely, a developer unit may be priced higher, with a smaller down payment and a longer payment period.

The payment plans available in Swan Lake Residence New Cairo include options starting from a 5% down payment, with instalment periods of 6, 7 or 10 years depending on the unit and phase. There is no single fixed plan for all options, and the sales team provides a schedule that shows:

Swan Lake Compound in the 1st Settlement combines two things that are hard to find together in a single destination: a spacious, relatively low-density residential community, and a location in a mature area close to business hubs, the airport and the main roads. That makes it suitable for long-term family living, and gives apartments and offices a chance to benefit from the demand coming from people who work in New Cairo.

The investment case depends on choosing the right unit: small apartments are relatively easier to resell and rent, while villas and twin houses appeal to a smaller group of buyers who are looking for privacy and large spaces. For office units, the expected yield is tied to the occupancy rate and operating costs.

Hassan Allam Properties builds on the legacy of the Hassan Allam group, which began in 1936, while its real estate business has developed since the 1990s to include a range of residential and coastal destinations. Its portfolio includes projects such as Haptown, Swan Lake North Coast, Swan Lake Gouna, Swan Lake West and The Valleys.

In Swan Lake Residence, the company's approach shows in creating a multi-neighbourhood community rather than repeating one residential model across the whole site; which makes the phase name and the unit's position within the masterplan a core part of the buying decision, not just a minor detail.
