Transforming Zamalek’s skyline
Morshedy Group is set to redevelop the 50-story Fouda Tower into a luxury mixed-use development featuring high-end residences and a premium hotel. CEO Nour Morshedy said the project will add value to the district while maintaining its unique charm.
Chairperson Wael Saada emphasized the company’s broader growth, including Skyline, a landmark residential project spanning 200,000 square meters. Designed by Egyptian architect Raef Fahmy in collaboration with Spain’s VDP Studio and world-renowned architect Mohamed Hadid, Skyline is set to become the world’s largest residential building.
Morshedy Group’s expanding portfolio also includes One Katameya, a mixed-use complex with eight commercial and administrative buildings alongside 30 residential buildings housing nearly 4,000 units, as well as Zahra, a large-scale development in New Alamein City.
