Shops and Offices for Sale in New Capital 2026: Price per m²
Homelocator
Published on October 4th, 2026
If you are looking at shops or offices for sale in Egypt's New Administrative Capital, the useful question is not "which tower looks best". It is where the money comes back from. You live in an apartment; you buy a shop or an office to rent it out or sell it on. That changes how you should compare them.
This guide covers the 64 commercial, office and medical units we list right now across 11 projects: three in detail (AI Tower and Taj Tower in the Central Business District, and i Business Park in Downtown), then a table of eight more from R7 to the Government District. Every figure comes from the developers' published prices, with the price per square metre worked out from them.
The short answer: offices in these projects run from about EGP 77,000 to EGP 240,000 per m², and shops from about EGP 140,000 to EGP 495,000 per m². The smallest shop we list starts at roughly EGP 6 million, the smallest office at EGP 3.06 million, and the smallest clinic at EGP 3.76 million.
Prices by project
| Project | Developer | Location | Sizes | Office per m² | Shop per m² | Payment plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| i Business Park | ARQA Development | Downtown, plot MU3-21 on the Green River | Offices 31–120 m², shops 26–80 m² | ~EGP 103,500 | EGP 273k–325k | 15% down over 6 years, 20% over 7, or 25% over 8 |
| AI Tower | AIG | CBD, Mohamed Bin Zayed axis | Offices 40–70 m², clinics 30–40 m², shops 30–40 m² | ~EGP 120,000 | ~EGP 250,000 | 5% down, up to 12 years, handover 2030 |
| Taj Tower | Taj Misr | CBD, 47 floors | Offices 32–78 m², shops 19–82 m² | EGP 180k–240k | EGP 300k–494k | Retail 5% over 10 years; offices 10% over 5 years |
i Business Park is the cheapest per office square metre by a wide margin but asks for a larger down payment. AI Tower is the easiest to enter (5% and 12 years). Taj Tower is the most expensive per metre, which reflects its CBD position and height.

| 6ixty Iconic Tower | ABM | Mixed-use tower | Offices and shops | Office ~186–209k, shop ~292–362k | EGP 11.57M |
| Cairo Business Plaza | Better Home | Financial and Business District | Offices 77–494 m² | ~176–196k | EGP 13.56M |
An office in R7 costs about half as much per metre as one in the Financial District. That gap is the price of the address; for a small company or a clinic, R7 buys more space for the money.
CBD or Downtown?
The Central Business District is the high-rise cluster around the Iconic Tower, built for corporate headquarters. An office here is aimed at companies that want a strong address on the main axis; buying one is a bet that large firms and banks follow the ministries that have already moved to the city.
Downtown (the MU plots) is mixed use along the Green River: homes, shops and offices together. A shop here lives on residents and passing trade, so the footfall in front of it matters more than the height of the building.
Rule of thumb: buy an office for its address and its neighbours; buy a shop for the people walking past it.
Shop or office: what the same money buys
| Roughly the same budget | Shop | Office |
|---|---|---|
| i Business Park, ~EGP 12.3M | 45 m² shop | 120 m² office |
| Taj Tower, ~EGP 14–15.6M | 45 m² shop, EGP 15.6M | 78 m² office, EGP 14.04M |
| AI Tower, ~EGP 8.4–10M | 40 m² shop, EGP 10M | 70 m² office, EGP 8.4M |
At i Business Park, the same EGP 12 million buys a 45 m² shop or a 120 m² office. The shop costs about 2.6 times more per metre, which is normal: ground-floor retail rents for far more per metre than office space.
A shop wins when its frontage faces real foot traffic and the tenant you have in mind (pharmacy, café, services) needs to be seen. An office wins when you want one corporate tenant on a longer lease, or plan to use it yourself.
Why the price per metre changes inside one tower
At Taj Tower the 19 m² shop works out at about EGP 315,000 per m², while the 68 m² shop is about EGP 494,000. The larger unit is dearer per metre, the opposite of what buyers expect from apartments. Commercial prices follow the floor, the frontage on the main road, the width of the shopfront and, for offices, the distance to the lifts. Compare units on the floor plan, not on price per metre alone.
The monthly instalment matters more than the price
- 40 m² office at AI Tower, EGP 4.8M: 5% down is EGP 240,000, the rest over 12 years, about EGP 31,700 a month with equal instalments.
- 42 m² office at i Business Park, EGP 4.35M: 15% down is about EGP 652,000, the rest over 6 years, about EGP 51,400 a month.
The cheaper office has the higher instalment. If monthly cash flow is your limit, AI Tower is easier; if you have a solid down payment and want to own outright before you start renting, i Business Park costs less overall. These are simple estimates without interest; confirm the schedule with the developer. More on this trade-off in smaller down payment or longer instalments?
Clinics
AI Tower lists a 30 m² clinic at EGP 3.9M and a 40 m² clinic at EGP 5.2M, about EGP 130,000 per m². Check that the contract allows medical use on that floor before you commit. See also shop, office or clinic?

- Which activities does the contract allow on that floor?
- Is there dedicated parking?
