The Egyptian Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities is advancing development in new urban areas through commercial investment and residential land distribution.

In late August 2026, the New Urban Communities Authority allocated 18 investment opportunities via public auctions in New Obour City and New Port Said (Salam). These auctions included commercial shops and administrative units, generating approximately 32.5 million Egyptian pounds in New Obour City alone. These initiatives aim to support economic activity and enhance resident quality of life.

Following these commercial developments, the Ministry announced a delivery schedule for residential land plots in the TA zone of New Obour City. As part of the tenth phase of the ‘Beit Al-Watan’ project, land handovers are scheduled to take place in batches between October 4 and November 24, 2026.
