Al-Sibai noted that the units offered within the second phase of the Sakn Misr project are across about115 sqm.
This project is suitable for a citizen whose income does not comply with the booking conditions of social housing apartments. It is being implemented for the first time in Egypt at a lower price than the middle-class housing project “Dar Misr” and in larger areas than the social housing project “million units.”
For his part, Waleed Abbas, assistant minister of housing for the affairs of the new urban communities’ authority, explained that to book a unit in this project, the applicant must be at least a 21-year-old Egyptian and have not previously purchased an apartment or a piece of land from the ministry. Finally, a family cannot apply for more than one unit.
