    Modon and Montage Launch Luxury Resort at Egypt’s Ras El Hekma

    The project, named Montage Ras El Hekma, will feature 200 guestrooms and suites alongside 96 branded residences available for purchase within the wider Ras El Hekma master development on Egypt’s Northern Coast.

    The resort will include beachfront swimmable lagoons, a Spa Montage facility with 13 treatment rooms, six dining venues, retail areas, event spaces and an owners’ clubhouse designed for residents. The branded residences will consist of villas ranging from three to six bedrooms located within Wadi Yemm, the first precinct of the Ras El Hekma development to enter active delivery.

    Bill O’Regan, Group Chief Executive of Modon Holding, said the partnership aligned with the company’s plans to position Ras El Hekma as a Mediterranean destination focused on tourism, lifestyle and long-term investment value.

    Montage International Founder and Chief Executive Alan Fuerstman described the Egypt launch as a milestone in the hospitality group’s international expansion plans. The project marks the start of a broader partnership between Modon and Montage, with the companies indicating potential future collaborations across other Modon destinations.

    Ras El Hekma is being developed as a mixed-use coastal city spanning 44 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline and covering 170.8 million square metres. The masterplan includes residential districts, tourism infrastructure, marinas, cultural venues, a business district and transport links connecting the destination by road, sea and air.

    The $35 billion development is expected to attract $110 billion in investment by 2045, contribute around $25 billion annually to Egypt’s gross domestic product, and generate approximately 750,000 jobs upon completion, according to project estimates.

    The announcement follows Modon’s strong performance in Abu Dhabi, where the developer recently sold out Tara Park with AED2 billion in sales, reflecting sustained investor confidence in the emirate’s property sector.

  • Ohana Development Records Dh6 Billion in Sales Within 72 Hours

    Ohana Development Records Dh6 Billion in Sales Within 72 Hours

    The sales performance of Manchester City Yas Residences by Ohana marks one of the strongest project launches in Abu Dhabi’s real estate history, with the waterfront community on Yas Canal achieving the record figure between March 14 and March 17, 2026.

    Investors formed queues at the sales launch, reflecting exceptional demand for the project. The buyer profile shows 35% Emirati nationals and 65% expatriate and international investors, demonstrating broad appeal across market segments.

    “We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the UAE government and its visionary leadership for fostering a stable and forward-looking investment environment,” said Husein Salem, CEO of Ohana Development. “This strong foundation continues to strengthen confidence among investors and developers, supporting the resilience and growth of Abu Dhabi’s thriving real estate sector, despite any evolving circumstances.”

    Salem added that the strong response and sales record in just 72 hours reflects continued trust from investors locally and internationally, as well as the appeal of the project’s unique offering in the emirate.

    In response to the significant interest, Ohana Development is expected to release additional inventory from the project soon.

    The development spans 1.67 million square meters, with more than 55% of the masterplan dedicated to landscaped gardens and green spaces. Designed around sport and active living, the community will feature integrated training and recovery facilities, alongside a waterfront promenade with retail, dining and lifestyle destinations.

    Manchester City Yas Residences will include a marina sports club with water sports activities, as well as resort-style amenities including fitness facilities and pools.

    The sales achievement comes as Abu Dhabi’s property market recorded strong weekly sales in early March 2026, demonstrating sustained investor confidence. The UAE capital has been accelerating its development pipeline, with nearly 75 million square meters approved in 2025, marking a 137% year-on-year increase.

    The record-breaking launch underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing appeal as a premium residential destination, particularly for branded developments that combine lifestyle amenities with strategic locations on the emirate’s most sought-after addresses.
