Apartments in West Cairo are trending towards smaller footprints than villas, but the real difference lies in how the buildings are laid out, what residents see from the balcony, and how far they sit from traffic and daily services. On that basis, Waterway West Compound in Sheikh Zayed offers residential buildings surrounded by gardens and water features, with a separate zone for business, retail and hospitality.
The Waterway is developing the project across 47 feddans, offering fully finished apartments starting from 87 m², alongside offices and retail units. This mix gives Waterway West Sheikh Zayed a multi-use character while keeping a clear separation between the residential area and the visitors heading to the offices and services.

Size and design of Water Way New Zayed Compound
Water Way New Zayed Compound spans 47 feddans, roughly 198,000 m². The land is not split evenly between buildings and open space: most of the residential zone is given over to gardens, water features and open walkways, while the apartment buildings occupy only a small share of the land.
The Waterway West plan is divided into a residential zone and an administrative, commercial and hotel zone. Buildings take up only about 15% of the residential area, against 85% for green space, water features and open areas. The residential buildings consist of a ground floor plus 5 typical floors, with penthouse units on the top level.
In the zone set aside for offices and retail, buildings cover about 30% of the land, with 70% left for open walkways and plazas. The buildings here are a ground floor plus two typical floors, heights that keep density down and preserve a sense of space.
The design of Waterway West Compound in Sheikh Zayed does not rely on a single central green space. Instead, gardens and water features run through the residential areas, so a higher share of units get open views. Separating the business and retail zone from the apartment buildings also keeps customer and visitor traffic out of residents' daily lives.
