Specializing in transforming prime locations into vibrant communities, The Ark melds high-end living with an eclectic mix of hospitality, commercial, and residential marvels, envisioning a society progressing towards a new, globalized era.

The foundation of The Ark lies in credibility and trust, demonstrated through the selection of premium materials, robust infrastructure, and a streamlined process that elevates construction to the creation of unparalleled experiences.

 

A Story of Success

The Ark represents a collaborative force of four major Egyptian business entities: Organi Group, Al Safy Group, Abdel-Maksoud Group, and Arabella Group. Each, a titan in its respective field—spanning construction, technology, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, automotive, retail, and real estate—brings unique expertise to the table.

The Ark's flagship in New Cairo is a testament to luxury and diversity, offering serviced residences, commercial spaces, and administrative buildings, complemented by two world-class hotels, Corinthia & Kimpton by IHG, situated in New Cairo's most iconic locale.

The hallmark of The Ark is its unwavering credibility and trust among customers.

 

An Iconic Project

At the grand launch event on February 17th, The Ark unveiled its inaugural New Cairo project, featuring Cliff (Administrative Buildings) and Edge (Serviced Residences).

Edge redefines serviced residences, merging unparalleled luxury with full automation by VIMAR Italy and exclusive services by the Corinthia hotel—its first venture in Egypt.

This architectural marvel blends innovation with nature-inspired luxury, creating a sanctuary for design aficionados and those seeking a harmonious living environment.

 

Edge features 11 complexes, each boasting its own swimming pool, common areas, lounges, gyms, and more. It offers a range of living options from 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments to studios, duplexes, and penthouses that epitomize elegance. With private drop-off areas, lush greenery, and water features, Edge transforms living spaces into serene oases.

Residents can enjoy walkable areas, peaceful underground parking, and private access to commercial spaces, supported by a 24/7 concierge service and exclusive commercial and retail areas.

Cliff, another facet of this iconic project, reimagines the workspace as a dynamic and inviting environment, integrating administrative and commercial spaces with a world-class hotel and ground-level dining and retail options, fostering a balance between work and leisure.

With diverse office types and four levels of underground parking, Cliff is designed for collaboration and community, featuring co-working spaces (in partnership with SPACES by IWG), pedestrian walkways, and vibrant piazzas.
