TEGARAH COMPANY
Garden City developments also ventured with a reputable consortium that provides a unique mix of experiences in development, retail and construction segments in the Egyptian market. The consortium includes SODIC, currently one of the leading real estate companies in Egypt; Bonyan, a subsidiary of SIAC, one of Egypt’s largest contractors and pioneers of industrial parks in Egypt; GAZO, the holiding company of Galal El Zorba is a chairman of the federation of Egyptian of industries.
This unique mixture of successful conglomerates won a government sponsored bid to develop a for-lease retail center in a prime location in Mansoura, the capital of Egyptian governorate Dakahlia. Dakahlia, located 120 km northeast of Cairo, is one of the relatively wealthier governorates, with a population of approximately 1.2 million people and an enormous pent-up demand for commercial and retail developments.
The tender was part of the government’s initiative to direct investments towards diversified development opportunities outside of Cairo and target the growing middle classes in these secondary cities. As part of this strategy, the government identified, and is making available, significant land tracts to private sector investors – both local and international – to develop commercial real estate developments in a structured and well-planned manner.
Located on a primary highway connecting the Dakahlia governorate’s major towns, the plot area is 63,000 sqm, permits 37,800 sqm of gross built area, and a 27,720 sqm of net leasable area. The project is to be fully constructed in an 18 month time-frame and will be leased from the government for a 50 year period. The consortium forecasts the investment cost of the Mansoura commercial center to be approximately EGP 210 million, and will have cost the company over EGP 160 million. It has already secured a commitment from Carrefour for the anchor 5,000 sqm retail store.
The consortium has assigned Garden City developments Chairman, Mr. Shafik Baghaddy, as the chairman of the consortium company, named the Tegarah Company for Commercial Centers. Based on the strength of the consortium, as well as the strength of the concept submission, the company was ranked first on a point system set out in the tender documents, subsequently winning the tender. The concept includes providing services such as entertainment facilities, hypermarkets and department stores, food and café outlets, furnishing supplies, clothing materials, automotive services, among many other retail and commercial activities to attract the whole governorate and become their destination of choice.
With its lack of entertainment facilities across all categories, including cinemas, restaurants and amusement areas, Mansoura has a strong need for modern shopping centers; its total expenditure on retail is approximately EGP 26 billion. Garden City developments meets the consortium’s strategic policy of further diversifying its portfolio to include commercial retail developments that provide a consistent source of revenues, as well as using its experience in Dakahlia to eventually include other governorates in Egypt.
