What is the price per m², and how do I use it?

How is the price per square metre calculated?

Divide the unit's price by its area in square metres. A unit priced at 24,175,000 EGP with an area of 210 m² costs 115,119 EGP per m² (24,175,000 ÷ 210, rounded to the nearest pound). The catalogue holds both the price and the area for every unit, so the calculation takes seconds.

Which units can I compare?

Only units of the same type. An apartment and a townhouse with the same price per m² are not equal buys: the townhouse stands on its own land, and its price is set on a different basis. Compare apartment with apartment, villa with villa, office with office.

Then match the other terms that change the price: finishing, delivery date, down payment and installment years. Two units on the catalogue today show how far the figure moves. The apartment in Plateau District 5 (New Cairo) is semi-finished, with a delivery date of 30 June 2026, and costs about 115,119 EGP per m². The townhouse in Green Valley (6th of October City) is fully finished, delivers on 28 February 2029, and costs about 152,366 EGP per m² (26,664,000 ÷ 175). The gap is not only about location. A semi-finished unit leaves the finishing work to be paid for separately, so its price per m² cannot be read against a fully finished one.

Does the price per m² include the land and the shared areas?

The area shown for a unit is the area the developer states for it. Whether that figure includes a share of common areas, gardens or roof space is a point for the developer's contract. Ask the sales team which area they are using before you compare two figures, and measure both units the same way.

What does the price per m² not tell me?

It does not show the cash you pay. The down payment and the installments decide the amount you pay and when you pay it, and both are shown on each unit page. The price on the page is also what the seller asks, not the final sale price, which can differ once the terms are agreed.

How do I use it in a practical comparison?

Build a short table with three columns: the unit, its price per m² and its finishing. Sort within one type and one area. Look at the gap between units that are alike and sit in the same compound. A large gap between two identical units is a question for the developer before you decide. Remove from the table any unit that is no longer available.
