Amjad — Real Investment & Smart Estates

About Amjad

We started with one tower and a stubborn idea

That a real estate firm should be judged on what its clients earn, not on what it manages to sell.

2009

Four people, one tower

Our story

Amjad began in 2009 with a single mixed-use tower in New Cairo and four people who had all quit the same brokerage on the same week. We'd spent years watching buyers sold whatever the firm needed to move that quarter, and we thought the whole model was upside down.

So we inverted it. We only list what we'd put our own money into, we publish the yield model behind every asset, and we stay on after handover to manage what we sold. It's slower. It costs us listings. It has also meant that most of our growth for sixteen years has come from clients buying a second, third and fourth time.

Today Amjad has delivered 124 assets across residential, commercial and mixed-use, with 2.4 billion EGP under management. The team is 48 people. The idea hasn't changed.

Mission

To make premium real estate investment legible — so a first-time buyer and an institutional allocator can both see exactly what they're buying, what it costs and what it will return.

Vision

To be the firm the region's investors call first, because the number we quote on day one is still the number on the day they exit.

About Amjad

Values

Numbers before narrative

If we can't model it, we won't sell it.

Stay on the hook

We manage what we deliver. Selling is not the finish line.

Say the hard thing

We've talked clients out of more deals than we've talked them into.

Build to last

Specified for the thirty-year owner, not the launch photos.

Track record

    Amjad Gardens: 88 townhouses, delivered eleven weeks early. Still our benchmark for handover.
