UBL Tameer in New Cairo — Urban Business Lane by Tameer

UBL by Tameer (Urban Business Lane) is an office and retail project in the centre of New Cairo, right across from the American University in Cairo, built mainly for offices with shops and restaurants on the ground floors and rooftops, and prices of the units we have available start from EGP 23,312,500.

Some people search for it as a mall, but UBL is really a business district. Its shops and cafés serve the people who work there and visitors to UrbanWalk, the larger car-free, non-gated destination it belongs to.

Where is UBL and how to get there

UBL sits in the heart of New Cairo, on the AUC avenue directly opposite the campus, with Tameer's Azad compound on its eastern side. Tameer describes the site as roughly halfway between Cairo and the New Administrative Capital.

1. Walking distance to the monorail station
2. About 15 minutes to Cairo International Airport
3. About 15 minutes to the Ring Road
4. About 20 minutes to the New Capital

The monorail helps staff who do not drive, and the airport is close for visiting clients.

Tameer, the developer

Tameer presents itself as Egypt's oldest housing developer. It is listed on the Egyptian Exchange and built well-known housing such as Maadi and Sheraton housing, as well as the Movenpick Hotel in Aswan.

In New Cairo it developed Azad, Azad Views and Diar II. If you want to live near your office, compare Azad Walk, 27 Residence and AZ Homes. See all projects on the Tameer developer page.

Master plan and design

UBL was designed by ARCHITECTURESTUDIO, known for the European Parliament building in Strasbourg, with ACE Moharram Bakhoum as engineer and JLL as project manager. Landscape across UrbanWalk is by Gillespies, who worked on One Hyde Park in London.

The idea is a real neighbourhood rather than fixed blocks: pedestrian lanes between buildings, continuous ground-floor shops and cafés, and social life in the park and on the rooftops. Facades combine arabesque frames for privacy and shade with glazed panels for views. The Gate buildings on the AUC avenue carry large screens that make them a landmark.

UrbanWalk covers 55 feddan and includes the business district (UBL), a leisure district, serviced residences, a wellness district and a large central park.

Facilities and amenities

1. Corporate offices with large, flexible floor plates built to Class A standards
2. Smaller modular offices for SMEs, start-ups and entrepreneurs
3. Retail, restaurants and cafés on the ground floors and rooftops
4. The Shared Hub, a co-working space overlooking the park with meeting rooms and a shared kitchenette
5. Large underground parking and shaded walkways

Around UBL, UrbanWalk adds the central park, a leisure district with shops and kids' activities, a specialised hospital with clinics, and serviced apartments.

Office and commercial unit types in UBL

The project includes offices and retail, but the units we have available are offices delivered core and shell, with no interior finishing. You receive an open space and fit it out to suit your company. The live table on this page shows current prices, payment plans and delivery for every available office.

Drawbacks of UBL: what to know before buying

1. Fit-out is on you: core and shell offices need a budget and time for finishing, air conditioning and IT.
2. Not a mall: if you want a shop with mall footfall, this is not the place, and our stock here is offices only.
3. Rental demand depends on the destination: if you buy to rent out, demand will follow how quickly UrbanWalk fills up.
4. University traffic: being next to AUC means students and cars at peak study times.
5. Car-free above ground: businesses moving goods or equipment need to plan logistics with management.

Who is UBL for?

1. Large companies looking for a headquarters with a strong address.
2. Start-ups and small firms that want a reasonably sized office in a busy setting.
3. Employers hiring young graduates, thanks to AUC and the monorail nearby.
4. Investors who want an office to lease to companies.
