6th of October is West Cairo’s largest real estate market — with dozens of developers at work. This is not another “name list” like the ones everywhere — it is a choosing guide: the developer-type map and the criteria that separate serious builders from talk, from a company actually building in October since 2010.
The developer map of 6th of October — by type
- Large companies: building integrated mixed-use cities across hundreds of feddans. Their strength is mega-amenities; their challenge is high density and long phase-delivery timelines.
- Mid-size companies: one or two projects in chosen spots — hugely variable in seriousness, which is exactly where criteria matter.
- Specialist (boutique) developers: focused on one product, repeated and refined. Sakan Group is this kind: exclusively villa compounds — the Moon Hills series (1–6) in the Green Belt at a 15% construction ratio, with a record of 95+ projects and 750+ clients since 2010.
Five criteria to judge any company in October
- Delivered in October itself: not the company’s general record — its record in this area. Ask for delivered project addresses and visit (Moon Hills 1 and 2, for example, are open to visit).
- Specialisation: if your goal is a villa, a do-everything firm is not the same as a specialist whose only craft is villas.
- A written construction ratio: this number shapes your daily life — in Moon Hills it is 15% built, 85% open, in writing.
- Published prices: a confident company publishes its prices (like this) — hiding behind “leave your number” means selling by calls.
- Licences before sales: ask for the ministerial decree and building licence before signing — a serious developer shows them without hesitation.
Where to look, by goal
Want an apartment amid an established city’s services? The older districts and the big firms’ projects. Want a villa with calm, privacy and still-fair land prices? Head to New October and the Green Belt — compare there using these five criteria, and start with a delivered-project visit (take this checklist).
Quick questions
How do I know a developer in October is good?
Five criteria: delivered projects in October itself that you can visit, clear specialisation in your unit type, a written construction ratio in the contract, published prices on official channels, and licences plus a ministerial decree before sales.
Who is the villa specialist in 6th of October?

Should I choose a big company or a specialist developer?
Large companies suit buyers who want a huge mixed-use city; a specialist suits those who want one product perfected — a villa in a calm low-density compound. Decide your priority first, then choose from the right kind.
