The Butterfly Compound in Mostakbal City brings apartments and family villas together in a low-density residential master plan on the Al Amal Axis. Madinet Masr is developing the project in cooperation with Madar, and it includes studios and apartments, Pano Homes units, townhouses, S-Villa homes and standalone villas.
Current unit sizes start from about 50 m² for apartments and reach 240 m² for standalone villas, while prices start from about 3 million EGP. Some units are available with a 1.5% down payment and instalments of up to 12 years.

The Butterfly location in Mostakbal City
The project sits on the Al Amal Axis inside Mostakbal City, close to Madinaty and the eastern extension of New Cairo. Its location connects you to the roads leading to the New Administrative Capital, New Cairo, El Shorouk and Heliopolis.
According to the distances published by Madinet Masr, the project is:
- 15 minutes from the New Administrative Capital.
- 20 minutes from New Cairo.
- 30 minutes from Cairo International Airport.
- A short distance from Madinaty and El Shorouk.
- Directly connected to the Al Amal Axis and the roads linked to the Suez Road.
The project has a commercial frontage of roughly 729 m on the Al Amal Axis. This makes the commercial area accessible from outside the compound, while keeping the residential neighbourhoods inside away from visitor traffic.

The Butterfly project area
Madinet Masr's annual report puts the project land at roughly 1 million m², or about 238 feddans. The initial launch statement, by contrast, referred to developing an area of 187 feddans; the larger figure therefore reflects the project's registered master plan, while the other relates to the announced scope of that launch phase.
About 90% of the master plan is allocated to residential use, against 10% for commercial activities. The layout separates the home clusters with gardens and water features, with pedestrian and cycling paths linking the units to the shared areas.

The Butterfly design
The master plan takes its inspiration from a butterfly's wings, with the residential areas divided into clusters interwoven with gardens and walkways. The idea goes beyond the overall shape: it helps spread density and separates vehicle traffic from parts of the pedestrian routes.
The facades follow a contemporary Mediterranean style with natural colours and wide openings. Living rooms in the houses connect to terraces or gardens, while the apartments benefit from balconies and natural light.
The design includes elements aimed at reducing water and energy consumption, such as water-reuse systems, energy-efficient infrastructure and building materials chosen in line with the project's sustainability focus.

Unit types at The Butterfly
The range of units serves more than one buying budget, from studios all the way up to standalone villas.
The Butterfly studios and apartments
Units start from small studios and apartments, then extend to apartments with 1 to 3 bedrooms:
- A studio of about 53 m².
- A 1-bedroom apartment starting from about 50 m².
- 1-bedroom apartments with sizes of up to about 82 m².
- 2-bedroom apartments from about 103 to 117 m².
- 3-bedroom apartments from about 136 to 164 m².
The smaller units suit individuals and small families, while the larger apartments offer a layout suited to family living. Price varies with the floor, the view and the terrace size.
Pano Homes units
Madinet Masr offers Pano Homes as duplex units of about 179 m², with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms plus a guest bathroom.
The model focuses on open views and space spread over two levels, and suits buyers who want to separate the bedrooms from the reception area without moving up to a townhouse.
S-Villa homes
An S-Villa consists of two independent homes stacked vertically within a single building, with separate entrances and outdoor spaces. It is neither a conventional apartment nor a standalone villa; it is a product that combines the space of a family home with a lower land share built into the purchase cost.
There are two main models:
- S-Villa A: 212 m², with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.
- S-Villa B: 239 m², with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms.
The sales team sets out where the unit sits within the building, and whether it comes with a garden or a roof terrace, when comparing the model with a villa or a townhouse.
The Butterfly townhouses
Current townhouse sizes range from about 248 to 259 m². Some models have 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, with a private garden and entrance.
There are middle units and corner units, and a home's position affects its land area, the number of facades and the level of privacy. A corner unit may therefore cost more even when the built area is identical.
Standalone villas
Standalone villa sizes start from 175 m² and rise to 204 and 240 m². The villas have private gardens and share no walls with a neighbouring home.
The models include:
- A 175 m² villa with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
- A standalone villa of 204 m².
- A 240 m² villa in the largest category.

- Commercial areas: run along the Al Amal Axis frontage and include shops, restaurants and cafes.
- Gardens: separate the building and home clusters.
- Water features: spread across the master plan to create open views.
- Walking and cycling paths: link the residential areas to the facilities.

- Facilities management: maintains the shared areas and gardens.

Advantages of living at The Butterfly
The project gives buyers the freedom to choose between a small apartment and a large family home at the same address. This variety stops the community from being limited to a single type of resident, while separate zones for buildings and villas preserve the character of each product.
The advantages of living here show in:
- A direct location on the Al Amal Axis.
- Proximity to Madinaty and the New Administrative Capital.
- A wide range of sizes and home types.
- Units with private gardens and entrances.
- Low building density around the villa areas.
- Neighbourhoods connected by dedicated pedestrian paths.
- A commercial zone on the outer frontage.
- Features that conserve energy and water.

Advantages of investing in the project
The investment value of The Butterfly does not rest on the Mostakbal City location alone; it is also shaped by the unit type, the construction stage and how easily the unit can be resold.
The main influencing factors are:
- Units range from small studios to standalone villas, which widens the pool of potential buyers.
- A commercial frontage on the Al Amal Axis supports running services and attracting visitors without relying on residents alone.
- Distinctive residential products: S-Villa and Pano Homes give the project units that differ from conventional apartments and villas.
- A developer with large-scale projects, which makes it possible to look at Sarai and Taj City to assess Madinet Masr's experience in delivering large communities.
