2. FORTY WEST
WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER

3. where urban living
meets a high
quality of life

4. Welcome to the new Cairo neighbourhood with a vibrant
social scene, amazing luxury apartments and bustling
open-air spaces. It’s a place designed for Egypt’s pleasant
climate and gregarious lifestyle, opening up new possibilities
for indoor-outdoor living in Cairo. The gardens, terraces
and public areas are as meticulously designed and well
appointed as the interiors of each apartment.
This is a place that fully embodies the aspirations of
modern Egyptians, who can live, work and socialise here,
all in the company of like-minded people. It’s the first
development at Westown, the new city centre being
created by SODIC and Solidere International. And it will
be one of Westown’s finest landmarks—a place with
urban amenities and residential features that make life
exhilarating, relaxing and complete.
This is where it all comes together. This is Forty West.

5. WHERE
MEDITERRANEAN
SPIRIT MEETS SLEEK
MODERN DESIGN

6. Forty West is a place inspired by the easy living of old
Mediterranean cities like Barcelona, Beirut and Rome.
Where people’s homes spill out into terraces, roof gardens
and courtyards and where creative architecture makes
convivial indoor-outdoor living enjoyable all year-round.
Forty West combines these Mediterranean charms with a
truly modern design aesthetic and cutting edge technology.
It’s stunning, international and sleek. Inside and out, Forty
West incorporates the best of master-planning, design,
materials and craftsmanship. It takes the idea of urban
comfort to a whole new level.

7. WHERE
NEIGHBOURHOOD
LIFE MEETS A VIBRANT
SOCIAL SCENE

8. The Forty West Piazza brings the best of international
dining, art and design together in one extraordinary
outdoor space. This is the social heart of Forty West. A
place that will be full of life from the first sip of a cappuccino
in the morning to the last sip of a cocktail at night.
You will always find something to do here: stop by the art
gallery or sculpture garden to see great artworks; browse
the boutiques for eclectic finds and designer fashion; take
the kids to a mesmerising performance in the outdoor
theatrical space; feast with friends and family in a great
restaurant or spend a lazy afternoon chatting with friends
over coffee or an ice cream.
There is something here for every lifestyle, every occasion
and nearly every taste. We are hand picking all of the
restaurants, cafés and boutiques to make sure each of
them is the kind of amazing neighbourhood place you’ll
want to come to again and again. It’s all part of what
makes Forty West an Egyptian destination that is truly
one of a kind.

9. WHERE URBAN
VITALITY MEETS
RESIDENTIAL CALM

10. Walk a short distance from the vibrant Forty West Piazza
and you can find yourself in a peaceful residential area
designed to be quiet and naturally cool. Forty West is a
neighbourhood with two distinct and complementary styles
of living. Both are equally urban and luxurious, but one puts
the focus on sociability and buzz while the other centres
around family life, botanical greenness and residential calm.
URBAN CHIC APARTMENT LIVING AND TERRACE AREAS

11. LIVE IN THE HEART
OF THE ACTION

12. The 36 apartments on the Forty West Piazza will be among
the most exclusive and admired homes in Cairo. Each
apartment has an individual layout, with features that
provide the highest standard in urban living. Choose
an apartment that fits your lifestyle, whether you enjoy
sunbathing beside a private pool, lounging in a Jacuzzi
tub or entertaining friends with dinners prepared in a fully
equipped outdoor kitchen.
Live here, and your windows and terraces will form part
of the vibrant tapestry that is the Forty West Piazza.
The fringe of palm trees down below will add a lush
Mediterranean vibe to your view while adding to your
privacy. Be at concerts and special events without leaving
your balcony. Or pull the easy-close shades, shut the
windows and enjoy some quiet ‘me’ time in the comfort
of your luxurious home.

13. LIVE IN BOTANIC
TRANQUILLITY

14. Live in the gardens at Forty West and you’ll be close to
nature in an environment that has been carefully designed
to be both modern and harmonious. Like the apartments
on the Forty West Piazza, the 139 apartments here stretch
out into the open air in ways that are surprising and highly
luxurious. Several of the ground-floor apartments have
spacious private gardens. And the Mediterranean-inspired
community gardens are great spaces for relaxation and for
children to play together. At night, the garden blocks are
for residents only, with access controlled by electronic key.

15. WHERE A CHIC
RETREAT MEETS
ASIAN HOSPITALITY

16. The Angsana hotel at Forty West will be a chic city
retreat. Angsana is part of the Banyan Tree group, which
is known worldwide for its exquisite resorts and attentive
Asian hospitality.
Here, guests will be treated to this same legendary largesse,
tailored to fit the hotel’s boutique size. In addition to the 50
sumptuous guest rooms, there will be elegant restaurants,
a rooftop pool, a spa and a business centre. And guests will
have golf, pool, spa and fitness-centre privileges at a larger
Angsana hotel, just up the road at Allegria.
The hotel will be a favourite among well-informed travellers
and locals drawn to its great service and amazing views.
The Angsana’s glamorous, shaded rooftop bar overlooks
the palm tops and dramatic lighting of the Forty West
Piazza. And its pool will be one of the trendiest spots in
all of Westown.

17. WHERE CREATIVE
INSPIRATION
meets modern
business life

18. The buzz and amenities of Forty West combined with its
enviable location at the heart of Sheikh Zayed, moments
away from the Smart Village, make this an ideal workplace
for any organisation. That’s why we set aside prime office
space on the Forty West Piazza. We’re so pleased with the
results that we’ll be working here ourselves, in the relocated
state-of-the-art SODIC Sales Centre.
Lease an office at Forty West, and you will benefit from all
of the technologies and facilities that modern businesses
need, from plentiful underground parking to central air-conditioning,
smart energy systems and high-speed
internet. Your windows will look out on the busy piazza
on one side and serene gardens on the other. Hold your
meetings at a café table outdoors and entertain your
clients with a meal at one of the open-air restaurants.
Or wander down to the art gallery to get your creative
inspiration topped up.

19. WHERE GLOBAL
ARCHITECTURE
MEETS CUTTING-EDGE
EGYPTIAN INTERIORS
From every angle, Forty West embodies amazing modern
design. We’ve brought together the acclaimed Boston-based
architects Machado and Silvetti Associates with
up-and-coming Cairo-based designers Eklego to ensure
that every aspect of Forty West has exceptional looks
and liveability. When you buy a Forty West apartment,
you’re buying a home that is part of a beautifully designed
community. And that is a design original from bottom to top.

20. Apartments
by Machado
and Silvetti
Argentinean-born Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti are
among the world’s most respected architects. Rodolfo is
a distinguished professor of architecture at Harvard and
a sought-after lecturer around the world. Jorge is often
asked to officiate at prestigious competitions, including
architecture’s highest honour, the Pritzker Architectural
Prize. Together and individually, Machado and Silvetti have
won many awards, and their writings and drawings have
appeared in many exhibitions, museums and books.
Their Boston-based firm has designed the heralded
expansion of the Getty Museum in California and a new
downtown square combining the ancient and modern
in Beirut. Their quietly sensational private residences
often feature in international architecture journals and
glossy magazines.
Each Machado and Silvetti project is different, focusing
on whatever is unique and important about the setting,
situation and place. This is why they were our first choice
to be the architects for Forty West.
Interiors by Eklego
Eklego are one of the hottest young design teams working
in Cairo at the moment. They’re known for bringing eclectic
materials, textures and patterns together into a unique and
striking whole.
You can see their work in the SODIC Sales Centre, which
has a modern look that is both elegant and inviting.
Eklego’s residential interiors have made a splash in local and
regional design press because their work is at the vanguard
of an emerging contemporary Egyptian style. And they’ve
applied this same visionary approach to the styles they’ve
created for Forty West.

21. APARTMENTS
WITH ORIGINALITY
AND COMFORT

22. By any measure, the 175 apartments at Forty West are
exceptional. In fact, each apartment is unique. Our
architecture partners Machado and Silvetti Associates
have designed each space to ensure maximum privacy
and coolness while letting in lots of natural light.
Apartments with one to four bedrooms are available.
They all come fully finished to a specification that is
unprecedented in Cairo, with exquisite materials and
dramatic design features to match your lifestyle and
taste. Choose an apartment with a lap pool or Jacuzzi
tub, a roof terrace or landscaped garden, with a fully
equipped outdoor kitchen or with a patio fireplace that
will keep your terrace cosy even on a chilly night.
EXCLUSIVE INTERIORS
TO MATCH YOUR
PERSONAL STYLE

23. Everyone’s style is different. We think everyone’s home
should effortlessly reflect this individuality with features
that match your lifestyle and approach to life. That’s why
we asked our design partner Eklego to create three
distinct contemporary interior styles for the apartments
at Forty West.
Each style has a palette of fittings that Eklego have
sourced from their network of fine artisans and world-class
suppliers around the world. And it will all be tailored to the
size, layout and location of your new apartment. Eklego will
take care of everything on your behalf. All you have to do is
decide which style you like best: Urban Chic, Natural Zen or
Modern Islamic.
LIVING ROOM AND TERRACE IN NATURAL ZEN STYLE

24. URBAN chic

25. Classy, artistic, daring. Urban Chic is inspired by the loft
living of New York and London. It’s a sophisticated style
for fashionable people who know what they want. The
perfect environment for art books, freshly ground coffee
and dinner parties that last well into the night.
LIVING ROOM AND TERRACE IN URBAN CHIC STYLE

26. NATURAL ZEN

27. Sensuous, cool, calm. Natural Zen is urban tranquillity,
a blend of natural materials and balanced spaces where
every element works in harmony. Inspired by the simplicity
of Japanese design, the look is relaxed, with many soothing
touches. With this style’s cooler colour palette and clean
horizontal lines, your home will feel like a calming retreat, far
away from the city outside.
KITCHEN AND DINING AREAS IN NATURAL ZEN STYLE

28. MODERN ISLAMIC

29. Clear, light and contemporary. Modern Islamic borrows the
intricate patterns of classical Egyptian living, updating them
for an aesthetic that’s completely modern. This is the style
for anyone who wants home to be a place of warmth,
reassurance and all-enveloping luxury.
POOL AND TERRACE AREAS IN MODERN ISLAMIC STYLE

prestigious British International School in Cairo (BISC) and
the residential communities Allegria, Beverly Hills and Casa.
West Cairo as a whole is a thriving residential area. More
and more Cairenes are choosing to live in its fresh air and
well-designed spaces. In fact, within the next few years up
to five million people will call this area home.
Forty West is perfectly positioned to be a popular urban
destination for the whole area. And likewise those who live
at Forty West will be well placed to take advantage of
everything this booming area has to offer. Like jobs with

40. WHERE TWO
DEVELOPERS
SHARE ONE VISION

41. Two experienced developers are working together to make
Forty West and the whole of Westown a reality. SODIC are
the developers behind some of Egypt’s largest and most
popular award-winning residential developments. Solidere
International was responsible for the dramatic rebuilding
and redevelopment of central Beirut.
We’ve teamed up to create and manage Westown and
Forty West because we share a passionate belief that
carefully planned, well-maintained developments can
change people’s lives for the better.
Together we have a formidable track record in urban and
residential development projects. In Lebanon and Egypt,
we’ve proven our ability to think up and deliver imaginative
and workable new developments. And together, we have
working relationships with great architects, designers and
building experts around the world.
So when you buy an apartment at Forty West, you can
be sure that it will not only look great now, it will stand
the test of time.
