Eng. Randa El-Menshawy, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, reviewed the latest developments and implementation progress of several projects in New Alamein City. This comes as part of the ongoing monitoring of construction progress in new cities to ensure that projects meet their scheduled timelines and comply with quality standards.
Eng. Randa El-Menshawy emphasized that New Alamein City represents an important model of integrated urban development. Through this project, the state aims to achieve sustainable and balanced development along the North Coast.
It also seeks to provide various housing options, services, and investment activities while creating an attractive urban environment for residents and investors throughout the year, not only during the summer season.
The Minister of Housing added that the continuous implementation of residential, service, tourism, and investment projects, alongside infrastructure, road networks, and utility works, reflects the scale of ongoing efforts.
She stressed the importance of continued field monitoring and coordination with implementing companies to accelerate progress and complete the remaining works as quickly as possible, while fully adhering to technical specifications and quality standards.
In this context, the Minister of Housing received a report on construction progress and implementation rates across several residential projects in New Alamein City, including the T-Resident project in the housing area and the “Diarna” project. The report followed an inspection tour conducted by Dr. Eng. Mohamed Khalafallah, Head of the New Alamein City Development Authority, at the project sites.
The tour included reviewing implementation progress and completion rates for both projects. It also emphasized the need to complete all works promptly, in accordance with the specified schedules and the highest quality standards.
Priorities included completing exterior facades, starting landscaping and tree-planting works, maintaining execution quality and finishing accuracy, and promptly addressing any observations. These measures aim to ensure that the units are fully prepared and delivered to customers in the best possible condition and within the scheduled deadlines.
As part of efforts to attract investment and diversify activities in new cities, Eng. Randa El-Menshawy also reviewed the status of investment opportunities offered in New Alamein City. From October 1 to 15, a range of promising investment opportunities was offered to support service, residential, and medical activities within the city.
The Minister of Housing stressed the importance of continuing to offer diverse investment opportunities in New Alamein City and providing spaces suitable for various activities. She also highlighted the importance of making use of flexible payment systems to support development plans, stimulate economic activity, and expand investment and service activities throughout the city.
The Minister of Housing also followed up on construction works for the C3 Road tunnel, which intersects with the Alexandria–Matrouh International Coastal Road. She also reviewed the traffic arrangements accompanying the construction works to maintain smooth traffic flow and protect the safety of citizens and city visitors.
In this regard, Eng. Randa El-Menshawy stressed the need to adhere to approved road closures, traffic diversions, and alternative routes. She also called for continuous coordination with the relevant authorities to maintain traffic flow and ensure public safety. The necessary measures must be taken to guide road users toward alternative routes throughout the construction period.
In a related context, the Minister of Housing reviewed the New Alamein City Development Authority’s efforts to strengthen cooperation and communication with academic institutions. The authority received a delegation of architecture students from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Alexandria University to learn about the planning and development experience of new coastal cities.
The visit included a presentation of an explanatory film showcasing the development stages of New Alamein City and its various projects and urban components. This was followed by a field tour of several areas and projects across the city, including North Square, the coastal towers, and the tourist promenade.
The visit introduced the students to the city’s urban development experience and its diverse residential, urban, and service components, reflecting the state’s vision for developing integrated and sustainable new coastal cities.
