O West
Orascom Developments' newest West Cairo destination, on Al Wahat Road
What is O West?
O West is Orascom Developments' newest West Cairo destination, set in 6th of October City directly on Al Wahat Road across roughly 4 million m² (about 1,007 acres), master-planned by the American firm HOK with landscape design by EDSA. The project went to market somewhere between a December 2018 soft launch and a February–March 2019 public launch depending on the source, with even the initial unit count disputed between 400 and 950 units.
O West's own homepage at owest.com.eg lists twelve residential neighbourhoods, six of them fully sold out (Whyt, Spring Valley, Hillside Bliss, Hillside, Club Yard and Club Residence) and six still selling (O Views, Parkside, Tulwa, Mid-Yard, Green Valley and Core Apartments), plus two more not yet officially launched (Qemet and Fera Residences). The first residents moved into the Whyt and Tulwa neighbourhoods in early 2023.

What is the O West master plan?
O West's master plan across roughly 4 million m² in 6th of October City was designed by the American firm HOK (Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum), with landscape architecture by EDSA. The number of phases itself is disputed: owest.com.eg's own homepage shows 12 neighbourhoods, Nawy's directory lists 15 (adding Qemet, Fera Residences and O Business District), and RealEstate.eg references '10 phases' — no single authoritative count exists across O West's own network.
Why invest in O West?
O West merits attention as Orascom Developments' newest West Cairo destination, master-planned by the global firm HOK with real community infrastructure — 4 schools, a hospital and clinics, and a 42.9-acre social and sports club — plus a genuine commercial investment angle through O Business District, where this research found a live 742 m² office building named Duette listed at EGP 90,000,000 (59,000,000 down, 2.5-year installments) on Property Finder in August 2026. The project delivered its first residential units in Whyt and Tulwa in early 2023, giving it an actual handover record rather than only promises.
