Misr Italia Properties is introducing the 15-minute city concept at its ground-breaking project Il BOSCO City-New Cairo. 

The cutting-edge concept revolves around improving the quality of life for the development’s residents. This means giving them access to a wide range of services including educational, sports, lifestyle, shopping, and medical services within 15-minutes on foot or by bike. 

Misr Italia Properties has also announced the launch of two new phases, La Natura and La Valle, at Il BOSCO City. The two phases will house 220 units, which are scheduled to be delivered by 2025.

The 15-minute city concept was first proposed by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris, who got the inspiration for the concept from Sorbonne University professor Carlos Moreno.

The concept aims to improve the quality of life for residents, by bringing all necessities and services within a 15-minute reach for everyone.  

The newly launched phase, La Natura, provides a variety of villas that include a Garden Villa with areas up to 218 sqm, a Double View House with an area of 238 sqm, and a Sky Villa with an area of 213 sqm. 

The other phase, La Valle, offers a Spring Villa with an area of 282 sqm, Twin Houses with an area of 257 sqm and Townhouses with an area of 239 sqm. 

Misr Italia Properties also offers attractive payment plans with only 5% down payment, and up to 9-years instalment plan. It is worth noting that the Landscape of Il BOSCO City is designed by the renowned Italian architect Stefano Boeri.

“Launching two new phases at our flagship project Il BOSCO City New Cairo, whilst introducing the 15-minute city concept, comes within the framework of Misr Italia Properties’ strategy to cope with the ever-growing real estate market by forging its customers’ ideas and hopes into tangible realities,” said the company’s CEO, Mohamed Hany El-Assal, “We always listen to our customers’ demands, and so with the new offering, we aspire to improve the quality of life of Il BOSCO City residents and reduce their everyday pressures.” 

Il BOSCO City is equipped with Smart City technologies, giving users remote access to systems including air conditioning systems, keyless entry, sound system devices throughout the building. This is in addition to advanced security systems, with cameras and motion sensors for security. 

The buildings promote an enhanced energy-efficiency concept in which lights can switch off automatically when no motion is detected. All of these automated tasks, along with modern energy-efficient appliances combine to save on electricity, water and natural gas, thereby reducing the on-going maintenance cost.

Mostakbal City is known as the first smart green city in east Cairo, with a prime location at New Cairo’s extension close to the New Administrative Capital (NAC), centred in the Golden Square Extension and on the East Ring Road. 

With a total investment worth EGP 22bn, Il BOSCO City spans over 268 acres in the heart of Mostakbal City. Last year, Misr Italia Properties launched the first phase of Il BOSCO City, called Sila, of which about 95% has sold out.
