Hill International, a global leader in managing construction risk, said it has been awarded a contract to provide project management services for the Madinet Nasr for Housing & Development (MNHD) company’s mega mixed-use projects: Taj City and Sarai in Egypt.

MNHD, a leading public real estate development company founded in 1959 and listed on the Egyptian stock exchange since 1996, envisions Taj City to be Cairo’s cultural destination and Sarai to be Cairo’s entertainment destination.

With easy access to the heart of the Egyptian capital, Taj City will serve as an attractive venue to accommodate luxurious residential units, commercial areas, a world-class hotel, mall, expert medical facilities, and an international school, said a statement from Hill.

With a premium location directly on the Cairo-Suez Road, giving access to all major Cairo districts, Sarai will be a true destination, featuring a variety of residential, commercial, retail, and leisure ventures. As with Taj City, Hill will provide project management services during construction.

As per the deal, the US-based company will also provide project management services during construction.

On the contract win, Waleed Abdel Fattah, senior vice president and Hill’s managing director, Africa, said: "Hill is honoured to be awarded this contract with Madinet Nasr for Housing & Development to help shape Cairo’s real estate future and grow the city’s residential and recreational footprint."
