Madinet Masr's SAFE opens fractional property investment in Egypt from EGP 5,000

Egyptian real estate developer Madinet Masr has launched a fractional real estate investment offering through its digital platform SAFE, with investment opportunities starting at EGP 5,000.

The offering recorded strong initial demand, with more than 3,100 investment shares sold on the first day, reflecting investor interest in more accessible and flexible ways to participate in Egypt's real estate market.

Through SAFE, investors gain fractional exposure to selected real estate assets without purchasing an entire property. Investors make a one-time payment for their investment shares, with no subsequent instalments or payment schedules, and the platform offers access to opportunities from Madinet Masr and other leading developers.

Since its launch, SAFE has sold more than 23,000 investment shares to over 5,200 investors, while more than 40% of its investors have returned to invest in additional opportunities, according to the company.

SAFE currently manages more than EGP 1bn in assets under management and has distributed over EGP 50m in rental income to investors, while its application has recorded more than 175,000 installs.

A key component of the offering is an investor-to-investor resale marketplace that allows investors to offer some or all of their shares for resale before the targeted exit of the underlying asset. To date it has facilitated the resale of more than 1,900 investment shares, with selected transactions recording annualised returns exceeding 40%.
