SODIC Unveils Africa's Largest Solar-Powered Community in New Zayed

SODIC, one of Egypt’s most prominent real estate developers, has commenced early handovers at VYE, its pioneering residential project in West Cairo. As the first development in New Zayed to deliver ahead of schedule, VYE marks more than just a construction achievement. It reflects SODIC’s continued commitment to excellence, dependability, and on-time delivery, qualities that have long distinguished the company in the real estate landscape. This milestone ushers in a new chapter in suburban living, where modern design, sustainability, and elevated lifestyles intersect seamlessly.

“Live Now”: A Message Rooted in the Present

To commemorate this turning point, SODIC has introduced the “Live Now” campaign, a declaration that VYE is no longer a distant promise, but a community ready for residents to embrace today. The campaign resonates deeply with a shifting mindset among modern homeowners, who increasingly seek a life that is more grounded, more connected to nature, and more centred on the here and now. It’s not just marketing, it’s a reflection of an emerging cultural desire for intentional, present-focused living.

A Future-Forward Community Designed for Sustainability

VYE stands as a landmark project in sustainable urban design. At its heart lies Africa’s largest solar-powered residential initiative and the second largest in the Middle East, a bold commitment to clean energy and reduced environmental impact. The community’s smart infrastructure is designed to minimize energy consumption while enhancing everyday life. From lush green pathways and bicycle-friendly streets to modern co-working spaces and accessible shared amenities, every element supports a lifestyle of conscious, forward-thinking choices. VYE isn’t merely about reducing one’s footprint; it’s about reshaping how people experience their surroundings, fostering healthier and more balanced daily living.

Ayman Amer, General Manager of SODIC, commented: “Delivering VYE ahead of schedule is more than just a construction milestone; it reflects our unwavering commitment to our clients. VYE was built around how people want to live today: consciously, sustainably, and surrounded by everything that matters. It’s no longer a blueprint for the future; it's a reality being lived today”.

From Vision to Reality: A Community Comes Alive

This year, VYE will deliver more than 1,700 homes ahead of schedule, including 452 fully finished, move-in-ready residences, transforming the project from blueprint to thriving neighbourhood. But the momentum doesn’t stop there. The opening of the VYE Town Centre in early 2026 promises to inject energy, retail, and leisure into the heart of the community, while the unveiling of a contemporary Clubhouse in 2027 will offer residents even more opportunities to gather, unwind, and connect. Adjacent to VYE, the upcoming Karmell Hub, set to launch by mid-2026, will further enrich the neighbourhood with new experiences and conveniences, completing the picture of a truly integrated, dynamic living destination.
