Consisting of three phases, Murano phase one has been fully delivered and accommodating over 600 families, while the second phase deliveries have begun in 2023 and scheduled to continue throughout this year. Murano’s third phase, Waterside, was launched last year featuring units ranging from 115 to 260 sqm, with construction expected to start during the last quarter of 2024.

Ahdy added that the company has launched sales for Floating Islands, which was established with a modern design inspired by the unique nature of the Murano project and its distinctive masterplan layout where all units enjoy a full view of the Red Sea. Capitalizing on Murano’s unique features such as the third-longest sandy beach in Ain Sokhna spanning approximately 800 meters, diverse unit types and attractive location, the company has achieved total sales of EGP 5 billion in Ain Sokhna in less than 12 months since resuming project sales. This success fortifies the company’s position, which it has maintained since its inception, as the top-selling developer in Ain Sokhna, with a market share exceeding 20% of sales over the past year.

Its smart infrastructure allows customers to work remotely, which is in line with the current global trend towards working from home, positioning Murano as a perfect second home, where residents can seamlessly transition between work and leisure. This makes it possible to maintain professional productivity while enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the red sea.
