Investment opportunity overview
City Hub is a fully integrated commercial project primarily owned by the Egyptian company Akel Bety and consists of two complexes:
- An existing branch in Nasr City – Cairo, currently operating, hosting well-known brands, and generating regular rental income.
- A branch under construction in Mansoura City, distinguished by an exceptional location directly on Al-Mashaya Street, overlooking the Nile, in front of the Faculty of Medicine – Mansoura University, and just a 3-minute walk away.
The project is designed to be a distinguished commercial and entertainment destination including:
- Restaurant and café units with indoor and outdoor seating
- Food court area
- Retail units with Nile views
- Vending machines and ATMs
- Digital advertising screens
- Parking for 200 cars
The project is located in a vibrant area attracting more than 200,000 targeted visitors daily, including university students, club members, residents of the area, visitors, and the population of Mansoura City itself, covering a clear gap in the restaurants and cafés market in the region.
Zeedats Capital has acquired a 50% stake in the City Hub project. The total number of shares for the entire project is 1,600, of which Zeedats Capital owns 800 shares. Investors are offered the opportunity to purchase permanent investment shares within this project, distributed over 800 shares, noting that only 600 shares are available for sale.
The investment grants you the right to net returns from the project’s profits until the end of 2027 for the Nasr City mall and until the end of 2040 for the Mansoura mall, with the possibility of offering your share for sale according to sales policies and conditions. Please note that there is no option for direct refund of the investment amount paid.
All returns are estimated in US dollars, while income is received in Egyptian pounds, so currency exchange differences must be considered. They are based on realistic feasibility analysis and actual experience from the already operating mall.
City Hub complexes are not based on the principle of purchasing land and building a commercial mall on it. Instead, the project is established on government-owned land under a usufruct (lease/guarantee) granted to Akel Bety to set up the project. Construction relies on steel structures rather than concrete, which facilitates maintenance, relocation, and modification, reduces project costs, and increases returns due to lower construction expenses compared to the expected revenues.
Capital recovery is expected within 2–3 years, with income distributed every three months, and annual growth estimated at 10%. Income is distributed among investors according to the number of shares they own.
Summary of investment and returns in the project
Profits are distributed quarterly (every three months) to investors. Investors may also resell their shares at any time through the platform after submitting a request in accordance with the share sales policies and conditions. The invested amount cannot be directly refunded under any circumstances.

Risk Management
Thanks to this strong professional foundation, the company has successfully overcome the initial risk stages, whether in restaurant management or mall development, and has now entered a phase of stability and planned expansion. With the growing demand for rental shops in both existing and under-construction malls, along with the stable operational performance of restaurants, current risks can be considered very low or almost negligible, which enhances the company’s prospects for sustainable growth in the local and international markets.
In addition, Akel Bety guarantees the secured income from City Hub 1 – Nasr City Mall in Cairo through already signed contracts and security deposits. Zeedats Capital has full visibility of all signed lease contracts in City Hub 1 and of the memorandums of understanding related to new reservations in City Hub 2 – Mansoura Mall.
Currency risk management (Egyptian Pound) is handled by entering into lease agreements and contract renewals every 3–5 years with the same tenants, converting the rent from USD to EGP based on the dollar’s value at the time.
Risk ratio
- A strategic location in the heart of Mansoura, with high and stable demand.
- A limited number of units (only 23 shops), making it easier to fully lease.
- Existing and ongoing contracts with major international and well-known local brands.
- Tenants’ commitment to paying deposits and financial securities, reducing the risk of contract termination.
- Proven operational expertise from Akel Bety Company, the partner responsible for management and operations.
- Clear, documented contracts governing the relationship between Zeedats Capital and Akel Bety, ensuring governance and oversight.

Profit distribution
Profits are distributed to investors on a quarterly basis (every three months), including the revenues collected from both projects:
- City Hub 1 – Nasr City: The currently operating mall
- City Hub 2 – Mansoura City: The mall under construction, expected to open in 2026
🧾 Distribution Mechanism:
- Profits are transferred quarterly, with returns calculated monthly based on the pace of lease contract signings and collections.
- 10% administrative fees are deducted from any income earned by the investor, covering operations, monitoring, and reporting.
- The original revenues are tied to the local currency (Egyptian Pound), and profits are converted to US dollars according to the exchange rate before distribution.
- Investors can receive profits in US dollars only.
Zeedats Capital provides regular financial reports including details of distributed profits, occupancy rates, and project progress updates, ensuring full transparency in operations and continuous follow-up.
Start of profit distribution
Profits are distributed to investors on a quarterly basis (every three months), and include the revenues collected from both projects:
- City Hub 1 – Nasr City: The existing mall that is already generating actual income.
- City Hub 2 – Mansoura: The mall under construction, expected to start generating income before the end of Q1 2026, at the time of opening.
In case lease contracts are signed in advance before the opening of the Mansoura branch, the resulting profits will be distributed immediately, meaning that returns may begin before the official launch date.
🔻 Distribution Start Date
Profit distribution begins after 3 months from the date of share purchase, taking into account the following:
- The existing mall (City Hub 1 – Nasr): Already generates actual income, and profits are distributed regularly every three months.
- The new mall (City Hub 2 – Mansoura): Profits depend on the timing of lease contracts and occupancy speed, and may begin before the official opening if advance contracts are signed.
📌 Note: Profit distribution depends on the actual revenues collected from tenants according to market supply and demand. The more contracts signed, the higher the generated income, and consequently the higher the profit distributions.
📢 Investors are notified of the date of the first official distribution through in-platform notifications, periodic reports, and announcements via Zeedats Capital’s official channels, in addition to personal follow-up from the project manager and each investor’s dedicated investment account manager.
Project Fees (Fees Charged by Zeedats Capital)
Share Sale Possibility
- Shares are listed for sale based on priority (who offers first is sold first). When other investors purchase shares in the project and it reaches your turn and your share is sold, the sale is considered successful and the amount is transferred to you after deducting the fees.
- The sale process depends on the presence of interested investors to purchase the shares, and execution takes place according to the queue.
- Upon completing the sale, 10% of the total sale value is deducted in favor of Zeedats Capital (i.e., the full gross amount of the share sale price).
- A 16% tax is imposed on the seller’s net profit resulting from the sale transaction (i.e., the profits earned, not the entire amount).
