Citystars Heliopolis stands as Cairo’s first fully integrated real estate development of its kind, pioneering a new urban typology in Egypt. This landmark complex combines four international hotels, a vast retail and entertainment hub, exhibition halls, hypermarkets, cinemas, and a wide range of commercial, medical, and leisure facilities—all in one unified destination.

The design language is deliberately thematic and contextual, drawing inspiration from pharaonic architecture while maintaining a distinctly modern, commercially driven aesthetic. The architectural massing is strategically arranged to highlight the development’s central commercial feature: the Stars Centre.

The program includes an impressive 607 retail units, 7 department stores, 34 restaurants, 288 storage units, 16 cinemas, 2 exhibition halls, a food court, and parking for up to 6,000 vehicles. A monumental glass pyramid anchors the development as a symbolic and experiential landmark.

Spanning over 800,000 square meters in New Cairo, the $1.5 billion project comprises four primary components:

Stars Centre: 370,000 sqm of gross area dedicated to retail and entertainment

Star Capital: 70,000 sqm of premium Class A office space

Star Living: upscale residential apartments

Hotel Cluster: InterContinental Cairo Citystars (830 keys), Holiday Inn Cairo Citystars (311 keys), and Staybridge Suites Cairo Citystars (140 serviced apartments)

Citystars Heliopolis represents a bold and comprehensive vision—one that integrates lifestyle, business, and culture into a single urban fabric.
