Latest Core Coverage Note: Al-Shams Housing & Development [ELSH] – Making Hay While the Sun Shines
Sunday Nov 4, 2020
A well-established real estate developer: Al-Shams
Housing & Development [ELSH] has been serving the
Egyptian market since 1946. It began its operation by
renting its own units and later started selling, offering
affordable housing with reasonable payment terms.
Diversified portfolio: ELSH has seven landmark
projects and two active developments, namely
Gardenia in the Sixth of October City and Solana
which will be built on the land it recently acquired in
the New Administrative Capital. As of now, Gardenia is
almost fully developed with an inventory of 470 units
left for sale under a 10-year payment plan and is
offered for immediate delivery. Solana, which is set to
launch in 2021, is ELSH’s first project to be sold
completely off-plan. At a cost of EGP2.2bn, we
estimate Solana will generate revenues of c.EGP3.6bn
