Uptown 6 October and Sky Capstone Real Estate Sign Strategic Partnership to Expand Egyptian Presence in the UAE Market

Uptown 6 October for Real Estate Development, a leading Egyptian real estate developer, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Dubai-based Sky Capstone Real Estate specialized in property brokerage, to market and sell Uptown’s residential, commercial, and administrative projects in the UAE.

Under the agreement, Sky Capstone will serve as Uptown’s exclusive partner for promoting and marketing its portfolio of apartments, villas, and mixed-use projects across the UAE. This milestone marks a significant step in Egyptian–Emirati real estate cooperation, capitalizing on the growing demand among GCC investors for opportunities in Egypt’s property market, particularly from Egyptian expatriates living in the Gulf.

The partnership comes at a pivotal moment in Egyptian–UAE economic relations. In the first half of 2025, purchases of Dubai real estate by Egyptians increased by 150% compared to the same period in 2024. At the same time, major UAE investments, including the landmark USD 35 billion Ras El Hekma project announced in February 2024 have reinforced Egypt’s position as a prime investment destination.

According to Knight Frank, total GCC investment in Egyptian real estate has reached around USD 115 billion, highlighting strong regional confidence in the market.

This collaboration reflects key trends shaping the regional property landscape: increased cross-border investment, greater engagement from high-net-worth GCC investors and Egyptian expatriates, and a diversified client base. Uptown will benefit from Sky Capstone’s deep local expertise in sales and marketing within the UAE, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements to safeguard client rights and guarantee smooth transactions. The partnership also opens doors for future expansion into other Emirates and GCC countries, alongside opportunities for collaboration with regional partners.

In addition to these strategic prospects, the partnership underscores the full commitment of both companies to regulatory compliance in Egypt and the UAE, including property registration, advertising standards, and customer protection. The agreement establishes a transparent legal framework, naming Dubai Courts as the competent authority for disputes, and ensuring a secure, seamless, and high-quality client experience.

The new partnership will include marketing campaigns across digital and traditional channels, as well as exclusive investor-focused events. Sky Capstone will manage client engagement from initial inquiries through negotiations, while Uptown will remain responsible for final contract execution. Together, the partners aim to uphold the highest standards of transparency, professionalism, and service excellence.
