Real Estate Development in Egypt: From Self-Building to Collective Ownership | SharikHome
Par Admin · 17/09/2026
Before the era of the "real estate developer," people were the project owners themselves.
In the past, owning a home didn't mean simply buying a finished product from a company.
Land had owners who built for themselves, while contractors and engineers worked on the owner's behalf.
As cities expanded during the 18th and 19th centuries, organized real estate development grew: larger tracts of land, neighborhood planning, and the mass construction of units for sale to the public.
By the 20th century, the model we recognize today became the norm:
The developer buys the land → plans → builds → markets → sells the unit to you.
This is where our role gradually shifted...
From project owners building for themselves
To customers buying a project built by someone else.
💡 So... what if we used technology to restore the owner to the role of project initiator?
That is one of the ideas behind SharikHome.
Instead of buying a finished product, you can join forces from the very beginning with people who share your needs and preferences, and build your project together.
🤝 Form a group
📍 Select the land
🏗️ Hire the professionals
🗳️ Make decisions together
📊 Track costs and construction transparently
🏠 And in the end, every member owns their own unit
We aren't inventing a new concept...
We are using new tools to revive an old one:
You are the project owners.
SharikHome
Build together... Own together.
