Living at Forty West means living in a luxury apartment that is hassle-free and fully finished to the highest specifications. It means having convenient amenities and lots of space.

COMPLETE RESIDENTIAL DESIGN

Forty West has apartment living with great functionality and style, because it is the product of meticulous contemporary design. Every design detail has been carefully thought out.

Boston-based Machado and Silvetti Associates designed and planned Forty West in response to the local climate, setting and people. From the stunning Forty West Piazza to the shaded botanical courtyards and rooftop views, Forty West perfectly matches its time and place.

Egyptian design firm Eklego designed the interiors, using rich materials, advanced technologies and beautifully detailed modern fittings—all sourced from suppliers who provide the uncompromising best quality.

So Forty West is an apartment community that really works, from the big picture down to the smallest unseen feature.

And it works for many different lifestyles, from a single professional to a growing family. From a couple eager to fully enjoy their golden years to an Egyptian expatriate looking to keep a low-maintenance second home in Cairo.

NEIGHBOURHOOD DESIGN FEATURES

CIRCULATION AND ACCESS

Get from your apartment to ground level or the 400- space underground car park within seconds, via carefully positioned elevators at the heart of every building core. A well-designed network of shaded pathways connects the Forty West Piazza with the botanical courtyards and residential areas, seamlessly linking with the pavements of Westown as a whole. Arriving and leaving by car is easy too, via well-placed entry and exit points for cars and pedestrians. Park your car and emerge into the Forty West Piazza or onto the landing right outside your door.

INTELLIGENT LANDSCAPING

Strategically planted trees absorb heat, look beautiful and provide shading at optimal times of the day. The palm grove in the Forty West Piazza casts its shadow over café tables in the mornings and the restaurant terrace in the early evenings. Water features lower the ambient air temperature in courtyards. And sleek garden walls loosely modelled on the mashrabiya of old Cairo protect privacy while letting cooling air through.

BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC AREAS

From the elegantly appointed residents’ rooftop gardens to the marble-clad stairways, every interior space is impeccably designed. Air-conditioned lobbies in all buildings are designed to make you feel comfortable as soon as you step in to the building, with a style and level of furnishing in keeping with everything else at Forty West. And to ensure living that is always luxurious, it’s all kept in top shape by SODIC and Solidere International’s joint property management company.

SECURITY AND SAFETY

A high level of fire protection is provided, including fire and smoke detection in every interior space. And Forty West is a highly secure environment, with closed circuit TV cameras (CCTV) and key card entrance systems. After dark, locked security gates protect residential gardens and buildings, with access by convenient electronic keys and ambient lighting in the gardens to enhance the superb landscaping and ensure that you feel safe.

WELL-CHOSEN MATERIALS

From the palette of sandstone and basalt paving on pathways to the noise and heat insulating double-glazed windows and the custom-designed doors made from rich wood in all apartments, every material has been chosen with care. Building cladding made from sandstone is sturdy, elegant and climate-appropriate. All for durability and style.

GREAT RESIDENT AMENITIES

Living at Forty West means being surrounded by luxurious amenities. The residents’ clubhouse is a superb place for relaxation, with a swimming pool, sauna, spa and exercise room. It also has a function room for special occasions.

In and around your apartment, you will benefit from amenities designed for relaxation and convenience. Central water heating, for example, means there will always be hot water when you turn on the taps, with no need for an unsightly water heater in your apartment. Drop your garbage into the conveniently located chutes, for disposal centrally. And silent central air conditioning will keep your rooms at the perfect temperature, day and night.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING

Terraces are designed to be spacious and as comfortable as the living rooms. Folding glass window walls bring the outdoors in when the air temperature is perfect and let the light in when it’s not. Outdoor fireplaces, pools and whirlpool tubs add visual impact and sumptuous comfort. So that life can move freely between indoors and out.

LUXURIOUS KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS

Kitchens and bathrooms are designed to be large and airy, with imported fittings that match your style and give you maximum luxury, durability and functionality. All kitchens are state-of-the-art and European-made.

GREAT LIGHTING

Automated shading and dimming systems and indirect cove lighting keep the light in every room adjustable and just right. Large windows and skylights let in lots of natural daylight, with architectural features that protect from the heat. Enjoy your home to the fullest, day and night.

SPACE AND CONVENIENCE

Ceilings are high and lofty—up to 3.2 metres— creating a sense of airiness and comfort. Dedicated underground storage for every single apartment keeps your home free of clutter. Walk-in closets, separate laundry area and quarters for a nanny or housekeeper (in some apartments) make life easier.
