HUMAN DEVELOPMENTS
GENUINELY IMPROVE PEOPLE’S QUALITY OF LIFE.
Ever since our inception in 1996, we set our minds on creating Human Developments rather than merely focusing
on bricks and mortar. Our developments consider the elements that genuinely improve people’s quality of life,
creating holistic communities where people can realise their full potential and lead productive, creative lives.
Our belief in Human Developments has always helped us honour our commitments to our clients, providing them
with added value. In doing so, we challenge ourselves by introducing new, exciting projects that deliver on the
most stringent of standards in design, execution and delivery time frames as well as customer
service and property management.
Because of this, we have been able to establish a solid track record of world-class, award-winning developments,
paving the way for SODIC to be at the forefront of the Egyptian real estate market today.

Lying on the east side of Cairo, Villette combines the best of two worlds. It is adequately removed from
the hustle and bustle of city life, yet close enough to New Cairo’s vital attractions. The development
is five minutes away from both Road 90 and Egypt’s New Capital, hence in close proximity to AUC,
Eastown and a number of other high-end residential and retail developments. Strategically positioned
in one of the 5th Settlement’s most attractive spots, Villette’s accessibility does not affect its seclusion
and privacy – making it one of the area’s most sought-after addresses.
