Leadership

The official profile describes Dr Mohamed Karrar as Chairman and CEO, overseeing acquisition, financing and management across the diversified portfolio. The group leadership page also identifies Adam Karrar as a vice chairman alongside functional executives.

An executive title does not prove sole ownership of each subsidiary or project. Use the contract and corporate documents for the entity that owns land, takes reservations and signs the final sale agreement.

Real estate portfolio

Maxim Country Club — New Cairo

The official page places Maxim Country Club off North 90th Street, opposite the American University in Cairo campus. It covers 85 acres and contains 320 standalone villas, a mall and a clubhouse.

Maxim Residence and Heliopolis Residences

Both appear in the official group portfolio. Before publishing live inventory, verify the exact location, phase, contractual entity, availability and whether the listing is a developer sale or resale. “Residence” is a generic property term and weak entity matching can create false duplicates.

Royal Maxim and hospitality assets

Royal Maxim can refer to different real estate and hospitality components, while Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski includes a hotel operator relationship. The hotel brand is not automatically the developer, and homes near a hotel are not hotel inventory unless the contract says so.

Canal Residences and Maxim Plaza

These also appear in the group portfolio. Each needs its own use class—residential, commercial, office or hospitality—and a verified owning company. A group profile is not a substitute for project-level due diligence.

Bo Islands and Bo Sands — mandatory correction

  • retain Maxim as former developer or Phase 1 developer where documents support that role;
  • record The Marq as the later owner/developer of remaining phases based on the announcement and the unit contract;
  • do not rewrite the developer on an already delivered unit without reading its phase documents;
  • do not assume Bo Sands was included in the same transaction without explicit evidence.

Prices and availability — 19 August 2026

There is no meaningful group-wide starting price. Nawy currently separates a Maxim Group record from a Maxim Developments record. The latter displayed available stock from approximately EGP 2.98 million on the review date, but that figure must not be presented as an official price for every MIG asset.

Every price should be tied to a project, phase, unit, area, sale type, observation date, finishing, delivery date, maintenance charge and contractual seller. The identity of the signing company is especially important after an acquisition.

Buyer strengths and checks

  1. the legal company on the reservation and final contract;
  2. the landowner and licensed developer;
  3. the project and phase affected by any ownership transfer;
  4. construction and delivery evidence;
  5. the party operating common areas or hotel services;
  6. resale dues, assignment approval and club membership;
  7. the total cash-equivalent cost rather than the instalment headline.

Frequently asked questions

1

When was Maxim founded?

MIG’s official history starts in 1976 and places Maxim Development in 2005. The 1980 date used by some directories relates to another timeline entry and should not replace the official sequence without explanation.

2

Who leads Maxim Investment Group?

Dr Mohamed Karrar is identified as Chairman and CEO on his official group profile.

3

Does Maxim still own Bo Islands?

Maxim announced that The Marq acquired Maxim Real Estate, the owner of Bo Islands, and took the remaining phases after Phase 1. Check the contract for the exact phase and entity.

4

Are Maxim Group and Maxim Developments the same database entity?

They are related parent and development names, but their legal and contractual roles should remain separate. The group page covers the wider portfolio; the development record covers projects attributed to that arm.

5
