Vitoria Compound project- 2017-Designed by ARCHZONE Design & Build
Highlights of Vittoria Compound:
After thoughtful selection for the most suitable site location, it was decided to build the project in one of the most attractive areas located in the Central Plateau of the Mokattam neighborhood, which is a strategic location in close proximity to all areas in Greater Cairo. The compound will be built on a land area of approximately 7,000 m2, and be stylized using modern architectural design.
Vittoria Compound will be comprised of five towers within a gated and secure community, and five different residential categories will be offered, each with different dimensions and layouts that would suit diversified needs.
