City Gate is a mixed use community of approximately 8.5 million m2 located about 40 kilometers east of downtown Cairo along the eastern boundary of New Cairo City.
Sites International is commissioned to design the landscape, from concept to tender documents, for two primary villa districts, one apartment buildings cluster, and the Civic Park all released in the first phase of the development. The difficult site topography of the first two districts required major landscape design modifications, with particular attention to specialty designs as site enabling and setting out packages as well as security systems, to enhance dramatically the number of villas with access views of the golf course and the Civic Park.
The Civic Park features a large water pond located within gardens and plaza spaces creating a ceremonial and signature arrival into the community. Each neighborhood displays multiple pocket parks with their streets wrapped in shade trees, vividly colored groundcover, flowering shrubs, seating areas, playgrounds, open turf for informal play areas all
