SODIC Ogami full project guide

What Is Nobu Ogami?

Nobu Ogami is the name given to the Nobu-branded component within SODIC’s Ogami development at KM 205 on Egypt’s North Coast. The 440-acre masterplan, designed by internationally ranked DLR Group, is built around three Nobu elements: a hotel, a residences collection (branded villas), and a signature Nobu restaurant. Together, these three components form Nobu’s first coastal hospitality presence in Egypt and one of the most significant branded residence launches on the North Coast in 2026.

Nobu Ogami sits within a masterplan that allocates 85 percent of its total area to open green space and water. The built environment accounts for 15 percent of the 440 acres, giving Nobu Ogami one of the lowest residential density footprints of any project currently selling in the Ras El Hekma zone.

Who Are the Developers Behind Nobu Ogami?

SODIC (Sixth of October Development and Investment Company) is the Egyptian developer behind Ogami. Listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange since 1996, SODIC brings two decades of residential and mixed-use delivery experience to the project, including Caesar SODIC at KM 82 and SODIC June at KM 90 on the same North Coast corridor.

Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi’s largest listed real estate developer, is SODIC’s partner at Ogami. Aldar’s partnership with SODIC on the North Coast flagship signals the kind of cross-border institutional confidence that differentiates Ogami from privately held developers operating in the same zone. Both companies are exchange-listed, both publish audited financials, and both have delivered major real estate projects at scale.

What Is the Nobu Brand and Why Does It Matter?

Nobu was founded by chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, actor Robert De Niro, and producer Meir Teper. The brand started with a single restaurant on 57th Street in New York City and has grown into one of the most globally recognised luxury hospitality names: 50-plus restaurants across five continents, hotels in London, Miami, Barcelona, Chicago, Los Cabos, and Malibu, and a branded residences portfolio that carries the same Japanese-Peruvian culinary identity into private ownership.

The Nobu at Ogami decision followed SODIC’s launch of Nobu’s first Egypt presence at EDNC (Eastown District New Cairo), where a 160,000-square-foot Nobu restaurant and hotel are being delivered with Rockwell Group as the design firm. The same Rockwell Group, known for weaving Japanese minimalism with local cultural identity, handles Nobu Ogami’s interiors. What SODIC established in New Cairo as Nobu’s Egyptian debut, Nobu Ogami delivers on the Mediterranean coast.

What Are the Three Nobu Components at Ogami?

Nobu Hotel

The Nobu Hotel at Ogami brings the brand’s five-star hospitality standard to the Ras El Hekma coastline at KM 205. Hotel guests have access to all Nobu Ogami amenities including the signature restaurant, beach club, wellness centre, and the resort’s seven-district masterplan. The hotel anchors the Nobu ecosystem within the wider Ogami development.

Nobu Residences (Branded Villas)

Nobu Residences at Ogami are a collection of branded villas within the 440-acre masterplan. Owners receive access to Nobu hotel services, Nobu dining, and the full lifestyle infrastructure of the resort. Branded villa pricing starts from EGP 56,016,000. The product is a serviced residence model , Nobu manages and operates the branded elements, so owners hold a private villa with a hotel-grade service layer.

Nobu Restaurant

The Nobu signature restaurant at Ogami brings the brand’s Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine to the North Coast. Nobu restaurants are destination dining in every city they operate: the New York original, Nobu Malibu, Nobu London, and now Nobu New Cairo (open) and Nobu Ogami (in delivery). The restaurant operates as a standalone destination within the resort, accessible to both hotel guests and Nobu Residence owners.

What Are the Seven Districts of Ogami?

• Nobu Hotel, Residences and Restaurant district: the hospitality core of the masterplan.

Final Word

Nobu Ogami is the clearest statement SODIC has made about what the Ras El Hekma zone can become. A 440-acre masterplan by DLR Group, 85 percent open space, a Nobu Hotel and signature restaurant on the Mediterranean coast at KM 205, and branded villas that carry the most globally recognised Japanese hospitality name into private ownership in Egypt.

The Nobu brand chose Egypt twice: New Cairo first, the North Coast at Ogami second. That sequence matters. It means Nobu is building a genuine Egypt presence, not executing a one-off branded deal. For buyers evaluating Ras El Hekma, Nobu Ogami is the zone’s clearest answer to the question of which project carries the most internationally credible hospitality anchor.
