APARTMENTS THAT
HAVE IT ALL
Living at Forty West means living in a luxury
apartment that is hassle-free and fully finished
to the highest specifications. It means having
convenient amenities and lots of space. In every
room, on every terrace and in every public space.
In short, it means having everything you need to
live a full and easy life. All you have to do is make
it your own.

complete RESIDENTIAL design
Forty West has apartment living with great functionality and style,
because it is the product of meticulous contemporary design. Every
design detail has been carefully thought out.
Boston-based Machado and Silvetti Associates designed and
planned Forty West in response to the local climate, setting and
people. From the stunning Forty West Piazza to the shaded
botanical courtyards and rooftop views, Forty West perfectly
matches its time and place.
Egyptian design firm Eklego designed the interiors, using rich
materials, advanced technologies and beautifully detailed modern
fittings—all sourced from suppliers who provide the uncompromising
best quality.
So Forty West is an apartment community that really works, from
the big picture down to the smallest unseen feature.
And it works for many different lifestyles, from a single professional
to a growing family. From a couple eager to fully enjoy their golden
years to an Egyptian expatriate looking to keep a low-maintenance
second home in Cairo.

FEATURES
CIRCULATION AND ACCESS
Get from your apartment to ground level or the 400-
space underground car park within seconds, via
carefully positioned elevators at the heart of every
building core. A well-designed network of shaded
pathways connects the Forty West Piazza with the
botanical courtyards and residential areas, seamlessly
linking with the pavements of Westown as a whole.
Arriving and leaving by car is easy too, via well-placed
entry and exit points for cars and pedestrians. Park
your car and emerge into the Forty West Piazza or
onto the landing right outside your door.
INTELLIGENT LANDSCAPING
Strategically planted trees absorb heat, look beautiful
and provide shading at optimal times of the day. The
palm grove in the Forty West Piazza casts its shadow
over café tables in the mornings and the restaurant
terrace in the early evenings. Water features lower the
ambient air temperature in courtyards. And sleek
garden walls loosely modelled on the mashrabiya
of old Cairo protect privacy while letting cooling
air through.
BEAUTIFUL PUBLIC AREAS
From the elegantly appointed residents’ rooftop
gardens to the marble-clad stairways, every interior
space is impeccably designed. Air-conditioned lobbies
in all buildings are designed to make you feel
comfortable as soon as you step in to the building,
with a style and level of furnishing in keeping with
everything else at Forty West. And to ensure living
that is always luxurious, it’s all kept in top shape by
SODIC and Solidere International’s joint property
management company.

SECURITY AND SAFETY
A high level of fire protection is provided, including fire
and smoke detection in every interior space. And Forty
West is a highly secure environment, with closed circuit
TV cameras (CCTV) and key card entrance systems.
After dark, locked security gates protect residential
gardens and buildings, with access by convenient
electronic keys and ambient lighting in the gardens
to enhance the superb landscaping and ensure that
you feel safe.
WELL-CHOSEN MATERIALS
From the palette of sandstone and basalt paving on
pathways to the noise and heat insulating double-glazed
windows and the custom-designed doors made
from rich wood in all apartments, every material has
been chosen with care. Building cladding made from
sandstone is sturdy, elegant and climate-appropriate.
All for durability and style.

GREAT RESIDENT
AMENITIES
Living at Forty West means being surrounded by
luxurious amenities. The residents’ clubhouse is a
superb place for relaxation, with a swimming pool,
sauna, spa and exercise room. It also has a function
room for special occasions.
In and around your apartment, you will benefit from
amenities designed for relaxation and convenience.
Central water heating, for example, means there will
always be hot water when you turn on the taps, with
no need for an unsightly water heater in your
apartment. Drop your garbage into the conveniently
located chutes, for disposal centrally. And silent
central air conditioning will keep your rooms at the
perfect temperature, day and night.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
Terraces are designed to be spacious and as
comfortable as the living rooms. Folding glass window
walls bring the outdoors in when the air temperature
is perfect and let the light in when it’s not. Outdoor
fireplaces, pools and whirlpool tubs add visual impact
and sumptuous comfort. So that life can move freely
between indoors and out.

Kitchens and bathrooms are designed to be large and
airy, with imported fittings that match your style and

Automated shading and dimming systems and indirect
cove lighting keep the light in every room adjustable
and just right. Large windows and skylights let in lots
of natural daylight, with architectural features that
protect from the heat. Enjoy your home to the fullest,
day and night.
SPACE AND CONVENIENCE
Ceilings are high and lofty—up to 3.2 metres—
creating a sense of airiness and comfort. Dedicated
underground storage for every single apartment keeps
your home free of clutter. Walk-in closets, separate
laundry area and quarters for a nanny or housekeeper
(in some apartments) make life easier.
