“La Natura” and “La Valle” will house 220 units and are scheduled to be delivered by 2025.

The 15-minute city concept was first proposed by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris, who got its inspiration from the Sorbonne professor Carlos Moreno in an attempt to improve the quality of life for residents by bringing all necessities and services within a 15-minute reach for everyone.

The newly launched phase, "La Natura", provides a variety of villas that include a Garden Villa with areas up to 218 square meters, a Double View House with an area of 238 square meters, and a Sky Villa with an area of 213 square meters.

The other phase, “La Valle,” offers Spring Villa with an area of 282 square meters, Twin Houses with an area of 257 square meters and Townhouses with an area of 239 square meters. MIP also offers attractive payment plans with only 5% down payment, and up to 9-years installment plan.

It is worth noting that the Landscape of Il BOSCO City is designed by Stefano Boeri, the renowned Italian architect.

“Launching two new phases at our flagship project Il BOSCO City New Cairo, and introducing the 15-minute city concept comes within the framework of Misr Italia Properties’ strategy to cope with the ever-growing real estate market by forging its customers’ ideas and hopes into tangible realities,” commented Mohamed Hany El-Assal, CEO of Misr Italia Properties. “We always listen to our customers’ demands. With the new offering, we aspire to improve the quality of life of Il BOSCO City residents and reduce their everyday pressures.” he concluded.

Il BOSCO City is equipped with “Smart City” technologies giving users remote access to systems including air conditioning systems, keyless entry, sound system devices throughout the building in addition to advanced security systems with cameras and motion sensors for security. The buildings promote an enhanced energy-efficiency concept in which lights can switch off automatically when no motion is detected. All of these automated tasks, along with modern energy-efficient appliances combine to save on electricity, water and natural gas, thereby reducing the on-going maintenance cost.
