Verona North Coast

Verona North Coast Resort is a resort project on Egypt's North Coast (the "Sahel", الساحل الشمالي). It is being developed by Verona Real Estate Development Company, whose official website calls it the company's first project. The site lists the planned amenities. It does not give prices, unit sizes, the number of units or a delivery date.

The developer

The company's About page says it was founded with Egyptian and Gulf experience. It says it wants to become the leading real estate service provider in Egypt and to build client relationships on transparency and trust. These are the company's own words, not an independent assessment. On the site, the project is called both "Verona North Coast" and "Verona North Coast Resort". Its Arabic name is "فيرونا الساحل الشمالى".

Several North Coast developments have similar names. Before you deal with anyone, check that they represent Verona Real Estate Development Company, using the contact details below.

Amenities listed by the developer

The "Facilities" page of the official website lists:

• 16 swimming pools, including an indoor pool for women, plus 6 private pools;
• an artificial sea with waves and 4 aqua parks;
• a private beach;
• a football pitch and courts for handball, basketball, volleyball, beach volleyball and tennis, plus 2 "soap" courts (football played on a soapy surface);
• a gym, spa, sauna and jacuzzi, and a beauty centre;
• an oriental kitchen with a bakery, plus restaurants and cafés;
• shops, a "Mega Market", a pharmacy and ATMs;
• a childcare "Nanny Center", a medical clinic and a gaming zone;
• hotel units (the number is not given);
• Wi-Fi, golf carts and 24-hour security.

The developer lists these amenities but does not say which ones are already open and which are still to be built.

Location

The project's name places it on Egypt's North Coast. The official website does not give the resort's address, its kilometre marker on the coastal road or the nearest town. Ask the developer for the exact location and a site map.

Construction progress

This listing marks the project as under construction. The official website has a "Construction Updates" page with about thirty photos, but none of them has a dated caption or a description of the phase shown. You can't tell from it how far the work has gone. Ask the developer for a written, dated progress report and the delivery schedule.

What is not published

• unit types (chalets, villas, apartments) and their sizes;
• total number of units and land area;
• prices, down payment and payment plan;
• delivery date and maintenance fees;
• land status and building permits.

Ask the developer for these in writing. If you are buying in Egypt, also have the contract and title documents reviewed by a local lawyer.
