Verification path
Follow delivery track record, post-delivery management, financial standing, contract transparency, and build density — instead of judging from one ad or title.
- Delivered units: Can you visit a finished project by this developer?
- Post-delivery management: Is there a named management company with operating experience?
- Financial standing: Are partnerships or funding announced and verifiable?
- Contract transparency: Are specifications and costs written clearly?
- Build density: What are the build ratio, heights, and space quality?
Reference table
24 developers active in Obour and New Obour, each scored on the same five criteria from what the company itself publishes (official site or its own press statements); broker claims do not raise a score. Sorted by total; ties are broken by the delivery record, then post-delivery management. Reviewed August 2026 (first six) and September 2026 (the rest).

How to use the table without turning a score into an ad
Start with the criterion most linked to your risk. If you are buying for near-term residence, delivery and management matter more than a future promise. If you are buying early, financial standing and contract transparency become more sensitive. If you care about quality of life inside the project, build ratio, heights, and open spaces should be part of the comparison.
Do not accept a score without evidence, and do not accept evidence without a date. Published data can change, and projects move from one phase to another. The guide lists the source of each page and asks you to convert any important information into a document before signing.
What you can verify yourself
- Visit a delivered project and check its operating condition.
- Ask for the management company name and maintenance budget.
- Request the funding partnership and its documents.
- Read the specifications and cost annex.
- Check the approved build ratio and heights on the master plan.
How a developer moves up
Every company in the table is scored from its own published record. Any developer that publishes stronger data — delivered units with counts and dates, a named facilities manager, announced financing or partners, written prices and specifications, a build ratio — is re-scored at the next review, and the change is logged on the corrections page.
Before you commit to a developer
Ask for a model contract before reserving, and consult a real-estate lawyer. Some clauses may look standard but carry details that vary by project. Especially for under-construction projects, make sure the contract links delivery to specific construction milestones, not just a calendar date. Keep all payment receipts, request periodic construction updates, and preserve copies of every written communication. These documents become critical if you need to negotiate or escalate later.
