Kodak passageway is a linear space that connects Adly Street to Abdel Khalek Tharwat. In 2015, the passageway has been renovated based on a design workshop organized by CLUSTER, in collaboration with the Danish Egyptian Dialogue Institute (DEDI), and the Centre for Culture and Development (CKU). The workshop aimed at promoting a more accessible and inclusive public space, resulting in transforming Kodak’s passageway into a pedestrian park.

Al Ismaelia for Real Estate Investment acquired Kodak building in 2008 and is using the 3rd and 4th floor as the company’s main headquarters.
