History
An ever-lasting relic of architecture
The Davies Bryan Building, known as El Shourbagy, is a 110-year-old Downtown Cairo landmark designed in 1910 by Welsh architect Robert Williams. With its red-brick façade and Neo-Islamic entrances, it overlooks Adly, Mohamed Farid, and Abdel Khalek Tharwat streets. Acquired by the Shourbagy Brothers in 1947, it still houses retailers like the iconic “Halawa” shop.
The Process
Restoration Process
Al Ismaelia for Real Estate Investment acquired the building in 2008, later renovating and revamping the building entirely in 2015. One of the building’s most sought after spots is its rooftop, which gives an inimitable view of Downtown Cairo’s skyline. This pinnacle Downtown location has also served as a set for several projects, including; films, music videos, ads, and many more. Two of the most notable venues in the building are: “Villa Violette” and “Villa Victoria”.
