    Sustainable living has become one of the most powerful forces shaping real estate development. Buyers and renters are becoming more environmentally conscious, favoring properties that integrate smart technologies, energy-efficient systems, and eco-friendly materials. This shift is influencing the design of modern residential buildings, including urban rentals like a cairo apartment for rent, where features such as natural ventilation, solar solutions, and green layouts are increasingly expected. Developers who embrace sustainability early are gaining a significant competitive advantage.
