LMD Unveils State-of-the-Art Cooling System to Power One Ninety, Setting a New Standard for Sustainable Urban Living

Landmark Developments (LMD), Egypt’s leading real estate developer, has announced the inauguration of its most advanced cooling system to date, a cutting-edge District Cooling Plant (DCP) delivered in collaboration with Medcom – MLE as contractor and Allied as consultant.

LMD Unveils State

This reflects LMD’s ongoing drive to introduce world-class infrastructure that enhances sustainability across its destinations.

The facility will power One Ninety, LMD’s flagship mixed-use destination in the heart of New Cairo. Strategically located at the intersection of South 90th Street and the Ring Road, One Ninety brings together business, hospitality, retail, and residential experiences in a vibrant, walkable environment.

 

The project is home to Cairo Design District, the Business Quarter, luxury hotels, and curated lifestyle destinations, making it one of Egypt’s most dynamic urban hubs.

 

Marking a major infrastructure milestone for One Ninety, the new DCP is a centralized system that produces and distributes chilled water to the entire development for air-conditioning.

 

Designed for consistent comfort and operational efficiency, it replaces traditional standalone cooling units with a single high-performance network, reducing energy consumption and maintenance requirements while improving reliability.

 

This approach underscores LMD’s commitment to integrating advanced technology into every layer of its development, ensuring both residents and businesses benefit from cost efficiency and an elevated quality of life.

The plant is equipped with world-leading technology and components, including EVAPCO cooling towers, Schneider electrical panels, Elsewedy transformers, and TRANE chillers. Together, these brands bring global-grade performance, ensuring the system operates with precision, durability, and optimal efficiency under varying demand conditions.

Built for scalability, the DCP at One Ninety is designed for robust performance and reliability, featuring a total installed cooling capacity of 9,350 TR.

 

Its electrical chillers achieve a high cooling efficiency of 0.6167 kW per ton, while the system’s full N+1 redundancy ensures continuous operation, with at least one chiller always on standby to meet the development’s operational load and international standards.

Beyond that, real-time monitoring through SCADA and the use of variable-speed drives on pumps and fans allow the plant to adapt dynamically to demand, optimizing energy consumption and reducing wear on equipment.

 

In addition, the cooling towers incorporate automated blowdown, drift eliminators, and chemical dosing, enhancing water efficiency across the system. These features provide a resilient, flexible, and energy-conscious solution tailored to the needs of One Ninety’s diverse mix of buildings, advancing the shift towards a sustainable future.

“We are proud to see the DCP come to life as part of One Ninety. This milestone reflects our commitment to building developments that combine comfort, efficiency, and sustainability,” stated Eng.

 

Amr Sultan, CEO of LMD. “It is an important step in creating an environment where residents, visitors, and businesses can enjoy the very best of what New Cairo has to offer. One Ninety’s cooling system is an investment in that future, combining advanced cutting-edge technology with our commitment to quality and innovation.”

The DCP’s sustainable design integrates a unique hybrid configuration of high-efficiency electric and gas-powered chillers, advanced automation, and smart water management systems to minimize energy use and reduce environmental footprint.

Engineered to deliver consistent cooling with lower emissions and optimized water consumption, the system supports a more resource-efficient urban environment. This aligns with LMD’s broader sustainability approach and highlights the company’s role in shaping lifestyle destinations that balance modern living with environmental responsibility.
