The industry and related activities are located now mainly in Minal-Basal and Kabbari , in the vicinity of highly crowded residential districts .
The industry causes high air pollution and forms one of the limiting factors affecting the development of these old districts in Alexandria.

Such projects can be very attractive, especially to the 4 big banks in Egypt (Misr, Alexandria, National and Cairo), who have cotton storage areas in Minal-Basal and Kabbari of about 60-70 Feddans. The land prices will be very competitive
