The building has two sections. The first section is located at 17 Brazil street and consists of twelve floors and 37 apartment units, whereas the second is located at Aziz Abaza street and consists of eleven floors and 33 apartment units. As of July 2020, sixteen units were inhabited in the first section and 28 units in the second, with the rest being vacated.

On 26 July 2020, a part of the building leaned due to the construction site of the Cairo Metro Line 3 extension towards Giza, leading to the evacuation of the building itself. As a result, the residents of the building were evacuated, and were paid LE30,000 for a temporary accommodation for a month. The building's cracks also affected the adjacent Bahraini embassy.{{Cite news |date=27 July 2020 |title=Zamalek’s leaning building: A nightmare turns into reality |url=https://egyptindependent.com/zamaleks-leaning-building-a-nightmare-turns-into-reality/ |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=Egypt Independent}} The building was later fixed in less than two months and residents were now allowed to reenter.{{Cite news |date=14 September 2020 |title=Residents of evacuated Zamalek building back after fixing damage due to Cairo metro drilling |url=https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/380007/Egypt/Politics-/Residents-of-evacuated-Zamalek-building-back-after.aspx |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=Al Ahram}}
