MASAKA MODERN MARKET

Integrated Market & Bus Park • Masaka Sector, Kicukiro District

“Masaka Modern Market is a fully operational public market that serves Masaka Sector and its environs in Kicukiro District. Coupled with a bus park, it offers affordable working space and has become a key driver of entrepreneurship in the area.”

COMMUNITY-CENTERED TRADING & TRANSIT HUB

Masaka Modern Market consolidates the informal trade that once lined the highway into a safe, serviced and weather-proof complex. The facility delivers orderly stalls, cold storage, waste management and utilities for fresh produce, household goods and agro-products.

The market’s first phase, completed in 2022, links directly to an on-site bus park so traders, commuters and suppliers can access the property with ease. Over 200 business owners already operate from the precinct, benefitting from affordable leases and consistent customer flows.

SMART MANAGEMENT FOR DAILY MARKET LIFE

The facility is designed to keep operating costs minimal while maximizing hygiene and safety. Mechanical ventilation, daylight-filled sheds, drainage upgrades and integrated waste handling keep produce fresh and trading floors clean.

UB CONNECT operates the property through a structured vendor management system, allocating stalls by commodity type, enabling digital fee collection and coordinating logistics between the market and bus park. This ensures reliable utilities, transparent pricing and smooth traffic flow.

Future phases will add cold rooms, mezzanine storage for wholesalers and shaded loading bays, ensuring Masaka Modern Market continues to elevate livelihoods in the district.
