UB CONNECT / Market Redevelopment

KABUGA MODERN MARKET

Transforming Gahoromani • Future-Ready Mixed Trade & Transit Node

“Kabuga Modern Market is an upgraded version of the existing Gahoromani Market, planned to complement new infrastructure and the nearby national hospital. It aims to enhance trade efficiency and support increased movement of goods and people in the area.”

UPGRADING GAHOROMANI INTO A STRATEGIC URBAN HUB

Kabuga Modern Market reorganizes existing informal trade into a weather-protected, serviced and digitized precinct. The redevelopment opens generous concourses, modular stalls, cold storage and cross-docking bays so farmers, wholesalers and commuters interact efficiently.

The plan is synchronized with the new national referral hospital and the Eastern Corridor masterplan, ensuring that transit, healthcare and commerce reinforce each other. UB CONNECT’s scope includes market sheds, circulation plazas, a transit canopy, supporting utilities and phased vendor relocation.

Status Pre-Construction & Vendor Mobilization

PHASED DELIVERY WITHOUT DISRUPTING TRADE

UB CONNECT is sequencing construction so that priority sheds and transport links come online first, followed by mezzanine storage, rooftop solar and civic amenities. Temporary stalls and digital registration keep merchants operating while new blocks rise.

The management plan integrates bus bays, moto stages, last-mile logistics and hospital queues, minimizing congestion on the Kigali–Rwamagana corridor. Smart metering, cashless stall payments and CCTV-ready infrastructure elevate accountability and safety.

When finished, Kabuga Modern Market will anchor future residential growth, offering dignified space for traders and a welcoming gateway for patients and visitors heading to the new hospital.
