UB CONNECT / Mixed-Use Vision

NTARE VILLAGE

City of Kigali Partnership • Kagugu, Rwanda

“In partnership with the City of Kigali, UB CONNECT Ltd will develop NTARE Village—an innovative mixed-use project addressing demand for upscale residential living and commercial spaces. Strategically located in Kagugu, the village will blend ultra-premium villas, affordable apartments and dynamic retail to serve both businesses and the local community.”

A NEW URBAN CENTER FOR KAGUGU

Ntare Village reimagines a key Kagugu land parcel into a layered community where luxury villas, townhomes and attainable apartments share amenities with street-level retail, offices, hospitality and civic spaces. Walkable blocks, shaded promenades and generous courtyards invite residents, workers and visitors to mingle throughout the day.

The masterplan, shaped with the City of Kigali, focuses on integrated infrastructure—district utilities, mobility corridors, public transport links and sustainable landscaping—to support long-term growth in Gasabo and respond to Kigali’s housing pipeline.

Location Kagugu, Gasabo District

Project Type Mixed-Use Residential & Commercial

Status Planning & Pre-Construction

PHASED DELIVERY WITH PUBLIC-PRIVATE ALIGNMENT

UB CONNECT is leading masterplanning, infrastructure coordination and stakeholder engagement in tandem with the City of Kigali. Phase 1 prioritizes bulk services, arterial roads and the first residential clusters, while later phases introduce commercial blocks, community institutions and public plazas.

Design guidelines ensure architectural cohesion across different housing typologies, while sustainability frameworks guide water management, renewable energy readiness and landscape preservation. Leasing strategies will attract anchor retailers and service providers that activate the village from morning to late evening.

As Ntare Village progresses, governance structures will embed residents, businesses and city agencies within a single management platform for long-term stewardship.
