Constructions works of Vision City Phase II will break ground in September 2025, officials have said. The development will be three times larger than the first phase and is expected to deliver nearly 1,500 residential units in Gacuriro, Gasabo District. According to Louise Kanyonga, the deputy chief executive at Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB), the country's largest real estate developer, the project will feature a mix of villas, townhouses, and apartments. The development is being spearheaded by Ultimate Developers Limited (UDL), a subsidiary of RSSB. “We have got the model units up, ready for viewing, we have got apartments, villas, town houses. And this is really an opportunity both for residential and investment,” Kanyonga said during Rwanda Convention 2025, an event that brought together the Rwandan diaspora in the United States. Model house construction began in November 2023. Kanyonga maintained that the upcoming phase follows the near sell-out of units in Vision City I. “The residential units you have in Vision City I are almost sold out... We’re starting the second phase in September,” she said. Phase II will also include amenities that were missing in the earlier phase, in a bid to create a self-contained urban environment. These include healthcare facilities, schools, supermarkets, gyms, and entertainment options. According to UDL, sustainability is a key focus. The homes will be equipped with solar panels, solar thermal water heating, energy-efficient plumbing, smart appliances, wellness features, and air quality sensors. According to UDL, these features strengthen the appeal of the project to both local and international investors. “They will enhance our marketing endeavors, particularly in appealing to investors keen on green communities or international entities seeking sustainable office spaces, Damien Murwanashyaka, UDL CEO, said in a previous interview. This also presents Rwandans with the chance to reside and work in environmentally friendly developments, he added. Officials say that the investment also aligns with Rwanda’s recent Green Growth and Climate Resilience National Strategy (GGCRS), which aims to achieve energy security and a low-carbon energy supply. Rwanda targets a 38 percent reduction in emissions by 2030.
