Rwanda Development Board (RDB) CEO Jean Guy Africa, on Monday, August 25, laid the foundation stone for Ramba Hills, a mega $80 million real estate project in Kacyiru, Kigali.

He referred to Rwanda's Vision 2050, which aims to build a modern and inclusive economy, saying developments like this are steps toward building the “city of the future.” Located in Kacyiru close to King Faisal Hospital and stretching toward Vision City and the Kigali Golf Course, the development will take four years to complete and aims to reshape Kigali’s urban landscape. The plan includes two high-rise towers: one will be 26 floors and house residential apartments, while the other will rise 24 floors and serve as an office block. Four other towers, ranging between 10 and 16 floors, will accompany the main buildings. Ten single-storey residential buildings will face the golf course, designed to offer a quieter living space with a view. The site will also feature landscaped gardens, a large swimming pool, and wide internal roadways for accessibility.

According to the construction timeline, the residential houses will be ready within 18 months, apartments within two and a half to three years, and the office block by the end of the fourth year.
