MCHIKICHINI PROJECT

NSSF Partner

The USD 450m project in which the fund expects to partner with Ilala Municipal Council and Symmetric Link of Malaysia is scheduled for completion in 2013.

According to the fund’s senior investment officer, Salvatory Hinju at least 30 acres of land have been acquired for the project.

“It is a huge investment which once completed will be more than the Mlimani City mall and is expected to improve the skyline of Dar es Salaam,” he said.

Under the plan, Hinju said, the fund is going to construct three high rise office towers, a three storey shopping mall, recreation park, cinema centre and three residential towers with apartments to cater across three different segments of the population (to be sold to interested individuals).

The project’s initial study, according to him, shows that the low cost apartments will comprise 480 units in a 15 storey building, 1,165 units in a 25 storey medium cost apartments and 604 units in a 30 storey building for luxury apartments.

Apart from residential houses, he said, the business complex will comprise shopping malls, supermarkets, banks, a five star hotel and a three star hotel.

He said a block will be constructed to accommodate about 300 inhabitants of the Ilala Municipal Council houses located in the project area to give room for demolition.

These will be given preferential rates to buy apartments in the block and those who will opt to just be tenants will pay rent at an affordable rate, he said.

The Mchikichini project is one among the fund’s many investment projects that will not only serve as the fund’s source of income, but will also create employment and help solve the city’s housing crisis, he added.
