Our schedule to complete the project is by April 2028. So tentatively one could move in June 2028 after snags and placing of furniture. Rentals can be pre-booked through the local agents or social media.

1. Buying off-plan means you can secure your unit or plot before or during construction, often at a lower cost than waiting for completion. Over time, as construction completes and demand rises, value tends to appreciate.
2. In Dar es Salaam, the wider residential market is underpinned by urbanisation, infrastructure growth, and expanding demand for new housing.
3. Dar es Salaam is seeing substantial infrastructure development and urban expansion; being early allows you to take advantage of “first-mover” benefits near upcoming amenities. For example, the evolving residential demand is strong.
4. Construction costs tend to rise over time (labour, materials, regulatory cost) so by buying off-plan, you may “pre-pay” for future value at today’s cost.
5. Once completed, a modern new-build property can attract premium rentals (especially to expats, professionals, foreign investors) and thereby deliver yield and capital appreciation.
6. If you engage at an early stage, you have more choice of layout, orientation, unit type (e.g. premium view / beach-front), or better payment terms (installments, launch discounts). Off-plan allows you to “lock in” future value and features.
