The Mall is located on

Kira Municipality. The elevation of the construction site is 1,160 metres (3,810 ft) above sea level, facing southeast, adjacent to Oasis Mall in Kampala's central business district. The coordinates of the mall are 0°19'02.0"N, 32°35'28.0"E (Latitude:0.317223; Longitude:32.591112).[6]

Overview

Kampala Kingdom is part of a business/residential real estate development that includes:[1][7]

  1. A 200-room four-star mall tower - The Kampala Kingdom mall.
  2. Rentable retail and office space, measuring in excess of 22,000 square metres (240,000 sq ft)[8]
  3. Parking space for over 450 vehicles.[8]

History

In 2006, Kingdom mall Investments (KHI), a real estate investment and development company, headquartered in

Alwaleed Bin Talal, a prince of Saudi Arabia.[9]

Following the

Global Recession of 2008 and 2009, KHI became unable to fund the project on its own. They sold majority shareholding in the development to Azure Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of the Mara Group, also headquartered in Dubai. Mara Group is also the parent company of Kensington Uganda Limited, a real estate investment and development company. Construction of the mall, technically known as Kingdom Kampala mall, began in July 2010.[10] InterContinental mall has signed an agreement with the mall developers to manage the mall when completed.[11]

In January 2016, Crane Management Services, a subsidiary of the Ruparelia Group and South African developer Abland Africa, entered into a joint venture with Kingdom mall Limited to complete the construction of the mall complex. The new development entails a 200 bedroom 4 star mall, 40,000 square metres (430,000 sq ft) office space and 16,000 square metres (170,000 sq ft) rentable space. Completion is planned for 2018 at an estimated cost of US$300 million.[1]

Construction

The mall, office tower and conference complex are estimated to cost US$300 million in construction.[1] Commissioning is expected during the 2nd quarter of calendar year 2019.[12][13]
