The ongoing construction of the Konza Technopolis Affordable Housing Project is aimed at addressing the housing needs of one of Africa's premier purpose-built smart cities and technology hubs.
Implemented under the Boma Yangu Programme, Phase I comprises 11 G 9 residential blocks and will deliver 1,042 housing units, including Affordable Housing Programme (AHP) and market-rate units, tailored for tech professionals, students and workers within Konza Technopolis.
Residents will benefit from modern amenities, including borehole water supply, 24-hour backup power, integrated ICT connectivity, enhanced security, cabro-paved roads, green spaces, recreational areas and commercial facilities within selected blocks.
Finishing works, including tiling, painting and terrazzo installation, are currently ongoing.
The project is creating jobs and enhancing skills among local communities, with over 500 workers currently engaged on site. Youth and women from the region form a significant portion of the workforce, gaining valuable construction experience and contributing to the growth of the local economy.
Following the successful progress of Phase I, construction of Phase II has already commenced and will deliver an additional 2,000 housing units alongside supporting social infrastructure, including a primary school, secondary school and hospital.
The Konza Affordable Housing master plan targets the development of 10,000 housing units.
To support the successful delivery of the project, the State Department for Internal Security and National Administration continues to provide a secure and conducive environment, coordinate government agencies and facilitate stakeholder collaboration to ensure timely implementation of this transformative development.
