How Roads, Power, and Connectivity Are Transforming Uganda’s Real Estate Market

-

 




Infrastructure is the hidden hand that shapes real estate markets.
In Uganda, from flyovers to fiber-optic cables, it’s turning once-ignored regions into prime investment zones.

In this segment of THREALTY INSIGHTS, we look at how key infrastructure projects are driving real estate growth across the country—and how investors can stay ahead of the curve.

 

1. The Entebbe Expressway: More Than Just a Road

Completed in 2018, the Kampala–Entebbe Expressway is a four-lane toll road linking Entebbe International Airport to the capital.

But it’s not just saving time. It’s changing land value.

  • Areas like Mutungo-Kitiko have seen a rise in land prices and development.
  • Investors and homebuyers are flocking to these zones simply because of access.
  • Commute time matters. People want to avoid bad roads and traffic.

✨ Where roads go, real estate follows.

 

2. The Kampala Flyover Project: Clearing the City

The Kampala Flyover and Road Upgrading Project is designed to separate through-traffic from city traffic, especially from Entebbe and Mpigi into the heart of Kampala.

Key spots like Clock Tower, Shoprite, and Nsambya are getting major upgrades.

What does this mean for real estate?

  • Better traffic flow = more desirable neighborhoods.
  • Areas once written off as “too far” are becoming attractive for developers.
  • Peripheral zones are moving into the spotlight.

🚧 Infrastructure opens doors—literally and financially.

 

3. Utilities, Power & Internet: The New Location, Location, Location

Transport is great, but what about what’s inside the home?

  • Water (NWSC)
  • Electricity (UMEME)
  • Internet (Liquid Technologies & others)

These are just as important as roads.

Case in point: when the power was restored along the Entebbe Expressway, it was a big deal. People noticed. It made the area feel alive again.

💡 Reliable utilities = higher property value
🏡 People want to live where life is easier.

 

Final Thoughts: Infrastructure Is the X-Factor

Uganda’s real estate market is being reshaped by:

  • Roads that connect people.
  • Utilities that make life livable.
  • Projects that unlock new land and reduce congestion.
