The need for affordable housing in Uganda is tremendous. LMI Development Holdings is a company that aims to develop affordable housing for middle-income households, just outside the city of Kampala.

It is estimated the target market consists of 14,000 households, all with an average monthly income of US$1,500 or above. Affordable housing is produced by employing innovative, green, housing solutions and technology. The method saves both time and building costs, and delivers attractive, functional, and quality homes.

The housing units will be grouped in well managed, small community estates located outside of Kampala. To ensure profitability throughout the project, the company has adopted a “build as they sell” market strategy. LMI founder Peter Kulaba, a graduate of BiD Network’s coaching programme, has brought together experts in construction and Ugandan business development to work on this project. Read more
