Kigali City Tower

Kigali City Tower, one of the most beautiful historical sites in Rwanda, is a high-rise mixed-use office and retail complex in Kigali, Rwanda's capital. The complex comprises a 20-story tower, the country's highest, a four-story commercial center, and a parking block, with leased office space and retail outlets distributed between them. Nakumatt grocery, Bourbon Coffee, and a four-screen theater are among the major retailers. The structure was designed by Rwandan businessman Hatari Sekoko and built by Chinese experts on the site of a disused bus stop. The construction Kigali City Tower began in 2006, and it was completed in 2011.

President Paul Kagame has worked to convert Rwanda from a poor country relying on subsistence agriculture to a middle-income country with a strong service sector since taking office in 2000. Between 2004 and 2010, this program of liberalizing the economy, privatizing state-owned companies, and eliminating red tape for businesses resulted in an annual GDP growth rate of 8%. As the need for office and urban residential space has grown, the building industry has exploded. The structure is made up of three parts: a 20-story tower, a 4-story commercial center, and a 4-story parking garage.
