Capita Symonds
architects have unveiled plans for a new development in the
Ugandan capital Kampala.
The company has designed the proposed ‘Kampala
Tower’, a 222m high commercial building with public square which
will be a new landmark for the city.
Comprising 60 storeys, it will be the tallest
tower in Africa and will house over 100,000 sq m of office and
retail space for up to 12,500 people. A public plaza at the
entrance will create a new centre for events against the back drop
of the tower and surrounding hills.
The project is currently under review by the
Ugandan government.
