What it is

KERUB advises developers on what to build in Kigali and its growth areas and how it will be run, then administers the project's handover to its owners.

KERUB advises property developers and investors in Kigali and Rwanda's growth areas, including Bugesera, Musanze and Rubavu, on what to build, for whom, and what it will cost to run.

The advice begins before the land is bought and continues through design and sale to a handover where every unit is recorded and its owners' association already in place.

What it covers
Market researchWho will buy or rent, at what price, and what they expect.
Site and area toursKigali's neighbourhoods and growth areas, seen with people who work in them.

How it works
  1. Before the land. Market, area and the questions that decide a site.
  2. Before the design. How it will be run, and what that needs from the plans.
  3. Before the sale. The association and the budget buyers will ask for.
  4. At handover. Every unit checked, recorded and ready to live in.
Questions
When should a developer talk to KERUB?

Before buying land, if possible. Decisions made at that stage, and at design, decide the running costs owners pay for decades.
