After five years of development, TLG Living Group has unveiled its second real estate project, Vista Naguru apartments now officially open for purchase.
Situated on the tranquil hilltops of Naguru, the upscale project spans 12 floors on 0.23 acres and comprises 31 apartments ranging from two to five bedrooms, including duplex penthouses.
The prices start from Shs 350 million and rise up to Shs 700 million, depending on unit size and layout. Each apartment, ranging from 120 to 450 square metres, comes with its own land title, offering clarity of ownership under Uganda’s leasehold land system.
Speaking at the official launch on Friday, TLG director, Sheena Ruparelia, said the development responds directly to Uganda’s growing housing deficit, which now stands at 2.4 million units.
She described the vertical housing model as both a practical and sustainable response to the country’s rapid urbanisation and shrinking urban land.
She said land in Kampala is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. Amenities at Vista Naguru include a rooftop bicycle track, a swimming pool, a children’s play area, a community park, and panoramic views of Kampala’s skyline, features the developers say are often missing in mid-range residential projects.
While labour remains relatively affordable, Sheena noted that the high cost of raw materials continues to challenge developers. Nonetheless, she affirmed TLG’s commitment to quality finishes and lasting value.
Community-centred vision
Beyond building for the market, TLG is also positioning itself as a community-first developer. According to TLG managing director Ray Sakaria, the group recently drilled a borehole near the project site to provide free clean water to the surrounding neighbourhood.
“We saw children walking long distances with empty jerrycans,” Sakaria said. “We had the means to help, and we did. We also made a commitment to the local leadership that we wouldn’t charge for the water.”
With Uganda’s middle class expanding, Sakaria noted that more people are prioritising home ownership over luxury spending, such as cars. He said TLG’s flexible payment options, including quarterly instalments, are designed to make property ownership more accessible.
