The way I'm introverted and can work remotely I can actually live in one of the homes 😂😂😍

I stayed in this estate for my 2017 holiday in Dar. Yes, the estate is very beautiful and very quiet, the weather is good as it is close to the beach. The main issue is that there are no shops nearby if you need any thing. The main road is a bit far and there is no public transport to get you to the main road, lucky we had our own car.

If there no schools, shopping malls, hospitals it’s a no go place indeed

I am amazed that they spent 80 million on those places, but they dont have grocery shops, restaurants, movie theater and other activities, gas stations, over there. I mean, inside the area.

As a foreigner you can not buy the home outright.Only available to Tanzanians.But if this was Zanzibar the land laws are different !!!

Price alone cannot be the reason. May be the Estate is not close to most people's working area, or that 'nearby' places he mentioned have a much lower rent than this gated community. I suspect the développers didn't do a comprehensive market research prior to this construction.

Good video. But it would've be great if you had a chance to interview the management there to find out exactly what's going on, why so many empty apartments. And also how to buy one if someone is interested.

The rent of $300 isn't high, it's actually standard for a house and maybe low for middle income areas in Dar and $100K for a house is actually very very normal. The problem was marketing and location of the project (most mid income and high income people traditionally prefer to live in Kinondoni, Ubungo and ilala districts). Kigamboni is a very new area and when that project was being developed, the area was considered to be a remote area to the most of their intended market.

I am 101% Sure, the marketing was terrible, but such homes are actually pretty affordable to many people, and they would make ideal quiet weekend homes away from the city! If this were in Kenya, they would have sold out before it was finished due to our strong marketing culture here in Kenya.

Drone pictures of the total area would be great..

Marketing was the issue. Maybe they should have partnered with an affordable private school and mall/shopping Centre. Built entry level middle income houses (not too fansy), the school and shops at the same time to attract young families. It's hard to convince people who are already established to move but young families are more willing. Market it as a lifestyle community with all amenities. It's a very beautiful place, sad to see it go to waste.

Beautiful city in Tanzania and I am from Michigan USA but I would like to live there

This is so strange, building so many houses with no buyers. I'm not sure how it's done over there but in SA whenever there's a new development, houses are built according to the number of buyers, you can't build 10 houses while you only have 2 buyers, or am I missing something here??

This is perfect neighborhood for film production

If only the govt focus on infrastructure and access instead of foreign investment. Fix the roads first, supply clean water to the public and reliable electricity

Woo beautiful... I L❤ when Africanns are showing our beautiful continent.. Keep it up brother

The price worth it. Such a place in Ghana will worth about 400k US dollars or even more. This is well built community with a lot of greenry, good tarred roads. I wish I could live there. Maybe I gotta find me a Tanzanian lady so I can relocate

Chinese are no stranger to developments like these that remain unoccupied for years. Problem is the pricing... Even in mainland China today, 50 million apartments remain EMPTY!

I'm in South Africa 🇿🇦... I would definitely live there

Lava lava has featured this place in one of his songs. It looks lovely.

A very good update. You are right, the marketing has been very poor and the local amenities haven't been built yet. This was only phase 1 but it doesn't look like phase 2 will be started if they can't sell these properties. It's a shame because they do look good value for the price being asked.

I love this place. If this is in Ghana, aaaah, one will pay big money to buy! I love this place. We will soon explore Tanzania!

All that green is what i love about this development… It is magnificent!!

Atleast you could have put some effort to show us the interior of the houses for more details. It would have helped a lot who are interested to invest in the neighborhood like me.

Kudos on the green spaces. The grown palm trees are lovely.

Yea, my team the club above all Young Africans camp there.

Chinese have built thousands of flats in Nairobi but occupancy rate is very low. They have little or no understanding of what homeowners need; schools, hospitals, shopping malls, entertainment like cinemas, restaurants etc. In Kenya the rooms tend to be very small; hence pple prefer Wahindi design and construction of homes. Chinese don't also join the dots of the economy and our architectural tastes - and you are right, advertising isn't their strong point.

It isn’t the marketing, it over valued for the affordability. Cut the market price in half for 50% of the properties. It is not a community until then. Pure economics

Very nice, but would love to see the inside. Any chance you can create another video of the interior?

Back in 2015 I lived in a beautiful apartment building in Mauritania 🇲🇷 that was particularly empty.

If this was in Kenya, it would have had a waiting list at that price. Beautiful place. Needs a mall

Great job ..thanks for sharing 😊 God bless you

If they were built here in Kenya...We do purchase the house while still on foundation...I mean SCRAMBLING even if the construction is officially over🤗🤗🤗🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪100000usd...penny hapa Kenya 😋😋😋

Nice informative piece. Firstly,the house designs are awful because the windows are too small considering Dar is hot. Also,the Tanzanian government does not care about affordable housing. Case in point, Dar es salaam CBD has houses owned by national housing corporation and you actually pay enough money as goodwill to buy a new house in order to get a chance to live there and still pay rent. If you want to rent a room in the suburbs like Magomeni,Sinza,Illala and many others,you have to pay a year's rent and 'kilemba',which is ten per cent paid to the brokers. That's why people in Tanzania struggle with making ends meet. The government should wake up!

Introduce an installmental way of payment, and allow occupancy after 60% of payment. The place will revamp back to life...

Real Estate Developers don’t put money is such projects blindly. This is not a mistake, don’t look at it from a layman perspective. There’s a very good reason this project is there for the owners. Look deeper and you will find the REAL reason.

It's very sad. I was going to move there. I still would love to live there but it needs people. No gym it's empty. The pool is beautiful. The homes are lovely

What type of internet connection does this place have, and is there a consistent power supply? If the location boasts a reliable power source and high-speed internet, it would certainly pique our interest for potential investment opportunities.

The community is in the middle of nowhere. It’s not desirable so it can’t really over priced, anyone who accidentally buys any of these houses should be prepared to own the house forever.

If this was Nairobi, even the outskirts, it would be fully occupied. $100,000 to $200,000 for a property which is 28kn from the city and 25km from the beach is affordable.

Went there last week. Houses now show signs of major decay. In Tanzania, if there are no tenants the property owners very rarely do upkeep. In some units there were major bird droppings and nesting inside. There is a gym, grocery store and pool. All empty and abandoned. It would probably take major work to fix up some of these places…but it is not impossible. If this place had attracted people as the builder had planned it would have been great. They may want to look at lowering the rent to at least get some occupancy and slow the decay of the unused homes.

That price may be possible with payment plans for up to 5 or 10 years. Houses are expensive in America but people struggle to make payments for 30 years which doing too much.

Its very far from city center hence not favorable to many ..the price also is high compared with distance

Congratulation brother, the content is taking off

China Aviation International Holding Co Ltd (CAIH) is a state-owned enterprise (SOE) based in Beijing, China. It is primarily engaged in aviation-related businesses, including aircraft leasing, aviation logistics, and international aviation services. This is has "Silk Road" written all over it. This is a Staging Area for the Chinese elite to one day occupy. They Have Another un-occupied city in Angola. These people are invading Africa little by little. Africans people are too uneducated to comprehend the strategic concept of a stealth invasion. As of 2021, 2 Million Chinese are living in Africa... in 2023, it has to be much higher.

Very nice 👌 👍🏿 free from pollution

Most people who are capable of affording such properties are easily foreigners but then again, the immigration laws in Tanzania is very strict therefore I suggest real estate companies need to team up with the government to come up with a better way of attracting FDI by consolidating on some of their migration laws. The Greeks did it and several other countries have also done it, including Ghana!

Wow beautiful 😍❤️😍❤️

Demand dictates the value of the houses. If no one is buying them, at current prices, they are not worth the current price.

$300 per month for that 3/4 bed home. What a deal!!!!

is very beautiful but lucking social needs ,, public transport, super market and prayer place as hospital.

It will fill up slowly and gradually. In china I saw ghost cities, but after some years they filled up.

Beautiful place. Please keep promoting Africa, it is a beautiful continent that the vast majority of the people of the rest of the world have never been there and know very little about. The majority of the people know of Africa only what the media portraits, a big very poor place full of disease. Please use your channel to promote Africa and show its beauty and splendor

If this was in Kenya all the houses will be occupied. Majority of Kenyans in high class and middle class love such life.

This place looks nice , but it has not any basics lile sidewalks for residents to walk on

71k views. Ongea na management ufanye in depth video za each kind of house zinazo patikana huko na bei zake ili wananchi tujue then tujipange!..

I’m guessing based on the prices these homes was built for foreigners, not the locals..

It's because Tanzanians like living together...like in communities ...ujamaa

Were they afraid to build sidewalks for pedestrians?

Such beautiful houses, would love to be there ! ❤ Thanks for sharing.

Location is an issue. Most people living in Kigamboni are having a hard time going to and from town due to distance. With other factors combined, could result to the abandonment

Nice homes it has to be something more to it

Wapi waKenya....this would be fully occupied in a flash!!!!!

Its933 am in the USA why are the houses empty it very beautiful 🌸

Am living in this country and the only community is marketed and known is Fumba Town of Zanzibar. This one never heard at all.

This houses a overpriced on buying price but rightly priced rent wise, currently, 100k USD is equivalent to 138 million kenyan shilling, you would get a haven for such amount of money in terms of a house in Kenya, yet, Kenyan economy is strong that that of TZ

This my kind of place

Imagine buying one and then you realize you're the only one resident ☠️

Its really worth it for the amenities it provides. In Kenya it would be 200m Tshs to start

I think they just need to add amenities (supermarket, restaurants, cafés, post office and medical centre). Maybe even build a small primary school or something if this is aimed at Tanzanians and not tourists

Wode maya must come that side and promote it too

for Tanzania the price is higher if you have that money you can build a super nice house than that, that's why they abandoned.

I didn’t know kigamboni had this part😆, why are they not promoting on e-commerce apps? I only see masaki , oysterbay and mikocheni

Hi iwish this house was in kenya iwuold be number one even today to ornd one. Nime shanga na wa to.

Wow ooo I like those houses I'm from America but way of Liberia yes I need one of those I'm gonna put on my FBpage ok peace and blessings one day we probably meet somewhere my brother peace and blessings beyond measure 🙏 ✨️ 🙌

Price and quality of those properties they look cheap from exterior to interior but price is crazy people opt to built for themselves.

I think the issue is likely the location. If it was close enough to economic centres and good economic facilities,, people would have loved it

Sababu ya huo mradi kukosa wateja 1. Kutotangazwa ipasavyo ndani na nje ya tza 2. Mfumo mbovu wa uwekezaji. Kawaida uwekezaji wa nyumba unatumia offplan ambapo unata gaza biashara kabla kujenga na wateja wanaanza kulipia huku wanajengewa nyumba zao na sio juzijenga kabisa na kuanza kuuza. Offplan inajuhakikishia wateja. Shirika la nyumba wanatumia sana mfumo huu. 3. Watz wengi wa kipato cha juu na cha kati hawana utamaduni wa kununua nyumba bali kujenga ili kupata design wNavyotaka wao. Miradi hiyo inategemea zaidi kundi hilo. Taratibu utamaduni wa jununua unaanza kuzoeleka lkn itzchukua muda kukubalika. 4. Serikali kuhamia dodoma. Hili nalo limechangia mirDi mingi ya makaazi kupoteza mwelekeo kwa kuwa wateja wakubwA ni watumishi wa umma ambao sasa wamehamia dodoma na familia zao. 5. Kukosekana huduma muhimu ktk miradi hiyo km. Maduka shule hospital viwanja vya kuchezea watoto nyumba za ibada nk. Unapojenga gated cimmunities hayo ni muhimu yawepo ili kuvutia watu kuja kuishi hapo. Shukran kwa video. Tuwekee miradi mengine km hiyo ya tza

Beautiful place. I think maybe it's the distance but it's awesome. the houses are standard.

Ukishatoka nje mji kwa Dar ni ngumu kuwapata wateja wa kipato cha juu kununua Nyumba. Miradi mingi kigamboni haijaleta Faida zaid ya Hasara. Ni muda sasa wawekezaji kuwekeza kwa watu wa kipato cha kati na Chini. Watanunua popote hata iwe Kibaha!

Nice homes but if a grocery store is not in walking or driving distance it's a pass for me.

It’s just too far from everything. All the yanga players stay there though.

nice houses.

I would love to see the inside of the houses

Beautiful! My 2 BR 2.5 BA townhouse in the US was $148K 6 years ago and would sell for twice that much today. If I could get a house of that size here for those prices? Oh well. It’s a nice dream.

Tanzanians love to build their houses from scratch. Most don't buy houses

Is there good medical care and is the government stable? These are my primary concerns as i considering leaving the US.

Yes ! I too feel there was something wrong in the marketing strategy..its still not late if I had the opportunity to promote it ,I will get the whole place full in 3 months

So beautiful indeed

Such things make countries like Kenya and Ghana more attractive to investors. If this was in Kenya 50km from Nairobi CBD, the investor will sell out all houses for double the price before the project is completed. Tanzania is good for tourism but as a business destination it has a long way to go and it should start with its laws on land tenure. The socialist history (Ujamaa) of the country is largely to blame

Being an American who has considered buying property in the mother land I would love to scoop up one or two maybe even three of these houses!

I guess it was too expensive for people to purchase, far from Town and Serious Services

Beautiful area. I wonder why those properties are not occupied. I love me some luxurious house in a quite area like that

Why don’t you open this up petition the government we have such a hard time doing anything we wait for others to do it

Nigeria is indeed a giant a $ 300 rent is unaffordable for most Tanzania despite the economic boom

Expensive for Tanzania people

White Elephant project. What a waste on the investment. The laws do not permit rentals or foreigners to buy?

The narration is souless

They should market them internationally
