The Bridge Kololo Launch Uganda

VAAL Uganda has unveiled The Bridge Kololo, a two-tower luxury development linked by a sky bridge, raising the bar for high-end real estate in Kampala. Located on Impala Avenue in Kololo, the project is VAAL’s boldest venture yet, following the successful launch of Cadenza Residence in 2024.

CEO Mr. Islam Mohammed described the launch as a milestone moment. “When we started with Cadenza, we entered the market with Uganda’s tallest residential tower. Now with The Bridge, we are proud to bring something entirely unique to Kololo. This project shall speak for itself.”

Where Luxury Meets Legacy

Designed as both architecture and destination, The Bridge Kololo offers a blend of lifestyle, location, and investment potential. The two towers each feature basements, a ground floor, and 12 floors. A signature sky bridge café and lounge crowns the development, offering panoramic views of Lake Victoria and the Kampala skyline.

The Bridge includes 25 lifestyle amenities such as a heated swimming pool, a private indoor cinema, a rooftop sunset deck, a yoga area, a co-working lounge, and indoor and outdoor kids’ zones. Apartments range from studios to 3-bedroom residences, with interiors featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing and sleek layouts tailored for both short-stay investors and long-term residents.

VAAL’s Growing Profile in Uganda

The Bridge is VAAL Uganda’s second major luxury development after Cadenza Residence in Nakasero. Cadenza introduced Kampala to ultra-tall residential living with 24 floors and became a benchmark in the city’s skyline. With both projects, VAAL has cemented its position as a leading force in Uganda’s high-end property market.

“We set high standards and achieve them,” said Mr. Islam. “Our mission is simple — build luxury developments with strong returns in the most premium locations.”

Policy, Progress, and Economic Impact

Uganda’s Minister of Finance, Hon. Matia Kasaija, called The Bridge Kololo a symbol of policy progress and private sector vision. He highlighted that the project creates jobs during construction and offers premium accommodation to support the services sector once completed.

The Minister noted that Uganda’s economy is stabilising, with inflation at 5.4% and foreign direct investment rising from $1.36 billion in 2022 to $1.5 billion in 2023. He emphasized reforms that improved access to foreign exchange for construction inputs and provided a transparent tax framework for real estate investors.

Kasaija praised VAAL for delivering a development that strengthens both the skyline and Uganda’s economic outlook, stating: “The Bridge Kololo connects more than towers — it connects Uganda’s present to a very promising future.”

Backed by Global Experience

Founded in 2017, VAAL Real Estate draws on over 20 years of international experience from markets including Turkey, Kenya, Ghana, Egypt, and the Middle East. The company delivers global-standard design, professional property management, and fully managed real estate products with high returns.

Kololo’s limited land supply makes The Bridge a rare opportunity for buyers and investors alike. As VAAL notes, “Landmarks of this calibre appear once in a generation. The Bridge is set to become a timeless reference point for Kampala living.”

A Landmark for Kampala’s Future

The launch event gathered dignitaries including Hon. Evelyn Anite, Mr. Ken Katarikawe, Mr. Majeed Saad, Mr. Hossam Kassim, and Mr. Osama Elsherbini. Guests celebrated the project as not just a luxury residence, but a marker of confidence in Uganda’s future.

With Cadenza and The Bridge Kololo, VAAL Uganda is redefining the city’s skyline and reshaping how people live and invest. These projects reflect a vision of quality, innovation, and ambition — and they are securing Kampala’s place as a hub of modern, luxury real estate in Africa.
