Overview
In 2002, Anatoli Kamugisha, the proprietor of Akright Projects Limited, acquired 2 square miles (1,300 acres), formerly belonging to the family of the late Badru Kakunglu. Akright then designed a self-sustaining community of twelve smaller neighborhoods, grouped based on the price of the housing in each neighborhood. The development includes schools, shopping malls, a hospital, supermarkets, a golf club and a golf course.[4] The estate is continually being expanded, with final development planned or 2022.[5][6]
