National Housing Corporation gets $2b loan for Dar-es-Salaam project
The Tanzania National Housing Corporation (NHC) has secured a $2Bn loan from PTA Bank — the financial arm of Comesa — to construct a commercial centre and satellite city at Kawe in Dar es Salaam. The NHC Director General Mr. Nahemia Mchechu disclosed that with funds secured the project is projected to reach completion in 2020.
The project, once completed will become the busiest in the city, hosting at least 50,000 people for 20 hours non-stop.

He expressed his optimism in the project and how its completion will place Kiondoni in the forefront as far as revenue generation is concerned. He also advised THE Kiondoni residents on taking advantage of the opportunity by embarking on innovative business ventures.
NHC project manager Samwel Metili said the Morocco Square, which will host a modern hotel, tourist accommodations, shopping and recreation facilities, is worth approximately $71m.

The money was sought from Exim Bank of India, the Government of India’s other own sources as well as from investors in the Asian nation through their CII. This is done in the hope that certain projects can be implemented.
