The project manager Engineer Koyoya Fuko said here that the work
began on Monday, this week and it is a joint venture between the Mwanza
City Council and the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPF). Officials
say that the project that is expected to end in two years’ time from now
will cost over 60bn/-.
“The centre shall be of unique quality that fits within the framework
of Mwanza city, carrying modern and alluring design which also fits
within the lake context within which the market shall be created,” says
Engineer Fuko. Upon completion, the facility is expected to expand the
scope of business opportunities in Mwanza region and also attract both
local and foreign investors.
The expert also hinted that the mall will also have a four storey
market structure developed within an urban setting and requires a number
of design provisions to be made to ensure its functionality. Key among
these provisions is 660 vehicles parking and 100 schooters parking which
shall be created within and around the market.
He further explained that the construction will enable the large
space that would be created around the scheme and it is proposed to have
sufficient soft and hard landscape that will be incorporated within the
format as well as around the market.
The mixing is expected to create melodious mixture and creates an
interesting development all over the building. The market through its
atrium would also create openness in its makeup. This openness improves
air flow and circulation and thus reducing the market’s cooling needs,
he says.
The Shopping Mall that never seen in the City and Lake Zone regions
shall have large window along its frontage which have outer sun shading
crust and inner operable windows shall harmonize the contemporary
outlook of the market and guarantee its unique demand.
Engineer Fuko established that this shall be created using an
extensive sub basement level due to slopping nature of the site. The
market will be a one stop shopping complex comprising of the public area
located at the floor level.
