PROJECT UPDATES - ZAMBIA
New head
office for First
Capital Bank
in Lusaka
By Heinrich Malan
Having completed the new First Capital Bank (FCB) head office in
Gaborone during the final quarter of 2018 the management from FCB
decided to push ahead with the pre-contract phase for their new head
office in Lusaka, Zambia. FCB has secured a very prominent site on the
busy Church Road in close proximity to the Central Business District, just
opposite their current head office.
The building features will be very similar to their Gaborone building and
the plan is to also achieve the first ‘green building’ rated development in
Zambia, as achieved in Botswana. There will be two buildings on the
site of just under 2 000m² each and the site will have a basement over
the whole property. FCB will occupy one of the buildings and the other
will be available for rental. Time Projects, Paul Munnik Architects and
MLC Quantity Surveyors have been appointed to proceed with this new
development. The electrical designs are being done by RM Consulting
Engineers while the Mechanical and Environmental Project Brief is being
prepared by DH Engineering Consultants.
Prime retail space at Kabwata
Shopping Mall in Lusaka
By Heinrich Malan
Kabwata Mall is really starting to take shape now and the
external blockwork, excluding boundary walls are complete.
The structural steel work is also complete and contractors are
busy with the final paint on Shoprite’s structural steel. The line
shops’ floors and the concrete floor in Shoprite are complete
and internal walls are nearly finished. Plastering of internal
walls will be complete mid-September.
Time Projects and ZICA set to
develop a contemporary office
park development
By Heinrich Malan
Location, location, location! This is the best description for this
new development. Could this be the new CBD for Lusaka? It
just might be because loads of office space is popping up and
big organisations are starting to move here.
Time Projects has signed a joint venture agreement with
the Zambian Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA) for
this development. Pre-leasing is now open and interested
parties can get in touch with [email protected] for
more information.
The idea is to develop a full basement over the whole site
and one building of 5 000m² - 6 000m² and another
two of 2 500m² - 3 500m² each. Smaller users of up to a
100m² can be accommodated.
