What you need to know:

A nearly $40 million (about Sh88 billion on the prevailing exchange rate) ultra-modern shopping complex with over 32,000 square metres off Kirumba Street will act as the gateway to the Great Lakes region. The mall, almost the same size as Nairobi’s Westgate, is executed in partnership with the Local Authority Pensions Fund (LAPF) as financier and the Mwanza City Council as the landowner.
