Luano City facility
Challenge
The Luano City project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a 200ha development adjacent to the Lubumbashi International Airport. It was envisioned as a multi-use concept which includes commercial, industrial, residential and community facilities.
The mandate for the development of Luano City, located in the DRC’s fastest growing city, Lubumbashi, was to provide a unique perspective on the DRC market – a comfortable lifestyle, modern workspace solutions, a shopping mall and access to a contemporary industrial park.
