WHI launches new housing project at Kisasa Hilltop

DODOMA: WATUMISHI Housing Investment (WHI) has launched a major residential project — the Kisasa Hilltop Housing Development — aimed at increasing access to quality, modern homes for public servants in the rapidly growing city of Dodoma.

The project, set to feature more than 14 floors upon full completion, is being developed in two phases.

The first phase, currently underway, includes six buildings with a total of 66 housing units, constructed at a cost of 8.5bn/-

Speaking to journalists during a site visit, WHI Acting Chief Executive Officer Arch. Stephania Solomoni said the development is a response to the growing demand for housing, especially from public servants in Dodoma and surrounding areas.

“This project has been in the pipeline for a while. Initially, we had 45 acres where we built 167 houses. But with the increased demand, we acquired more land to scale up the initiative,” said Arch.Solomoni.

The residential units, designed in one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and threebedroom configurations, are priced between 45m/- and 195m/-, depending on specifications.

“These homes are competitively priced in comparison with the broader market,” he noted. “We invite interested buyers to visit the site and witness the progress and quality of the work themselves.” The houses are primarily targeted at public servants and members of social security schemes, offering accessible, well-serviced accommodation close to key workplaces and government institutions.

“These are standard buildings being constructed with our own resources and workforce,” Arch. Solomoni added.

“We are committed to ensuring timely completion and top quality. Our public servants deserve housing that reflects their role in nation-building.”

According to WHI’s Head of Marketing and Sales, Mr Raphael Mwabuponde, 58 units are still available, with 20 applications already processed and control numbers issued.

“Due to high demand, we encourage immediate action from interested buyers,” he said.

“Delays could result in units being taken up quickly.” Established more than a decade ago,

WHI has built over 1,000 housing units nationwide.

The institution plans to expand further in Dodoma, with new projects underway in Mtumba, Chamwino, and Msalato, collectively targeting the construction of more than 1,000 additional homes.
