Dubai’s ALBADDAD Holding Announces $1.9 Billion “Botswana City” Investment, Signaling a New Era for Southern Africa
In a landmark move for regional development and transcontinental business, Dubai-based ALBADDAD Holding has announced a $1.9 billion investment in Botswana, launching the ambitious “Botswana City” project. Spanning 1.24 million square metres, this transformative project aims to create a premier hub for trade, tourism, business events, and investment in Southern Africa.
More than just another real estate development, the Botswana City vision is set to redefine the landscape for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region by introducing:
- A world-class exhibition and convention centre
- International hotels and modern commercial districts
- Contemporary urban infrastructure
- The creation of tens of thousands of jobs
- A strategic platform designed to attract global capital and regional businesses
Industry experts see the project as a catalyst for wider investment, with the potential to position Botswana and the SADC at the forefront of logistics, innovation, and international trade within Africa and beyond.
Abdulla Momade, a leading regional consultant, commented:
“The announcement of the new ‘Botswana City’ project by Dubai-based ALBADDAD Holding is more than a real estate development. The project spans 1.24 million square metres and is expected to become a major hub for trade, tourism, business events, and investment in Southern Africa. The vision includes: a world-class exhibition and convention centre, international hotels and commercial districts, modern urban infrastructure, tens of thousands of jobs, and a platform designed to attract global capital and regional businesses.”
With strategic leadership from government officials including HE Duma Boko, Botswana’s forward-thinking approach is receiving praise for its potential to make the nation a new gateway for businesses to meet, invest, manufacture, trade, and scale.
As the race intensifies among SADC countries to become the next hotspots for investment and international business, all eyes are on Botswana as it positions itself as a dynamic and attractive destination for global partnerships and regional growth.
