Broll operates from a distinctly different vantage point. It is not a developer, not a landlord, not a builder of malls or apartments. It is a real estate services company, an identity that gives it a panoramic view of the industry’s strengths and stress fractures. “We don’t own property,” Lutalo says. “We manage.

The air hums with the rhythm of a place that knows exactly what it’s doing. Ayrshire cows chew calmly in their stalls. A worker pushes wheelbarrows of manure toward the manure bank. Casual labourers slash fodder while farmers from nearby…
