Kampala’s residential property market is in the midst of a quiet but telling transformation. Once dominated by Western expatriates tied to NGOs, diplomatic missions, and donor-funded projects, the demand landscape is increasingly being driven by Asian expatriates—particularly professionals from China, South Korea, and other Asian economies—associated with large-scale infrastructure, industrial, and corporate investment projects. The sudden suspension of U.S. aid to Uganda has had a direct impact on the sector.
