Fairground Office Park

Fairground Office Park is a new two-storey commercial development in the Fairgrounds area of Gaborone, Botswana. It is one of the projects listed by RDC Property Group on its website. The park is made up of three buildings named Tholo, Tsuma and Mpingo. According to the developer, it is aimed at government offices, NGOs and professional services firms.

What the developer describes

RDC Property Group's project page lists the following:

• three separate buildings: Tholo, Tsuma and Mpingo;
• fully partitioned, air-conditioned office space;
• 24-hour security;
• landscaped gardens around the buildings.

The same page names the Department of Curriculum Development and Evaluation among the tenants, along with several NGOs that it does not name.

Location

The park is in the Fairgrounds area of Gaborone. The developer gives the address "9WC8+PWC Gaborone, Botswana", a location code that can be entered in a mapping service to find the site. The project page places the site "at the intersection of Nakedi and Lejara Roads". Entering the code in a mapping service and checking that the pin falls at this junction is a simple way to confirm the exact plot before arranging a visit.

Project status

The developer's page states that the project "is now under construction and set for…": the works are under way and a target is announced, but the end of the sentence, which gives it, is cut off on the page. It also names tenants, without stating whether they already occupy any of the buildings. Because the announced timetable cannot be read in full, only RDC Property Group can confirm the current stage of the works and the expected handover date. A prospective tenant can ask whether that timetable applies to all three buildings or only to some of them, and whether space can be reserved before completion.

What is not published

The following information does not appear on the official pages consulted on 26 October 2026:

• office sizes and the total floor area of each building;
• the number of offices or floors available;
• rents, service charges and the billing currency;
• lease length, security deposit and rent review terms;
• the number of parking spaces.

These details have to be requested from the developer. Each of them affects the real cost of occupying the space, so it is worth obtaining all of them before comparing the park with other office options. Asking in writing makes the answers easier to compare: exact lettable area, rent and service charges, what the charges cover (security, air-conditioning maintenance, grounds upkeep), minimum lease term and availability on a given date. It also helps to ask which costs are fixed in the lease and which can change over time, whether the partitioning can be adapted to the tenant's own layout, and who is responsible for maintaining the air-conditioning inside each office. Keeping the developer's written replies makes it easier to check later that the lease reflects what was announced.

The developer

RDC Properties describes itself on its website as "the largest property company listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange". It presents itself as a property investment, management and development company operating in seven countries. Its contact page lists offices in Botswana, South Africa, Croatia and Mozambique. These points come from the company's own description of itself; since the company says it is listed, its stock exchange disclosures are one possible way to check them independently.
