TOPAZ RESIDENCE

TOPAZ RESIDENCES is a development of three-bedroom apartments in Ntinda, Kampala (Uganda). The project page writes the name in the plural, "TOPAZ RESIDENCES, NTINDA", while the site's homepage refers to "the Residence". It is presented on the website of New Horizon Developers Ltd (nh-developers.com). The company describes itself as founded by a team of Ugandan entrepreneurs and lists an office at Plot 49/51, Suite 1B, Bukoto Street, Kampala. The project page describes the apartments and the shared facilities. It does not publish prices, the number of units, floor areas or a completion date.

The apartments

The developer's page shows a single unit type: the three-bedroom apartment. According to that page, each apartment includes:

• built-in wardrobes;
• three bathrooms, fitted with sanitary ware the developer describes as higher quality;
• a modular kitchen;
• an attached utility and drying area;
• a balcony off the living room and another off the master bedroom;
• one covered parking space per apartment.

Apartment sizes, the number of floors and the total number of units are not given on the page. The finish level (materials, brands, whether kitchen appliances are included) is not detailed either. Ask the developer for a written specification sheet to confirm these points.

Shared facilities

• a children's play area with a sand pit, swings and a basketball court;
• additional visitor parking;
• a party and barbecue area on the terrace, with a gazebo and utility connections;
• electric perimeter fencing;
• a high-speed elevator with a backup generator.

The page does not say how on-site security is organised, how much the service charges will be or who will manage the building after handover.

Location

The developer places the project in Ntinda and gives these distances:

• Ntinda Industrial Park: 270 m;
• Ntinda New Market: 450 m;
• Shell, Ntinda Road: 500 m;
• Capital Shoppers Supermarket: 950 m;
• Naguru Gurudwara: 1 km;
• Haruna Towers Shopping Mall: 1.23 km;
• Kyambogo University: 2.2 km.

These distances are the developer's own figures. The page does not give the plot's exact address, only a map link.

Status, prices and timeline

The TOPAZ RESIDENCES page does not publish construction progress, prices, payment terms or a completion date. The homepage of the same site mentions one completed and one ongoing condominium in Ntinda without naming them, so it is not possible to tell which one, if either, is TOPAZ RESIDENCES. This information is available from the sales team at New Horizon Developers Ltd: phone and WhatsApp +256 740 013 069, email [email protected]. The website lists opening hours of Monday to Saturday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.

Not to be confused with TOPAZ COURTS

The same developer presents a separate project, TOPAZ COURTS, at Plot 37 Valley Drive, Ministers Village, Ntinda. The prices and unit count published for TOPAZ COURTS apply to that project only. They do not apply to TOPAZ RESIDENCES.

What to get in writing

Before making any commitment, ask the developer for:

• the land title for the plot and the name of its registered owner;
• the building permit and the authority that issued it;
• the floor area of each apartment;
• the price, the payment schedule and what the price includes;
• the expected handover date and what happens if it slips;
• the condominium rules and the estimated service charges.
