Luano City is more than a beautifully planned and serviced development—it’s a smart, future-focused investment destination. Strategically located along Lubumbashi’s key Airport Road—often referred to as the “Golden Mile”—this corridor is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after urban zones in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As infrastructure and demand have expanded, land values have appreciated significantly, making Luano City a standout in the region’s property market.
Between 2019 and 2024, land values in prime Luano City parcels surged from approximately USD 400,000 to over USD 2 million per hectare, driven by rapid growth in residential, commercial, and retail development. This fivefold increase is not only a testament to the area's desirability but also a clear indicator of investor confidence and market momentum.

Shop Smart - In Luano City
Currently under construction, the Mall of Lubumbashi is set to become much more than a retail destination—it will be a lifestyle anchor at the heart of Luano City, one of Lubumbashi’s most ambitious and forward-looking urban developments. More than just a shopping center, the mall is part of a larger, integrated master plan that includes green spaces, sports and wellness facilities, and pedestrian-friendly public areas. Just steps away, residents and visitors will be able to enjoy tennis courts, swimming pools, parks, and walking paths—all designed to promote wellbeing, connectivity, and community life.
Rather than a standalone project, the Mall of Lubumbashi represents the broader vision of Luano City as a place where people can live, work, shop, and thrive—in a secure, inclusive, and sustainably planned environment.
Strategically located on the city’s “Golden Mile” along the key Airport Road corridor, the mall is positioned at the gateway of Lubumbashi’s ongoing expansion toward the north and east. As new neighborhoods, business hubs, and industrial zones emerge in this direction, the Mall of Lubumbashi will serve as a commercial and lifestyle anchor for the next generation of Lubumbashi residents.
This vision was reaffirmed during the recent BTP & CMA Lunch Debate Club held at the prestigious Pullman Karavia in Lubumbashi’s Golf area. The event—led by Jean Bamanisa, President of the BTP Club & CMA—brought together developers, urban planners, engineers, and policymakers for a critical discussion on the challenges and opportunities of urbanization in Lubumbashi. A key theme of the debate was the growing need for structured, well-enforced town and country planning to manage the city's rapid growth.
In this context, Luano City reaffirmed its commitment not only to supporting smart, inclusive urban development—but to leading by example. With a strong focus on sustainability, infrastructure-first planning, and quality of life, Luano City continues to demonstrate what effective, modern urbanization can look like in the DRC.
Once completed, the Mall of Lubumbashi will bring this vision to life—offering a mix of local and international retail, dining, and leisure experiences in a walkable, community-centered setting. Whether you're browsing for Congolese craftsmanship, shopping global brands, or simply seeking a peaceful green escape, Luano City will offer a lifestyle without compromise—and the mall will stand as a symbol of its promise.
