It will be a satellite town of Dar es Salaam Central Business District (CBD). Its location is particularly strategic: it is near the port and the commercial hub of Dar es Salaam. The area would also accommodate high rise buildings, to house as many people as possible in a small area, so as to cope with growing housing demand characterizing the region. source: http://www.nhc.co.tz/
