Large Commercial Units in Kampala

Finding a genuinely large, contiguous commercial floor in Kampala is difficult. Most large requirements end up split across buildings or across floors of a block that was never designed for a single occupier.

Alam Business Center is designed to consolidate. Adjacent units combine, full floors let as one, and the entire 4,940 m² of Phase One can go to a single tenant.

The combinations available

On the ground floor, Units 1 and 2 give 1,195 m², Units 2 and 3 give 1,250 m², and Units 3 and 4 give 1,195 m². On the first floor, Units 5 and 6 give 1,275 m², Units 6 and 7 give 1,320 m² - the largest contiguous pair in the building - and Units 7 and 8 give 1,275 m².

A full ground floor is 2,390 m². A full first floor is 2,550 m². Together with the second floor, Phase One totals 4,940 m² of lettable area.

  • 1,195 - 1,320 m² from two adjacent units
  • 2,390 m² for the whole ground floor
  • 2,550 m² for the whole first floor
  • 4,940 m² for the whole of Phase One
  • Second-floor area configured on application
  • One landlord, one lease, one service charge

Why one large tenancy beats several small ones

A single large tenancy removes the coordination cost of running an operation across separate landlords, leases and service charges. Staff move between functions without leaving the building, deliveries land in one forecourt, and your brand takes the whole frontage rather than a share of it.

For distributors and multi-format retailers, taking a full floor also means the layout is planned end to end instead of assembled from whatever units happened to be free.

Who takes space at this scale

Regional distributors, multi-brand retail groups, banks consolidating branch and head-office functions, corporate headquarters, and international companies establishing a Ugandan base. If the requirement spans display, office and storage, the building can carry all three in one tenancy.
