3. While Angola's real estate sector was
previously shielded from international
attention because of Angola's legacy of
conflict and high import costs, this has begun
to change in recent years. Angola's economy
is improving rapidly, as is investment in its
infrastructure. The country has one of the
highest rates of urbanization in Africa, and its
real estate sector has recently been garnering
international interest and investment.

4. The demand for real estate is rising rapidly,
especially in the capital city of Luanda, which is
currently the site of several large-scale building
projects, such as the Luanda Sky Center, a fourtower mixed-use project that houses both residents
and businesses. Small and medium-sized housing
projects are also garnering their share of
investment, particularly because the demand for
low-cost housing in Luanda is so high. Improved
standards of living and reduced customs duties for
construction materials reinforce this boom in the
housing market.
