In this industry (of apartments and bungalows), there are those who build to sell and those who build to rent (invest). For both parties, the major aim is to maximise profits. “For this to be possible, a developer must consider the location and size of a piece of land


There was a time when huge single bungalows with an extensive compound were a common sight but today, we see only a few of these beautiful houses as the modern thing has become apartments (multi-storied blocks/flats), which are multiplying day by day.

Mr Nicolas Arinaitwe, the executive director of Real Estate Agency, Management and Consultancy, says the gradual change is because apartments are more profitable than bungalows.

 

In this industry (of apartments and bungalows), there are those who build to sell and those who build to rent (invest). For both parties, the major aim is to maximise profits. “For this to be possible, a developer must consider the location and size of a piece of land, research about the population size and its income level before they start building,” Mr Arinaitwe says.

This is the inspirational tale of a small boy’s mission to help those less fortunate than himself. Ryan was just six years old when he learnt that not everybody in the world has access to clean water.

Desperate to help, he worked day and night to save enough money for a well to be dug in drought-stricken Uganda. His ambition soon grew and his altruistic nature dragged schoolmates and ultimately most of Canada with him. An uplifting and wonderfully touching story that reminds us all that we can change the world if we really believe.
