4th major project part of the inner-city revival taking place in lusaka pioneered by public private (others are Findeco tower , society house complex and the mega project levy junction) and one that will have the most impact on the ground level imo as it'll focus on the street level interaction and high street shopping think some of it can be seen from the society house project....

The project, to be undertaken by Zambezi Consortium, seeks to turn the Central Arcade into an ultra-modern structure that would have Zambia's first automated car park to decongest town centre.
The whole project will run from Cairo Road to Cha Cha Cha Road with a chain of luxurious offices.
Mr Banda said improved finances for ZNBS entailed efficiency in delivering houses to the people because the institution had the mandate to empower Zambians without housing and hailed efforts that aimed at improving the quality of the capital city.
He urged all Zambians to support the project that was being undertaken under the concept of public-private partnership and especially that failure since 1997 to renovate the building had raised concerns even in the National Assembly and the residents of Lusaka.
"The face of Lusaka is surely changing for the better, and my dream is that this change does not stop within the boundaries of Lusaka but spills over to other towns and cities.
"Let us give our people a chance to enjoy first-class infrastructure with safe and high-quality parking facilities," he said.
President Banda said a financially solid parastatal would ensure increased and unbroken delivery of pension and social services to the retirees around the country.
He said change was always associated by resistance but urged managements of the two institutions to remain steadfast and focused on their mandate.
The president, who was flanked by Vice-President George Kunda, said ZNBS should work towards increasing house ownership as Zambia heads towards the Vision 2030 that seeks to turn the country into a middle income country which target he said was likely to be attained before that year.
He urged ZNBS to reach out to more people in the country in the provision of cost-effective houses through mortgages which could be given for medium and long-term periods.
All stakeholders should ensure that all the parameters for the project were met by sharpening operations.
"The project is viable in technical, social and economic terms. It will create employment both at construction stage and user stage, serving as a perpetual earner of revenue for the two organisations.
