@ Pius,

Where did you get the info? these guys don't have it on their website. I think this is the one that Mulopwe confused with the Modern Titanic building.
They also have 3 more building under construction.

I think they are complete or almost complete by now.

These Congo Futur guys are playing.

It is beyond my comprehension why these guys are not updating their website. Fortunately, there is an information board at the construction site with all details of the project.

Yes, the building must be completed (or at the final stage of completion) by now. I shot these pictures during my stay in Kinshasa last December.

It is strange that Congo Futur is keeping a low profile when it comes to communication. As far as real estate investment in Kinshasa is concerned, they are doing almost as good a job as Rakeen Congo

Great.

I see that they are almost matching Rakeen.

How big is the Congo Futur mall going to be? any info?

It will be good to know how big Rakeen mall they are going to build will be.( not the one at Gare centrale).

The one they will build near LAC.

Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to figures. All I remember is that it read on the board: "des grandes espaces commerciales". I presume it will be a big one.

As to the one to be built by Rakeen, I guess it will be a mega mall because the whole complex will be dedicated to this one purpose. Rakeen is not known to build small fries. Check out the one they are building in Tbilisi/Georgia.

As to Janet, I've never heard of this lady before. I didn't know that Congo futur is owned by a single person. The lady must be very rich because this company has become a major player in the Congolese economy.

The only known person with that name is Kabila's sister known as Janet Kabila. I dont know if Mulopwe was referring to her. For sure I know that Congo Futur belongs to Lebanese but I dont know whether there are local shareholder amongst them. She is also rumored to partially owe Digitalcongo newspaper and the TV channel. We live in a country of rumour! But good job from Congo Futur.

Yea, i heard that Digital TV is connected to JOKA. a country full of rumors from A to Z.

I wouldn't b surprised that Congo Futur has connections Joka family.

But yes, they are doing a fantastic job. We need people that know how to run Companies. Thats the human resources that builds a country. 1000s of people are Employed by Congo Futur .

We to all human resources we can keep to run the country.

Very Organised Indeed.


Are they only active in Kinshasa or do they have any plans for other cities?

Their web site is not up to date after all.

They have distribution point or representative throughout DRC. Real-Estate is small portion of their activities mainly in Kinshasa; manufacture (plastic bags, bottle all size) and food distribution are their main business.
