Extended-Stay hotels, such as Residence Inn by Marriott, offer accommodations designed for longer stays, featuring larger rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and are aimed at people who are relocating, or guests needing temporary housing.

These offer an all-in-one urban experience, often encompassing the skyscrapers or properties combined with shopping malls or residential buildings.

Each type of hotel development caters to a wide range of market needs, from budget stays to high-end luxury experiences.
Why Buy or Invest in New Real Estate Developments in Tanzania.
Tanzania has one of the fastest-growing economies in East Africa. With a stable economic growth rate, the country has become an attractive destination for both local and international investors. A strong economy creates demand for housing, commercial properties, and infrastructure, making real estate a lucrative sector.
Tanzania is undergoing rapid urbanization, particularly in major cities like Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Mwanza. The population is shifting toward urban centers, which increases demand for residential, commercial, and industrial real estate. New developments cater to this expanding market and offer the opportunity for significant capital appreciation.
Tanzania is a well-known tourist destination, famous for its wildlife, safaris, and beaches (like Zanzibar). The tourism sector drives demand for short-term rental properties, hotels, and resorts, particularly in areas like Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and Zanzibar. Investing in these regions can offer good returns through both long-term appreciation and income from tourism-based rentals.
Compared to many other regions, Tanzania offers relatively affordable real estate investment opportunities. For example, land prices and construction costs may be lower than in other East African nations, allowing investors to acquire properties at a lower initial cost, with the potential for strong returns as the market matures.
For international investors, real estate in Tanzania offers an opportunity for geographical diversification. By entering the Tanzanian market, investors can reduce their exposure to economic fluctuations in their home country or other markets, while also benefiting from the high growth rates in East Africa.
