Maputo city: Office space sales in Maputo
2013/08/15
The average price per square metre for office space sales in Maputo ranges from US$2,000 and US$3,200, according to a study from the consultancy Prime Yield Moçambique (PYM), which expects prices to stabilise over the next five years.
By evaluating five areas the “Mozambique Real Estate 2013” study showed that the areas of Bairro Central B and Polana Cimento B, with an average cost of US$2,000 per square metre, are the cheapest in the city, whilst the Sommerschield area, where the cost averages US$3,200, is the majority expensive.
Bairro Central C (US$2,500) and Polana A (US$2,200) are in the middle-ground of the consultancy’s study which is “the result of field work, along with data from properties evaluated by PYM.”
In the rental market the respective costs per square meter vary between US$22 in Bairro Central B and Polana Cimento B, US$25 in Polana Cimento A, US$28 in Sommerschield and US$30 in Bairro Central C.
“Over the last five years the price of renting office space has risen due to high request, particularly from large companies (megaprojects) and the arrival of foreigners,” PYM consultant Daniela Costa told Macauhub.
According to Costa, in the next five years, the price of rentals should stabilise as new facilities are built, increasing the availability of office space in Maputo, which presently stands at a total of “approximately 337,000 square metres.”

Raw materials have long been linked to Africa in many business people’s minds
2016/05/11 Oil, gold, diamonds, palm oil, cocoa, timber: raw materials have long been linked to Africa in a lot of businesspeople’s minds. And in fact the continent is highly dependent on commodities: they constitute as much as 95% of some nations’ export revenues, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. But propping a country’s entire economy on commodities is risky business, like building a mountainside home on stilts. You can’t be sure about the weather, or in this case the commodities market. The current free-fall of oil prices to less than $40 a barrel is a glaring example. “The commodities cycle has tanked out,” says Austin Okere, founder of Computer Warehouse Group (CWG), a Nigerian emerging multinational financial services company. “And this time it looks additional structural than cyclical, so it’s not a matter of waiting it out. Something has to give.”
