Botswana has strengthened its efforts to address the national housing shortage with the launch of The Residency, a 135-unit residential development located in Block 8, delivered through a public-private partnership model.

Unveiled last week, the project is led by Messidor Investments in partnership with the Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF), Letsema Property Fund and Botswana Railways.
