Overview
ZAFARA PLAZZA is Reliance West Africa's pan-African extension in Burkina Faso. Located in Ouaga 2000 (the diplomatic and institutional district of Ouagadougou) it is a mixed-use complex of 48,000 m² built on 13,499 m² of land, in an institutional partnership with SONATUR.
The programme covers seven buildings (S, A, B, C, D, E, H). Building S houses SONATUR's headquarters, retained by SONATUR. Buildings A to D combine ground-floor retail with 75 apartments, T3 to T5. Building E adds retail units, an apart-hotel component and an infinity pool. Building H, the signature tower, brings together a conference centre, offices, a restaurant and a 5-star hotel of 175 rooms and suites. In total, 312 units are marketed: 75 homes, 175 rooms and suites, 44 retail units and 18 apart-hotel units.

Investment
ZAFARA PLAZZA offers an investment model structured around the 5-star hotel program, with a guaranteed annual yield of 10 %. Precise terms of the guarantee (duration, conditions, underlying assets) are shared in individual meetings with the investor relations team.
Apartment prices depend on the building, the surface area (T3 or T4), the floor and the orientation, each unit has an almost unique price. The full price list is presented in a one-to-one meeting, in person or by video call.
