With Reportage’s expertise and global standards, DIP Angola is poised to deliver exceptional urban living experiences, elevate the overall value of the development and strengthen its position as the premier destination for investment across Angola.”
The development will consist of two gated communities of equal size, each spanning 5,382,000 sq. ft. The ocean-facing community will feature a boutique hotel with 60 rooms, 2,050 luxury villas with high-quality finishes, and 4,000 sq. m. of retail community space. The hilltop community will include 2,500 medium to high-finish townhouses and 4,000 sq. m. of retail community space. Engineering activities have already commenced, with construction scheduled to begin in June 2026.
