Katosi Road is the next investment hot spot because of Jinja-Mukono-Kampala express, Standard Gauge Railway and Katosi port.
Those three major transport options are making more people build factories along Katosi Road than in Namanve.
More investors are looking for land for factories along Katosi Road because besides having three major routes which isn’t in Namanve, Katosi road is an easy gate way to Eastern Uganda via Kisoga-Jinja High way making manufacturered goods easily reach customers in Eastern and Northern Uganda via Jinja-Soroti-Lira then connecting to Gulu via Kamudini or Westnile.
Factories making goods along Katosi Road also find their things easily distributed within Buganda via the waters through Katosi port to Bukakata- Masaka and via Jinja-Mukono-Kampala express
Also through Katosi port that is going to be expanded to become world class port, machandise manufactured from factories along Katosi road will easily reach port Katosi for on-ward delivery to Mombasa and the entire world.
There is also a proposed bridge that will soon connect Gabba to Kiziri in Mpunge subcounty near Katosi this will make it easier for people to connect between Kampala express and Katosi Road and people will forget the Jam of Mukono-Namanve-Bweyogerere and use Katosi,Nsanja-Mpunge-Kiziri-Cross L.victoria and land in Gabba.
Its therefore generally easier, cheaper and more convenient for a factory in Katosi to send its goods compared to a factory in Namanve that’s why investors are rushing to buy and establish factories along Katosi Road.
This investors rush will also push the cost of plots along Katosi road high.
