How One-10 Apartments is Redefining Luxury Living in the Heart of Kololo
Inside Sudhir Ruparelia’s One-10 Apartments, a new chapter of luxury living is unfolding in Kololo, where the city’s skyline now frames a tower designed not just as a residence but as a lifestyle statement. Rising 15 storeys on Prince Charles Drive, the building commands attention with its modern façade, yet its real story lies within the carefully curated interiors and amenities that redefine what it means to live in Kampala’s most exclusive neighborhood.
Each of the 143 units, ranging from one to four bedrooms, has been tailored to appeal to both young professionals and seasoned investors looking for a blend of comfort and sophistication. Step inside and the immediate impression is of space and light, with floor-to-ceiling windows opening up panoramic views of the city below. Elegant finishes, imported tiles, and modern fittings speak to the developers’ promise of durability, while open-plan kitchens and expansive living rooms are designed to create both convenience and intimacy for residents.
Beyond the apartments themselves, the development leans heavily into lifestyle. The poolside bar and café, a first in Meera Investments’ residential portfolio, gives residents more than just a place to live—it offers a community space where casual meetings, evening drinks, or family weekends can unfold without stepping outside the compound. Secure underground parking, water reserves, and backup power add a sense of reliability that has become essential in Kampala’s competitive property market.
Sudhir Ruparelia, the Chairman of the Ruparelia Group, describes One-10 Apartments as part of his broader vision to elevate standards in Uganda’s real estate sector. “We are not only building homes; we are creating experiences that stand the test of time,” he explained, noting that the company’s three decades of investment in construction give it the stability to deliver premium developments on schedule.
Industry analysts suggest that the timing of the project reflects both confidence in Kampala’s luxury housing market and an effort to consolidate the Ruparelia Group’s position at the very top of the sector. With the recent RR Pearl Tower still fresh in memory, the unveiling of One-10 Apartments is viewed as a calculated move to keep pace with demand from both local elites and expatriates seeking quality housing in secure, central locations.
For residents, however, the allure goes beyond business calculations. The tower’s amenities—ranging from the poolside leisure spaces to the private balconies overlooking the city’s green ridges—offer an environment that is at once private and social, modern yet rooted in the city’s natural charm. It is this balance, insiders say, that positions One-10 Apartments not just as a building but as a lifestyle hub, setting new benchmarks for luxury living in Kampala.
