Housing Finance Bank and Pearl Marina Estates Sign Landmark MoU to Boost Homeownership in Uganda

Housing Finance Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with Pearl Marina Estates in a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at bridging Uganda’s housing gap and making homeownership more accessible to Ugandans.

The agreement, signed this week, marks more than just a formal collaboration. It represents a shared commitment to creating sustainable housing solutions that provide stability for families and strengthen communities across the country.

Speaking at the signing, Michael Mugabi, the Managing Director of Housing Finance Bank, emphasized the transformative nature of the partnership.

“This moment goes far beyond a formal agreement; it represents the real impact we can have on people’s lives with sustainable solutions. Through this partnership, we are not just financing homes; we are closing the housing gap in Uganda by making homeownership more accessible to families who once thought it was out of reach,”* Mugabi said.

The initiative will combine Housing Finance Bank’s financial expertise with Pearl Marina Estates’ innovative approach to real estate development. Together, the two institutions hope to create long-term opportunities for Ugandans to own decent homes while driving community growth and national development.

Mugabi noted that the collaboration aligns with the bank’s long-standing mission.

“At Housing Finance Bank, our purpose has always been to provide sustainable financing that supports long-term growth and prosperity. By partnering with Pearl Marina Estates, we are laying a foundation for lasting impact; empowering people, transforming spaces, and shaping a better future for generations to come,” he added.

He also applauded the leadership of Pearl Marina Estates for their vision and commitment to working together toward a shared goal.

“I appreciate the leadership at Pearl Marina Estates for walking this journey with us. The work ahead is exciting, and I look forward to the tangible difference we will make together,” Mugabi concluded.

This partnership is expected to unlock opportunities for many Ugandan families who have long aspired to own homes but were hindered by affordability challenges. It is also a testament to the power of collaboration between the financial and real estate sectors in driving sustainable national development.
