The La Gare Mixed Use Master Plan project is a dense urban 360,000 SM mixed-use development masterplanned by Smallwood, consisting mainly of residential buildings. The expansive project also includes a 5-star hotel, 4-star hotel, office, and retail components. The site is well situated in the Addis Ababa historical and central neighborhood, opposite the CBD and Government Precinct, with direct access to a metro station/line and main road frontage.
The retail area is an open-air mall for local products with an internal spine/area that creates a sense of community, terminating at key design nodes within the project. Each residential cluster contains its own amenity areas adorned with open space and gardens.
