By Ropa Spaces, a trailblazing real estate and homestay company, is rapidly transforming Uganda’s property market. By offering affordable properties for sale and unique homestay accommodations, the company has positioned itself as a game-changer in the industry. Utilizing cutting-edge technology through its website and mobile app, Ropa Spaces is making property transactions seamless and accessible, delivering a Ugandan alternative to global platforms like Airbnb.
“Ropa Spaces is here to redefine the way Ugandans experience real estate and homestays,” says Rubaihayo Collins Paul, CEO of Ropa Spaces and founder of the Sapphire Africa Foundation. “Technology is the future, and it’s time for Uganda to fully embrace it. Our platform provides a solution tailored to the unique needs of our people, combining convenience with innovation.”
The platform allows property owners to upload their listings, giving clients access to an expansive inventory of homes, apartments, and plots. Whether seeking a short-term homestay or a long-term investment, users can browse, book, and purchase properties with just a few clicks.
With over 700 properties already listed, Ropa Spaces is setting its sights high. By mid-2025, the company aims to have more than 2,000 properties available on its platform. The platform caters to diverse demographics, from luxury clients to budget-conscious users.
“Our app is designed to accommodate everyone, from high-end clients to what Ugandans call ‘Omuntu wa wansi’ (the common man),” explains co-founder Wandera Ronald. “We’ve ensured the platform is intuitive and inclusive, making it easy for anyone to access quality properties.”
Ropa Spaces isn’t just competing; it’s aiming to dominate the Ugandan market. Collins Paul exudes confidence when discussing the competition. “What is Airbnb?” he jokes. “We’re on home turf, and we understand the Ugandan market better. In a few years, Ropa Spaces will be the go-to platform for real estate and homestays in Uganda. Mark my words—Airbnb won’t stand a chance here.”
By merging technology with real estate, Ropa Spaces is empowering Ugandans to take control of their property needs. The platform also creates opportunities for property owners to showcase their listings to a growing audience of tech-savvy clients.
“This isn’t just about business,” Collins Paul emphasizes. “It’s about giving Ugandans a solution that works for them, built by people who understand their needs. Ropa Spaces is more than a company—it’s a movement.”
As Uganda’s real estate landscape evolves, Ropa Spaces is leading the charge. With its innovative approach, ambitious goals, and commitment to local solutions, the company is set to redefine how Ugandans experience property ownership and hospitality.
Whether you’re looking for a dream home, a short-term stay, or a long-term investment, Ropa Spaces is ready to deliver—with technology, heart, and an eye on the future.
