Phase 1 was completed in April 2012, and features 710 buildings from 4 to 18 floors with 20,002 apartments. Public buildings include 246 shops, 24 kindergartens, 17 schools, 2 subway stations, 1 sewage treatment plant, 1 water treatment plant and all roads and municipal systems. The new city is the single largest investment project by China in Africa.
