<strong>MAPUTO</strong> <strong>WATERFRONT</strong> <strong>DEVELOPMENT</strong><br />
Maputo Waterfront, Mozambique, 2012<br />
Study model<br />
Maputo Waterfront Development is a<br />
vast and phased mixed-use project to be<br />
development on the site of the former<br />
Agriculture, Commerce and Industry Fair<br />
of Maputo, better known by its iconic<br />
acronym, FACIM. The programme<br />
includes shopping centre, offices,<br />
residential, besides a substantial hospitality<br />
component, comprising a 5-star business<br />
hotel and a 3-star unit.<br />
Due to the extremely high water levels,<br />
given that the plot is mostly made up<br />
of reclaimed land, PROMONTORIO<br />
proposed a scheme of compact 3+GF<br />
perimeter block podiums, using its interior<br />
for deck parking. This scheme offers<br />
Maputo citizens a classical urban grid,<br />
wherein retail at street level and services<br />
above envelop the whole perimeter of these<br />
multi-storey parking cores.<br />
Above these services-cum-parking<br />
podiums, the residential and offices towers<br />
are freely positioned evoking the modernist<br />
legacy of Maputo and the free-spirited<br />
lifestyle of its citizens.<br />
The heart of the scheme is the 50,000 sq.m<br />
GLA Shopping Centre, not only because of<br />
the facilities and amenities it offers visitors<br />
and residents, but also because of the flow<br />
of people it can potentially generates.<br />
Actually, this scheme presents a unique<br />
opportunity to create a retail “champion”,<br />
insofar as there will hardly be a better<br />
location or demand for a second shopping<br />
centre of this size in downtown Maputo.<br />
In addition, the scheme proposes the three<br />
other landmark corners: an office tower<br />
facing the main Avenue (Avenida 25 th<br />
of September), a 5-star corporate hotel<br />
overlooking the marina, and a 3-star hotel<br />
next to the adjacent ministry gardens.<br />
Offices are positioned perpendicular<br />
to the waterfront, whilst the up-market<br />
residential apartment building are parallel<br />
to the waterfront with a full panorama of<br />
the bay. A longitudinal boulevard across<br />
the ensemble and a waterfront promenade<br />
characterize the public space as a preferred<br />
yet non-exclusively pedestrian system;<br />
the latter are methodically intersected by<br />
perpendicular streets that bring in people<br />
coming from Avenida 25 th of September.<br />
