Burj Zanzibar is a hybrid-timber residential tower planned by CPS Africa for Fumba Town, with a Canopy by Hilton hotel on its lower floors signed with Hilton on 1 December 2023 (162 rooms, opening expected 2027). The developer says more than half of the 136 apartments were sold by November 2025, with groundbreaking expected at the start of 2026 and completion targeted for 2028 (fumba.town, 4 Nov 2025). As of 31 October 2026 no source reports that groundbreaking has taken place; the developer's own March to May 2026 newspaper still calls it the planned tower. Earlier coverage gave 266 residences and a 2026 completion.

Online sales opened on 14 May 2025 via Launchbase and the developer said more than 50 of the 81 first-phase units sold in two days (The Citizen, 19 May 2025). A September 2025 advertisement promised groundbreaking that October, yet the project FAQ on 31 October 2026 still says construction will begin in Q2 2026 with completion in Q4 2028, and no source confirms a start.

Demolition of the site began in April 2026 after compensation to former residents (The Citizen, 14 Apr 2026). Phase One sales of 350 apartments and 42 retail spaces opened in October 2026 with no prices published; the developer says pre-mobilisation is expected shortly and construction should take about two years. The $250m figure appears in press headlines, not on the developer's pages.
