The story of the newly inaugurated Arada Park is one of profound transformation, a landmark project officially unveiled today in the presence of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. What was once a 40-hectare area of neglected, hazardous, and dilapidated housing has been reimagined into a premier multi-purpose urban destination.

This project isn't just a park; it is a masterclass in integrated infrastructure and land-use efficiency. By renovating over 700 existing homes and buildings, we have ensured that development uplifts the community.
