Based on our experience working in Town Square, here are the most common renovation needs:

Compact space maximisation

Smaller floor plates need every square metre optimised. Built-in storage, multifunctional furniture zones, and clever kitchen design are essential.

Kitchen enhancement

Standard Nshama kitchens are basic but functional. Soft-close cabinetry, stone countertops, and integrated appliances elevate the daily experience.

Garden conversion

Small rear gardens can be transformed with artificial grass, compact pools or Jacuzzis, and covered dining areas.

Rental-ready packages

High investor ownership means demand for cost-effective upgrade packages that attract premium tenants without over-spending.
