São Domingos · Santiago Island · Cape Verde

Bem-Vindo a Casa.
Welcome Home.

41.4 hectares. 1,244 homes. 9 neighborhoods. A boutique hotel, a museum, event centers, a nursing home, schools, farms, and businesses — all connected by smart infrastructure and surrounded by the beauty of Santiago Island. Nos Zona Smart isn’t just a place to live. It’s a prototype for Africa’s smart urban future, rising in São Domingos, Cape Verde — 25 minutes from the capital.

🏡

Come Home

Imagine waking up to the sound of Santiago’s breeze, walking to a café where your neighbor knows your name, and knowing your grandchildren will grow up with the same morabeza you remember. A modern, safe, connected community designed around Cape Verdean values.

📈

Invest in Cape Verde's Future

Africa’s next generation of cities is being designed right now — and Cape Verde is where the blueprint is being proven. Backed by institutional partnerships, an S&P B+ rated sovereign, and a model the African Development Bank wants to replicate across West Africa.

Build With Us

Building a city from the ground up is rare. Nos Zona Smart is assembling the team — construction firms, technology partners, service operators, and pioneer businesses. With active AfDB engagement and international tenders underway, the opportunity is live now.

🌍

Join the Community

You don’t have to wait for the first building to go up to be part of Nos Zona. Our virtual community is already alive — connecting future residents, diaspora supporters, investors, and collaborators from around the world.

Built on Four Pillars

⚡

Innovation & Technology

From fiber-to-the-home connectivity to smart energy grids and digital services, Nos Zona integrates technology into daily life — not as a luxury, but as infrastructure.

🌿

Sustainability

Solar energy that cuts costs and carbon, rainwater harvesting that respects every drop, circular waste systems. Engineered for an island nation that understands scarcity.

💼

Economic Growth & Employment

Phase 1 alone brings 172 commercial spaces to market — restaurants, clinics, coworking, retail. A city that creates jobs not just during construction, but for generations.

😊

With a Smile

Here’s the test: are people smiling? A nursing home where elders are cared for with dignity. A museum celebrating Cape Verdean culture. When every design decision starts with “will this make someone’s life better?” — the answer shows up on people’s faces.

🎓

Education & Innovation

The Smart City Academy builds the skills, knowledge, and talent that make a smart city actually work. Nos Zona is a living laboratory — creating the playbook for Africa’s next generation of cities.

Who's Building This with Us

Nos Zona Smart is backed by institutional partnerships with the Municipality of São Domingos, ECREEE, and a growing network of technology, development, and community partners. This is not one company’s project — it’s a collective effort.
