Is Point E residential or institutional?

Both: the inner streets remain residential, while the main axes host embassies, organisations and clinics in former villas. This mix sustains constant land demand.

Why do institutions settle in Point E?

For the centrality, the calm, the villas' generous plots and the proximity of the university and the Corniche. That movement supports land values and sale liquidity.

Point E is a leafy, central Dakar district — historically residential, now also an institutional address: embassies, international organisations, clinics and schools occupy former villas, right next to the university.

In property terms it is a safe-value area: calm regular streets, constant demand from institutions and families, and a gradual shift from villas to quality residential and office buildings.

Point E at a glance

A planned district of regular, shaded streets between the Corniche, Fann and Mermoz. Proximity to the university, clinics and diplomatic missions structures demand; life and traffic run calmer than in the hyper-centre.

Which properties and projects in Point E?

Older villas on generous plots — sought by families and by institutions for offices —, recent apartments born of densification, and some mixed-use buildings. Rentals lean on NGOs, organisations and executives.

What to watch for in Point E

A plot's value depends heavily on its permitted use and immediate surroundings (residential or institutional). For older villas, structural condition and rebuild potential often matter more than the existing construction.
