DFCU House houses the headquarters of DFCU Group and the main branch of DFCU Bank. As of December 2017, DFCU Bank was the second-largest commercial bank in Uganda by assets, with total assets in excess of UGX:3 trillion (US$800 million).[4][5]
The building rises approximately 118.65 feet (36 m) above ground, with ten office floors. Space that is not used by the DFCU Group, is available for rent to commercial tenants.[1][6]
DFCU Group, the parent company of DFCU Bank, had its headquarters offices scattered in several buildings in Kampala. In September 2011, construction began on a ten-story office complex on Nakasero Hill, to serve as the group's headquarters and house the main branch of the bank. Roko Construction Limited, a Ugandan construction company, was contracted to construct the building at an estimated cost of US$10 million (UGX:28 billion). Construction began in September 2011, with completion during the second half of 2013.[7] As of June 2014, the construction was complete and occupancy was expected to take place in the second half of 2014.[8] The office tower, valued at UGX:55 billion at that time, was officially dedicated as open in September 2015.[9]
