Who We Are

Bent Nail Properties Ltd. proudly presents Bella Vida Estate, a premium 40-unit residential community in Lusaka, Zambia. With modern rental homes, a world-class fitness center, and an integrated office park, Bella Vida is designed specifically for the high-end rental market. It offers investors strong financial returns while contributing to meaningful, long-term impact in local communities.

Bella Vida Estate creates opportunities through employment, skills development, and sustainable economic growth. As the estate thrives, it supports local families and contributes to transformative initiatives across Zambia.

As part of our long-term vision, Bella Vida Estate includes a strategic partnership with PDH Foundation. Through this partnership, a minimum of 20% of the estate’s income will go towards supporting PDH Foundation’s humanitarian and Christian mission initiatives. The agreement also sets a pathway for PDH Foundation to gradually move toward full ownership of the estate in the future. This ensures that Bella Vida not only delivers premium rental living but also becomes a reliable source of impact-driven support for communities across Zambia.
