In 2005, the Uganda Inspectorate of Government acquired a piece of real estate, measuring 1.2 acre of land from the Uganda Post Office after paying USh5.4 billion (approximately US$2.2 million at that time).

Construction is budgeted at $19 million (approximately US$69 billion in 2019 money). In July 2019, after fourteen years of planning, a ground-breaking ceremony was held at the present location. A consortium comprising Roko Construction Limited, a Ugandan construction company and its Rwandan subsidiary, ROKO Construction Rwanda Limited, was awarded the construction contract. Completion is expected in 2023.

The work is 100 percent funded by the Government of Uganda. The new office tower will save the government at least Shs2.5 billion (approximately $680,000) in annual rent.
