After the regime changes in the country in the 1980s, Ntinda became attractive to the well-to-do, and upscale residential neighborhoods began to spring up in the area. One such residential neighborhood had so many Uganda Cabinet Ministers taking up residence that it became known as "Ministers Village". Gilbert Bukenya, a former vice president of Uganda, owns a home in the area. Ntinda has an upscale shopping mall called "Capital Shoppers City", with a supermarket, banks, shoe stores, a restaurant, and a cake-making business. Surface and underground parking are available, along with armed security.{{cite web | url=http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16402:businesses-targeting-christmas | title=Businesses Targeting Christmas | first=and Simon Musasizi | last=Polly Kamukama | date=21 December 2011 | access-date=22 June 2014 | newspaper=The Observer (Uganda) | location=Kampala}}{{cite web | access-date=22 June 2014 | title=Police Faults Fire Safety At Burnt Capital Shoppers | url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Police-faults-fire-safety-at-burnt-Capital-Shoppers/-/688334/1478152/-/i74u4u/-/index.html | last=Agencies | first=and Abubaker Lubowa | date=13 August 2012
