    In today's competitive and challenging construction project management environment, the project manager skill is very crucial for the success of the project. This study intends to assess the project manager’s competency and its association with project success at Condominium 40/60 Housing Project in Addis Ababa. The study focused on Koyefiche, Gerji, Hayat Tsebel, Arabssa and Woreda 24 Condominium Housing Project sites. To achieve the objectives of the research, data were collected using qualitative methods from concerned project management personnel's and experts in the project environment. The data were collected with a response rate of 75% from the distributed eighty (80) questionnaires and analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20. Descriptive statistics focusing on the mean, standard deviation and percentages, as well as the inferential statistics focusing on correlation of variables were used to describe the findings and to show the correlation between the project manager’s skill sets and project success respectively. For analyzing the qualitative data content analysis were conducted and it is triangulated with the quantitative data to summarize the findings, conclusion and recommendations. The validity of the instrument was checked and internal consistency of the instrument was measured using Cronbach’s Alpha and the result was greater than 70%, which can indicate that reliability of data were good. Results of the findings were presented both in qualitative and quantitative manner. The finding of the study reveals that project goals are properly prioritized by the project managers and they exhibit good project management knowledge. However, project managers have deficiency in problem solving and negotiation abilities. Moreover, the study findings indicated that there is poor performance on budget utilization, milestones achievements and identification of customer satisfaction. Project manager skills in communication, leadership and goal prioritizing have higher correlation with project success. The study recommends that project management needs to improve project budget utilization and need to work on time realization of major project milestones. Furthermore, the study recommends future researchers to look at other competency demonstrable skills and relational skills that have an impact on project performance in relation to the one described in this study.
