Garden City Mall ground breaking opens more investment opportunities in Kenya real estate


Garden City Mall ground breaking opens more investment opportunities in Kenya real estate


The ground breaking of the largest shopping complex, Garden City Mall, in a month`s time will indeed bring a new dawn in the opening of more investment opportunities in Kenya real estate. The Mall, which is located along Thika Superhighway,  includes 3.4 acres of serviced land for sale, 50,000 square meters retail space to let and 421 residential units for sale.
The project has already received regulatory approval from the city council of Nairobi and the National Environmental Management Authrority (Nema). According to a statement from the major financier of the project, Actis East Africa, about 40% of the shop space in the Mall has been booked in pre-let agreements.
The managing director of the company also confirmed that all the necessary equipments required for the project are on-site and the ground breaking will start towards the end of this month. The construction of the Mall, which is scheduled for completion and official opening on November 2014, is expected to habor up to 120 international and local retail brands, providing a promising investment opportunity for people who want to buy property in Kenya.
Actis East Africa`s managing director, Michael Turner, also said that the Mall  will be divided into separate operating spaces that will be sold separately but each will hold interest in the central management entity in the development.
Investing in Kenya has indeed shown potential for real estate property investors, and there is no doubt that the plan by Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) for Real Estate Investment Trust (REILs) listing will attract a large number of investors in projects that require a lot of money-like the Garden City Mall. And that means solving major financial problems of funding such mega projects.

  1. The very heart of your writing shilst sounding agreeable at first, did not settle very well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but just for a while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do well to fill in those breaks. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being fascinated.
