Business Bay Square (BSS) has sealed a deal to develop 60 acres at Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ) by setting up homes, retail, offices, logistics facilities, and a mosque.
The project marks a major shift in investment by one of the region’s leading real estate developers away from Eastleigh in Nairobi, where he set up BSS Mall, which is the largest shopping mall and entertainment complex in East and Central Africa, spanning over 130,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 shops and restaurants.
Business Bay Square’s developments at Tatu City are projected at more than Ksh 65 billion and will feature high-quality residential units next to 30 acres of parks and recreation areas, commercial developments, including a petrol station and offices, and warehousing and logistics in Tatu Industrial Park. A mosque will be located near homes and schools.
The development timeline for the full 60 acres is 10 years, with designs already underway and construction due to commence within one year.
“BBS Mall changed how people viewed Eastleigh, showing that thoughtful development can reshape neighbourhoods and improve how people live and work. Now, the future of development is moving beyond the city centre, where there’s space to build holistic communities with everything people need — schools, offices, entertainment, shops, and extensive recreation. Tatu City offers exactly that: a well-planned environment free from congestion and the hassles of commuting,” said Business Bay Square Founder and Chairman Abdiweli Hassan.
Tatu City is the region’s leading destination for residential and commercial developers seeking space, order, and modern infrastructure with proper planning and sustainable growth.
“People today value a higher standard of living in well-governed, holistic communities. It takes visionaries like Abdiweli Hassan to execute large-scale projects that improve the lives of tens of thousands of people. We are delighted that Hassan selected Tatu City for this record-setting investment in Kenya’s future,” said Stephen Jennings, Founder & CEO of Rendeavour.
Residential projects at Tatu City include Jabali Towers, Porini Point, and Kijani Ridge, offered by Rendeavour, the owner and developer of Tatu City.
UK-Kenyan developer Unity Homes Is complete and fully occupied 1,200 units at Unity West and Unity East. Its ongoing projects include Unity One, Unity Parkside, and Silver Hill.
Tatu City, which is one of seven cities developed by Rendeavour, has attracted more than Ksh 450 billion in investment.
