As the first integrated residential, retail, and office development in Kenya, Garden City brings the well-rounded lifestyle of ‘live, work, play’ all in one thoughtfully designed location. It offers the popular Garden City Mall with world-class retail, a Business Park with Grade-A office spaces, plenty of leisure options, and upcoming facilities including a hospital and a hotel.
These are all situated at the doorstep of cutting-edge Garden City residences that include 150 modern apartments and duplexes along with 56 elegant townhouses. The mixed-use offering of this project combined with its strategic location along Thika Road in the capital city of Nairobi makes it an excellent opportunity for real estate investments.
Garden City is located just 15 minutes away from the Central Business District and is quickly being established as the focal point of the rapidly growing Thika Road, Nairobi. Location and connectivity are crucial factors to consider when it comes to investments and Garden City scores high on both of those counts.
The Thika Super Highway, completed in 2012, attracted the development of a number of residential and commercial projects in the area. Meanwhile, Garden City is also conveniently located amongst up-and-coming industrial and commercial areas including Baba Ndogo, Thika, Ruiru and the Eastern Bypass. The Outer Ring Road facilitates a reduced travel time of around 20-40 minutes to and from JKIA International Airport.
The Garden City Business Park will drive further demand and occupancies for these apartments, attracting housing for medium to senior staff of the big corporates that occupy the offices. This demand is also boosted with the availability of great infrastructure in terms of water, electricity, and sewage as well as road connections.
The availability of great infrastructure, in turn, drives growth for all sectors at Garden City, including investment opportunities in real estate.
The main benefits that investors must consider are:
a. Higher demand resulting in increased property values.
b. Improved accessibility to previously inaccessible areas.
c. Lower cost of development and construction costs.
d. Greater odds of achieving high returns due to constant growth.
