NAIROBI-- A Chinese-built mall is set to open in Kenya in June, the developers said on May 6.
Centum Chief Executive Officer James Mworia said that his organization has partnered with Chinese firm AVIC International to develop and construct the Two Rivers Mall project which is a mixed-use development project that sits on 100 acres in Nairobi.
The real estate project will provide 850,000 square meters of developed land. Phase one of the project will cost 250 million U.S. dollars and consists of a 670,000 square feet shopping mall and two office towers totaling 200,000 square feet of office space as well as 1,500 parking bay.
"We selected AVIC International because they have the technical capacity to construct large scale projects," he said.
Mworia added that the project has also benefited the locals.
"Out of the 2,000 workers on the construction site, 90 percent are locals who will receive expertise in construction," he said.
