The foundation stone for the China–Kenya International Commerce Centre, a landmark mixed-use development, was officially laid today at the Jamhuri Showground in Nairobi.
The Sh5 billion project, which spans more than 68,000 square metres, marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s economic development and underscores growing investor confidence in the country’s stable and predictable business environment.
Designed to be a hub for international trade and commerce, the development will feature a world-class exhibition and trade centre, a five-star hotel, and a variety of modern commercial facilities.
Once completed, it is expected to directly generate at least 3,000 jobs, offering a major boost to local employment.
Officials described the groundbreaking as the start of a broader initiative to commercially transform the Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) facilities.
The project aims to convert underutilised government land into productive assets that drive economic growth and attract foreign investment.
This new development highlights Kenya’s commitment to fostering enterprise, improving infrastructure, and positioning Nairobi as a leading regional centre for business and innovation.
