The Uaso Nyarobe Waterfront project comprises of 800 metres of the Nairobi River, 26 acres of privately owned undeveloped land between the Nairobi Museum and the Globe Cinema Roundabout.
The intention is that this should be a mixed use, mixed income and mixed community development.The philosophy is for the “urban village” to replace the traditional typical municipal homogenous subdivisions of the past. This conceptual design will create the town/village feel by incorporating a mixture of single family, multifamily and commercial ownerships, alongside generous landscaped and waterscaped public open spaces, and open market spaces. Offices and residences will therefore be in walking distance of each other.The North bank with the larger land mass, bordering Kipande Road, will be developed for the lower to lower/middle income market, with approximately 3,500 kiosks provided with full services – security, electricity, water. Micro scale commercial enterprises will be well served by the market areas available, with some spaces hired on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. The South bank, North of Kijabe Street, will be developed for the middle income and upper income market, with a mix of retail, commercial and residential property.The Uaso Nyarobe Waterfront offers exciting environmental and social value, with attractive financial returns. “Creating sustainable communities is responsible land use”. Architect Jim Archer.
