Retail

A 150,000 sq.ft retail destination at the heart of Nairobi’s industrial corridor serving a built-in daily catchment of workers, managers, and passing trade.

Nairobi’s Premier Retail Address

Nairobi Central Park’s retail development sits adjacent to an operational industrial and business park with over 750,000 sq.ft of occupied space. For occupiers, that means footfall certainty from day one: a permanent daytime population of workers, shift-based BPO teams, and logistics managers plus significant passing traffic on Mombasa Road (A109). For investors and development partners, it means retail space that does not rely on greenfield catchment risk, because the catchment is already built and occupied.

The retail zone is masterplanned as a lifestyle, food, and service destination for the park’s community, with anchor tenant pre-commitment required before construction.

Three Modes of Retail Operation

Three Ways to Operate Within the Park

Anchor retail unit

30,000–50,000 sq.ft for a nationally or regionally recognised brand (supermarket, department store, or home improvement).

Lifestyle food and beverage cluster

Standalone and inline restaurant units with outdoor seating, designed for breakfast, lunch, and dinner trade across 24/7 shift cycles.

Service retail 

Pharmacy, health clinic, banking, dry cleaning, and telecom, services that support the park’s industrial and commercial workforce.

Operating Within an EPZ Framework

Nairobi Central Park’s retail is not a standalone bet. It is the amenity layer on a performing industrial asset.

  • Captive demand: 2,000+ daily workers and managers from the industrial zone alone
  • 24/7 customer base: BPO shift workers create morning, afternoon, and night trade
  • Passing trade: Mombasa Road carries tens of thousands of vehicles daily
  • Airport proximity: 6 km from JKIA — transit and layover traffic

A Partner You Can Build On

Sameer Africa PLC delivers more than a retail site. It delivers a counterpart with:

  • 55+ years of continuous operation in Kenya
  • NSE listing, audited financials, and zero-debt balance sheet
  • Built-in footfall from an already-operating industrial and commercial ecosystem

Sameer’s retail proposition is not speculative. It is a destination designed for a community that already exists.
