Tatu City, Kenya, 13 October 2025 – Business Bay Square owner Abdiweli Hassan will build 60 acres of homes, retail, offices, logistics facilities, and a mosque at Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ), representing a major shift in investment by one of the region’s leading real estate developers away from the centre of Nairobi.

Mr. Hassan’s developments at Tatu City total more than KES 65 billion and will feature high-quality residential units next to 30 acres of parks and recreation areas, commercial developments, including a petrol station and offices, and warehousing and logistics in Tatu Industrial Park. A mosque will be located near homes and schools. The development timeline for the full 60 acres is 10 years, with designs already underway and construction due to commence within one year.

Mr. Hassan has a track record of delivering market-leading developments. Business Bay Square, in Nairobi’s Eastleigh neighbourhood, is the largest shopping mall and entertainment complex in East and Central Africa, spanning over 130,000 square meters, with more than 1,000 shops and restaurants.

“BBS Mall changed how people viewed Eastleigh, showing that thoughtful development can reshape neighbourhoods and improve how people live and work,” said Business Bay Square Founder and Chairman Abdiweli Hassan, OGW, EBS. “Now, the future of development is moving beyond the city centre, where there’s space to build holistic communities with everything people need — schools, offices, entertainment, shops, and extensive recreation. Tatu City offers exactly that: a well-planned environment free from congestion and the hassles of commuting.”
