The industrial market has increasingly seen investor’s interest in Africa. Nairobi is not an exception as it is emerging as one of the fastest growing sectors in the city amongst other traditional sectors. Its growth is fueled by the need for warehouses by fast moving consumer goods companies, manufacturing, logistics, as well as agricultural companies. 

It is now more common to see purpose built warehouses or industrial parks. Some of the key pipeline warehouse projects in Nairobi include:

• Infinity Industrial Park
• Nairobi Gate Phase 2
• BSS Business Park, and 
• ALP West Logistics Phase 3
