Mabani Aljazeera Group's Strategic Investment in Jabali Towers, Tatu City, Kenya

In a significant move for the construction and investment landscape in East Africa, the Mabani Aljazeera Holding Group, a prominent Saudi Arabian firm, has announced its investment in the Jabali Towers, a leading mixed-use development situated in the heart of the Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Kenya. This investment is carried out through its subsidiary, Swan Properties, marking a notable confidence boost from a major Saudi investor amid Kenya's growing appeal in the global market for foreign direct investments.

The Jabali Towers project is a striking development comprising twin skyscrapers, standing 25 and 36 stories high. With a blend of luxury residential spaces and commercial offerings, the towers will provide residents with exclusive amenities combined with 35 public retail and dining options. Impressively, the initial tower has already achieved over 80% sales before completion. Recently, Tatu City appointed the China Road and Bridge Corporation as the main contractor for the expansive 88,000 square meters development area, signaling a major leap forward in the infrastructure progression.

Abdullah AlMalki, Chairman of the Mabani Group, expressed enthusiasm about their investment, stating, "Investing in Jabali Towers aligns with our expertise and commitment to constructing high-quality buildings. Our collaboration will transform Jabali Towers into a premier real estate landmark in Africa." The joint venture stipulates that Swan Properties will hold 50% minus one share in the Jabali Towers development, with Rendeavour, the owner and developer of Tatu City, acting as the majority shareholder. This collaboration has also garnered praise from the Saudi Export-Import Bank, aimed at enhancing the development and diversification of Saudi exports in international markets.

Stephen Jennings, the founder and CEO of Rendeavour, noted that Mabani's investment is rooted in a 20-year track record of delivering on promises throughout Africa. Each year, Tatu City attracts more than half of all foreign direct investment flowing into Kenya, showcasing its potential as a prime investment destination. Jennings highlighted that there are numerous Saudi investors looking at opportunities in Kenya, and Swan Properties' pioneering role is just the beginning.

The Jabali Towers offer a range of apartment types, including studios and one, two, and three-bedroom units, starting at 10.2 million KES (approximately $78,200 USD). This pricing makes it an attractive opportunity for both homeowners and investors wishing to secure a residence within Kenya's paramount mixed-use Special Economic Zone. The project benefits from over 15 years of infrastructural investment in Tatu City, which features 24/7 water supply, a 99.7% electricity uptime, high-speed fiber optic internet, and more than 70 kilometers of international standard roads—creating the framework for a modern global city.

The long-term allure of Jabali Towers is amplified by the unique ecosystem of Tatu City, seamlessly integrating residential, work, and leisure spaces. The forthcoming Wellington College International Kenya, slated to open in 2028, is expected to further enhance the area’s appeal to Kenyan families, expatriates, and professionals seeking top-notch education amid a secure and designed environment. Additionally, residents will have access to over 100 kilometers of pedestrian and cycling pathways, parks, lakes, and vast green areas.

Furthermore, the Tatu Wildlife Sanctuary, the world’s only urban wildlife sanctuary, is set to open its doors in late 2026, embodying Tatu City's vision of harmonizing nature with modern urban life. Developed by Rendeavour, Tatu City is recognized as Africa's most rapidly evolving urban destination. Currently, it houses more than 7,000 residents, with a population growing at over 40% annually. Each day, over 35,000 visitors converge in Tatu City to live, work, study, and enjoy leisure activities within its well-integrated ecosystem, illustrating the project's expansive potential. With a development valuation exceeding $3.5 billion, Tatu City accommodates over 110 businesses, educational institutions serving more than 6,000 students, and around 3,500 mixed-income houses either occupied or in the construction phase.

This investment not only symbolizes a pivotal development in local infrastructure but also exemplifies an expanding international cooperation framework, enhancing the broader economic landscape of Kenya and East Africa as a whole.
