Tatu City Welcomes CRBC as Main Contractor for Jabali Towers Development
Tatu City Welcomes CRBC for Jabali Towers Development
In a landmark decision, Tatu City has officially appointed the China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) as the main contractor for the ambitious Jabali Towers project. This initiative not only signifies the beginning of construction for two iconic residential towers but also highlights the transformation of Tatu Central, a vital district aimed at redefining sustainable living, working, and leisure in Africa.
A Major Stepping Stone for Kenyan Real Estate
The Jabali Towers project marks an important investment in Kenya's real estate landscape, reaffirming Tatu City's role as a leading urban development initiative on the continent. The project's early success is evident, with Tower A already 75% sold to both local and international buyers eager to invest in a premium lifestyle. This robust demand reflects the growing interest in mixed-use residence options in the region.
Spanning a total built-up area of 88,000 m², Jabali Towers will feature two high-rise structures, rising 25 and 36 stories respectively. In addition to the residential components, the development will encompass a 150-room hotel, Grade A office spaces, and a mix of 35 shops and dining options. The residences include studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with prices starting from KES 9.7 million (about USD 74,500), providing an appealing opportunity for homeowners and investors alike.
Elevated Living Environments
With an emphasis on elevating the living experience, the Jabali Towers project promises a wealth of premium amenities. Residents will enjoy access to a fitness center, an infinity pool, beautifully landscaped gardens, wellness facilities, co-working spaces, and lively public plazas designed to enhance community interactions. Such facilities are consistent with Tatu City's vision of integrating a holistic lifestyle within its infrastructure.
CRBC's reputation as a leading global engineering and construction company will enhance the credibility and quality of the project. With a vast portfolio spanning continents including Africa, Asia, and Europe, CRBC brings unmatched expertise, having previously contributed to infrastructure development projects such as the Talanta Sports City, which will serve as the flagship stadium for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Commitment to Quality and Sustainability
Stephen Jennings, Founder and CEO of Rendeavour, the developing entity behind Tatu City, emphasized the importance of quality in their ventures, stating, "The commencement of construction at Jabali Towers exemplifies our commitment to delivering what we promise. At Tatu City, quality is non-negotiable and guides every decision we make.” This dedication is mirrored in their efforts to collaborate with partners that share similar high standards in execution, such as CRBC.
The Jabali Towers project is built on over 15 years of substantial infrastructure investment in Tatu City, which includes access to round-the-clock potable water, a remarkable 99.7% power availability rate, high-speed fiber internet, and extensive road networks exceeding 70 kilometers — all attributes that signify Tatu City as a modern global urban center.
Moreover, the long-term appeal of Jabali Towers is further solidified by Tatu City's unique ecosystem that embraces a live-work-play philosophy. The upcoming Wellington College International Kenya, set to open in 2028, is anticipated to attract families and expatriates seeking a top-tier educational environment amid secure surroundings, contributing to diversifying the community.
In addition to well-maintained walking and cycling trails, parks, lakes, and green spaces, Tatu City is also the future home to the Tatu Wildlife Sanctuary, a unique urban wildlife preserve expected to open at the close of 2026. The sanctuary emphasizes Tatu City’s vision of harmonizing nature with urban life.
Economic Impact and Employment Opportunities
The development of Jabali Towers is projected to create more than 2,000 jobs during both the construction and operational phases of the project, supporting the local economy and providing sustainable employment across various sectors such as hospitality, retail, and property management services. This initiative is poised to not only bolster economic growth in Kiambu County but also across Kenya as a whole.
As Tatu City continues to evolve, the Jabali Towers project stands as a testament to its commitment to progressive urban development that prioritizes quality, sustainability, and community well-being, setting new benchmarks for the future of real estate in Kenya.
