New Details of Ksh30 Billion Nairobi Railway City Emerge

The project is financed through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), with the UK government expected to fund the project at an estimated cost of Ksh30 billion.

The Kenya Railways Corporation has revealed the details of the proposed Ksh30 billion Nairobi Railway City project, which is to sit on a 438-acre plot of land in the central business district.

On Monday, October 19, Kenya Railways officials met with stakeholders from the public and private sectors for a validation workshop of the railway city project.

During the meeting, Kenya Railways confirmed that the multi-billion shilling project will have six development zones, including West Core, Front and Back Central Station and Market Core.

Other precincts include a zone dedicated to Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) and Affordable Sustainable Housing.

Of the 438 acres, affordable housing units have been allocated the largest share, taking up to 112 acres of land.

According to Kenya Railways, the central station front is the heartbeat of the entire development.
