Tatu City is very proud to be associated with Chandaria

Industries as the company starts another chapter in its

already successful journey. Chandaria is joining other leading

Kenyan, regional and multi-national companies establishing

manufacturing bases at Tatu Industrial Park. These businesses

represent a significant investment in the Kenyan economy,

are some of the largest employers and generate large

revenues that power the country’s dynamic growth.

Nova Academies, a growing network of affordable, world-class

schools that is changing education across Kenya and the

continent, is launching its first all-girls 8-4-4 boarding high

school at Tatu City, the satellite city development near Nairobi,

in early 2017. Nova’s Tatu campus will become the company’s

regional flagship campus for East Africa. Nova Academies,

which currently operates five schools across South Africa and

Kenya, and which has larger ambitions for the rest of the

continent, will be Tatu City’s first education provider.

Chandaria Industries, the largest tissue and hygiene products manufacturer in East and

Central Africa, will build a new state-of-the-art tissue paper manufacturing facility at

Tatu Industrial Park, East Africa’s leading industrial zone near Nairobi. The company will

construct one of the largest tissue paper manufacturing facilities in Africa as an addition

to its existing manufacturing facility and headquarters in Ruaraka, to meet increasing

demand for Chandaria’s market leading brands. The new facility will be built on 29 acres

and will employ at least 1,000 people.

Nova Academies, which is headed by former Alliance Principal,

Chris Khaemba, will be situated on 20 acres. Several buildings

are currently being constructed for the incoming 2017 class –

including a dormitory, classrooms, an administration building,

and a dual kitchen and dining building.

Tatu City has provided the ground infrastructure that is critical for the

successful completion of the construction of the school. Road paving is

ongoing, along with the extension of the sewer line to Nova Academies

plot. The main water pipes are already installed and will be commissioned

by the end of the year. Placement of a transformer at the

Nova Academies’ site is at an advanced stage, and a security fence has

already been installed on the outer boundary.

For information on enrolling your children at Nova Academes, please visit

www.novaacademies.com/school-application.

The interest has not just been in the property itself; clients have

been interacting with architects to discuss details of designing a

house, and chatting with banks about financing options.

Remember, Kenya Commercial Bank offers preferential rate for

Kijani Ridge buyers, and we are happy to discuss other financing

options with you.

Home buyers have shown strong interest in Tatu City’s residential phase,

Kijani Ridge, snapping up 70% of the serviced plots since the official

launch in July 2015. We have processed more than 66 leases in 2016 with

residents now getting ready to build their homes. At present, a quarter

acre is selling at Ksh 8.5 million and half acre for between Ksh12.5 million

and Ksh15 million.

TATU CITY POWERS UPIn September, Tatu City signed a partnership deal with Kenya Power to

deliver power to Tatu City’s residents and businesses. Implemented in

stages, and sufficient for power demands for the Kijani Ridge residen-

tial area, the central business district and Tatu Industrial Park, as well as

infrastructure such as street lighting and the project’s water pumping

station, the partnership will see the construction of nine initial substa-

tions over three years.

Currently, there are four electricity transformer stations of 1 MVA

completed and 5 under construction. Tatu City has also completed

1km of underground cabling and 5km of overhead cabling.

Speaking after signing the deal, Nick Langford, Kenya Country

Head for Rendeavour, Tatu City’s owner and developer, said,

“We have always placed a premium on Tatu City’s infrastructure,

and we are pleased to have agreed a comprehensive power

solution with Kenya Power.”

WASTE AND WATER WORKSPracticaly in the blink of an eye, the wastewater treatment plant

construction for Tatu City has now been completed. Tatu City will

connect to the Ruai Treatment Plant which is just 8 km from the site.

One of Kenya’s most modern sanitary sewer solutions is at hand!

Tatu City has been working closely with Athi Water Services Board and

the World Bank on the design, construction and funding of this project

for the last two years. 15 km of sewage pipes have been completed,

with a further 5km under construction. We have also built 58 sewage

manholes.

While we are still on water, Tatu City has completed the construction of

two 2,500m3 water storage tanks, which will be connected to the

RUJWASCO (Ruiru Juja Water and Sewerage Company) treatment

plant. Along with this, Tatu City has laid over 20 km of water

connection pipes.

IT’S ALL ABOUT SCRUMS AND TRIESTatu City partnered with the Kenya Rugby Union for test matches

with Hong Kong and youth rugby development. Tatu City was on

board as Associate Test Sponsor to ensure that KRU comfortably

hosted the test matches: two-match series against Hong Kong on 23

and 27 August, and the Uganda fixture in the Rugby Afrique/Elgon

Cup clash on 30 July. We are delighted that Kenya came out on top in

all these fixtures!

UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI

STUDENTS GAIN PRACTICAL

EXPERIENCEAs mentioned in earlier issues of Tatu Buzz, Tatu City is keen to work

in partnership with leading educational institutions in Kenya. Our

work with the University of Nairobi offers practical experience to

postgraduate candidates from the University of Nairobi’s

Department of Real Estate & Construction Management (RECM).

Tatu City and RECM have agreed to establish a framework for

long-term cooperation, with further engagement to include regular

visits by postgraduate candidates for the next five years. The group

of postgraduate candidates included individuals studying for

master’s degrees in valuation and property management and

construction management. Among the group were registered and

practicing architects, quantity surveyors, land valuers, engineers,

land surveyors, project managers, property managers and estate

agents. Tatu City also aims to give the students an opportunity to

master plan a parcel of land scheduled for development, and to

develop a feasibility study for the selected site.

LIVE. WORK. PLAY.

The partnership played a significant role in developing and raising the

profile of test rugby in Kenya. We also aim to support the long-term

development of Kenyan rugby, includeing a commitment to partner

with KRU’s “Get into Rugby” programme. Get into Rugby works with

children to fulfil their growing passion for the sport.

AT TATU INDUSTRIAL PARK

WIDE SPECTRUM OF

RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS

There has been widespread frustration with the level of planning

and infrastructure in Nairobi’s Industrial Area, with overstretched

amenities and little room for expansion. Tatu Industrial Park is the

ideal solution for local, regional and international companies

expanding in Africa through a hub in Kenya. Tatu Industrial Park

provides power, water, sewerage and industrial grade paved roads to

industrial plots of varying sizes. Located within easy proximity to

Jomo Kenyatta Airport, Runda, Kenyatta University, Thika Highway

and the Northern and Eastern Bypasses, Tatu Industrial Park offers

450 acres of serviced industrial land.

Of the 450 acres, 250 acres has been sold and 50 acres are currently

under offer. Construction is already on going on 100 acres of Tatu

Industrial Park with the development of a bottling plant, a coffee

packaging and processing facility, and an energy compound.

Tatu City envisions an open community with housing options to suit any

budget - from single family residential communities like Kijani Ridge to

middle class apartments and affordable housing units.

In early May, Tatu City signed a deal with real estate developer, Lifestyle

Properties, which will construct 1,200 units on 30 acres with prices starting

from Ksh6 million. Tatu City is also in talks with other developers for the

construction of 1,000 low-cost houses with a price tag as low as Ksh2

million. This development will cater to a broad, underserved spectrum of

the market that requires good quality homes at an affordable price.

TATU PRIMARY SCHOOL SCORES

REACH RECORD LEVEL!The health and wellbeing of the communities living around Tatu City is

one of the project’s primary objectives. Tatu City has committed itself to

assisting Tatu Primary School, a government school founded more than

50 years ago. Today it has 250 students and staff members, offering

education in Grades 1-8.

Most students in this school are from underprivileged families and

cannot afford daily meals. In order to improve academic performance,

proper nutrition is essential. Hence, a meals program was launched with

the intention to provide a nutritious mid-day meal on all school days

throughout the year to all 250 students and staff members.

LIVE. WORK. PLAY.

Health & Education

Tatu City is also partnering with the Shamas Rugby Foundation. The

Shamas Rugby Foundation aims to bring positive social change through

the sport, as well as teaching life skills that encourage children to

challenge and change their mindset.

Tatu City is supporting Shamas to provide monthly rugby clinics that

include training and a meal. These programs will expand to Tatu Primary

School and to Ruiru sub-county.

It has been another exhilarating year for Tatu City! We have closed many

deals and reached major milestones throughout the year.

We cannot say that we did it by ourselves. We recognize the key role that

our partners play in making Tatu City a success, and wish to thank you all

for your support. Bring on 2017!

This program has reduced student absenteeism by 90%, and attention

spans and class participation have improved significantly. This reflects

in the above average performance of all students in the test scores

across all grades. The Term 1 (February) average scores were 240.76

and, by end of Term 3 (November), scores increased to 402.24 on

average across all grades.

In addition to the school meals programme, Tatu City is also planning

to continue the rehabilitation of the facilities by providing the school

with new furniture and education materials, such as books and other

learning tools, which will ensure the pupils learn in a secure and

conducive environment.
