Strategically located a mere 30 minutes from Nairobi's central business district, Tatu City is more than just another urban development; it is an accessible and appealing hub for both residents and businesses. Its proximity to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and crucial transport corridors leading to Uganda and Rwanda further elevates its significance as a logistics and economic center.

The grandeur of Tatu City's vision comes with a significant price tag. While the exact figures may fluctuate over time, the project has attracted investments totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. The funding for Tatu City is a collaborative effort involving international investors, developers, and consortiums, all of whom play a pivotal role in bringing this ambitious vision to life.

At the helm of the Tatu City project is Rendeavour, a developer renowned for transformative projects across Africa. Beyond Kenya, Rendeavour holds extensive land holdings in countries like Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The company is dedicated to translating urban development concepts into reality, and Tatu City stands as a testament to their commitment.

Tatu City's offerings are diverse, designed to create a holistic living, working, and recreational environment for residents. The development includes residential areas, schools, commercial and office spaces, healthcare facilities, parks, sports and entertainment complexes, and an industrial zone. Tatu City's meticulously planned design envisions a decentralized urban environment, offering a unique way of life for an estimated 250,000 residents and tens of thousands of daily visitors. Spanning a vast 5,000 acres, the land area of Tatu City underscores its scale and ambitious objectives.

The development of Tatu City is executed in stages, each contributing to its transformation. Residential areas are tailored to cater to a wide range of income levels, offering options that range from apartments to bungalows, villas, and exclusive neighborhoods on oneacre plots. This diversity ensures that Tatu City accommodates a wide array of lifestyles.

The growth of Tatu City has unfolded in stages. Key developments in various years include:

In 2023, the construction of Kenya's largest contact center began in Tatu City, and the completion of the last phase of infrastructure in Kijani Ridge marked a significant milestone, bringing underground power, water supply, and tarmac roads to the entire development.

The rise of Tatu City aligns with Kenya's dynamic urbanization trends, offering a decentralized urban center that seeks to alleviate congestion in Nairobi and provide modern amenities to residents.
