On August 12, 2019, a group of millionaire Muslim investors announced plans to build a commercial-cum-religious complex on 16 plots along General Waruinge Street in Nairobi's Eastleigh estate.
The project, dubbed 'Business Bay Square,' will feature wholesale and retail stalls for leasing to traders, as well as a hotel.
Additionally, the complex will include three blocks of residential units, a mosque, and parking silos for use by traders and residents.
The investors, trading as Ten Commodities Wholesale Limited, had raised funds and prepared architectural drawings for the planned mixed-use development.
According to a notice published by the National Environmental Management Authority (Nema), the public has been invited to submit comments within 30 days to assist in the decision-making process.
