Sh 28bn Railway City takes shape as authority formed

Back in 2019:

American real estate tycoon and President of the United states Donald Trump has indicated an interest to invest in the multi billion shilling Nairobi Golf City development.

Trump who has several golf properties around the world is among 43 other interested parties; including TPS Serena, Commercial Bank of Africa, Spencon International, Premiere Flour Mills and Associated Motors.

The proposed Nairobi Golf City will be located on two properties belonging to Kenya Railways and the Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme; The Railway Golf Club on the east of Haile Selassie Avenue measuring 63 acres and The Railway Club on the west of Haile Selassie Avenue and bordering Uhuru Park.
 
Finally the railways land has been given attention. That place has been an eyesore in the CBD.
Imagine all this prime land was sitting idle yet its less than 100m from the CBD and about 600m from upperhill. 118 Hactares of KRC land was basically just a scrapyard right next to the CBD. If you look closely you will realize the Project area is bigger than the current CBD!

Isn't the green space across the highway next to the Israeli Consulate and the British Council in Upper Hill the Railways Golf Course? On the opposite side of the road next to Uhuru Park is the Railways Sports Club. Aren't those two properties also on KRC land?
 
No, they are not

Hizi taarifa nazirudia tena nashindwa kumeza zote, yaani hiki kitu kitakua "showstopper".

S what will be the fate of the likes like the Technical University of Kenya and The bus stand that serves Easy Coach and Guardian? Will the new city reclaim also markiti and the area behind muthurwa? For me, the first thing I would like to be removed that area is those train wagons and coaches. They make the city look very old from above.

Yes, it`s on KRC land but operated by wakubwa. So I doubt if it will be touched.
 
Huu ndio mfano mwingine wa middle-class.

Kuna ndugu zetu wa kusini walisema middleclass ni vituo vya mabasi, kitu hawafahamu reli za kisasa katikati ya mji ndio mpango mzima, ndio taswira ya uchumi wa kati.
Ziko wapi hizo reli? Mtakaa mnaongopewa hata lini? Kenya haina huo uwezo kwa ss bado hamuamini?

Hapa kwa Israel consulate umechanganya. haipo karibu na railways golf club ama hata karibu na British High Commission. Israel embassy iko located Bishop Road next to Loreto school valley Road.

There is a heavily guarded facility just next to the British Council with barricades on the road. Anyway, I was more curious about the status of the Railway Sports Club and Golf Course.
 
No, Niko radar msee. Naingia humu once in a while kushuhudia mnavyo garagazwa. Karibu mido inkamu ya ukweli uone vijana tunavyo changamka
[emoji1][emoji1][emoji1] Naona ulitoka 'neti' jombaa, karibu uraiani na usirudie tena. 😀
