The Government of Kenya, through the State Department for Housing and Urban Development (SDHUD) under the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development and Public Works, has launched an expression of interest (EOI) tender for the Railway City Development Project in Nairobi.
SDHUD intends to redevelop the Nairobi Central Railway Station and its surrounding areas into a multi-modal, transit-oriented, urban development dubbed “The Nairobi Railway City”. Owing to its strategic location, the Nairobi Station Area will be developed into an iconic nerve centre for the Nairobi multimodal transport system with a world-class new central station incorporating mixed-use commercial developments, housing and intermodal facilities. It will serve as a functional, architectural and urban centrepiece to Nairobi’s growing global reputation as a leading modern city on the world stage.
The project site is located at the centre of Nairobi city and is surrounded by the industrial area to the south, the CBD area to the north and dilapidated and ready for redevelopment residential houses on the eastern side. The total area is 172ha (425 acre).
The proposed Railway City development presents a unique opportunity to develop a smart new city in Nairobi showing the way in sustainable and eco-friendly urban planning development.

The deadline for the submission of the expression of interest is on August 21, 2020.
