Renaissance Partners, the investment unit of Renaissance Group, said Tuesday that it plans to build a $5 billion residential complex outside Nairobi, Kenya.
Tatu City is one of five real estate investments that Renaissance is eyeing in Africa after securing plots on the edges of capital cities in Zambia, Ghana and Zimbabwe as well as Lagos in Nigeria, said Chris Baxter, chief executive of Renaissance Partners.
“Our vision is to create a portfolio of four or five of these kinds of projects,” Baxter said. “It’s an idea we could take to international capital markets in four or five years.”
Recognition by African governments that cities must transform themselves to accommodate population growth has created investment opportunities, said Arnold Meyer, Renaissance’s managing director for real estate.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
