As Kenya positions itself as an economic powerhouse in East Africa, industrial parks are emerging as some of the most attractive real estate investment zones in the country. Areas like Athi River, Tatu City, Konza Technopolis, Naivasha Dry Port, and the Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone are becoming hubs for logistics, manufacturing, tech, and export-oriented businesses.
But here’s what most people don’t realize: real estate near these industrial parks is not just appreciating—it’s exploding in potential.
In this blog, we’ll show you how to strategically invest near these parks, what property types thrive, ROI examples, and how Frontnine Advisory connects investors with the right deals.
Why Industrial Parks Are Changing the Real Estate Game
Industrial parks attract factories, warehouses, international corporations, and large logistics firms. As a result, they:
- Create jobs that attract housing demand
- Spur demand for rental units, retail space, schools, and healthcare
- Improve infrastructure in surrounding areas (roads, power, water)
- Drive appreciation for neighboring land
They are economic magnets—and your property can ride that wave.
