The Nairobi business hub is set to launch the largest mall in Sub-Saharan Africa. With over 50 shopping malls, the Business Bay Square (BBS) mall in Eastleigh Nairobi, is one of modern and biggest malls in East Africa.
BBS mall is described as a world-class interactive and integrated mixed-use development project. It’s expected to be a game changer, having 3,500 shops, 3 hospitals, 12 banks, a 7-star hotel, 32 restaurants, 364 toilets and 2,200 packing spaces.
The developers say that there is high demand for shop space at the BBS mall from local and international brands. The mall is expected to get over 150,000 visitors in a day.
According to a member of the Eastleigh Business Community, Ahmed Asmali, “there are businesses on a waiting list waiting to occupy and this is because of the huge demand for shops in the area which is essentially the country’s business nerve centre”.
The Eastleigh mall is estimated to host investments worth billions of shillings and contributes at least 30% of taxes collected by Nairobi county.
The Business Bay Square (BBS) mall wrote on its instagram page that the “mall is modelled to be a unique one-stop centre for commerce that offers the ultimate shopping experience, which comprises several levels of retail space that include a Souk Market and a variety of shops”.
