The Town has had new malls namely, Cedar Mall, Peaks place and Nanyuki Mall that has been around for sometime. These malls have over 70% occupancy which for the size of the town is encouraging.

The demand for residential houses has been on an all time rise with most being fully booked even before the houses are complete. A good example is Kishan Towers and California Apartments that were fully booked on completion.

The Town has seen a large number of companies and businesses set up branches and offices such as Sidian Bank, Executive Super Rides, Equity Afia, Nanyuki Hospital, Quickmatt, Valentine Cake House,Toyota Kenya among many others trying to tap into the growing population in the town.

The Town’s growing infrastructure can be greatly attributed to the growth of the town with the recarpering of most of the tarmac roads within the town’s CBD.This has led to ease in accessing services within the town.

THE FACT THAT THE TOWN IS A COSMOPOLITAN TOWN

Nanyuki is a cosmopolitan town with 24 ethnic groups calling the town home. Some of these groups includes settlers, army men, citizens from neighboring counties which include Meru, Isiolo,Samburu,Nyeri. This mixture of people and cultures gives Nanyuki and Laikipia its uniqueness.   Of course, with all the amenities and provisions the town has to offer it over time has become a hotbed for investors with particularly the real estate market growing exponentially.

 COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS

The growth of Nanyuki town has unexpectedly been fast-tracked by Covid-19 restrictions imposed in the country by the government, especially in the capital, Nairobi and other cities in the country. The town has rarely been affected by the major lockdowns, making it a business hub that is under 3 hours’ drive from the capital.

With working from home becoming the norm, a number of organizations and their staff have opted to move their operations to Nanyuki while still performing at their optimum capacity. Of course, the shift has reduced the operational costs with issues such as transport, housing and generally the cost of living greatly reduced making the town an ideal destination to move to.

CLOSE PROXIMITY TO AMENITIES WITHIN THE TOWN

Nanyuki being a growing town, has most of its amenities a stone’s throw away from each other which make it easy to access all of them in a day unlike most of the bigger towns in the country. All the major Hospitals, schools, Malls, fuel stations and office blocks are within the town. This ease in accessing services is one of the main reasons most people are opting to move from the big towns to this small Booming Town at the edge of county 31.
