Nairobi Garage opens a CBD office in response to new business demand
Nairobi Garage, a provider of workspace and meeting rooms to multinationals, tier 1 businesses and individual consultants, has unveiled a two floor business hub at 20th Century Plaza on Mama Ngina street in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) in response to rising requests for modern workspace within the city’s business heart.
“Our clients have unlimited access across all our locations so this is an exciting opportunity for us to take on so that we stay current and provide comprehensive business solutions,” said the director of Nairobi Garage, Hannah Clifford.
The surging interest follows a series of investments in the city centre, which had previously suffered a marked decline. Many large businesses had moved away to areas such as Upper Hill and Westlands.
However, there is a business shift – CBD has seen a flurry of development, a public face lift and new footpaths, the commissioning of a 21st Century central rail station, and the announcement of new exit links from the city’s high-speed expressway.
“There is little interest in the old, small, cranky workspaces that characterised the centre in recent years. The new businesses moving to the centre of the city want premium space at competitive prices,” said Ms Clifford.
For those working in the city centre, the abundance of eateries, restaurants, cafes, and services for professionals who may only have lunch hours to run errands, add to the advantages of the new location.
