Developments
In January 2023, MTZ Holdings purchased Nairobi Business Park, measuring 16 acres (6.5 ha) at an undisclosed sum estimated to be more than KSh2 billion (approx. US$16.2 million), at that time.[4][5] In September 2023, the Business Daily Africa reported that MTZ Holdings planned to build a 150-bed "multispecialty hospital" on 2.5 acres of the site.[1]
The planned hospital comprises two basement floors and six floors above ground for a total of eight floors. The construction of the hospital is budgeted at KSh3.24 billion (approx. US$22.1 million).[1]
