Erdemann to build new Mavoko industrial park

Chinese firm Erdemann Property Ltd’s plan to construct an industrial park in Mavoko has moved a step forward with the submission of an environment impact assessment report to National Environment Management Authority (Nema).

Erdemann is proposing to develop the park on Mombasa-Namanga road interchange, Machakos County.

The property firm wants to construct 53 go-downs, gate house, power services buildings, office block, waste water treatment plant, landscaped gardens, drive ways and parking spaces and, ancillary facilities

“Nema invites members of the public to submit oral or written comments within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice to the director-general to assist the authority in the decision making-process for this project,” Nema said in a public notice published yesterday.

The firm’s first commercial and industrial property development Erdemann Industrial Park A is situated in Mlolongo town and was opened in 2005

The property comprises 15 go-downs covering a build-up area of 12,000 square metres.

The property is leased to tenants on a long-term basis.

In 2009, the firm also opened another park in Mavoko (Erdemann Industrial Park B) which comprises 24 units of go-downs.

Of late satellite towns like Syokimau, Mlolongo, Limuru, Thika and Ruiru have been attracting new industrial park developments, unlike the traditional zones of Industrial Area, Mombasa Road and Embakasi.
