A flagship for sustainable development
As East Africa's economy continues to grow, sustainable development is becoming increasingly important. Two Rivers reflects this approach through environmentally sustainable infrastructure, including rooftop solar panels and green areas that account for approximately 30 percent of the site.
Built on a greenfield site, the project also presented infrastructure and power-related challenges during construction. Addressing these challenges required careful planning and close collaboration between KONE, the developer, and other contractors.
“The exquisite design of Two Rivers Mall has its restaurants overlooking a riverfront with numerous activities including exciting dancing fountains, flume rides, bumper boats, aqua play, water zorbing and a skate park, among others, that keep families entertained all day long.”
