A group of local investors are all set to help accelerate investment opportunities around Mt Kenya, as the construction of the region’s first fully fledged golf park project development gets off the ground.

The investors in conjunction with a consortium of professional golf course developers, consulting engineers and property managers are set to steer the development of a Sh5 billion golf park and resort near Naro Moru.

The project development team includes U Design architects, Ark Consultants, Northwind Quantity Surveyors, Total Golf Solutionz, Webston Consulting Engineers, Mahida & Maina Company Advocates, Capital Edge Solutions, and Interconsult Engineers.

Ark Consultants’ Director Reginald Okumu will lead the project team in which Mt Kenya Holiday Homes will incorporate cutting edge features — a serviced Helipad, Clubhouse, 9-hole lush green Golf Course and a Solar powered perimeter fence and street lighting network.

Speaking during the formal project ground breaking ceremony at the site just 20Kms from Nanyuki town, Okumu confirmed that the project will feature 95 holiday homes, each set on fully serviced plots.

Already, the project’s golf course construction works are 70 per cent complete with a Danish technology Ultra Modern greens and fairways pop-up sprinkler irrigation system installed by Irrico International Irrigation Systems.
