Harvest Industrial Park, Athi River.
Construction at Harvest Industrial Park Phase II continues to advance steadily as demand for modern industrial and logistics space in Athi River and the wider Nairobi Metropolitan region grows.
As one of Purple Dot International Limited’s key industrial developments, the project reflects the increasing shift toward infrastructure-led industrial investment driven by logistics expansion, regional trade growth, and demand for modern warehousing solutions.
Located within Athi River’s fast-growing industrial corridor, Harvest Industrial Park Phase II continues to attract interest from businesses and investors seeking strategically positioned industrial space designed for long-term operational efficiency and investment value.
Project Progress Update

According to the latest report:
- Concrete works are now 100% complete.

Athi River Continues to Attract Industrial Growth
Athi River continues to emerge as a key destination for industrial and logistics investment within the Nairobi Metropolitan region.
The area is benefiting from:
- Expansion of the Nairobi–Mombasa Highway
- Improved transport and logistics efficiency
- Connectivity through the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR)
- Increasing demand for modern warehousing outside Nairobi’s traditional Industrial Area
This shift is driving increased interest in large-scale, infrastructure-led industrial developments designed to support modern logistics and operational needs.
As the largest industrial developer in Athi River, Purple Dot International Limited has developed over 600 warehouses within the area, reflecting continued demand for structured industrial and logistics space.
Why Industrial Real Estate Continues to Gain Investor Attention
Industrial real estate is increasingly becoming one of the most attractive segments within Kenya’s property market.
Unlike several traditional property investments, industrial developments often offer:
- Longer lease periods
- Stable occupancy levels
- Predictable rental income
- Lower tenant turnover
Modern warehouse developments in Nairobi and surrounding industrial zones have, in recent years, recorded average rental yields ranging from 9% to 15%, depending on location, tenant profile, and infrastructure quality.
The sector also benefits from long-term lease agreements, with industrial tenants commonly occupying spaces for 5 years. This provides investors with more stable and consistent income streams compared to shorter residential tenancy cycles.
Growing demand from logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, and distribution sectors continues to support long-term growth within the industrial property market.
Designed for Modern Industrial Operations
Harvest Industrial Park Phase II has been planned to support efficient industrial and logistics operations through integrated infrastructure and operational features.
The development includes:
- 3-phase power connection from a 66KV power substation
- Common area generator
- Spacious loading and offloading zones
- 24-hour security patrol and CCTV surveillance
- County sewer and water connections
- Borehole water supply with high-capacity storage tanks
- Ample parking and circulation space
Strategically located, the development sits approximately 20 minutes from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and 30 minutes from Nairobi CBD.
Outlook
As infrastructure investment and regional trade activity continue to expand, demand for modern industrial space within strategic logistics corridors such as Athi River is expected to remain strong.
The continued growth of industrial real estate reflects a broader shift toward developments that combine accessibility, operational efficiency, and long-term investment value.
