Our collaboration with Garden City Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, highlights this commitment as we help drive sustainable growth and economic opportunity in one of East Africa’s largest retail developments through a USD 37,3 million commercial property financing transaction. As a primary lender, our role extends beyond financing by providing bespoke deal structuring solutions enabling Garden City Mall to meet their business goals. We utilise our strengths as a pan-African bank to unlock long term capital certainty and interest rate risk management over the funding lifetime of the commercial property. By providing a sustainable framework that strengthens Garden City Mall’s goals, we’re helping to secure the economic viability of one of East Africa’s largest first integrated residential, retail and office (mixed-use) developments. This partnership is just one example of how we're empowering Africa’s tomorrow, together… one story at a time.
