Kenya: Shopping Mall Boom Hits
Business Daily (Nairobi): Beatrice Gachenge And Wangui Maina

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z8/kenyandude/DSCF0258.jpg

On the first Sunday of March 2009, Nairobi's Lang'ata Road will wake up to the sight of a new shopping mall. If all goes according to plan. It will be the eleventh shopping mall to grace Nairobi's skyline and potential tenants are already lining up for space.

The mall, which is expected to house about 30 tenants, is evidence of a growing appetite for shopping space in the city. This appetite has seen developers increase their investment in commercial buildings with two other malls expected on Thika and Kiambu roads in the next two years.

These new shopping centres are an indication of increased purchasing power among Kenya's emerging middle-class with disposable income to spend on luxury goods. Knight Frank, a property company that is managing most of Nairobi's malls and overseeing the development of new ones, says it is currently swamped with demand for space both from local and international brands.

Several international brands have expressed interest in the Lang'ata Road mall, including a German car maker who is looking at the property as an avenue to re-enter the Kenyan market. Cotts, a renowned British furniture brand, has also expressed interest in letting space at the Lang'ata Road mall to establish a foothold in the country. The appetite for space in shopping malls has been whetted by the success of Westgate, the first to attract major international brands.

Located in Westlands, it opened its doors a year ago. This facility, which has been billed as ultra-modern by its developers, boasts of iron wrought railings and a refreshing waterfall at the entrance, has attracted international brand shops ranging from world renowned sports houses Nike and Adidas, to clothes shop United Colors of Benetton.

Converse has also set up camp on the ground floor with international watch maker Rado set to open a store. The mall has also provided space for local brands such as Kazuri, Little Soles, Sir Henry, and Dormans among others to expand, while Artcafe and Johari have made their debut.

Maina Mwangi, the head of property management Knight Frank, says this is Kenya's first mall to host so many international brands under one roof. Knight Frank also manages The Junction on Nairobi's Ngong Road and Crossroads in Karen. Mr Mwangi says that location is part of the success of the malls business in Nairobi. "The best location is outbound allowing access as people head out of the city," he said.
Left side

This is why most of the malls are on the left side of the major highways out of the city. According to him a mall on Thika Road has taken a longer time due to scarcity of land on the left side of the road. This side of the highway spots the National Youth Service, General Service Unit and Nakumatt on the left.

"The only available space is near Roysambu, which on the other hand, fails to make much business sense to proprietors who would want to capitalise on prime property," he said. For this reason Thika Road's mall will have to be on the right hand side of the road. These new developments have moved the country far from what it was 10 years ago when it had only two major shopping malls, Sarit Centre in Westlands, and Yaya Centre in Kilimani - some of Nairobi's high-end districts.

Commercial property development in Westlands has reached a near deadlock due to scarcity of land as it takes a minimum of five acres of land to construct a modern facility. Population is another major factor that influences the decision to put up a mall in any part of the city. Human traffic determines how popular and viable a mall model is and the potential of its success.

Malls count their success in the conversion rate yielded from the human traffic into the facility. Dormans operations director, Loise Wood, notes that a key consideration when choosing the malls to set up shops in is always bases on the customer base expected to visit the mall. "Location is very important," she says.

Dormans operates outlets in Junction, Yaya Centre, Westgate, Sarit, Village Market and Crossroads. The Junction has managed to be one of the best performing malls with a traffic average of 4,000 on weekdays and twice the number on weekends due to its location. Junction serves the suburban areas of Kilimani, Ngong Road, Lavington, Kileleshwa and even the far off Karen.

Its construction a stone throw away from Prestige also on Ngong Road a few years ago was seen as poor judgement with one expected to fail. However this was not the case, both continued to record good traffic flows and when Crossroads was open almost a year later in Karen traffic did not falter in the other malls.

Junction has however had an impact on traffic flow to Sarit Centre with customers from that side of town choosing not to venture all the way to Westlands. Westgate with its modern trimmings is also giving the older mall a run for its money and is expected to surpass Junction's traffic in the near future.

Sarit records an average of between 20,000 and 22,000 weekly with weekends, Friday and sometimes Wednesday attracting the highest traffic. To remain relevant the mall has continuously invested on refurbishments of the property giving it a new shine.

Yaya Centre, in Kilimani, also boasts similar traffic as Sarit on a good week. Three years ago it embarked on a major face-lift incorporating more glass displays to give it a modern look. Consumer market analysts' note that loyal mall visitors are not only brand conscious, but are attracted by the general ambience.

Anchor shops
However, anchor shops have been identified as the major traffic puller for any given shopping mall globally. In developed markets apparel stores have served as anchor shops. In Kenya the scenario is different. Supermarkets have proved to be the key to attracting traffic, working as the best anchor shop for the malls.

Sarit Centre and Capital Centre on Mombasa Road have Uchumi supermarket in their premises while Junction, Presitge, Westgate and Crossroads have Nakumatt. Yaya is home to Chandarana Supermarket, the main traffic puller for the mall. With every anchor shop is a sub-anchor store or stores. Mr Price Homes works for Westgate while Woolworths and Nairobi Sports House work for Yaya.

While Sarit Centre has attracted traffic with the two major Safaricom service centres in its premises. Village Market, the biggest outlet, on the other hand hosts a mix of anchors including Nakumatt and its water slides. Upon opening its doors Junction had Stataffords, a South African apparel shop, as a sub-anchor however it nearly pulled down the mall. The developers were forced to move fast and opted to reconfigure the space.

Smaller shops were set up which were quickly grabbed by brands like Samsonite, Nike, Best Sports and Mr Price, the remaining space was cut out for a food court. Most tenants want to be next to the anchor or sub-anchor due to traffic and have to pay a premium for this compared to anchors which pay less due to pull of traffic. Tenants wishing to rent out space will pay Sh180 per square foot today compared to Sh140 when it was new. Westgate demands between Sh200 and Sh250 while Yaya demands about the same amount.

Due to the sensitivity of the retailing, developers rarely let to first timers who have very small brands. Mr Mwangi said it was mandatory to look into the business model of the shops of which they may vet their accounts before letting out a premise. "Several business have been turned away form the malls, if their marketing plan is not well elaborate, and general awareness of the brands" he adds.

Rarely will a mall extend beyond four stories as most shoppers find it inconveniencing to go up and for this reason most entertainment and food spots are on the top level to attract customers. According to the director of Yaya, Elizabeth Klem, shops on high level are cheaper since don't attract as much traffic. This also applies across the board.

"Tenant mix is a major part of malls selling themselves to clients who expect to find a variety to meet their needs," said Ms Klem. Sarit management also notes that they have had to control their client mix in order to have a good representation. The mall seeks out potential clients if there is a niche to be filled and sometimes they are approached by the clients.

Tenant mix helps to draw traffic from the widest audience possible and malls in the country have been investing in the right mix to ensure increased traffic. Entertainment and food courts have become major features as today's consumer demands for both.

Nu Metro, of South Africa, is one of the brands that has grown at the pace of the malls as they open cinema halls in every new mall erected in the city.
Today consumers can enjoy children's play areas, live shows and product marketing on the corridors of malls, a variety of food in the food court or themed restaurants, stunning merchandise displays and movies all under one roof.

This is a far cry from the origin of shopping centres which were mainly in the form of open market squares, bazaars and seaport commercial districts centuries away. The current concept of malls, which features thousands of square foots under one roof, mainly began in the 1920s and have since become a major feature of cities.

Kenyan malls are mainly marketed as one unit and as the city welcomes new malls in its skyline property mangers will have to find creative ways of encouraging customers to step into their properties. In mature markets malls have gone to the extent of opening interactive websites that clearly inform customers on the units.

I should think so, I don't know any foreign developer in the mall business. Plus most stores inside are Kenyan.

^^@kenguy this upcoming mall is where i guess will the next nakumatt supermarket from atul shah comments indicating the next 2 supermarkets will be opened this year in kiambu road and langata road respectively :cheers:

Update of new completed malls: (Anchor store is Nakumatt, as usual.)

1. Centre Point Mall- Diani, Mombasa (Coast Province).
2. Holden Mall- Kakamega (Western Province).
3. Eldo Centre- Eldoret. (Rift Valley Province).

^^is centre point and Diani Beach shopping centre the same :dunno:

No. Centre Point is a brand new mall.

As for the new Kiambu mall, I think its definitely going to have Nakumatt as the anchor store. Trust me, in 5-10 years time, that area will make Muthaiga look like a slum (Im just kidding*).

just got back from Nairobi and was more than impressed with WESTGATE its carpark kinda reminded me of the Mall of the Emirates

while on the other hand The Village Market was ok even though it was too clustered and congested with ridiculously overpriced items

My favorite in Nairobi still remains THE JUNCTION and nothing beats catching a movie there then having some thing to eat at NAIROBI JAVA HOUSE

Village market has never been my favourite too.Kenyan Tshirts being sold for 4,500kshs is just an insult.Westgate is classy but too classy until it is way out of reach for many many kenyans.There are some shops which price their goods in pounds! shoes for 600pounds!

I think sarit centre is the best mall which has tried to find a middle level playing ground.

I am now waiting for the new malls coming up on the eastside of the city. I wonder how they will price themselves to rope in the eastside population which is not as affluent as the westside.

Having grown up there in the 80's, these are exciting times for the eastern side of the city.

I don't see much of a difference in terms of pricing. The eastlands malls are targetting the middle class on that side of the city which might have almost the same purchasing power as the middle class on the west side. Just look at the locations of the malls: Embakasi, Donholm etc. I'd be surprised if they build one in a place like Umoja or Bahati.

I really want to see how the populations of the smaller towns take to the new malls that have come up. Now a kid in Kakamega deep in western Kenya can hang out at a mall much like his counterpart in Nairobi. You are right, these are interesting times.

Hey guys. I just heard over the radio that the new muthaiga mall has officially opened. Anyone with the details?

Im trying to work out on the economics of scale when i comes to building a mall such as the WESTGATE which i think is the best in East Africa

Can someone hook me up with details of the company that owns it? Its something that im so keen on being involved with in TZ.

Does an investment of $ 30 million right for such thing? or thats too small?

They have given their contacts on their website http://www.westgate.co.ke maybe you can get more details if you write to them.

IMO, that mall's cost might be slightly higher due to land values around Westlands. If you are thinking about putting such an investment in Dar in upmarket areas like Mbezi beach, Mikocheni, etc. I guess you should be prepared to dig deeper into your pocket.

30 million sounds just right.I hope its Dollars and not Tanzanian Shs.lol.

Anyway,the big factor will be the value of land.It can cost upto or even more than half of the whole project.Westgate is located in Westlands Nairobi,and this areas land prices is off the roof.Infact i doubt whether an individual can afford any land in Westlands,thats why Cooperate clients are putting up offices buildings.

Infact i was looking for a fresh new piece of land in Kigamboni area of Dar instead of Mbezi which means its gonna be cheaper and easier and cheaper to plan and construct a shopping mall of Westgate's magnitude. Infact I suspect the costs might be half of what westgate spent in Nairobi.

Issues such as traffic management and so on will be easier and cheaper to incorporate

I thought land anywhere along the coastline would be damn expensive. Anyway, Im no expert on Dar's land rates. What about access? I guess you need to find a prime location along a major arterial road just like what Milimani City did.

How about this side of Oyster bay.I think that can be very appropriate for you since there is no much congestion...or Mwenge area where much human traffic is available at peak hours coz of transport home..

wanafuraha sana ati wenyeji hatuna.Any ideas?
Diaspora kenyans ni wengi.Wangeza kushikamana kuanza mradi kama mall,office block n.k watapiga hatua kubwa.Kwa mfano wakenya kama 260 wakitoa $60k each unapata $15m for a good project.Ulaya kuna kampuni nyingi kazi yao ni mall or apartment operators and wakenya wanaweza hayo.
Anyway,just a thought.Mnaona aje?

i dont know if you have figured this but only those africans from lesser or poorer economies than kenya say these kinds of things. fact is most of those people would "kill" to have an economy like kenya's economy

There is already a diaspora organization (US-based mainly) that invests alot in kenya, I can't remember the exact name but I know they had their eyes on some energy projects.

Plus, alot of diasporians are not just spectators, the ones I know heavily invest in real estate or buy shares in the stock market through nominee accounts etc etc.
The fact that it is not talked about does not mean it does not exist.
Alot of people "walk the talk" if you know what I mean.

Finally read on businessdaily that IKEA will open a store at Roysambu after the Thika Road is complete.I wonder how big or profitable the move will be.I visited one in Moscow a few years ago,and it was nearly a kilometre long..

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4007/5080285043_ea16e9f469_z.jpg

The expanded Junction Mall is first class. Some of the stores include Mr. Price, Mr. Price Home, Levi's, Woolworths, Converse, etc. There is a new food court (but I am yet to spot the new KFC so I am not sure where that will be). Unfortunately, did not carry my camera to capture it but will try to do so in a few days!!

Who are the owners of WESTGATE? Is it 100% Kenyan owned?

I don't know who owns the Mall itself, but i doubt nakumatt owns the mall.They are most likely tenants.You can visit the site and see if you will get more info.

I'm not sure, didn't get to go to their restaurant. Though their signage is up and that bucket with Colonel Sanders face has been put up at the far corner of the parking lot.

There's a new mall U/C in Rongai called the Maasai Mall. Anchor store will be Uchumi. I'm still trying to get renders and more information. :)

^^yes, its on the newspapers sometimes back, i even guess they are probably two upcoming malls in that region :)

DB could this be the same mall they're alluding to in this Financial Times article? I'm amazed at what the article says that owners of Junction Mall have already sold it for 3 times its initial costs.

A huge mall called freedom city is u/c in entebbe several are rising in kampala and ive heard that gulu has an new mall with uchumi as the base store . apparently uchumi is going to build more in jinja and mbarara.

There's also another mall coming up in Entebbe called Victoria mall (anchor store is Nakumatt). I noticed a large plot on High Street, Mbarara that was recently fenced. I'm guessing it may host the Uchumi store when the plot is developed. I'll try take pics and post them in the Ugandan section. :)

We need more Westgate pics
I'm just obsessed with that Mall

there should be a dedicated Flickr page for that M.all

btw

wow Galleria looks awesome looks like those smaller malls that you find in more affluent neighbourhoods in the West

Village market has never been my favourite too.Kenyan Tshirts being sold for 4,500kshs is just an insult.Westgate is classy but too classy until it is way out of reach for many many kenyans.There are some shops which price their goods in pounds! shoes for 600pounds!

I think sarit centre is the best mall which has tried to find a middle level playing ground.

i agree, Sarit has stood the test of time because its an all round mall unlike some of the new ones which are soul less and full of products that more than 3/4 cant afford, Sarit has something for everyone and that's why we have been going there since childhood.

hey guys help me out. is that a school behind the mall?

In Kenya what criteria do they use to consider a project a mall.Is it the size, of the project coz some of the "malls" are IMO shopping centers or is coz they have more than one shop housed in the same establishment.

I could not phrase that question any better. I gave it my all but my english teacher was a Kikuyu. :)

A question to you:
How do you define shopping center and shopping mall; in other words, what difference do you make between the two concepts?

Good question. :)

A shopping mall is many shops under one building e.g Westgate while a shopping centre is many shops in a small area e.g South B Shopping Centre
