They need one that stops wasting time.

A site can look affordable and still cost more every month if trucks struggle to move, stock is handled too many times or dispatch depends on workarounds.

At Nairobi Gate SEZ, occupiers have access to secure, customs-enabled space with room to hold, distribute and reconfigure stock before onward delivery, all in a highly secure environment.

Most warehouse problems are movement problems disguised as space problems.

The right warehouse should stop the daily leak of time, fuel and effort.

It looks convenient.

Then the real cost starts showing up in fuel, delays, extra handling and missed delivery windows.

At Nairobi Gate SEZ, operators are choosing more than space. They are choosing a logistics environment with customs capability, road access and room to move stock properly once it reaches Nairobi.

For importers, manufacturers, NGOs and FMCG operators, the mistake is choosing a warehouse before calculating the cost of slow movement.

Convenient is not the same as efficient.

Power. Water. Workarounds when systems fail. It adds up every month.

At Nairobi Gate, two mini-unit phases measuring approximately 237,000 sq ft have already achieved EDGE certification.

That translates into around 30% energy savings and 33% water savings, with more than 85% of the park targeted for green certification.

For an FMCG operator, manufacturer or distributor, that is not a sustainability story.
It is a monthly operating cost decision.

The park also combines this with:
• a 40-acre Customs Controlled Area
• proximity to the ICD and JKIA
• infrastructure designed for scale and continuity

For businesses operating across East and Southern Africa, positioning matters.

Lusaka sits about 2,500 km from Nairobi by road, linking into the Dar es Salaam corridor through Tanzania and connecting onward into Southern African markets.

It is not a single high-volume corridor. It is part of a wider network that allows goods to move between regions without returning to coastal ports.

York Commercial Park, on Kafue Road, offers mini-units, larger warehouse space, serviced land, wide roads, generous yards and 24-hour monitored access.

Upgrades along the Lusaka–Nakonde route are improving connectivity north into Tanzania, strengthening this inland link over time.

For operators serving multiple markets, that flexibility can reduce the need to duplicate stock across several locations and make regional coverage easier to manage.

How fast can trucks turn?
How does clearance work?
Can we scale here?
Will the site still work when volumes rise?

That is the level of discussion we see at Nairobi Gate.

The park was designed for ultra-modern logistics, warehousing and distribution, with speculative and bespoke options, good circulation, generous loading facilities and strong volumetric capacity for both scaling businesses and larger regional operators.

That includes existing units from 5,000 sq ft to 100,000 sq ft and build-to-suit facilities from 50,000 sq ft to 250,000 sq ft.

For many occupiers, the right answers here can reduce future relocation cost and improve operating stability from day one.

In Kenya, cargo moves from Mombasa to Nairobi via the SGR into the Inland Container Depot. From there, road networks connect distribution across East Africa.

Nairobi Gate SEZ sits about 20 minutes from the ICD, allowing goods to be received, cleared and redirected across multiple routes without moving through central Nairobi.

With access to JKIA and an integrated Customs Controlled Area, operators can manage port cargo, air freight and regional distribution in one location.

From Nairobi Gate, occupiers are approximately 30 minutes from JKIA, 20 minutes from Mombasa Road and 30 minutes from the Southern Bypass

For an importer, FMCG operator or 3PL, this can mean faster movement between clearance and first delivery point, with better control over stock once it is inland.

At Nairobi Gate, the Customs Controlled Area is backed by customs warehouses, gatehouses, weighbridges and a one-stop environment that includes KRA, KPA and other agencies.

The CCA spans 40 acres within the park, allowing cargo to move through one controlled environment instead of multiple separate handover points.

That matters because compliance is not only about documents. It is also about how goods enter, wait, clear and move out.

For a pharma importer, food distributor or NGO relief operator, site design can remove avoidable handling steps between arrival and dispatch.

If trucks cannot stage properly, turn efficiently or load without delay, the border is only one of several bottlenecks.

Nairobi Gate was designed for modern logistics operations, with stable power, adequate water storage, wide roads, generous parking and large yards.

The site provides a 50mVA bulk power connection, 6,500m³ of permanent water supply and yards of approximately 35m depth to support truck staging and circulation. It also includes customs gatehouses, weighbridges and customs warehouses.

For FMCG, agriculture, NGO and import-export operators, that can mean smoother truck flow, fewer site-level delays and better use of fleet time across the week.

Inland warehousing gives you control.

At Nairobi Gate, goods can move from the ICD into secure, customs-enabled space where occupiers can hold, distribute or reconfigure stock before onward delivery.

The park offers existing industrial space from 5,000 sq ft to 100,000 sq ft, build-to-suit options from 50,000 sq ft to 250,000 sq ft, and land from 5 acres, all within an approximately 100-acre logistics environment.

For an SMME importer, manufacturer or regional wholesaler, that flexibility can reduce the cost of moving stock twice and help avoid delays when demand shifts.

You feel it in storage charges.
You feel it in delayed deliveries.
You feel it when stock arrives inland later than planned.

That is where the right inland warehouse starts to matter.

Nairobi Gate is approximately 20 minutes from the Inland Container Depot, 30 minutes from JKIA and 5 minutes from Thika Road. Set on about 100 acres, it includes a 40-acre gazetted Customs Controlled Area with customs warehouses, gatehouses, weighbridges and a one-stop regulatory environment.

For an importer, NGO supply chain team or FMCG distributor, that can mean fewer handling steps and faster release into the market once goods are inland.
