What happened to this mall?

Two rivers is suffering because of bbs mall in Eastleigh somalis aren't coming anymore and they used to spend huge money on two rivers and parking is more expensive than shopping

Two Rivers is an ecosystem ,the mall was designed to support its residents. If one is observant, they will notice a lot of residential development taking place within the facility. Due to some setbacks, the residential projects were delayed by about five years. However, in the next two years, all projects are expected to be completed, with nearly 10,000 people residing within the area. The houses are not cheap, except for the Mzizi project, which starts at around 5 million for a one-bedroom unit. So, who is going to live there? Was it really made for Ruaka residents? The two towers designated for office space are already fully occupied. If the developers led by the late Chris Kirubi ,were targeting the Ruaka market, they would have purchased more affordable land between Ruaka and Ndenderu for the mall, not where Two Rivers Mall is currently located.

Terrible location.

Two Rivers Mall had its peak, but lately it’s lost some of its spark, with key spots like the Hypermarket closing down. Meanwhile, malls like Sarit keep thriving and attracting crowds. It’s interesting to watch how competition and changing consumer habits shape these spaces.

To be honest, I was even at a friend's shop in village market. Businesses are struggling to stay afloat. Such ventures rely on impulse buying which majority of Kenyans now are hoarding money because it's not easy to get it. When people have disposable income is easy to spend.

The gate men there back in 2018 denied me entry with my bike wakasema ni park nje . Kawasaki 636 ni park nje ? 😂😂

Hizi malls zikijengwa wali overestimate some factors, most malls in Kenya are just huge blocks not business hubs, unapatanga ni ground floor tu inakaa vibrant kidogo then silence and emptiness increases with each floor adi kuna floor zingine unafika inakaa ghost town.

Most malls are pure money laundering ventures, so the owners do not even care whether they get profits from them or not..

Pool table ni 300 per game🤣🤣

Even Moses Kuria's gig to move the ministry's offices to that mall could not save its face.

How does one choose BBS mall over Two rivers. The hussle of dusty roads, crazy traffic no greenery. Eastleigh is a horrible place to visit

Everything has its own time.

Cause of bbs mall in Eastleigh

Somalis used to flock here every evening and weekends, convoy ya sienta 7 seater imejaa oria.

It's always empty. The only human traffic you're seeing there are going in coz of carrefour leave alone china square. There's very little disposable income to sustain such a huge mall.

I've always preferred Sarit coz it has lots of vibe and life. Hizo zingine ni concrete jungles

If this surprises you then you haven’t visited Lake Basin Mall in Kisumu….it is bad!

Sarit is the only Mall that has stood the test of time. Its always crowded asf

Al shabaab have their mall huko Easich

United Nations imeleta ofisi zao locally. Guess who the biggest winner will be? VM and Two Rivers

BBS Mall is now more popular than Two Rivers Mall it Wa overhyped na Wakina Chris Kirubi and CENTUM,the rent Also was too much without returns

2 Rivers is logistical and security platinum location for a foreseeable UN Agency community thats been said to come. It might seem to fail now, but by proximity to Gigiri, this will be a walled in mini city shortly.

Times change

No disposable income na hii economy ya “Kasonge. Have you seen how many empty shops that are at Malls i.e Imaara Mall & the likes?

90% of people commenting about that mall has never purchased neither visited it. Tuache ufala, the loyal customers have kept the mall busy for years si nyinyi watu wa selfie

Now imagine kaongos businesses suffering the same fate in a few years. Can’t wait.

Huge spenders used to be woria lakini tangu wajengewe Yao bbs mall uko ndio wanajaaa

Malls are just conduits for money laundering. Traffic is only available on weekends. For the rest of the days, most businesses make minimal sales. It doesn't make any economic sense.

Most clients were Somalis from Eastleigh but now they have BBS Mall

Went the Nakumart way,off

Kiburi iliingia baada ya kirubi kudedi

Huyu boy anajua. The Mall started by targeting a certain class of people. For instance, Why would a shopping center lock you out because you don't have an I.D or because you arrived on a bodaboda? It's business. Others will take the money from the customers you don't want.

Hii mall ni ya late kirubi i guess. Sometime the vision holder akigo inakuwanga finished business.

The hub and waterfront also has low footprint. Kenyans are broke

How can you say a mall is dying at 89% occupancy? Thats over 120 tenants There might be faults but BBS is not a threat to this mall. Proximity science dont add up.
