« Last post by RV Heavy Hitter! on December 13, 2025, 07:36:43 AM »Including all the five 5-star hotels being erected. KDF reports it will be complete by April 2026. It will be the largest conference facility on African soil! The largest so far is the Cape Town convention centre at 140,000 sqm. Bomas at 323,000 sqm will be almost triple that! Around 2029 and beyond, the Kenyan Gov with the new Infrastructure Fund in place, plans to enter the mortgage industry and make it easy for Kenyans to build single-family homes all over. High-speed internet, running water, sewers, and roads/driveways will accompany those homes and will be a requirement for every Kenyanto upgrade to living standards years down the line; if not, massive affordable houses will be there as an option! Kenya in 2033 and beyond will be simply lit with all the things in the pipeline!

The construction of the Bomas International Conference Centre (BICC), a landmark project valued at Ksh31.5 billion, is progressing under the supervision of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) through the Ministry of Defence. Launched in March 2025, the project is designed to position Kenya as a premier hub for global conferencing, cultural exchange, and economic growth.
Covering more than 323,500 square metres near Lang’ata–Magadi Road, the complex will feature an 11,000-seat convention centre, a 5,000-capacity main auditorium, a secondary 350-seat hall, and a 5,200-square-metre presidential chamber complete with VIP lounges and VVIP offices. A 3,000-seat banquet hall, meeting rooms, technical support zones, and a self-sustaining clinic are also included in the plans.
The ambitious design, integrates sustainable construction technologies such as solar power, rainwater harvesting, passive cooling, and low-energy glazing. Landscaping efforts will preserve existing trees and introduce new flora, blending modern infrastructure with environmental sustainability.
Future phases will expand the development with five-star hotels, residential blocks, a shopping mall, and cultural villages, all interconnected by pedestrian pathways and open public spaces.
Defence Principal Secretary Dr. Patrick Mariru chaired a high-level progress review meeting on the project, attended by senior government officials, KDF engineers, and the Bomas of Kenya Board. The involvement of the KDF’s Construction Engineering Brigade underscores the government’s commitment to timely delivery and high-quality construction standards. Once completed, the BICC will not only enhance Kenya’s standing as a regional conferencing destination but also create jobs, boost tourism, and provide lasting socio-economic benefits
