We are Rendeavour
Africa’s Urban Future
We are Africa’s new city builder. Our seven cities accelerate business and raise living standards across Sub-Saharan Africa.
As Africa’s gold-standard new city builder, Rendeavour is transforming over 12,000 hectares (30,000 acres) across the continent into vibrant, sustainable urban environments that solve infrastructure challenges, foster investment, create jobs and drive socioeconomic development.
Africa’s cities suffer from decades of poor planning and controls, choking congestion and overwhelmed infrastructure and utilities. With rapid urbanisation and strong economic growth, the situation is deteriorating.
In the terminology of the World Bank, Africa’s cities are suffering from negative agglomeration economies – as they grow, they are becoming less efficient. Poor municipal governance means it will be decades before Africa’s cities begin to become more efficient and more liveable.
Rendeavour’s cities solve these challenges by providing world-class urban design, infrastructure, amenities, and controls, all tailored to local market requirement and aspirations. Rendeavour also offers strong global linkages, facilitating large-scale foreign investment and valuable skills and technology transfers.

Our Cities
Rendeavour’s cities are redefining urban development in Africa with a groundbreaking approach to city building. Unlike traditional cities that struggle with retrofitting, our cities are designed from a clean slate, creating efficient, 15-minute cities where work, home and play are within a short walk or drive.
Rendeavour cities offer a vibrant, connected lifestyle with housing, workplaces, parks, cafes and amenities all within reach, fostering communities where residents and businesses thrive. Our ‘live-work-play’ approach provides opportunities for global and local companies to enter new markets with minimised risk, attracting industries from software development and manufacturing to business process outsourcing.
At the heart of these developments is the ‘Rendeavour Standard,’ our commitment to quality assurance that combines world-class construction, people-focused design and strong urban governance. With projects spanning five countries and timelines of 30-50 years, Rendeavour is invested in building the cities of tomorrow—dynamic, safe and sustainable hubs that capitalise on Africa’s growing economic potential.

Gareth Parker-Jones named Head of Education, Rendeavour, and Founding Master of Wellington College International Kenya in Tatu City
One of the UK’s leading educators, Parker-Jones, will join Wellington Kenya as Founding Master a year ahead of the school’s official opening, in September 2028. He will be joined by his wife, Amanda Parker-Jones, who has been appointed Head of Teacher Development for the school.
Developed by Rendeavour, Africa’s new city builder, in partnership with Wellington College, Wellington Kenya is the second school in the Wellington College Education family in Africa, alongside Rendeavour’s Wellington College International Lagos, and part of a wider network of 12 super premium British schools spanning the UK, China, Thailand, India, Indonesia and the United States.
Located in Tatu City, Africa’s leading new city, Wellington Kenya is a co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 3 to 18, attracting families locally, regionally and globally. With access to Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes, bountiful wildlife, rich cultural diversity, temperate weather and remarkable athletic excellence, Wellington Kenya is set within Tatu City’s 5,000 acres of lush parks, running and equestrian trails, legendary coffee estates, indigenous trees, lakes and rivers.
Regarding his appointment, Gareth Parker-Jones said, “Wellington College International Kenya delivers a genuinely world-class education in arguably the most beautiful environment on Earth, carrying the full weight of the Wellington name. Backed by the scale, expertise and ambition of Rendeavour, Wellington Kenya is a great success story in international education, and I could not be prouder to lead it as Head of Education, Rendeavour, and Founding Master.”
The appointment of Parker-Jones, who has a strong background in boarding, signals the scale of ambition of Wellington Kenya. Alongside its day school provision, boarding will be an important part of Wellington Kenya’s identity, character, community and pastoral offer from day one. This will give families the flexibility of both day and boarding options, while ensuring that the boarding experience is delivered to the same exacting standard as Wellington College Education family of schools around the world.
