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.

Saudia Arabia’s Aljazeera Group invests in Tatu City’s Jabali Tower development
Mabani Aljazeera Holding Group, a leading private Saudi Arabian construction and investment company, will invest in Jabali Towers, the premier mixed-use development located at the heart of Tatu City Special Economic Zone (SEZ). The equity investment by Mabani – through its subsidiary, Swan Properties – marks a major milestone for East Africa, representing a significant vote of confidence by a major Saudi investor and highlighting Tatu City SEZ’s record attraction of foreign direct investment to Kenya. Swan Properties will receive 50% minus one share for its investment in the Jabali Towers development company, with Rendeavour, Tatu City’s owner and developer, as the majority shareholder.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Stephen Jennings, Founder and CEO of Rendeavour, said: “Mabani Aljazeera Holding Group and Swan Properties’ investment in Tatu City and Kenya is underpinned by Rendeavour’s 20-year track record of delivering on its promises in Africa. Every year, Tatu City attracts more than half of all foreign direct investment in Kenya. We are engaging with numerous Saudi investors ready to invest in Kenya and are delighted that Swan Properties is the pioneer.”
“Mabani Aljazeera Holding Group and Swan Properties are delighted to invest in the landmark Jabali Towers development at Tatu City,” said Abdullah AlMalki, Chairman of Mabani Group. “A combination of our skills, construction materials and capital will make Jabali Towers the preeminent real estate development in Africa.”
The joint venture was lauded by the Saudi Export Import Bank, which aims to promote the development and diversification of Saudi exports and increase their ability to compete in global markets.
