Grove Industrial Park Vipingo: Warehouses and Industrial Plots on Kenya’s North Coast

Grove Industrial Park is a 125-acre master-planned industrial destination in Vipingo, Kilifi County — developed by Purple Dot International Ltd as a purpose-built home for logistics, manufacturing, assembly, and cold storage operations at the Coast. It sits just off the Mombasa–Malindi Highway, within a broader corridor that’s rapidly becoming one of Kenya’s most active zones for coastal industrial and commercial growth.

For businesses that need genuine infrastructure — reliable power, a dependable water supply, proper road access for heavy trucks, and serious security — rather than a plot of land and a promise, Grove offers a fully serviced platform to build from, whether that’s a ready standard warehouse or a custom facility built to your own specification.

A Development Designed for Industrial Growth

Grove is built around a simple idea: give industrial and logistics businesses the infrastructure they actually need to operate reliably, in a location that’s only going to get more strategically important. Every element of the park — concrete roads built for heavy trucks, a dedicated power substation, desalinated water with high-capacity storage, and comprehensive sewage provision — is designed around operational continuity, not just appearances.

Two ways to occupy space are available. Standard warehouse units offer a ready, fully specified footprint for businesses that want to move in without a lengthy build process. For businesses with more specific requirements, the Build-to-Suit option allows a custom facility to be designed and constructed on a plot of 5 acres or more, tailored to your exact operational needs.

Location Advantage

Grove sits within Vipingo, Kilifi County, just 500 metres from the Mombasa–Malindi Highway — placing it inside one of Kenya’s fastest-developing coastal corridors. From the park, it’s roughly 5 minutes to Vipingo Ridge and Vipingo Airstrip, 40 minutes to Mombasa’s CBD, 45 minutes to Mombasa Port, and around 50 minutes to the Standard Gauge Railway terminus.

Vipingo itself sits within a much larger master-planned development corridor spanning over 10,000 acres, where residential, tourism, and commercial growth is steadily building demand for serviced industrial space nearby. Positioned between Mombasa and Kilifi, with direct highway access to the port, airport, and rail links, Grove offers genuinely practical logistics advantages for businesses importing, exporting, or distributing along the North Coast — not just proximity on a map, but real, usable connectivity.

Payment Plan

Standard warehouse purchase is priced at KES 18.8M plus VAT, with the following indicative additional costs:

• Stamp duty: 4% of the purchase price or government valuation, whichever is higher (payable on completion)
• Legal fees: 1% of the final sale price plus VAT, payable to the developer’s lawyers on signing the sale agreement (separate from any fees payable to your own lawyer)
• Other costs: formation of a management company, purchase of a share in the management company, apportioned costs, and a management reserve fund
• Monthly service charge: KES 15,000
• Service charge deposit: KES 100,000

Standard warehouse leasing is available at KES 23 per sq ft per month (excluding VAT and service charge), plus a service charge of KES 15,000 per warehouse per month. Leasing costs carry an annual 5% increment, and electricity and water are billed separately.

Build-to-Suit land purchase is priced at KES 10M per acre, with a 5-acre minimum, plus:

• Legal fees: 1% of the final sale price plus VAT

Why It Works for Occupiers

• A fully serviced park means businesses can move in and operate without first having to solve for power, water, roads, or security themselves
• Warehouse dimensions and 5-metre entry doors are sized for genuine loading and unloading efficiency, not just storage
• Three levels of on-site office space per standard warehouse unit mean administrative functions can sit alongside operations, rather than off-site
• The Build-to-Suit option gives larger or more specialised operators (cold storage, assembly, manufacturing) the ability to design a facility around their actual workflow
• Direct highway access to the port, airport, and SGR shortens the last mile for import, export, and distribution operations

Why It Works for Investors

• Vipingo sits within a substantial, established master-planned corridor, with residential, tourism, and commercial development already under way nearby
• Fully serviced infrastructure (power, water, security, roads) reduces the operational burden typically associated with industrial land at the Coast
• A dual offering — ready standard warehouses and flexible build-to-suit plots — broadens the pool of prospective occupiers and future buyers
• Direct connectivity to Mombasa Port, Vipingo Airstrip, and the SGR reflects genuinely durable locational fundamentals for logistics and trade-linked businesses

Block does not provide rental yield, occupancy, or appreciation projections. We encourage investors to request current pricing and independently assess demand fundamentals before committing.

Finishes and Specifications

Each standard warehouse unit is arranged over four levels: a ground floor comprising warehouse space (540 sqm), reception, guest washroom, ladies’ and gents’ facilities, and the main entry; a mezzanine level (60 sqm); a first floor office level (90 sqm) with its own kitchen and washroom; and a roof level. The warehouse floor itself offers a clear height of 12 metres with an 8-metre wall height, and entry doors sized at 5 metres for efficient vehicle loading.

Construction throughout the park uses concrete roading designed for heavy truck traffic, with a dedicated power substation and desalinated water supply serving all units.

Full interior specification details, including any variation between phases, are to be confirmed at point of enquiry.
