He says the Club resonates with the new lifestyle for Kenyans who are now seeking an exclusive leisure experience and a private members’ club for the whole family.
“The club provides a one-stop shop for families looking to engage in different activities be it swimming, wining and dining and even business,” he explained.
The club which is a Sh2 billion investment, situated in a 10 acres piece of land has a sporting ground carpeted with artificial grass, has carpeted children’s’ play area with swings and slides.
The club also has fine dining restaurant, a rooftop bar and several eateries, a Spa and what Reda termed as “Kenya’s most sophisticated Gym.”
“We have partnered with sports academies to help children develop their talents into professional careers, children can be enrolled in the Arsenal Soccer School while those who want to be athletes will be trained by former marathon champion Douglas Wakihuri,” he added.
