Since its initiation in 2015, MMTC has received widespread admiration from a majority of both local and foreign visitors who have toured the project to witness the significant progress implemented across its project phases.

Unlike several similar high-end projects which have often been dogged with controversy in Kenya, MMTC has not experienced any major challenges which may stalled the project.

The project’s success has been attributed to its model of reaching out to locals within the project perimeter and establishing key contacts and relationships.

This has seen most of them donate huge tracts of ancestral land to the project to benefit them and MMTC.

MMTC is built with 100 per cent sustainable sources of energy including hundreds of solar-powered streetlights already brightening up freshly paved roads, as well as a 10 megawatt solar power plant that produces clean electricity for the city.

MMTC also contains a 36-hole golf resort with private residences along the golf course.
