"This partnership signifies our dedication to supporting sustainable urban development," said Finsco Africa CEO John Mwaura.
Go Greenwood Bank LCC President Ray Glover highlighted the importance of investing in expanding communities across Africa.
"What is fascinating about this particular opportunity is that there are issues with minority communities across the globe. By using Kenya as a gateway to Africa, we aim to replicate the successful initiatives we have implemented in America," said Glover.
The project is facilitated by the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI).
Finsco Africa has previously collaborated with local lenders to finance its land and real estate ventures, including recent projects such as Bliss Water Park in Naivasha and the Thika Grove Chania development in Thika.
