# THE V-MART (VILLAGE MARKET) FACELIFT & REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT

“Dude, have you been to V-mart (the Village Market, Nairobi) of late?” my pal asked me the other day, “the fresh new look will blow you away!”
And true to his word, after significant renovations, the new-look Food Court is ready and it is safe to say that it is now the most talked about eating destination in Nairobi. The first phase of the redevelopment- an overhaul of the central Food court area- is nearing its completion.

The new look tastefully done Food Court now features new-tiles; Ferrari sails, new water features, new lighting, state-of-the-art sound system; infrared heaters, new furniture and a lounge atmosphere; better access and ramps for disabled customers, more plants and flowers among other state-of-the-art fittings.
“a number of high quality restaurants are coming to the Village Market,” says Managing Director, Hamed Ehsani, “and we found it necessary to ensure the food court rises to match these high standards.” To him, the renovations couldn’t have happened at a better time.












With V-Mart having clinched the 2011 Taste Awards for Best Food Court; it was an additional challenge for the shopping complex to do even better.
Indeed, the food court has remained vibrant with diners thronging the venue in massive numbers each day to experience the modernized setting with a plethora of international restaurants to choose from.

But the renovations doon’t just end at the food court. The second phase has also begun at the covered parking area. The intended improvements in this second phase include additional parking which has been an issue over the past years, an enhanced Nakumatt and new retail outlets above the current Nakumatt facility.








The Village Market is East Africa’s largest shopping and recreation complex with over 380,000 square feet of retail space, over 20 restaurants and the multi award winning Tribe Hotel. The one-of-a-kind open air shopping mall received a design award and ecognition by the International Council Of Shopping Centers, the authority on shopping malls globally.
Big things are coming to V-Mart. Watch this space!
