- Centum Investment Company PLC is a Kenya-based investment holding company that originates, develops, and manages a diversified portfolio of assets across East Africa. Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the company operates across four primary business segments: Real Estate, Private Equity, Marketable Securities, and Development Operations. Centum Investment Company PLC provides institutional and individual investors with exposure to private and public market assets, structuring its core products and services across specialized divisions: Real Estate Development, comprising large-scale mixed-use urban nodes, commercial office buildings, shopping malls, light industrial zones, and master-planned waterfront communities such as the Two Rivers development in Nairobi, the Vipingo Development in Kilifi, and Pearl Marina Estates in Uganda; Residential and Industrial Property Offerings, providing affordable housing units, premium apartments, townhouses, and serviced commercial and industrial land plots; Private Equity and Direct Investments, managing strategic equity stakes and capital deployment across high-growth sectors, including utilities and power generation through Akiira Geothermal, automotive distribution through Isuzu East Africa, and educational media through Longhorn Publishers; Liquid Asset Management, investing in diversified public equity portfolios, fixed-income sovereign bonds, and corporate debt instruments; and Shared Corporate Services, delivering centralized advisory, transaction management, accounting, tax, legal, and operational support solutions through its wholly owned subsidiary Centum Business Solutions. In recent company developments, Centum Investment Company PLC achieved a debt-free capital structure at the holding company level following the conclusion of a six-year balance sheet deleveraging initiative, alongside the completion of its open-market share buyback program. The company also executed key portfolio exits and divestments, finalizing the sale of its remaining 50% stake in Bakki Holdco Limited to complete its exit from Sidian Bank, and divesting a 60% equity stake in fund management subsidiary Nabo Capital. Within its property portfolio, Centum expanded the Two Rivers International Finance and Innovation Centre (TRIFIC) special economic zone, structuring an Income-Real Estate Investment Trust (I-REIT) capital raise for the North Tower asset and advancing plans for a 22-storey commercial office tower, while progressing residential deliveries such as the Cascadia Apartments and the IFC-backed Mzizi Court development. Additionally, the group implemented executive leadership adjustments with the appointment of Thomas Omondi-Achola as Acting Group Chief Executive Officer.
