"We would like to dispel this information and let the public, our tenants, and clients know that the information is false and does not represent the position of the management. The information should therefore be disregarded.

The multi-billion establishment sits on 13.8 acres of land and was opened in 2018. It has a man-made lake that covers 3.5 acres.
Muguku-died in 2010 at the age of 78, built a multi-billion-shilling business empire from humble beginnings as a poultry farmer based in Kikuyu on the outskirts of Nairobi.
At the time of his death, his estate was valued at approximately Ksh10 billion, mainly generated from Muguku Poultry Farm, a modern hatchery, and his stake at Equity Bank.
