Africa Logistics Properties (ALP) Warehousing is a large-scale industrial development in Nairobi, designed to meet the growing demand for modern logistics infrastructure in East Africa. UGC was appointed from the early design stage to guide the project team in meeting EDGE Advanced certification targets. Through detailed simulation analysis and sustainability advisory, UGC supported the development of high-performance design strategies, including optimised envelope design, passive cooling, water efficiency, and low-carbon materials. The project represents a benchmark for sustainable industrial facilities in the region.
