Eldoret’s First Green (EDGE) Building Unveiled!

Legacy Park, part of Imperial Court, has unveiled a five-storey green (edge) commercial wing that brings environmentally conscious development to the heart of Eldoret.

Located along Malaba Road/Uganda Road, at the corner of Waiganjo Street within Eldoret CBD, the property combines modern, beautifully appointed business spaces with systems designed to reduce energy consumption, conserve water and improve occupant comfort.

Described by its promoters as one of the few developments of its kind in the region, Legacy Park represents a shift from conventional commercial construction through its adoption of EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) standards. EDGE certification requires a development to achieve at least 20% savings in energy, water and embodied carbon in building materials compared to a local baseline, underscoring Legacy Park’s emphasis on resource efficiency and more sustainable commercial development.

The building is designed to conserve energy and water while providing thermal comfort to occupants through natural lighting and ventilation. Its large windows allow daylight to reach deep into the interior, reducing dependence on artificial lighting while creating brighter and more comfortable spaces for employees, customers and visitors.

Legacy Park also features adaptive lighting technology, which adjusts the amount of artificial light used depending on conditions within each space. When sufficient daylight is available, the system reduces unnecessary electricity consumption while maintaining appropriate visibility throughout the building.

Water management is another important part of the development. The green wing collects rainwater for reuse and incorporates a water-recycling system. These measures are intended to reduce demand for fresh water and ensure available resources are used efficiently.

Rainwater harvesting, natural lighting, ventilation and water-saving systems are widely recognised as practical features of environmentally responsible buildings. Together, these systems support Legacy Park’s goal of providing a more resource-efficient commercial environment.

Its location within Eldoret CBD, complemented by beautiful landscaping and ample parking, gives businesses convenient access to customers, suppliers, banks, public transport and other essential services.

Tenants can therefore enjoy a central business address while operating from premises developed with long-term environmental considerations in mind. The development also features peaceful breakout green spaces and water features, providing a more relaxed working environment within the city centre.

Legacy Park’s green commercial wing currently has business spaces available for lease. Businesses, organizations and professionals seeking modern, eco-friendly and conveniently located premises in Eldoret CBD can inquire about available units, rental terms and leasing arrangements.
