The completion of the Moi University Pension Scheme Plaza in Eldoret has served as a spectacular change to the Eldoret skyline. Ownership of the 26-storey tower is by the university’s staff pension scheme.
The building was completed in 2016 by EPCO Builders Ltd. Moreover, the development’s location is along Uganda Road, right next to Imperial bank. Upon completion, the twin tower provided a total of 50,000 square meters of space. Thereafter, 30,000 square meters were sold to the public.
While commenting on the project, its Chairman said that the decision to sell some space is so that the monetary gain would benefit members of the scheme upon retirement. Prof Cheptuk Rotuch also added that the twin towers serve as a one-stop complex for all kinds of offices and businesses.
