The "Eye of Kenya" in Two Rivers Mall, the largest ferris wheel in Africa

The building is managed by Athena Properties Limited. It opened on 14 February 2017 to the public, with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta cutting the ribbon to symbolise the official opening of the mall on 17 February 2017. Its key shareholding was acquired by Chinese investors with the aim of tapping into Nairobi's growing international status as an aviation hub and a centre for commercial enterprise.[2][3] In 2022, the mall unveiled the largest cinema screen in East and Central Africa.[4] It also opened a ferris wheel in 2019 dubbed "The Eye of Kenya" which stands at 60 metres, making it the largest ferris wheel in Africa.[5]
