The Village Market is located in the Gigiri residential area which is about 6 miles (9.7 km) from Nairobi city center on Limuru Road.

[1] The complex is designed to resemble an open-air African market, including waterfalls, rivers, plants and gardens.

Today the complex covers over 225,713 square feet (20,969.4 m2) of leasing space; three levels high, with more than 150 outlets, and was the first mall to introduce a food court to Kenya.

The current expansion will bring in over 70 new retail and service spaces and is expected to be complete in full by November 2016 to include a new three star business hotel with 215 rooms, a variety of conference areas and a pool.

There are over 150 retail shops selling local and designer wear, fashion, accessories and footwear items falling within the lifestyle and speciality categories.

The Village Market has an outdoor Food Court that offers a wide range of cuisines including traditional African fare.

The Village Market has handicap accessible restrooms, a Baby Room for nursing mothers and a prayer area reserved for visitors and shoppers.

Moreover, every Friday, the shopping center hosts the Maasai Market – a cultural bazaar that brings together around 400 artisans and craftsmen who specialize in an array of ethnic relics.

During weekends, and holidays, The Village Market invites musicians, violinists, pianists and regular professional music bands for entertainment.
