HQ Kenya House, an exclusive international members-only club and cultural hub, officially opened its doors at Tatu City, marking a significant milestone for Kenya’s creative and business communities. The highly anticipated launch event, “The Premiere,” was an evening of creativity, connection, and cultural excellence, hosted by award-winning actor and poet Omari Hardwick.
With its mission to unite Kenya and Africa’s most dynamic business leaders, creatives, and innovators, HQ Kenya House aims to become a pioneering space for collaboration, networking, and cultural exchange on a global scale.
Located in Tatu City, a 5,000-acre urban development on the outskirts of Nairobi, HQ Kenya House is designed to be more than just an elite club. It embodies a movement to foster global collaboration while celebrating African heritage and innovation.
John Burns, owner of HQ Kenya House and its sister club in Washington, DC, emphasized the club’s broader mission:
“HQ Kenya House is not just a space; it is a movement. It is a testament to the power of culture, the strength of global connectivity, and the idea that our greatest work is done when we come together. We built HQ DC House with this vision, and now, with HQ Kenya House, we are taking that vision international.”
The Washington, DC-based HQ House has already established itself as a key venue for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and creatives in the U.S. capital. Now, its expansion into Kenya is set to bridge African and global networks, creating a platform where ideas, art, and business intersect.
Omari Hardwick, best known for his role as James “Ghost” St. Patrick in the hit TV series Power, is not only an actor but also a Grammy-nominated poet. Speaking at the launch event, he highlighted the global significance of Africa’s creative and business potential:
“HQ Kenya House is a bridge from America to Africa, where like-minded people create together. The world is watching Africa, and this is our time—our time to create, to collaborate, and to define the future on our own terms.”
The club’s exclusive membership model is designed for high-level professionals, creatives, and entrepreneurs who want to engage in a global community of innovators. Some of its defining features include:
