The project is financed from the university's internal funds and donations.
The facility will house banks, exhibition halls, food outlets and venues for lectures.
The provisional budget for the project has been set at Sh4 billion.
The office block adopts green architecture.
Donald Trump, who has golf resorts around the world, is among 43 other interested parties.
The project is being developed in two phases at a cost of Sh1.07 billion.
The park will cover over 1.5 million square feet initially, and consist of four zones.
