Nasinu is an urban area on the islandViti Levu in Fiji. It is officially designated a "Town" despite having a population larger than Suva City. Nasinu is the most populous municipality in Fiji, having overtaken that of Suva, and is one of Fiji's fastest-growing towns. Its land area is the largest of any municipal area in Fiji, and more than twice that of Suva. It is a major residential hub in Fiji, housing a large majority of the work force in Nasinu itself and in the Fijian capital, Suva. The Nasinu property market has experienced significant growth over the last several years, leading to substantial increases in property value.
The Township of Nasinu is experiencing significant growth as a result of investments made by Indians who live in Fiji. The Town is located on Daniva Road and houses several companies, professional services and numerous shops. However, the lack of land in this area is stifling further development of Nasinu into a premier township of Fiji. It is also pushing commercial development to other areas within Nasinu and surrounding area. Some of the commercial complexes outside the main town area are as follows:
Rups Mega Centre
Vivrass Shopping Complex
Vinod Patel Shopping Complex
Hansons Shopping Complex
Manohan Shopping Complex
R B Patel Shopping Complex
