Nice to admit you have one.. The 25 that are coming up what are there height and number of floors?

Just type Rainbow Town Port Harcourt project pictures and there you go.

Nine - 15-storey and Sixteen 12-storey.

All already topped out.

U too wicked

Hahahahahah!

You sabi koko

Hehehehe! You dey try, no bi small.

KarmaKill:
How are my lies exposed? How is you saying "Nairobi has only 6 skyscrapers" whilst I've listed 8 complete, 1 topped out and 9 under construction proving I'm lying? I gave you a list of 8 complete buildings over 100m in Nairobi - are the buildings I listed non existent? Please out of the 8 complete ones, one topped out and 9 under construction explain which one is imaginary.

Because the other two are below 100m.

From 10, it has reduced to 9. Now, remove KCB and LéMac and you will have 7(plus the one topped out). Comprehend!? those are the imaginary ones.

Give me the evidence to show that all the 8 are underconstruction else I will term it another lie.

Jay254:
Thanks

No worries.

TayserMahiri:
Even some universities in kenya have higher buildings than PH

Tell me you are just joking but I am not in anyway equating Nairobi with Port Harcourt ooooooo.

Jay254:
Don't even mention PH, it was slaughtered by Mombasa

How many highrise do you have in Mombasa?

I have the answer. Only 11 and 2 underconstruction.

While Port Harcourt has 25 highrises underconstruction with 1 on ground.

Hbuyosh:
U are right , there arr dozens of construction projects going on in Nairobi, the grandest ones in the Upperhill District, but l assure u, that that is the Hass Tower whose foundation is under excavation there. U dont believe it, use the Reverse Search to confirm.

I hear you. Hass Tower 1 or 2?

vaxx:
pls be realistic nairobi has more higher height with more floors than lagos ,abuja and accra. only abidjan with 30 floors can be compared. nairobi still stand out with 200meter of height

Where is your source?

Nairobi has two with 30 floors completed and two underconstruction while Lagos has two with 30 floors completed and 2 underconstruction.

Nairobi has 18 buildings with 20 floors above(plus the ones mentioned above) while Lagos also has 18 buildings with 20 floors above.

How dem take pass Lagos?

TayserMahiri:
Even some universities in kenya have higher buildings than PH

Clean your mouth... You cleaned the lies.

kikuyu1:
No lie!

Bhuuuhahaha!

What does Sabi mean?

In ten years' time!And he expects other countries to fold their arms in the meantime.That one is already embracing reality but trust me,their tenacious class captain will soon be back with more data pulled out of his ar$e.He is one persistent little fellow,reminds me of a rottweiler I once had.

Don't mind the guy. I know you are referring to NairobiWalker, he such an amazing fellow.

TayserMahiri:
And getting smacked

For where, we dey kampe.

Jay254:
Imagine a city of 21M people TRYING HARD to compete with acity of 3.5M people.

Hahahahahah! Na you sabi.

KarmaKill:
Pan Africa Insurance Tower.

Ok. Thanks

TayserMahiri:
@ Forgiveness,

I think the way things are progressing, Nigerians will just remove the goalpost altogether.

With the goalpost still standing firmly where it was at the beginning, Lagos has more skyscrapers completed than the whole of Kenya.

Corporate Tower 2 - 180 - 210m y(under construction) pictures .

vaxx:
using nairobi standard. i will agree nigeria and ghana has no skyscraper except abidjan

Nairobi standard indeed.

Hbuyosh:
So, Aresa and Fanni Kayode, do u guys still believe that Nigeria is better than Kenya in all aspects?

Of course, in many aspects save one or two.

vaxx:
pls you have bombard that guy with enough evidence. It is ok.

Where is the evidence? Because I can't see any.

KarmaKill:
I see you're avoiding my posts after I gave you all the facts. You Nigerian guys have a bad belief that you're the top in everything hence you never bother to look at the facts. We once did a list of cities with the highest towers over 20 floors in Africa on skyscrapercity and Lagos was nowhere. I can bet you Lagos will be lucky to be half of Nairobi in terms of high-rises too. Port Harcourt I doubt if there is a single high-rise in that city. Just like you're shocked with skyscrapers, towers over 100m so will you be with high-rises.

Avoid which facts? You have never presented me facts.
All you have been doing is making fallacious statements but I gave you facts. Everyone here can attest to it.

Highrise is from 12 floors above or 35m.

Don't misinform the public.

Port Harcourt has 40 highrise though 25 are still under construction.

Lagos has more skyscrapers completed than the whole of Kenya.

How do I know it is Hass? There are many projects that we can assume is this.

Unfortunately Kenya is still building taller than Nigeria. Your tallest under construction is 135m. We have 320m (almost 3 times yours) 201m, 183m, 180m, two 160m, 150m, 141m just to name a few.

Unfortunately, CTBU doesn't count 'PROPOSED' and UNDERCONSTRUCTION' structures.

The CTBUH insist that a building should only be added to the official tallest list when it is (i) topped out structurally and architecturally, (ii) fully clad, and (iii) open for business, or at least partially open. This became the CTBUH official definition of a building’s "completion".

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CTBUH

Point of correction the tallest building underconstruction is Corporate Tower 2 - 200m - 210m

And Abuja World Trade Center Tower 38-45 floors, 158m.

There is another one but...

KarmaKill:
Lagos has 7 towers over 100m. CBN Tower is 95m high. Stop lying.

You eyes don dey clear small small. The early the better.

Now that you have confirmed that we have 8 completed skyscrapers, I will proceed to the next one.

Yes! You are right. CBN Abuja is 95m. Bhuuuhahaha!

While CBN Lagos is 100m. Bhuuuhahaha!

Does that solve it.

TayserMahiri:
By then you will have migrated to Nairobi

Bhuuuhahaha! Lol.

Since, my job is about moving, it could be possible.

vaxx:
To settle the pussle. Accra ,lagos ,abuja and nairobi all has skyscrapers. Wikipedia source.skyscraper is a tall, continuously habitable building. There is no official definition or a precise cutoff height above which a building may clearly be classified as a skyscraper. However, as per usual practice in most cities, the definition is used empirically, depending on the relative impact of the shape of a building to a city's overall skyline. Thus, depending on the average height of the rest of the buildings and/ or structures in a city, even a building of 80 meters height (approximately 262 ft) may be considered a skyscraper provided that it clearly stands out above its surrounding built environment and significantly changes the overall skyline of thatparticular city. The word "skyscraper" originally was a nautical term referring to a tallmast or its main sail on a sailing ship. The term was first applied to buildings in the late 19th century as a result of public amazement at the tall buildings being built in Chicago and New York City. The traditional definition of a skyscraper began with the "first skyscraper", asteel-framed ten storey building. Chicago's now demolished ten storey steel-framed Home Insurance Building (1885) is generally accepted as the "first skyscraper". The word skyscraper often carries a connotation of prideand achievement. The skyscraper, in name and social function, is a modern expression of the age-old symbol of the world center or axis mundi: a pillar that connects earth to heaven and the four compass directions to one another.Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyscrap

Hahahahahah!

TayserMahiri:
Man, you never give up. Give it up already. I know you went online for some few minutes to search for other skyscraper merits before you came back with this your old self.

You should consider this debate on skyscrapers with kenyans a worthwhile opportunity while it lasts. In ten years time, it will be embarrassing. I am sure even S.A at that time will not be in the moods for this discussion.

Nairobi will have leapfrogged all perceived giants

Give up speaking the truth!?

Let us wait and see after ten years.

1. Call them towers with over 100m height not skyscrapers. A skyscraper has over 200m in height and currently Africa has only two. One in Jo'burg and the other in Nairobi.


2. Nairobi has 8 complete 1 topped out with 9 under construction.

Complete

1. Britam Tower (200m)
2. UAP Tower (163m)
3. Times Tower (140m)
4[b]. LéMac (126m)[/b]
5. Teleposta Tower (120m)
6. KICC (105m)
7. NSSF building/Social Security House (104m)
8[b]. KCB Tower (100m)[/b]

Topped Out
1. Prism Tower (133m)


Under Construction
1. Hass Tower 1 (320m)
2. Hass Tower 2 (201m)
3. Avic Office Tower (183m)
4. Hazina Trade Center (180m)
5. Montave Tower 1 (160m)
6. Montave Tower 2 (160m)
7. One Africa Tower (150m)
8. Avic Hotel Tower (141m)
9. Upper Hill Chambers (104m)


Construction of CBK Pension Tower has also began and it's poised to be over 50m

Total Nairobi (Complete, T/O and U/C) = 18

Nairobi is uncatchable.

1, This article ranks skyscrapers on the African continent by height. Initially, only a small number of major financial and commercial centers boasted large skylines, such as Lagos, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Harare and Abidjan. However, since the 2000s, skyscrapers have been constructed in many other African cities, including Cairo, Maputo, Abuja, Kampala, Cape Town, Durban, Addis Ababa, Dar es Salaam, Luanda and Port Louis.

Since 1973, the tallest skyscraper in Africa has been Johannesburg's Carlton Centre, which stands 223 metres (732 ft) tall. However, several taller buildings are proposed.


This list ranks African buildings that stand at least 100 m (328 ft) tall, based on standard height measurements by CTBUH. This includes spires and architectural details, but does not include antenna masts and minarets. Buildings over 150 m (492 ft) tall are highlighted.


Suffry Suffry lie.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Africa

2, @bolded have been found wanting. LéMac Tower is 90m while KCB tower is 99m.
Snapshots confirmed I am correct.


3, As you can see from the snapshots, the blue color placed because confirmed they are still proposed projects. Bhuuuhahaha!

KarmaKill:
1. A skyscraper is a building over 200m. Deal with it

2. Nairobi has 2 complete towers over 150m (UAP (163m) and Britam(200m) and 7 under construction (Hass 1 (320m), Hass 2 (201m), Avic Office Tower (183m), Hazina Trade Center (180m), Montave A (160m), Montave B (160m). Dude, you're playing a losing game. Which way you shift your goal posts to you get beaten. Only Johannesburg and Luanda are in Nairobi's league in terms of tall buildings. Dar es Salaam maybe is trying.

3. New York city might not be number 1 in terms of high-rises but at least you got my point. I hope you now understand how absurd you sound with your claims that Eko Atlantic will have 2000 skyscrapers.

1, we are not in stone age when people swallow lies without giving credible source. It is an era we can verify every single statement by pushing a key on phone. At a click your lies are exposed.

Sorry, the snapshot proved you just lied. A discerning mind can tell.

2, All the long list of these 'PROPOSED' buildings can't disapprove, Lagos has 8 completed skyscrapers while Kenya has 6 skyscrapers completed as Africa’s parameter is concerned.

3, Eko Atlantic City could have 1,200 skyscrapers if they are made real at minimum height of 100m. Sorry, your proparganda can't sell.

vaxx:
When i was telling you guys about skyscraper every nigerians here was setting their own benchmark. Now it is like nairobi skyscraper is taking the trail and nigerias are finding it hard to argue.

The benchmark for continent or country varies.

For America and Europe it is 150 m minimum height. It has never been 200 m. If you want to know the truth Google it.

For Africa it is 100 m for the minimum height of a skyscraper.

obaaderemi:
I hope that guy doesn't take a leap off one of his skyscrapers in nairobi the way you keep frustrating him.He has been fighting this skyscraper sh!t since last year.The same guy who listed 99m buildings as skyscrapers suddenly realizes the yardstick should be 200m.He is a frigging eel.

Hahahahahah! No mind the guy. He discovered Lagos has skyscrapers completed than the whole Kenya.

200m is never the universal accepted parameter to define a skyscraper. No nation or continent ever used 200 m as minimum height of a skyscraper.

Jay254:
was almost sharing this... Nairobi accounts for aquarter of high rise in Africa

If talk about Highrise, you will be slaughter by the numbers of highrise springing up left right and center in Nigeria, especially Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
