Still on Kenya Airways: Our national flag carrier is scheduled to start direct flights to the United States of America starting from October 28, this year. The air distance from Nairobi to New York is 11,840 kilometres. Kenya Airways plans to use the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft which cruises at about 900km/h.

Therefore, the flight time will be 11,840/900 = 13 hours. Allowing one hour at each airport for taxiing, queuing etc, brings the total flight time to 15 hours.

So, if you have breakfast in New York at, say, 7am, then start off at 10am; what time will you get to Nairobi?

Kenya is among the top five global investment locations for Africa’s wealthy, according to the latest wealth report by global real estate consultancy, Knight Frank.

Nairobi is a great place to live, to be, to do business. In the next couple of years, it will see a dramatic change.

Nairobi is rapidly becoming Africa’s top city for high-rise construction. Current skyscraper construction there accounts for nearly 25% of all high-rises being built in Africa at the moment.

1) Chinese investor Zeyun Yang will construct eight 34-storey blocks, each housing 1,632 families, at Ngara estate just outside the Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD).https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.koassociates.co.ke/chinese-firm-lands-building-project-in-ngara/&ved=2ahUKEwi2jcmp8PvdAhULqxoKHaVGB8oQFjACegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw10mKy-HIpShDkBGIwVSb0tt

2) Cool Breeze Development Limited, owned by a group of Nairobi investors, is also making a foray into the city real estate market. The company last month unveiled plans to build five 14-floor apartment blocks off Mombasa Road in Nairobi in a bid to house 524 families.

3) International real estate development and investment firm Lordship Africa has broken ground on what will be the tallest private residential building in sub-Saharan Africa.

Christened 88 Nairobi Condominium, the ambitious Sh 5 billion residential apartment project will be built in Nairobi’s Upper Hill district.

Sitting on a two-acre piece of land on the corner of Bishop’s Road and 4th Ngong Avenue, the landmark residential development will have 44 floors.

4) Cytonn Towers is a proposed iconic Mixed-Use Development on a 4-acre parcel in Kilimani, located at the junction of Argwings Kodhek and Elgeyo-Marakwet Road, 10 minutes from Nairobi CBD.
The development will comprise 3, 35 floors towers, that will be 150 m high...

rvp2018:
Bad governance - would denote your political systems was corrupt or dictatorial compared to other countries in Sub-Sahara.

According to World Bank there are six indicators of governance which are Voice and Accountability (VA), Political Stability and Absence of Violence (PSAV), Government’s Effectiveness (GE), Rule of Law (RL), Regulatory Quality (RQ) and Control of Corruptions (CC).

Bad governance doesn't work for TZ. It explain why Nigeria is poor. It also could explain why Kenya is poor. TZ political elite is generally less corrupt & more democratic -"one party state".

TZ is plagued more by POOR LEADERSHIP THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY MADE BAD POLICIES AFTER ANOTHER. TZ leadership right from Nyerere have made plunder after plunders. Now Magufuli is continuing on that legacy.

Whilst kenya super-corrupt leaders care more about the bottom-line of the people (reducing poverty and increasing access to health, nutrition, housing, education and economic opportunities) majority of TZ leaders are given to grand-standing preaching useless rhetoric day (anti-colonialists,equality, communism, exploitation) in day out - something they learnt from Mwalimu Julius Nyerere an ideological demagogue like Kwame Nkrumah!. Ghanaians have to thank Jimmy Rawling from saving them the Tanzania curse - country where people just lazy around talking endlessly!!.

Nobody in TZ cares about facts such as nearly all of them cannot write a sentence in English after 12 years of education.

The 7% growth is happening mostly in mining sector. You can ask Nigeria how far that has taken them. It's not the broad-based economic growth that can lift people out of poverty.

Seems like TZ has taken the Nigerian way of manipulating and exaggerating the positives of the real statistical findings, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.africanews.com/2018/10/04/world-bank-could-suspend-funding-to-tanzania-over-new-statistics-law//&ved=2ahUKEwi-5Juo6uzdAhUBgRoKHWIXAIQQqOcBMCB6BAgGEAc&usg=AOvVaw3BQp5mLmWJg-jpitWOdWXI

In a bid to ease traffic to and from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and around Nairobi, and also decongest the city centre, the road is being converted into a major six-lane thoroughfare, complete with interchanges as well as service and bus lanes, among other features.

For the real estate sector, this means more profit as more investors, businesses and corporate meetings are bound to be directed to the area, calling for more developments in terms of both office blocks and residential apartments.
