Before the dust settles on news of the ongoing construction of Africa’s tallest building in Upper Hill, Nairobi, something is happening at the Kenyan coast. A new skyscraper proposed for Watamu in Malindi threatens to unseat The Pinnacle even before its completion.

Standing 61 stories high, the Palm Exotjca, the designers say the building will be the tallest tower in all of Kenya and by extension, Africa. At an overtowering height of 370m high, the tower is set to be the ultimate mark of the coastal skyline, adding to the coastal towns increasing clout as a luxury tourism hub.

Nairobi has grown into the largest shopping centre in Sub-Saharan Africa outside of South Africa with 6.5m square feet of retail space. The city accumulated more than 4.5m square feet over an 8-year period growing from 2m sqft in 2010 to 6.5m sqft in 2018 and is projected to reach 7.8m sqft by 2020.

According to Knight Frank Shop Africa report for 2018, growth in retail space has proceeded at a compounded annual growth rate of 15.9% over the past eight years. Growth in the city’s population and a growing middle class who are increasingly shopping in malls has raised the demand for retail space.

The developers have been encouraged by the city’s improving infrastructure and changing lifestyles as more Kenyans gain access to disposable incomes. A wealth report released yesterday by global wealth monitoring group Wealth-X ranked Kenya as one of the top 10 countries with the fastest growth in the number of ultra-high net worth individuals, a reflection of the changing income dynamics in the Kenyan populace.

how about posting pictures of other parts of the "great Nairobi Metro, aside Nairobi county (CBD)? why posting only 1% the so called Greater Nairobi metro AND leaving the 99% other places out?

In the last five years, Ngong(Kajiado County) has undergone a rapid transformation, with the construction of commercial buildings like the multi-billion Milele Mall, the Ngong Business Arcade, supermarkets and residential flats.More commercial and residential buildings are also coming up as investors seek to benefit from the town’s growth. Milele Mall, owned by the PCEA, was the first mall in the town. The two-storey complex houses Tuskys Supermarket as well as well-known brands like Diamond Trust Bank, Bata, Chicken Inn, Creamy Inn and AAR.

Opposite the landmark mall is the Ngong Business Arcade, a multi-million, three-storey commercial building. Besides these two, three other commercial buildings are also coming up.

Financial institutions have not been left behind, with the town being served by more than 10 banks

Nigga show us other parts of Nairobi aside CBD and close by Upper hill and please stop recycling pictures over and over again ....

Had you bought a house in Athi River(Machakos County) three years ago, the cost would have been about Sh3.9 million. Now, it will cost you a staggering Sh18.4 million.

The latter is the current cost for a four-bedroom bungalow sitting on a quarter-acre piece of land. It's a depiction of how things have changed for the town that is in Machakos County.

If the bungalow does not suit your taste, then you can opt for the super bungalow, which will set you back Sh22.6 million. Not long ago, Athi River was just but a rocky plain thatched with shrubs and thorny acacia trees. Occasionally, one would spot a zebra or two grazing.

Kindly, (You and fellow Kenyans Taysermahiri, Gallivanting, mtis, Yobeezy, rvp2018 et al) desist from responding to this workwork dimwit. He'll burn out naturally if starved of the attention he's seeking.

That's it

Wishful thinking, that's Zambia part of Africa tho'... Kenya is a growing economy, not stale like that of Nigeria

Kazikazi:
The chinese will takeover ur ports.the debt u have is unmanagable.remember srilanka?

Five Nigerians arrested for being in Kenya illegally


NAIROBI, Kenya, Sept 2 – Five Nigerian nationals were on Saturday night arrested in a house in Lucky Summer area for being the in the country illegally.

According to police, the men were nabbed following a complaint from locals that they were engaged in illegal activities.

They said that they are likely to be deported after being charged in court.

This increases to more than 200 the number of the foreigners who have so far been arrested and deported for being in the country illegally.

Twenty-eight immigration officers were sacked after they were found to have wrongly issued the work permits to the foreigners.

The arrests come even as South Sudanese Nationals who had been detained for lack of proper documentation finding freedom following an agreement between Kenya and Sudan.

Foreign Affairs Ministry said they have agreed with the Sudan Embassy on a solution that will ensure their release.

The government has expressed its commitment to deport all illegal immigrants who have no papers.

The war on illegal immigrants gained momentum after a hotline mobile telephone number(Hotline for reporting Illegal Immigrants in the country;
0745-660-151) was set up for members of the public to report suspicious foreigners.

Also,September 5, 2018. Police raided China Global Television Network offices in Nairobi on Wednesday in search of immigrants working in the country illegally.

The Inspector-General of Police Joseph Boinnet told Nation that his team made the raid after his office got information that some staff members at the TV station did not have valid work permits.

The IG said 13 Chinese nationals were arrested and immediately released after their work documents were verified.

The Chinese Embassy issued a statement condemning the arrest of their citizens by Kenya police.

Ahn Ahn, come of it my man, Africa is a shithole, and Kenya, Sudan, and Somalia are to be blamed for the poverty, hunger stereotype of Africa, from the late twentieth century down to the early/ mid 2000's. Even today, whenever I'm in Eastern Germany, l keep seeing pictures of poor African/ mostly Kenyan children on the street whom the Germans say need food and then the citizens continually donate to these agencies. Most of the donations were to East Africa and Kenya included.
Africa is known today as a backward place full of jungles and starving kids, and Kenya has contributed largely to this stigma, this is small in comparison to so called folks dying on the Libyan sea.
There's nothing special about what Kenya is doing, Nairobi as Headquarters for Global multinationals and what has this benefited you and the Kenyan people? Kenya is still a shithole, and your FDI has been nothing special nor does it rank top in Africa, perhaps they come to clean up the Kibera slums, the largest in Africa despite your small land mass.
For innovations, what are the Kenyan innovations? where are your top brands/ investments over the continent??
Kenya is also damn corrupt as Nigeria even without resources like oil, with the Kenyata's looting you dry. Don't hide your problems here, we know them. Africa is a shithole with a combined GDP not up to that of France's and lndia. Kenya having only 171 Billion dollars as GDP/ PPP.
Face it, 99% of Africa is shithole and not doing well as they should.

Checking where Kenya has come from since the beginning of this millennium, unlike Nigeria, Kenya has made a commendable strides in improving it's citizens living standards...from GDP of $14B in yr2000 to $88B yr2018...from GDP per capita of $400 in yr2000 to $1,837 yr2018...from a life expectancy of 51yrs in yr2000 to 64/68 yr2018...from electricity connectivity of 34% to almost 80%, infant mortality reduced from 74 to 37/1,000, insfrustructure wise has also made a very good progress...

TayserMahiri:
Africans congregating in China to hear what help they can get. Hopefully one day Africans will use the rational parts of their brains and rise above this mentality. On this one I cant even stand with my president.

Anyways, look at Bubu's name in Chinese

the lifeless Bubu doesn't even know what's going on there, see the non issues he negotiated with Trump, May and Angela Merkel... at least Uhuru negotiations will amount to something

TayserMahiri:
The World's Poorest Countries

Tanzania kicking ass at pos 9, led by their singing bros Congo, and unfortunately Uganda and Ethiopia.

Honestly, if you were given a list of these 3 countries: Ethiopia, Uganda and Tanzania, you would be able to explain why the first two are dirt poor. For UG you'd likely say Idi Amin and for Ethio you'd likely say droughts or wars. But for Tanzania you'd have to google or engage an expert. These guys are just poor for nothing. No wars, no droughts,,,none of those things. They are just poor for poverty's sake.

Wages of laziness, ...begging will never lift them from that

Daejoyoung:
Ain't you tired of posting all these? Why not take them all to your Kenyan Swahili forums or Sky Scraper. These pictures alone are boring if you are not posting them for our knowledge or fun.
