businessdailyafrica.com

Karen and Langata recorded the fastest land price growth in Nairobi suburbs, rising 10% and 9.8%, after a policy change allowed high-rise development. Real estate firm HassConsult attributed the surge to Nairobi County's 2026 Development Control Policy, allowing four-storey buildings along key roads and raising ground cover limits from 25% to 50%, boosting developer demand for rental homes. Nairobi suburbs averaged 4.2% growth, outperforming satellite towns at 2.95%. Only Muthangari and Muthaiga recorded price drops among suburbs.
