Housing developers moving out of Nairobi

19 October 2012, 16:44

Nairobi - High land prices in Nairobi are now seeing some housing developments sprout outside of the nation’s capital, as developers seek to meet the housing demand at a more affordable price, Capital News reports.

According to Jenga Web's Managing Director, Nathan Luesby, over the last four years land prices in parts of Nairobi have shot up by a thousand percent, which is why there is a rise of “super developments” where a developer buys a big chunk of land outside the city and puts a huge number of houses on it.
