Five-star hotel Villa Rosa Kempinski has stopped Chinese real estate firm Avic International from constructing a Sh9.6 billion complex in its neighbourhood along Chiromo Road in Nairobi’s Westlands.
The complex, which includes a 35-floor five-star hotel, had received the green light from a number of regulatory agencies, including the National Environment Management Authority (Nema) before Kempinski filed a petition with the environment tribunal, seeking orders against its construction.
