The Sh2.7 billion 18-storey green office block constructed by non-banking financial services group Sanlam Kenya Plc #ticker:PAFR will be ready for occupation by the end of the year.
Speaking during a site visit, company chief executive Mugo Kibati said it has received requests for reservation from several local and international firms keen on letting the Grade-A commercial office space.
Sanlam Towers on Waiyaki Way is a 140,000 square-feet facility that will also serve as the South African parent’s regional headquarters.
Mr Kibati said the firm plans to consolidate its Wealth Management, Life and General Insurance units into a single outfit under one roof at the newly built client service centre in Sanlam Towers.
“As part of our growth strategy, we are looking forward to integrate and unify all our businesses under one brand to afford our clients convenience in solutions and services,” he said.
Tenants at Sanlam Tower will also enjoy ample parking with 400 slots reserved for them.
The project, being implemented by Seyani Brothers and supervised by Acorn Management was designed by Triad and Gapp architects.
It boasts anti-glare windows that ease the sun’s glare but allows ample lighting in thereby helping reduce the need for electric lighting. Sanlam is currently housed in the Nairobi CBD.
