Land prices in Karen and Langata grew at the fastest pace among Nairobi’s suburbs and satellite towns in the year to June after a change in policy allowed construction of high-rise buildings in sections of the estate.

HassConsult, a real estate firm that tracks rents and property prices, says the cost of an acre in Karen rose 10 percent to Sh79.5 million in the period to June while Langata recorded a 9.8 percent growth to Sh94.7 million.
