What you need to know:
The building is designed to five-star hotel standards, and aligned with World Bank and European Union safety requirements.
It is expected to have a 12000sq feet of rental space and an additional 16000sq feet of lush gardens space.
The executive units will be fully-furnished by Turkish interior designers.
Christened 88 Nairobi Condominium, the building will be the tallest residential apartment in Sub Sahara Africa, sitting at 44 floors on a two-acre piece of land along Fourth Ngong Avenue in Upper Hill.
Jonathan Jackson, founder of Lordship Africa and Lordship Europe, said that the project was motivated by the need to provider housing to executives who work in the upscale Upper Hill district.
“Upper Hill currently doesn't have executive residential apartments despite the near 40000 VIPs who work in this area. The building will enable them them to drive for short distances to work, or even walk,” said Jackson.
The building is designed to five-star hotel standards, and aligned with World Bank and European Union safety requirements.
