• Why Are Some Commercial Buildings Struggling to Attract Tenants?

  The commercial property market is changing, and what businesses look for in a workspace or retail location is not necessarily the same as it was a few years ago. According to Cytonn Research's Q3 2026 Markets Review, Nairobi Metropolitan Area had an estimated office space oversupply of 3.4 million square feet. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, some businesses have adopted hybrid working arrangements, allowing employees to work partly from home and partly from the office. Take a drive through parts of Nairobi, and you'll notice something interesting. New office blocks, shopping centres and commercial developments continue to shape the city's skyline.

• Buying Property in Kenya? Why the Neighbourhood Matters as Much as the House

  You do not want to move into your dream home only to discover that getting to work is a daily struggle.

Visit at different times of the day and pay attention to things such as street lighting, security arrangements, noise and the general condition of the surrounding area. Finding the right home is not just about the house itself. It is about finding a place where your everyday life works, too. You have found a house you love. The kitchen is just right, there is enough space for everyone, and you can already picture yourself settling in. You might even be mentally arranging the furniture. But wait

The notice covers various permissions, including building works, demolitions, changes of use, increased development density, subdivisions, plot amalgamations and lease renewals.
