EAST AND CENTRAL AFRICA’S TALLEST BUILDING COMMISSIONED FOR WORK.
Britam Tower, the tallest building in East and Central Africa has finally opened for business.
The group managing director of Britam Holdings, confirmed that Britam Tower was ready for leasing. The new building which is located in Nairobi; Kenya has 31 storeys and an exterior 15-storey silo for parking. Also, has eight high-speed lifts to travel from ground floor to the top floor in less than 30 seconds
No other building in Nairobi gives its occupants a stress-relieving chance to see Mt Kenya, the Nairobi National Park, Wilson Airport, and Nairobi CBD among other scenic views in one enclosure.
However, Nairobi’s real estate industry is currently experiencing a surplus in office space. Hence,the matter on whether all the 303,242 square feet that are available at the Britam Tower with a parking capacity of 1,002 cars will full up still stands.
This is because in the neighboring UAP building, over 65% of the space is available. The high levels of new supply of commercial office space have negatively affected rental levels and occupancy rates.
The Britam Tower is built by Britam Properties, a subsidiary of Britam Holdings. Britam Properties is also developing 11 floors of fully-furnished apartments in Kilimani worth US $33m.
