Real estate developers Jabavu Village Limited and White Lotus Projects are the names behind plans to build Nairobi’s tallest building, which will be the new home of the city’s Hilton Hotel.
The Sh11 billion twin towers building, whose construction has begun in Nairobi’s Upper Hill, is scheduled to be completed by 2020.
When complete, Hass Towers will be one of the largest and most modern properties in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area and will be located about 200 metres from The Montave – another upmarket mixed development property financed by Dubai investors. Both are expected to reaffirm Nairobi’s position as Africa’s prime real estate investment city.
The 67- storey Hass Towers is set on a three-acre plot and will dwarf other buildings in Nairobi, including the 43-storey complex that Chinese firm Avic is building in Westlands and the recently completed UAP Towers. The 255 guest-room hotel will be located in the shorter of the twin towers while the taller arm will be an office block.
It will also house a four level retail and entertainment segment with a central atrium on which the 45 level five-star suite hotel will be built.
