From the city centre, Upper Hill looks like an ideal place to go picnicking or take a walk to cool off one’s mind after a long day. The lush green crowns of trees with only a few buildings peeping from beneath the imposing greenery give the idea this hood is unspoilt by Nairobi’s concrete look.

However, a deeper scrutiny reveals a struggle for space between residential and office blocks that have mushroomed all over Upper Hill. Dwarfed by the imposing office complexes are residential buildings, most of which were built during the colonial era and are thus worn with age.
As you enter this hood from Haile Selassie Avenue off Uhuru Highway, a bungalow lies in ruins in the shade of eucalyptus trees, giving an indication of the future of many residential buildings here.

Apart from the occasional bungalows behind kei apple and barbed wire fences punctuating the office blocks, residential proper in Upper Hill is beyond the Kenyatta National Hospital. Just off Elgon Road is a residential area that embodies a strange contrast between the old and the new. Old red tile bungalows together with their spacious servants quarters defiantly stand behind the imposing fences in the shadow of the newer apartment blocks that overlook them.

Most of the older buildings are in their last throes as most are overgrown with shrubs and jacaranda trees hanging over them like the sword of Damocles.

Apartment blocks

At one such plot, the house is disused and the garage doors stand wide open seemingly in resignation. However, a relatively new sign notifies the public that a local private security firm guards the property.

Ironically, barely metres away, a modern residential court teems with activity as children play behind the gates. Next to it, workers are trying hard to finish another residential block. But the space for residential buildings is slowly being taken over by ultra-modern offices, which tower threateningly over apartment blocks.

Old bungalows are being phased out by office blocks.
For instance, in the upper part of Upper Hill from KNH coming towards the city centre, office blocks have a field day having grown increasingly attractive to commercial developers. Giant corporate organisations such as Coca Cola Africa Group, Rahimtullah Towers, Citi Group, the fortress-like British High Commission, European Union, Old Mutual, Shelter Afrique, British American Insurance and Oxford Press are just but a few of the office blocks enjoying the serene coolness of the area.

The residential blocks coming up in the area are luxury developments that are highly priced whether purchasing or letting. Undoubtedly, they target the elite high-income group. Public service vehicles, mainly Double M, Citi Hoppa and KBS ply the area through the KNH route.

Those who enjoy leisurely walks find this area double-edged sword with its narrow roads and imposing structures peeping shyly over carefully maintained hedges with fierce looking guards who watch your every move. However, on a normal day, the number of pedestrians is minimal such that, when you are on foot, you feel uncomfortably conspicuous, like a large fly on a white wall.

Upper Hill is also the Gateway to South Nairobi (Jamhuri, Dagoretti, Kikuyu, Kawangware).... when all these guys in the skyscrapers leave work, the oness in CBD are stuck in one BIG TRAFFIC JAM for hours. Is Ngong Road a dual carriage way all the way to Dagoretti?

There was a scandal sometime back when they were to convert ngong road into a dual carriage highway. come to think of it, it must be the only really major highway in Nairobi that isnt a dual carriageway...and maybe outering road.

My moms office is in upperhill,at Josems trust house next to Barclays bank,its so easy for her to get home,the only traffic she experiences is at Ngong road from Kenyatta.Which is better than being stuck in the CBD.

I am sure its just a matter of time before Ngong road will be converted into a dual carriage way.Though so many business will be affected,petrol stations shops etc.

Umoja House will be built in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area The government of Tanzania has said it will put up an ultra-modern building in Nairobi to rival Kenya’s new multi-million Harambee Plaza in Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete has said Harambee Plaza - scheduled to house the Kenyan High Commission - is “a challenge to the government of Tanzania to build its mission in Kenya as soon as possible.”

President Kikwete said the proposed Tanzania High Commission will be named Umoja House and will be of the same quality as the Kenyan one in Dar es Salaam. Umoja House will be situated at the upmarket Upper Hill area, just a few minutes drive from the Nairobi central business district.

Harambee Plaza, located in the low density Osterbay area - 4km from the Dar es Salaam central business district- was opened recently by Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki. The building that will also house the high commissioner’s residence is one of the most impressive in Dar es Salaam - overshadowing even the American embassy.

Speaking during the opening ceremony in Dar es Salaam, President Kibaki challenged the business community in Tanzania to use the available opportunities in Kenya to balance the trade between the two countries.

The construction of the Ksh420 million complex started in 2006. Construction tender was awarded to Tanzanian contractors and all the materials used to put up the building were sourced from Tanzania.

BY FRANCIS MUREITHI
THE government wants to build a new Sh1.6 billion complex for the President in the upmarket area of Upper Hill to keep the head of state out of the congested Nairobi city centre.The proposed Office of the President complex to be named New Harambee House will be built on land originally earmarked for the construction of the Capitol Hill police station at Upper Hill. The project is unlikely to start this year after Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta failed to allocate the Cabinet Office the Sh500 million it had requested to start the project.

According to minutes of a July meeting held between the Office of the President Principal Administrative Secretary Samuel Mwale and the parliamentary Committee on Administration and National Security, the new complex is aimed at "easing pressure" at Harambee House.

Mwale told the committee chaired by Mt Elgon MP Fred Kapondi on July 16 that the Sh500 million sought this financial year had not been allocated so the project had been postponed until the next financial year. Mwale with three other officials from the Cabinet office had appeared before the committee to explain how the office will be spending its Shi billion allocation this financial year. The other officials were William Karani, JW Hanjari and deputy secretary Brown Otiya. Also present were two Treasury officials.

The final report by the committee was tabled in Parliament last week so that MPs can debate it when endorsing the Cabinet budget this week or next week. Since independence, Kenya's presidents have been working at Hammbee House on Haramhee Avenue in the city centre. After succeeding Daniel Moi in December 2002, President Kibaki preferred to work from State House Nairobi.

Last year Kibaki changed tack and has shifted most of his daily meetings to Harambee House. Pending completion of the new presidential complex, the Cabinet office plans to shift some staff to the new offices of the Prime Minister at the fivestorey Shell and BP House which is also on Harambee Avenue.

The government bought the building in January for Sh700 million for the Prime Minister's office and renovations are expected to cost Sh 100 million. Since Raila Odinga was sworn in as PM in 2008, he has been based on the 14th floor of Treasury building also on Harambee Avenue. "The Prime Minister is about to move to the newly acquired BP Shell house so pressure will ease at Harambee House," Mwale told the MPs according to the tabled report.

Harambee House presently provides offices for the President, Head of Public Service, Ministry of Internal Security and Provincial Administration, Ministry of Public Service, Administration Police headquarters and the Directorate of Personnel Management.

Some of these offices are expected to be relocated to Upper Hill once the Office of the President Complex is completed in Upper Hill. Big companies and foreign missions have also started running away from the congested Central Business District and its traffic Jams. Last month, the Tanzania government acquired a plot in the Upper Hill for the construction of its chancery. Other-Upper Hill offices include the British High Commission, European Union, Coca Cola, Rahimtullah Towers, Citigroup and Old Mutual.

The government has recently been criticised for budgeting to renovate the private residence of the Prime Minister at a cost of Sh33.4 million this year. Another Sh200million has been spent on a palatial official residence for the Vice-President in Karen although the project has since stalled.^^

Workers put the final gloss on Coca Cola East and Central Africa’s new office building in Upperhill. Photo/ANTHONY KAMAU

By WASHINGTON AKUMU
Posted Thursday, September 11 2008 at 20:58

When soft drink giant Coca Cola unveils its Sh700 million office complex in Nairobi today, it will be evidence of the Atlanta-based transnational’s continuing thirst for more business in the region.

President Kibaki is expected to preside at the launch of the building, one of the latest additions to Upperhill’s changing skyline. “Kenya is a gateway to East Africa. We chose Kenya because of its current and future economic growth potential. It has human capital strength. The communication infrastructure is continually improving. This also happens to be one of our priority markets,” said Nathan Kalumbu, president of Coke’s operation in East and Central Africa.

The Nairobi office, a two-storey affair with room for a further two floors, is a regional base that is expected to serve the firm’s operations in at least 27 countries in East and Central Africa. Hitherto, it has been operating from three rented locations within the city. “By coming together, we have an opportunity to strengthen and improve our ways of working. We believe that we are building strong relationships within the workplace that are critical to our continued success,” argued Mr Kalumbu.

In Kenya, the Coca Cola system consists of six bottling plants. The oldest is Mombasa-based Coastal Bottlers, which started operations way back in 1948 and is owned by the family of Navin and Suresh Shah.

Local investors
The Shahs also own Kisumu’s Equator Bottlers. Others are Nairobi, Rift Valley (Eldoret), Mount Kenya (Nyeri) and Kisii Bottlers. In the early 2000, the local franchise went through a cataclysmic consolidation that saw South African transnational Sabco take a major stake in Nairobi Bottlers.

As part of its then “anchor bottler” policy, Sabco (in which Coca Cola retains significant shareholding) got a foothold into Kenya, while some two plants were closed (Nakuru’s Flamingo and Machakos’ Mount Kenya Bottlers) and consolidated under the Nairobi plant.

The move invited strong nationalistic posturing with the feeling that it would scuttle small local investors in the franchise. Even then, a strong local component remains in the shareholding of three of the other bottlers, largely thanks to investment firm Centum and parastatals ICDC and
and IDB.

Fairview Hotel

"The Fairview is that rare bird in Africa - a comfortable hotel that hasn't decked itself out in feathers of upmarket gloss and tasteless luxury. The hotel's leafy acres and scattered buildings are laid out on Nairobi Hill, a world away from the overheated bustle . . . "Elle Magazine.

Rooms
The Fairview was acquired by the Szlapak family in 1946. At that time, the hotel had only 40 rooms. Since then, the hotel has grown to just over 100 rooms. As a result, the hotel offers a wide range of room alternatives.

Conferencing
Kijiji - (Swahili for "The Village")

This room is arguably one of the best conferencing alternatives in Nairobi. The room is equipped with all the latest conferencing necessities including a laptop/video projecter, flip charts, speakers, air conditioner etc. We have also invested in special equipment to hang flip chart papers on the walls as well as various white boards that hang on the wall.

http://www.porini.com/nairobi_hotels/fairview_hotel_nairobi7.jpg
The room can accommodate up to 60 people. Alternatively, the room can be divided into two rooms and can accommodate 20 people in Kijiji A and 40 people in Kijiji B. The conference room has its own cloakrooms which were also completed recently. The most attractive element of Kijiji is not inside the conference room but outside - the conferencing facility overlooks its own private garden. During the coffee break, all conferencing participants enjoy fresh air on the verandah overlooking the garden!!

Facilities

Business Centre
The Fairview Business Centre offers the following facilities:
email,
Internet browsing,
computer renting,
typing,
faxing,
photocopying,
shredding and
scanning.
First Class Lounge

Guests in our First Class rooms enjoy complimentary access to the lounge. The lounge is located above the breakfast area and is open between 6:30 a.m and 11:00 p.m. In the Lounge one can enjoy complimentary access to 2 PCs, a range of papers and magazines, coffee and tea all day long and various other benefits!

Internet access in the rooms
We have 2 options for guests requiring internet access in the rooms. The first is wireless access (Wi-Fi). 90% of our rooms enjoy Wi-Fi access so please check with Reception to determine whether wi-fi is available in your room. If you don't have a Wi-Fi card, we will happily sell and install one for you. The second option is a wired ethernet connection - unfortunately, only 6 rooms have this option so please request it on check-in and we will do our best to oblige. Another fairly recent addition to The Fairview is the beautiful swimming pool. Situated near the gym, the pool is for residents only and is open from 7.00 am to 6.30pm daily.

Gym
The Bridge to Fitness has a wonderful view of the pool area and contains the latest equipment by LifeFitness: 2 treadmills, a recumbent exercise bike, a cross trainer, a rowing machine, basic weights, leg press calf extention, a Multi-Gym and a few other of the basics. The gym is only open to hotel and Apartment residents.

Dining
As a family-run hotel, one of our goals is to ensure that food is not standard hotel food but rather has the 'home cooked' touch - tasty, comforting and ample. We offer a great range of dining alternatives. The Pwani Pool Restaurant, adjoining the swimming pool, offers a full range of international cuisine in a casual environment. Its bar is a favorite with residents in the evening. The Mukutan Garden Café is without a doubt the best place in Upper Hill (perhaps all of Nairobi) for top-notch coffees and light/quick meals such as gourmet sandwiches, pizzas and Quesadillas.

Mitende Atrium
Our brand, the Country Hotel in Town, is omnipresent at breakfast with the addition of our atrium. Having breakfast on a rainy morning takes a whole new dimension!

Pango Brasserie
The classiest dining experience Nairobi has to offer. Its star attraction is an underground wine-bar where drinks are served before dinner.

SUSHI BAR
Sushi to die for! ^^

Panafric Hotel is set in spacious natural gardens less than a kilometer from the city centre. The quite residential surroundings have distinguished the hotel as the natural choice for meetings and conferences. The Panafric Hotel, part of Sarova Hotels, is imposingly set on a hill in a plush up-market residential suburb in Nairobi, now the site of Sarova Hotels Group Reservation Head Office in Nairobi. Sarova Panafric first opened its doors to the public on 5th January 1965, the first president of Kenya H.E. Mzee Jomo Kenyatta , a staunch supporter of the Pan African Movement officially opened it under the name Sarova Panafric Hotel. It had only one block consisting of 100 rooms but an economic boom led to an increase in business during the Pan-African era, which led to an ambitious expansion plan. The 2nd block was officially opened on 6th February 1969. In 1991 Sarova Hotels & Lodges bought Sarova Panafric Hotel from Africa Tours Safaris & Hotels making it the third Sarova Hotel & Lodge acquisition, after The Sarova Stanley Hotel and Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort Mombassa.

It is clear that the staff do not serve the customer as a sense of duty - but an inner disposition of valuing service excellence and executing the service professionally.

By Kimanzi Mwalya
Posted Monday, June 22 2009

A relatively new concept in the tourism industry is conference tourism; a niche market sub sector that revolves around service provision to business travellers attending seminars, workshops, conferences and conventions.

Conference marketing is a sub sector within the tourism industry which specialises in selling of conference rooms. At the moment, conference tourism is the largest and fastest growing segment of the modern tourism sector.

It has a higher financial impact because conference travellers spend more than leisure travellers. Often their expenses are paid for by the organisations they represent, leaving the tourists with substantial disposable incomes that they can spend.

Various local and regional tourism sector developments have taken place in the recent past. We have witnessed the construction of new hotels at the heart of Nairobi like the upcoming Crown Plaza in Upper Hill, Tribe Hotel at Village Market-Gigiri, Ole-Sereni along Mombasa Road and the Westlands Hotel coming up next to Sarit Centre.

These new properties will give the city enough headroom to grow conference tourism because more multi-nationals are setting base in Kenya and Nairobi has raised its stature as a regional conference hub.

Besides the above, a number of international hotel brand names are looking to build or partner with local players to set up new facilities in Nairobi, for instance Kempinski Hotels Worldwide (an international hotel chain from Germany) and Accor Hotels of France are just but a few names that have in the recent past shown interest in Kenya.

In Uganda, the New Serena Hotel has made a boost in conferencing tourism in the region. Uganda can now handle a larger magnitude of visitors for conferencing than any time before. In Tanzania, Arusha houses the East Africa Community which takes a number of visitors from all over the EAC states. Tourism industry players need to tap into the potential of conference tourism.

They can achieve this by:

Aggressive marketing
The players should market all the conference facilities in the country not forgetting Kenya’s good weather that makes it possible to do business or hold conferences all year round. These facilities, combined with comfortable surrounds, nice accommodation and fine cuisine will enable conference delegates hold a professional and effective conference.

Identifying a sustainable source of funding for tourism development and marketing is critical at this stage, and the Kenya Tourist Board which received Sh400 million, though Sh200 million less than what was allocated last year, should be a starting point.

Increase financing
Compared to other destinations in Africa, the money that Kenya sets aside for tourism marketing is way below par. Egypt for example spent about Sh 8 billion while South Africa used more than Sh 6.24 billion on tourist market activities and both destinations had impressive arrivals at 13 million and 9.5 million respectively.

Kenya needs to up its game and increase the funding from the current 400 Million for 2009/2010 financial year. Last year, Kenya Tourism Board received one billion shillings from government and donors for tourism marketing. The industry might have to depend more on appropriations from donors to sustain their marketing activities.

Kenya Tourist Development Corporation, (KTDC), which gives loans to hotels to carry out soft refurbishments, should increase its funding towards development of conference facilities. KTDC was allocated Sh800 million in the 2009/2010 budget.

Boost domestic tourism
Kenya has a large and growing middle income group that is increasingly travelling and holding conferences. This should be encouraged, for instance Tembea Kenya Initiative — a public/private initiative aimed at promoting domestic tourism is bearing fruits but needs quite some push to get to a level where it can effectively cushion the industry when foreign tourists are scarce.

The newly created body for the promotion of domestic tourism and the domestic tourism council of Kenya was allocated 10.3 million shillings. These funds should go a long way in improving our domestic tourism.

Develop world-class facilities
These include conference halls and private meeting rooms, audiovisual and multimedia services and telecommunications. South Africa, Egypt and Morocco are leading in conference tourism because they have conference facilities of international standards and back-up services.Kenya has its share in conference tourism in the world. Facilities for conferencing in Kenya should be developed and many countries will prefer Kenya as a conference destination.

Government incentives
The Kenyan government should find ways of encouraging international hospitality investment by removing barriers to entry and offering incentives. The Kenya Investment Authority (KIA) – the agency tasked with marketing Kenya as an investment destination – should emphasize on adding value to conference tourism and invest heavily across all sectors.

Promotion of team building venues
Kenya offers the perfect combination of work and play. Times outside of the conference room can be spent exploring various team building activities like Rock climbing, water rafting, indoor and outdoor games etc. It’s a better way to develop team strength and bonding. Some local hotels and establishments have made it big in the conference business.

The Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) has undertaken a total overhaul of conference facilities. These facilities have enabled KICC to compete effectively in conference tourism. KICC’s has even been re-admitted to the prestigious International Congress and Convention Centre (ICCA) and this has helped raise the number of international conferences up by 12.4 per cent.

The Sarova Hotels group in light of this has also undertaken major rehabilitation and acquired additional properties which will enable it to attract and retain conference tourism clientele. Mombasa, with its good weather and many hotels, is an ideal conference venue. Leisure lodge and Mombasa beach hotel among others have magnificent conference facilities of international standards.

The Place
Located in the Upper Hill area of Nairobi on Ralph Bunche Road, this office complex is ideal for professionals looking for consulting offices to purchase either for their own use or as an investment. The development shares a boundary with Nairobi Hospital and it is intended that it will be linked directly to the hospital, therefore bringing the facilities that this leading hospital offers to the door step of this development. It is targeted for use by doctors, but is also ideal for lawyers, architects and other professionals.

The Office Suites
The development will house 48 office suites ranging in size from 474.90 square feet up to 1,087.30 square feet. Larger units are available on early request. Each of the office has a private fitted bathroom. The suites come ready with plumbing and drainage services necessary to fit any additional sanitary fittings that may be required by the doctors.

In addition the development has 4 large commercial units on the ground floor available for lease. Priority in lease of these units is being given to service providers that will offer products that are complementary to the building use and tenants. A total of 97 car parking bays are available for purchase or renting to the suite owners

The site is located next to the British High Commission on Upper Hill and is a sensitive site, and security considerations were uppermost in the design process. High quality health and safety standards were imposed on the contractor. The contract value was $1.5 million and the project was completed in late 2004.

Crowne Plaza Comes to Nairobi

http://main.constructionreviewonline.com/images/ken3-oct09.jpgWorks are almost complete at the new Crowne Plaza Hotel in the Upper Hill region of Nairobi City. The hotel is located in the midst of the new commercial hub that houses a number of corporate headquaters, including Coca-Cola, Old Mutual, BAT, Shelter Afrique, and financial Institutions such as UAP Insurance, Victoria Bank and Gemini Insurance.
The introduction of an international 4-star hotel fits in well within the sea of corporate bodies, as it has been designed primarily for the discerning business executive and traveller.
Design Concept.
The building was designed with the need to have small spans for the bedrooms, and large spans for public areas. Hence the design consists of a double volume, single storey section on one end, with a 5 storey tower block on the other.
The single storey section hosts public areas including a large banquet hall which is free of internal columns. This room is divisible into three smaller rooms with the use of folding acoustic panels. It opens out to a large pre-function area for cocktails, etc. The banquet hall is served by a fully equipped kitchen, which is linked to the main kitchen by an internal service corridor. The large double volume entrance foyer and reception area lends an air of opulence to the hotel. An elevated coffee lounge will offer 24 hour service with a comfortable and convenient place to meet and conduct business. A speciality restuarant is located on the mezzanine floor above the reception area.
The “tower” section comprises of the remaining public areas. These include a double level bar/ bar lounge, providing live entertaininment in the evenings. An “all-day-dining” restaurant to seat 200, will cater for all meals. This overlooks a semi covered pool terrace, which leads to a heated pool. The pool is connected to a sof the art health and fitness centre. This will offer both gymnasium and spa facilities on 2 levels, with independent male and female facilities including steam and sauna rooms
There are six additional smaller meeting rooms to cater for smaller groups. A conveniently placed business centre, bank, hair salon and shop provide additional services required by the traveller and buisnessman.
Accommodation comprises of 149 standard rooms, with either a king bed or 2 double beds; 8 executive rooms with seperate lounge and guest wc; 5 presidential suites with seperate lounge, guest wc, interconnecting with a standard room. There are 2 specially designed and equipped rooms suitable for disabled persons. All rooms are tastefully furnished with imported furniture and fabrics. The rooms are air-conditioned, equipped with flat screed (interactive) TVs, fully stocked mini-bar, complimentary tea and coffee. A large desk provides lots of working space, and the hotel is served with wireless broadband connectivity. Rooms are also hard wired,with bathrooms having seperate bath tubs and showers. Suites are fitted with corner baths.
An executive club floor is located on the top floor of the hotel that caters for the busy business excecutive, with added amenities provided, including a seperate lounge that serves breakfast and refreshments throughout the day.
The long facade of the banquet hall with its arched windows and decorative moulded panels lend the building a classic look, which is carried on up the tower section. The idea for the hotel was to design a timeless building with a welcoming appeal. The use of “traditional” materials has helped to achieve this.

InterCon to to open second five-star hotel in Nairobi

By WANGUI MAINA
Posted Monday, November 2 2009 at 00:00

The InterContinental Hotel Group (IHG) will on Monday morning announce its investments plans that will see it open a new five star hotel in a bid to capture the growing conference and business travellers market.

The new 182 room hotel, Crowne Plaza, will be opened next month in Nairobi’s growing Upper Hill and it comes at a time when the country is witnessing the recovery of the tourism industry. This will be IHG second five starbrand in Kenya after the Inter Continental Hotel and it sets the stage for a control of conference and business travellers among city hotels, including Hilton, Serena and Sarova.

“We trust this market and we are here to stay because our Nairobi hotel has been doing well despite the economic downturn,” said Karl Hala, the group’s director of operations in Africa and the General Manger of the Nairobi hotel.

Boost presence
The five-star hotel is expected to help the group boost its presence in the country and tap into the Nairobi market that is first emerging as the regions hub for leisure, conference and business tourism.

Local tourism is showing strong signs of recovery after suffering from last years post-election violence and the financial crisis that pushed world travel to record lows.

Official data show that tourism earnings rose 10 per cent to Sh36.64 billion in the first half of the year and the sector is optimistic it could reach the 2007 highs of Sh65 billion with two million guests.

The 2007 boom was short-lived due to the post-election violence and the financial crisis that affected the world economy. The change is attributed to increased marketing and efforts to reach out to new zones in the last eight months of the year— a campaign expected to continue in the industry’s recovery path.

As a result, players such as IHG are angling to get a larger piece of this market. Globally, IHG owns Holiday Inn, Hotel Indigo, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, and InterContinental Hotels. Crowne Plaza is part of the group’s expansion plans in the region where it has planned to open up to eight new units in coming months.

IHG has its sights set on moving to Angola, Nigeria, Tanzania, Senegal and South Africa. Africa is currently the focus of many other hospitality groups who are looking at the potential of investing in the region. For Fairmont group acquiring properties from Lonhro in 2005 was a step into moving into the region. Since then it has refurbished three of the key properties - Norfolk, Mount Kenya Safari Club and Mara Safari - to Fairmont standards, it also acquired a property in Zanzibar.

IHG has had presence in the Kenyan market for 40 years, having celebrated its birthday over the weekend, under the InterContinental Hotel in Nairobi, which the Kenyan government has a 33.8 per cent stake.

The group though had to struggle last year following the slump in the sector that saw room occupancy slightly impacted. However, business travel sustained the unit during the rough patch.

Is the infrastructure (Roads and Parking Bays) matching all these developments?

unfortunately its not. i recently stayed at the fairview hotel which is in the heart on upper hill and the roads, even though drivable and decent, are no where near the quality of this developments. its seems as always in kenya that the private sector yearns for better government. footpaths and nice roads in this place would improve investor confidence.

The Town clerk, Government and the city fathers surely needs to liase with the private sector to come up with a transportaion blue print so as to update the dilapilated infrastructure.

I understand they are currently building a presidential wing here to cater for those leaders who are fond of flying out to the west for treatment.

I am not so sure about Kenyan Big shots using our local facilities unless its in an accidental situation, but I know that leaders from Greater EA come to Nairobi for treatment services.

• These shareholders will jointly own 40% of the KMA complex and accrue an income of the same proportion prorated as per share holding
• The details of the company can be obtained in the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company, a copy of which is obtainable from KMA offices

Office space:
• 1,000 square meters will be reserved for KMA
• 3020 square meters will be pre-sold principally to specialist associations and other institutions as the board of KMIC would deem fit to raise additional revenue for construction. Only 67 units are available
• Minimum office space is 45 square meters
• Current market value of office space in upper-hill is approximately Ksh 120,000 per square meter. Office rent can be paid in advance to secure office space.

Upper Hill

Written by james

Upper Hill rating ***

Upper Hill is quickly becoming the prime office location in Nairobi. Many businesses have relocated to the area from the Central Business District, with companies now building their office headquarters in Upper Hill as a first choice. However, the growth of Upper Hill as a commercial hub is recent. Only 8 years ago, Upper Hill was a predominantly upper-middle class residential area, with many, old colonial houses occupying 1 or 2 acres of land. Today, it is resplendent with neat, organized rows of high-rise buildings housing blue-chip local and multinational companies. Contrasting with the spectacular, modern skyscrapers are some remaining and somewhat unkempt bungalows waiting for the right price to sell the land. The area is home to several regional and local companies headquarters; Standard Chartered Bank, Equity Bank, The World Bank, Coca-Cola, City Bank, Pricewater Coopers, IFC among other big names have built impressive head-offices at Upper Hill.

Location: Approximately 2 km from the CBD, Upper Hill stretches from Ngong road near Kenyatta Hospital to the Nyayo stadium roundabout.

Types of buildings:Most bungalows here were built in the 1960’s and 1970’s, but have given way to imposing multi-storeyed commercial buildings. There are a few modern apartments and residential maisonettes tucked in gated communities. The Kenyatta Hospital estate, on the Northern part of Upper Hill, houses KNH staff.

Density: Low density population

Property values / trends: Due to the transformation of Upper Hill to a prime commercial area, an acre of land is now going for Sh100 million.

Area zoning for development:
Most residential parcels of land are being converted for commercial use through a ‘change of user’ permit from the city council.

Residents association:
The business community of Upper Hill is catered by the Nairobi Central Business District Association.

Security:
Almost all high-rise buildings have private security arrangements. The presence of several embassies makes the area relatively safe.

Transport & road networks:
Upper Hill has three main entry points; via Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), the Haile Selassie – Ngong road intersection, and through the Nyayo Stadium roundabout. Since the area was predominantly a residential area, the narrow roads are busting from the increased traffic. Commuters board public buses from Kencom going to KNH

I think there are pics distributed within the hotels and Nairobi city galleries. I once tried to take a pic of it but they have notices restricting anyone taking pics. Then again, what do you expect from a joint in Gigiri? Taking pics in that hood is really difficult.

Highton Park stands as a bold testament to the incorporation of health faclitites and services in an environment of corporate office. It gives health an all new meaning.

In the design process, the office tossed aside the idea of a health institution that incorporates wards but we envisioned an office hospital environment. Its bold design and precision detailing says goodbye to the traditional ‘hospital ward’ health facilities.

http://www.fairviewkenya.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pango.jpg
Recently launched, this Brasserie has established itself as Nairobi’s top lunch and dinner venue. Pango is in the distinguished class of being a member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. What makes this Brasserie different to any other eating venue in Nairobi is that it comes complete with its own underground Wine Bar! The Wine Bar is exclusively for diners in Pango. For Fine Dining and superb service, Pango is number 1!

http://www.fairviewkenya.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/mukutan.jpgThe Mukutan Garden Café is without a doubt the best place in Upper Hill (perhaps all of Nairobi) for top-notch coffees and light/quick meals such as gourmet sandwiches, pizzas, Quesadillas and Nairobi’s best Sushi. The Café overlooks the most beautiful water feature in East Africa. The cocktails are often very popular after a long day at work! Mukutan: Swahili for meeting place

http://www.fairviewkenya.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/atrium.jpg
It is too cold in Nairobi to have breakfast outside, so we built a greenhouse that allows one to have breakfast with natural light and plenty of greenery. The atrium is also a great venue for buffet lunches and its a la carte menu in the evenings is mouth watering! In the evenings, the piano player will take your mind off work!

http://www.fairviewkenya.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pwani1.jpg
This restaurant, adjoining the Swimming Pool, offers a full range of international cuisine in a casual environment. Its bar is a favourite with residents in the evening.

Who knows if there are any plans to convert Ngong Road into a dual carriage way any time soon? It is the only major road remaining which badly needs to be converted to a dual carriageway upto Kiserian, Rongai and to join Langata road. In other words there needs to be a dual carraiage kinda ring made up of Ngong road and Langata-Magadi Road all the way to Karen, Kiserian, back to Rongai to meet Langat road if we are talking vision 2030 at all.:bash:

^^uhuru signed agreement with world bank last week to fund 3 linking roads all in that area to ease traffic jam, the roads will be connecting ngong road to westlands and lavington in that region, they are 12 linking roads that will be built in the next 2 years in whole Nairobi, one of them will be raised road connecting Ngara to kirinyanga roads, sorry i was busy i did not posted it that story:D

I think one of the roads is christened the 'The Missing Link' and it will connect Hurlingam area to Westlands and shorten the distance.

23 February 2010

Nairobi — A new road to be constructed in Nairobi is expected to reduce the time it takes commuters to reach their places of work by easing traffic flow around the city. The road referred to as the missing link will connect Kileleshwa Police Station to Westlands roundabout, Ole Dume Road and James Gichuru Road to Ngong Road.

To help achieve this, the Japanese Government has granted Kenya Sh31.5 million for the construction of the Nairobi Western Ring Road. The project, to be done in 18 months beginning January next year, will be implemented in line with Japan's Grant Aid guidelines.

"We expect that this project will help in decongesting the Nairobi Metropolitan that is currently experiencing heavy traffic jam," said Finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta who signed the grant. Traffic jams have become a culture in the capital city especially during rush hours. It is estimated that this costs the economy billions of shilling annually in wasted man-hours.

Transport costs
"This project has an overall goal of reducing transport costs within Nairobi," said Japanese ambassador to Kenya Shigeo Iwatani. Roads minister Franklin Bett said that about 1,000 people will be relocated from the construction sites.

"We have identified them and we shall carry out the relocation in the best way possible," said Mr Bett without saying where they would be moved to. Japan is currently one of Kenya's biggest development partners in terms of grants estimated at Sh330 billion over the years. The latest of these was concluded last week during a visit to Japan by a government delegation.

As part of these, Sh2.24 billion is to be channelled towards mitigation of the effects of climate change in Kenya. Additionally Tokyo pledged Sh385 million to help in the restoration of the Mau Forest Complex and other water towers in the country.

Luxury hotel opens doors in Upper Hill

http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/lifestyle/files.php?file=CROWNE_PLAZE_ONE_879839973.jpg
March 3, 2010 - The Crowne Plaza hotel has finally begun operations in Kenya after several months of delay. The Maple Star Hotels Group will run the hotel in Nairobi’s Upper Hill area. The Crowne Plaza becomes the second five star hotel under the IHG stable after the Intercontinental Hotel, and forms part of the group’s expansion plan in the region.

Speaking during the opening on Tuesday, Maple Star Hotels Managing Director Mike Jameson said the new five-star establishment was looking to tap into the growing business traveller market. “We see the major part of our business being occupancy driven given the number of people who are coming into town on business,” Jameson said.

The 162-room business hotel will rely on increased business activity in the area given the number of international companies and embassies in the Upper Hill region. Jameson exuded confidence the hotel would be able to achieve 70 percent operating capacity given Nairobi’s emergence as the regions hub for leisure, conference and business tourism.

“We are not here to fight with anyone, we know that there will be a natural move of specific markets to us because of our location and because of the standards of operation we are going to deliver,” he said. The entry of the Crowne Plaza is timely given the resurgence of the tourism industry, which had taken a major dip following twin effects of the post election violence and the global economic crisis.

Data from the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB) shows that international tourist arrivals for 2009 stood at 952,841 up from 2008 levels of 729,000. This rise in arrivals also saw tourism earnings go up 18 percent to Sh62.4 billion up from Sh52 billion realised in 2008.

2007 remains Kenya’s tourism benchmark year accounting for Sh65.4 billion, with one million tourists gracing its shores. The data also shows most tourists entry point is Nairobi, something Jameson is eager to capitalise on.

Also speaking during the opening, Maple Star Hotels Chairman Nazir Akbarali revealed they were weighing their options on setting up a second hotel in the country. “We are planning to put up a three-star hotel in Nairobi given the demand of such products in the market,” he said adding they were looking for an ideal location to set up the hotel. While the company primarily focuses on city hotels, Akbarali said there was potential in setting up a lodge in one of the country’s game parks.

NSSF to build Tanzanian embassy in Nairobi

The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) yesterday signed an agreement with K&M Archplans Limited to provide detailed designs for the construction of a planned Chancery at Tanzania ís High Commission in Nairobi. The signing was done at the Fundís headquarters in Dar es Salaam by NSSFís Director General Dr Ramadhani Dau and Mr James Kimathi of K&M Archplans Ltd.

Under the new agreement the designers are charged with providing structural details for the planned building before commencement of the tendering process. K&M Archplans Limited has offices in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam The agreement is part of the governmentís long-term effort to minimize administrative costs by constructing and owning buildings housing the country's foreign missions. Already the government owns 17 such premises out of her 32 foreign missions worldwide.

The initial agreement that resulted in the current agreement was signed on February 28, 2008 by Dr Dau and former acting Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Ambassador Abubakar Ibrahim.

The project is estimated to cost 23.4 million US dollars. However, the actual construction cost will be known after receipt of construction bids and detailed design data.(65, 105, 225)"]The government, whose equity in the new project includes the ownership of Plot No. 209/3678 in the up market Upper Hill area of Nairobi , will control 20 per cent of the projectís share capital while the Fund will control the remaining 80 per cent.

The new 26 storey chancery will be built close to the British High Commission and the Embassy of Japan. The construction is scheduled to kick off in September and is expected to be completed by March 2012 before formal handing over in October 2012.

SBC is currently undertaking some of the largest construction projects coming up thus contributing to the changing landscape of Nairobi city. These include expansion of the Aga Khan University Hospital at Parklands, new offices for APA Insurance at Westlands, new shopping complex for Tusky’s Supermarket on Langata Road, expansion of International Livestock Research Institute at Kabete, new office block development at Westlands and upper hill.

Other prestigious buildings projects that SBC constructed are: CfC Stanbic centre on Chiromo Road, Prestige Plaza on Ngong Road, Cross Road Shopping Complex, Africa Institute of Capacity Development (AICAD) at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, and New Parasitic Research Institute at KEMRI.

One project that the company is proud to be associated with is the recently completed Coca-Cola divisional headquarters on Mara Road in Upperhill area of Nairobi. As main contractors, SBC encountered challenging features from the building’s circular design, with all windows facing north, triple volume ceilings, decorative feature walls and modern conference facilities and office fitout. Thanks to the company qualified team and experience in construction, the challenges were overcome with ease and the project accomplished well on time. The successful completion of the Coca-cola project endorsed the believe held by many in the construction industry: that Seyani Brothers & Co (Kenya) limited are Kenya’s leading general building contractors.
