Court cases bogged them down , secondly just like Konza Technopolis the concept looks good on paper but may We may only embrace the concept in 5 - 10 Years time.

Which Project? Do you read Papers? Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Personally i thought the ADB bank loan of sh 16Billion ( which if am not wrong was signed off )to do a dam to supply water to Konza is a very significant development atleast

LOngonot gates is up and running.Ther have been doing the roads,boreholes and are now doing the showhouse.For me this is a more plausible venture that may see completion if you compare it to the Tatus,Buffallo hills etc You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it fearlessly.

I think that their speed is Pretty good. The Project started an year and half ago and they have covered what Thika greens did in 4 years.

With the slow down in real estate unless you are blind;those houses will be ghosts Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
Wealth=Income + Investments - Lifestyle

I am considering buying one (apartment or the 1/4 acre plots), the reasoning being that its strictly controlled high end development, that will maintain high value in the longterm - looking forward like 20 years. It should be a good investments once complete with well planned shopping complex, hotels, entertainment facilities etc. Am I missing something or am I too optimistic?

If you toured that area of tatu city it has the feel of Sandton City SA. Google the the pics from 1970's. Sandton eventually cannibalized and replaced the Jo berg CBD as banks, hotels and lawfirms moved. Private municipalities is where Africa cities are headed. As Kidero has shown don't depend on Nairobi county govt, by the time you clear your mortgage you will living in a slum. Next couple of decades the diplomatic green zone around 2 rivers/runda, Tatu city and Kenyatta's Northlands will form one work/play chain for the affluent. The rest will survive in a Lagos like slum-city.

If Tatu city can house a fraction of such stores, then it’s a great investment to buy early within their project area. Your perspectives are quite insightful – that controlled development within city is a mirage with the leaders like Kidero and city county government. Now I see the well planned affluent developments starting from Infinity Industrial Park to Northlands City to Tatu City to Two Rivers/Runda. I think Northlands will be pricey such that Tatu city will seem like a bargain.

Quote:The latest land price index released by real-estate firm Hass Consult yesterday showed Juja, 32.5 kilometres from Nairobi, saw prices appreciate by 45.2 per cent in the year to March, with an acre going for an average of Sh11.1 million.
Ruiru, which is on Thika Road and adjacent to the Eastern Bypass, recorded a 44 per cent increase, with an acre fetching Sh23 million.
Limuru, which is set for new road link, on the other hand recorded a 41.6 per cent increase over the period, with an acre of land fetching Sh21.3 million. Ruaka on the Northern Bypass recorded a 31.2 per cent increase with an acre going for Sh80.5 million in the period under review. http://www.businessdaily...02726-7imslu/index.html
 the urban landscape continues to evolve. The following upcoming road projects spell doom to the Nairobi CBD; the western bypass, waiyaki way-Redhill link, dualling of Northern and Eastern bypass and missing link between Ring-road parklands and Thika road at Muthaiga. The next Nairobi governor better know his stuff
