@ Kyt, It depends on location, roughly 4 to 10M, got a neighbour who is selling half acre at 10M, asking price "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

I dont know which part of Garden your group intends to build the houses. If its Garden court, we as the residents are determined to ensure it does not happen. We have set standards as an association and we will not allow greedy people to mess around with our life. We have paid dearly to retain the value of our assets and we will go all the way to fight. Thank you Luttz for your comments. But I think you are missing the point. ''Your asset'' is only the specific piece of land for which you have a title deed, not the entire Garden Court, nor even Gardern Estate as a whole. My company owns the land on which we intend to build, just in the same way you own yours. There are laws that govern land usage in this country. Our development plan will be consumatted within the law. Your rights will be protected by the law, just like ours will. There is no point in being emotional - just remember that the law is the standard for all Kenyans, and we intend to follow it. Fortunately, we have learnt that new zoning regulations are on the way. Thanks to everyone who contributed on this subject. I do not need any further advice.

Thanks to everyone who contributed on this subject. I do not need any further advice. Your initial post reads: Wondering if anyone can assist with information in respect of the following matter - a group I belong to planned to put up 18 modern townhouses in Garden Estate Nairobi, each sitting on 0.25 acres instead of the mandatory 0.5acres. The City Council refuses to approve, even though its been granted to others. The development is well researched with all facilities taken care, and we see the City refusal as unreasonable. Does anyone know someone who can assist without having to ask for a bribe?I thought you were asking how to slightly 'bend' the same rules you claim to protect both of you? or did i also get it wrong?

Mwene- zoning regulations are not the exclusive jurisdiction of NCC. Residents associations and stakeholders are having a higher say in these things. Karengata and Runda are just but two examples I can think of, so i think Luttz has a point and you can bet he's not alone. If thats the area you call your home, am sure you'd be thinking differently. So, let's wait.

Let me explain further: Laws (including zoning regulations) are made for a reason, not just for the sake of it. Just as an example -one of the reasons why Garden Estate has the 1970's mandatory limitation of 0.5 acre per single dwelling is because there is no public sewer in the area. So, today if a developer opts to put up a public sewer in the estate, this regulation will be rendered meaningless in the eyes of the law. My company has exhaustively addressed ALL the possible objections behind the zoning law in the area. We can even demonstrate that our development adds immense value to holdings in the area. Our application has to therefore be considered on basis of merit and merit alone. That is what we required the NCC to do, and that is their duty. Otherwise, if we unreasonably stick to archaic laws, the country will never progress.
