Parking space has been factored into the design. Glass half full. Please think positive. Is traffic around KICC terrible?
Lets think mathematically, assuming everyone in the building and the surrounding with the privilege of driving leaves at 5, and given that the roads will not expand, how will that traffic be?
The traffic flow will not be any different than it is now because the available parking space in the basement will be optimumly utilised just as it is happening now...Although the tower will be constructed there will be no corresponding increase in parking space...
In the early stages fo development, the civil engineers persuaded the Nairobi City Council to make monrovia and mokhta daddah street single lanes which they did...but NCC made a very stupid mistake...introducing side parkings along these roads...This is why most of the times there is traffic jams along koinange street even when the university way is clear!!
I believe those who will be parking there will eventually leave for other businesses, supposing they all leave at five baada ya kazi, how messy will the roads be esp if we are to believe that the 500 who currently park there work in the vicinity? Traffic will def be a mess....but thats the Kenyan way of doing things...we'll react later
Lets not forget... there is a Heliport... they thought of everything... 
How many will be landing there yawa

There is a building being constructed around upper hill, from far it looks like the tallest building in town. I don't see this hazina house catching up Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...

@mbobiz, I think the one in Upper Hill is the KCB HQs.
The Upper Hill elevation is higher than that one of CBD hence the appearance of the buildings there seeming taller than those in the CBD. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

@Kaigangio, When is the lease agreement with Nakumatt expiring? That’s when they should do the construction or otherwise pay Nakumatt for the remaining term. There is no way construction can continue when building is under occupation.

@Limalika
This seems not to be the case. Read a story featured in the Nation sometimes back. http://www.jambonewspot....reated-nairobis-skyline/
"Among my most technically complicated projects, Lonrho House takes the cake. When I got the deal to do the house, there was a two-storey structure on site which had existing tenants who were not expected to move out of their premises or close shop. We had to construct the house around and over them as they went on with their daily duties."
Also the story in the star newspaper seems to suggest that construction will proceed while clients go about their business. http://www.the-star.co.k...nssf-sh67billion-project
"Justus Kathenge, the assistant director of city planning in charge of enforcement said the contractor, China Jiangxi International Kenya Limited, should indicate the modern technology they will use in the construction of the 39-storey structure to avoid affecting current tenants, including Nakumatt supermarket"
It will be interesting to see how this goes

If the Lonro house was constructed ‘around’ an existing building, then it might have been easier to deal with. In the present case, the building occupies entire plot beacon to beacon and they have to use the existing columns. If the existing tenants will remain during construction, it will be very interesting indeed to see what technology they are going to employ to guarantee safety.
