Prime Location – 4th Ngong Avenue, Upper Hill, Nairobi

88 Nairobi rises above Upper Hill β€” Nairobi's most concentrated corporate district β€” placing residents within walking distance of the city's most active business, financial, and diplomatic corridor:

  • Upper Hill business district β€” walking distance

  • Nairobi Hospital β€” close proximity

  • Kenyatta National Hospital β€” nearby

  • Leading corporate headquarters and financial institutions β€” immediate vicinity

  • Nairobi CBD β€” minutes away

  • Ngong Road and major arterial routes β€” easily accessible


Why Invest in 88 Nairobi?

Africa's tallest residential building is not simply a height record β€” it is a complete lifestyle proposition built around the approximately 40,000 corporate executives working in Upper Hill who have long needed a world-class walk-to-work residential address. The development's vision, conceived by Lordship Africa founder Jonathan Jackson, was to create a residential masterpiece that surpasses international standards in both architecture and opulence β€” and the building delivers on that vision floor by floor.

Nine heated pools, Turkish baths, a sunset deck at 34 floors, a sky bar at 44, a helipad at the summit, and fully furnished units with world-renowned brand furnishings place 88 Nairobi on par with the finest five-star residential developments globally. The studio category's sold-out status confirms that the market has validated this vision at the earliest and most accessible price point. For buyers seeking the remaining unit types β€” from Executive apartments through to customisable penthouses β€” this is an opportunity to own a piece of African real estate history in a building that will define Nairobi's skyline for generations.

Demand Context for Eighty Eight

Eighty Eight sits in the Riverside market, where apartment demand is supported by Nairobi Expressway, Waiyaki Way, Riverside Drive and Westlands Business District and shaped by corporate tenant demand, executive rental demand, expat rental demand and family housing demand. Because this is not a completed-unit decision, also compare developer delivery, construction progress and payment milestones before relying on demand alone.

Verification status

Buyer Safety Snapshot

Off-plan buyer checks needed

Quick answer

Eighty Eight should be treated as an off-plan decision until the buyer has checked developer context, construction progress, payment milestones, completion assumptions and the documents behind the project.

Main risk

The buyer may commit before the project evidence, developer track record and payment schedule are clear enough.

What to verify

  • Current price, availability and the exact unit or property being offered.
  • Seller, developer or agent authority to share documents and receive instructions.
  • How the asking price compares with similar properties in the same area and buyer use case.
  • Whether payment instructions, reservation terms and refund terms are written and consistent.
  • Developer track record, construction progress, payment milestones and completion timeline.

Documents to request

  • Title, mother title or ownership documents relevant to the property type.
  • Official search or written direction on how the buyer's advocate should confirm ownership.
  • Seller ID, company documents, developer profile or authority-to-sell documents where applicable.
  • Draft sale agreement, letter of offer or reservation terms before payment.
  • Written payment instructions and receipts process before any funds move.

Who it suits

Buyers who like the location and payment-plan upside, but still want to test construction and developer risk before reserving.

Who should be cautious

Buyers being pushed to reserve before seeing project evidence, developer context or written payment terms.

Advisor verdict

Treat Eighty Eight as a project decision, not only a unit decision. The safer path is to check the developer, payment milestones, construction evidence and completion assumptions before a reservation or deposit.

Best next step

Review off-plan risk

Use before reserving, paying a milestone or relying on completion projections.

Start this review

When to pause

  • Payment is requested before documents, seller authority or payment instructions are clear.
  • The price looks attractive but comparable options have not been checked.
  • A buyer is pushed to reserve quickly without time for advocate review.
  • Construction progress, completion dates or payment milestones do not match the sales story.
