Upperhill, Nairobi’s prestigious district, has witnessed a remarkable surge in land values, with an acre now commanding an average price exceeding KSh 480 million. This surge reflects a broader trend observed across Nairobi’s prime suburbs, where land values have seen substantial growth over the past decade.
According to recent data from Hass Consult, land values in Nairobi’s 18 highest activity suburbs have risen sharply from KSh 30.3 million in December 2007 to KSh 203.7 million in March 2024. Similarly, the average price per acre in satellite towns has surged from KSh 2.4 million in December 2007 to KSh 28.8 million in March 2024.
During the first quarter of 2024, Upperhill emerged as the leader in land values, with an acre fetching an average price of KSh 480.9 million—the highest among all Nairobi suburbs. Despite economic challenges and rising input costs for developers, land prices across Nairobi’s prime suburbs have maintained an upward trajectory.
Satellite towns such as Kiserian, Limuru, and Ongata Rongai have also experienced notable quarterly price gains, recording increases of 9.4 percent, 8.4 percent, and 7.8 percent, respectively. With expectations of declining interest rates in the coming months, land is poised to become even more attractive as an investment.
As Upperhill solidifies its position as a symbol of luxury and exclusivity in Nairobi’s real estate market, the surge in land values underscores the evolving dynamics shaping the city’s property landscape.
