316 Upper Hill Chambers (Completed) 316 Upper Hill Chambers is a 104-metre, 26-storey tower located on 2nd Ngong Avenue in Upper Hill, about 2km from the old Nairobi central business district . The newly-built skyscraper has joined the exclusive list of tallest buildings in Kenya, ranking ahead of the Nairobi GTC Residential Tower 4 and the Social Security House – which closes the 17-member list of city buildings with a height of more than 100 metres. Owned by Upper Hill Chambers Ltd., which is associated with renowned city lawyer Fred Ngatia, 316 Upper Hill Chambers Tower boasts 26 floors comprising three basement parking floors; ground floor; mezzanine floor; five upper parking floors; and 15 Grade A office floors. 88 Nairobi Condominium (Under Construction) At 218 m, 88 Nairobi will be the tallest residential building in sub Saharan Africa and the third tallest building in Africa, unseating it's towering neighbor Britam Towers (200.1 m) . Britam towers is currently the tallest building in east and central Africa after unseating the UAP towers in Upperhill. A two-acre plot of land at the intersection of Bishop’s Road and 4th Ngong Avenue in Nairobi’s Upper Hill district is about to be transformed into a 44-floor condo tower termed 88 Nairobi Condominium, the first of its kind in east and central Africa. Its developer, Czech-based Kenyan billionaire Jonathan Jackson, has finally received City Hall’s clearance and the site is currently a bee hive of activity. This will become the 18th building above 100 m in Nairobi city. “Kenya is becoming the hub of investment in the sub-Saharan Africa. Lordship Africa is responding to this trend and the resultant demand for quality residential units,” he said. Other buildings lined up for the Upperhill district of the CBD include, "The pinnacle " currently on hold due to court cases and "The one Nairobi" currently proposed. The two will unseat 88 Nairobi Condominium, Carlton centre (south africa) and the leonardo (south africa) to become the first and second tallest buildings in Africa.
