Knight Frank (KF) noted that its index for prime residential property (i.e. the top 5% in terms of traded prices) in Nairobi rose by 2.1% y-o-y in 2Q15. The index had risen by 2.0% since the beginning of 2015 and by 0.9% in 2Q15 alone. Nairobi’s y-o-y rise was the 20th largest of the 35 cities for which KF published data. Nairobi was not included in KF’s ranking of the 40 most important cities for UNHWIs worldwide in 2015, which appeared in its Global Cities survey early this year.
