Now this will be a landmark 39 floors storey smack in the middle of the city.interesting that they are constructing 31 floors on top of a 8 floors building d'oh!

The tower will be constructed atop the existing eight-storey Hazina Trade Centre building that currently houses the Nakumatt Lifestyle Hypermarket store on Nairobi's Monrovia and Mokhtar Daddah Streets.
