Why dustbowl is the future

 1. SGR - the game changer - Did you know that dustbowl will have a whopping 4 SGR passenger stations? This is by far the highest number of stations in any single county. Let me explain how. Ngong and Rongai will be the two main ones. Athi River station, while technically in Machakos, virtually borders Kitengela town, the dustbowl jewel in the crown (in fact IMHO they should have renamed it Kitengela station as the bulk of the traffic will be destined there), so it might as well be a dustbowl station. Emali straddles Both Makueni and dustbowl county so it is "ours" as well. 2. Konza Smart City -yet another gamechanger not just for Kenya but for Africa - is, for all intents and purposes, in dustbowl 3. Almost all the fastest growing towns in Kenya are in dustbowl. Kitengela, Emali, Rongai, Kiserian and Ngong. Rongai alone will be a city in itself within 10 years IMHO. Imagine what impact all those population inflows will have on real estate/land prices in general in the coming 30 years. 4. Dustbowl is the only gateway to Tanzania from Nairobi. This is a strategic advantage that cannot be ignored. SGR of the future (probably phase 3A) to Arusha will have to pass through dustbowl. Tanzania are already building theirs. By 2030 our SGRs and theirs will probably be linked, thanks to the East Africa Railway Development Master plan. Dustbowl will derive huge benefits from this new corridor. 5. Dustbowl is the gateway to several world famous national parks. Amboseli, Kilimanjaro, Chyulu Hills, Part of Tsavo, Serengeti, NgoroNgoro (a world wonder). It also hosts Shompole conservancy, Ngong Hills National Reserve, Lake Amboseli, Lake Chala, access to Lake Natron and Lake Magadi - a unique one of a kind lake in this part of the world. Tourist potential galore that is not even 1% exploited fully yet! 6. Dustbowl has huge amounts of mineral deposits. Soda ash, oil (yes oil!), marble,rubies and so much more that is yet to be revealed 7. Dustbowl has rich untapped agricultural potential as long as there is water supply. Virgin land all over the place. With water all things are possible. 8. Dustbowl has the cheapest land for the most potential all things being equal IMHO. Everyone may love to buy ten acres in Limuru but that could get you hundreds if not thousands of acres in dustbowl for the same price. And Limuru is already well developed so you are paying at the top of the market rather than getting in at the ground floor. Moral of the story; dustbowl is the future.Invest now or forever gnash teeth in bitter regret when you read this thread again 15 years from now (in 2033). Ni hayo maoni yangu tu.

I am yet to use the SGR. What is the economic effect in the towns already covered areas between Mombasa and Nairobi?

I am going to start looking at my plot at Sheikina Gardens favorably. I was regretting owning it but this makes me relax a little bit. The plot is virtually in the middle of Konza and Lake Magadi. I'm so glad I have the title to it

How were you regretting owning such a precious asset, and with clean title too? I am not selling anything I have in dustbowl for at least the next 25 years if, God willing, I live that long!

I bought that plot in 2015 assuming Optiven would develop it (sink boreholes, bring electricity, do the internal murram roads etc) by end of 2017. They are doing it but at a very slow pace. So naturally I was starting to regret early this year. Now I'm beginning to think I made the right move. It just goes to show that the rejected stone usually becomes the corner stone. Interesting
