As I said on Jon Jones thread where he asked about building a block of flats, listen to Wazoo naysayers at your own peril. Your land is very prime my broda, as you have pointed out, nothing is static, especially when all these bypasses and new highways are being built. Kangemi is also a slum but wait until Waiyaki way expansion is complete. Ask even at present how much an 1/8th is going there already. Build a mixed use..best of both worlds..you can never go wrong especially in such a prime location. My humble two cents. Good luck and WHEN (not if) you succeed, kindly update us!

You had been behaving very well the past two weeks. My suggestion is you keep it that way instead of going back to the "old you" which, as we all know, never ends well when my cyberguns come blazing

@ Moorings,
Be encouraged, brother. There is nothing that a 14 course wall topped with razorwire and electric fence cannot cure in this here our republic.
If Astrol Oil has invested there, clearly they have seen something the naysayers haven't, ama? Please also remember almost every posh area in Nairobi core borders a slum yet their property values keep skyrocketing like google balloons, so that is no big deal.

Great Wazua people, am humbled from your input in support or otherwise - its has been much appreciated. Asante!
I now embark to do a mixed use - 2 levels of retail/commercial and 2 levels of residential, 1 bedrooms & bedsitters after getting approvals for change of user. I believe the mix will mitigate any risks [tenancy uptake] between the 2 categories. Am i on track here? Shukrani sana wote!
