Don't be too excited about the ksh.1.1bn as the purchase price,there are some details not yet disclosed by Jubilee. Once they are disclosed you will find out that the total consideration Jubilee will pay will be higher than the ksh.1.1bn. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Like he says Jubilee basically bought the land, and the building was thrown in for free. Great great purchase.

I have learnt to ignore the noise. As you say, even if there are other costs eg stamp duty, renovations, extensions, etc and it ends up at 1.5bn... based on the 400mn/acre [supplied by @ericsson] 3.2acres x 400mn = 1.25bn so everything else including the building is for only 250mn! These days in Kiambu (Edenville) there are houses at 25mn each. So JHL is getting a really high quality building (less the land) for 10 houses in Kiambu! It would not surprise me to see Jubilee try to get a couple of diplomatic missions/DFIDs/NGOs/MNCs into the property. Folks who pay in USD/EUROs. If JHL can generate net 150mn net income from this property, it will probably beat most other commercial buildings in UH. An agent I spoke to told me 4-8% yields are the norm in UH.
