It depends on the Location.

Apartments in Lavington going for over 10 million get buyers.
How many 10 million bob apartments can you build on one of those plots ?

The profile of buyers of such property is mainly made of people working in NGO world and high level businessmen.

I always wondered too, I know a friend who is looking for such a plot at the moment and she aptly puts it this way, 'nataka plot nitajenga nyumba ya kijaluo kweli'

yes they do get buyers otherwise how do you think the prices have risen over the years from 3m to over 25m in places like runda.actually come to think about it, runda,muthaiga are the only well organized suburbs with the proper services and the housing is of similar class unlike other places where you buy a plot and you put up a good home and the guy next door builds a not so good house.So your values cannot sustain or grow and on top of that you have to deal with no so great services(roads,sewer,piped water etc).
I would like to hear people's comments here if you had the cash lets say 20m where would you buy?

I would buy where I can buy and build and still have left over money for investment. I would not blow the whole 20m on a plot!!!

@itz, Commercially thinking, an 1/8 of an acre along waiyaki Way (up to 3rd row) in Kinoo is costing around 6M. The same plot can hold 16 units of 2 bedroom Flats, fetching 20k in rent per month. Even though the balance would not finish up the work, where there is a will a way can be found.

All those plots get buyers.. The thing is they may take a while but eventually they are usually sold. From our property database 0.9acres with a 4 bedroom house in Lavi-Amboseli goes for 80M http://www.propertyzote....on%2C+Nairobi-1337.html ItZ what size of a plot are we talking about.@madhaquer you are spot on,location does matter. The other lucrative option you would be surprised, for example I have had a some clients who opt for a Joint Venture with a developer. Plot Valuation becomes your equity..the developer then puts up apartments or office blocks. Upon sale of the properties you split the proceeds as per equity ratio. Lucrative i may say.

i have a pal who has a well located plot. he was not even thinking of selling it. somehow some fellows went to ardhi house or ccn and got his details, and made him a good offer. if location is good, you will get a buyer.

I think this business of planting trees is over rated and over simplified. First, which trees of economic value will grow in Kajiado. Second, forget selling to KPLC, they are now using concrete poles. Third, how will you safeguard your investment to make sure your trees are not harvested while you are away. Me thinks I would buy a plot and develop it with the cash or buy in a strategic location and wait for the money to come to me.

I think so.... trees are overrated. I planted some I bought from Karura in 06 and I made to understand they mature within 7-10 years. The last time I checked, they were very thin and don't look anywhere near maturity.

Plots will always get a buyer, no matter the price tag. Location is Key as it dictates the application. e.g. if you want to put up a petrol station, a plot on the 3rd row is useless. You need one next to the road

I am a developer and I also sell plots but one things I have noted business people just do their maths and if it makes sense to buy a plot even for 50M, they'll do so. There is something we call investing for 'cash flow' purposes and that is what guides most of these real estate investments. Personally I'd not mind such a plot if it makes business sense. Another thing that people fail to capture is an 1/8th in Kinoo going for 6M in comparison to 1/2 acre in Karen at 20M, the former is more expensive when u look at the size vs the cost.

It depends on your perspective. To make a million, you will usually find that you need to spend 0.5m; to make 10m, you need to spend 5m. Unless you are going to steal, invent something or inherit, that is how wealth is created.
