Financial investment company Britam is ready to let its
32-storey Tower in Upper Hill, Nairobi, barely eight months after the
firm completed constructing the building.
Rising 195 metres, Britam Tower is the tallest skyscraper in East and Central Africa and the third tallest on the continent.
Its construction started in 2013 and ended in September 2017 at a cost of Sh7 billion.
“Britam
Tower is ready to let following the completion of the building late
last year,” said Britam Group Managing Director Benson Wairegi.
Located in the upmarket Upper Hill area, the ultra-modern tower
has a total lettable space of 350,000 square feet with 1,000 parking
bays and is ready for occupation by diplomatic missions, multinationals,
private companies, and financial institutions.
The
skyscraper comprises two separate buildings, one a 32-storey office
tower and the other a 15-storey parking silo with an interlinking bridge
at the top-most floor which offers alternative means of evacuation
during emergencies.
It also boasts of unique features
such as earthquake resistance technology, modern fire safety provisions
including pressurised fire escape staircases, and state-of-the-art fire
detection and fighting equipment.
An advanced security surveillance system was also put in place and is monitored on a 24-hour basis to boost security.
