We are throwing it back to last week's East Africa Property Investment Summit, where our Founder and CEO, @Samirpatel together with industry leaders and stakeholders discussed the future of real estate not only in Kenya but also across East Africa. From sustainable practices to the emergence of dynamic hub cities like Nairobi, here are five key insights we at #WorkableNBO gained from the summit:?
- Kenya's Potential as a World-Class City: The East Africa Property Investment (EAPI) summit showed Kenya's potential to become a world class city. By highlighting Kenya's strong economy, the summit reinforced Kenya's position as a key player in the regional real estate landscape.?
- Nairobi stands out as a dynamic city in Africa: ?With educated and hardworking residents, plus better infrastructure, it's becoming a centre for innovation and growth.?
- The East Africa's Private Business is resilient: Local companies like #WorkableNBO exemplify this strength by delivering world-class real estate solutions; by offering? innovative flexible working spaces that provide an environment where established firms, SMEs and startups can collaborate.?
- Growing Demand for Sustainable Practices: The summit highlighted the changing landscape of workspaces, showcasing a growing demand for sustainable practices. Landlords are aligning with global goals and meeting tenants' preferences for eco-friendly structures. This shift emphasises the importance of integrating environmental considerations into future projects.
- Importance of Data Sharing for Efficiency:?Developers should prioritize sharing essential project data like the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) to contribute to the development of a comprehensive database. This database will serve as a valuable resource for sector players and stakeholders, providing insights for estimating future project costs and ultimately fostering efficiency and sustainability in the industry.
