Land prices in Nairobi’s prime suburbs remained at long-term highs in Q4 2025, recording an annual growth of 5.9% and extending the city’s strongest run of land price increases since 2016, according to the latest Hass Land Index. The gains were driven by demand in high-end areas such as Karen, Kilimani, Kitisuru, Gigiri and Runda, reflecting renewed investor interest in premium city locations.
Meanwhile, satellite town land prices cooled sharply, with annual growth slowing to 6.2% by the end of 2025 from a peak of 12.6% in 2024, signalling a return to normal growth levels after a multi-year surge. HassConsult said the shift points to a rebalancing of the market as investors move away from previously overheated satellite towns back to established urban suburbs.
