KENYA: Nairobi has the highest number of shopping mall development hot-spots in Sub-Saharan Africa, a new report says. Global property consultancy firm Knight Frank in a report titled Shop Africa 2016 notes that Nairobi’s 470,000 square metres of shopping space in the pipeline ranks above other peers in Sub-Saharan Africa’s retail markets.
Five other cities with the largest shopping centre development pipelines outside of South Africa include Angola’s Luanda, Nigeria’s Lagos, Tanzania’s Dar es Salaam and Mozambique’s Maputo.
