The growth of Laikipia University and revival of the tourism industry are stimulating the real estate industry in the expansive county. Property prices are trending up as investors cash in on the growing demand for housing and commercial space.
Nyahururu in Laikipia County is frequented by marathon and cross-country runners on practice before major events due to its high altitude, feeding off from neighbouring Rift Valley counties. “Investment possibilities here are commercial, residential and institutional developments like hostels, health facilities just to name a few,” says Cathy Achola Warega, the Chief Executive Officer of Urbanis Africa.
