Demand for office space in Nairobi is getting back to the pre-pandemic levels as employees begin to fully return to the office.

According to real estate services consulting firm JLL, Nairobi and other East African gateway cities of Dar es Salaam, Kigali and Kampala, have all witnessed a recovery in demand for office spaces, thanks to a gradual return in business confidence, which is expected to drive increased occupier activity throughout 2022.
