The Case for Institutional Land Banking

Land banking is a proven strategy for capturing long-term value appreciation in emerging markets with strong fundamentals.

Limited Supply

Prime development land in Nairobi is finite. Strategic acquisition captures future value as urbanization accelerates.

Infrastructure Appreciation

Government infrastructure investments (roads, rail, ports) drive land values upward in connected corridors.

Development Optionality

Land holdings provide flexibility to develop, sell, or partner with developers when market conditions are optimal.

Inflation Hedge

Real estate historically outperforms inflation, with land often delivering superior long-term returns.

Tax Advantages

Land ownership may offer favorable tax treatment including deferred capital gains and inheritance planning.

Portfolio Diversification

Low correlation with traditional asset classes, reducing overall portfolio volatility for institutional investors.
