Upper Hill: Nairobi's Office District

Escort Services · Upper Hill, Nairobi

Upper Hill sits immediately south-west of the Central Business District, on the rise between Haile Selassie Avenue and Ngong Road. Within about two decades it has turned from a quiet area of colonial-era houses and institutional land into the densest concentration of corporate towers in East Africa, and it now holds much of the office space that the old city centre could no longer provide.

Where the Head Offices Went

Banks, insurers, regulators, development agencies and corporate headquarters moved here in numbers through the 2000s and 2010s, drawn by land that was available, central and free of the congestion of the Central Business District. The towers that followed gave Nairobi a second skyline, visible from most of the southern half of the city, and turned Upper Hill into the address a Kenyan company takes when it wants to signal that it has arrived.

A Medical Centre as Well as a Financial One

Upper Hill is also one of the country's most important medical districts. Kenyatta National Hospital sits on its southern edge and several major private hospitals and specialist clinics are within the same few streets, which means the area draws patients, families and medical staff from across Kenya in addition to its office population.

The result is a district that is overwhelmingly busy by day and comparatively empty at night, since very little of it is residential. Hospital Road, Ragati Road and Elgon Road carry heavy weekday traffic, and the Nairobi Expressway passes along its northern side. For a district that barely existed in its current form twenty-five years ago, Upper Hill now anchors a large share of the country's professional working day.
