Kisumu, the third largest town in the country, has in the past, despite its economic potential, failed to attract impressive architecture and commercial buildings.
Another such structure is the University of Nairobi building (formerly British Council building), located along Oginga Odinga Street. Currently, the university is constructing a 22-storey building that seeks to make it the highest structure in the lakeside city.
Kisumu is slowly becoming centre of architectural excellence in the western Kenya region as developers put up some of the most prestigious developments in its history.
This, coupled with increased investor confidence in the lakeside city, has easily earned it a place as one of the most sought after investment destinations.
