The UN Is Moving to Nairobi — Here’s Why You Should Invest Now An Advisory by Numa Real Estates KE

Nairobi is on the brink of a historic transformation. With UNICEF, UN Women, and UNFPA set to relocate their global headquarters to Gigiri by 2026, joining UNEP and UN-Habitat, our city is set to become the fourth United Nations capital of the world — alongside New York, Geneva, and Vienna.

 

This isn’t just good news for Kenya. It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity for investors who act quickly.

 

📌 A Surge in Diplomatic Demand

The relocation will bring:

800+ new UN staff members in the first wave

Thousands of dependents and support staff

 

Delegations and agencies traveling frequently to Nairobi

Each of these individuals will require secure, modern, high-end housing near the Gigiri UN complex. Historically, such professionals receive generous housing allowances ranging between Ksh 150,000 – 400,000 per month, fueling strong demand for premium properties.

 

📈 Why Timing Is Everything

The diplomatic neighborhoods of Gigiri, Runda, Rosslyn, Muthaiga, and Kitisuru already have limited supply of high-quality housing. New developments take 2–4 years to deliver, meaning that by the time the UN expansion is complete, demand will far exceed supply.

For investors, this means:

Rental yields projected to rise 20–30% in the next three years

Property values set to appreciate significantly as demand spikes

The best properties are being secured now, before the rush begins

 

💡 The Proven Investment Playbook

Short-term: Buy today, position your unit for UN staff rentals at premium rates.

Medium-term: Enjoy consistent occupancy from a reliable, high-income tenant base.

Long-term: Capitalize on appreciation and exit at peak demand around 2028–2030.
