The East Africa Property Investment (EAPI) Summit is set to kick off next week in Nairobi.
The annual real estate forum is expected to attract more than 16 countries in property development and investment companies, including representation from all EAC members’ state.
The two day event (6th and 7th April) has already attracted more than 300 delegates – which for the first time will hold an accompanying trade exhibition, breakaway discussion rooms and a unique site tour for delegates to view Africa’s third tallest building Britam Tower, currently under construction in Upper Hill.
This year’s summit will discuss real estate opportunities and future potential as East Africa emerges as the fastest growing region on the continent, with its growth accelerating from 5.6 per cent to 6.7 per cent in 2016.
Key topics for discussion during the summit will include real estate financing options, the East African REIT model- including insight on both the I-REIT and D-REIT, the East African projects making headlines, the transformation of industrial property in East Africa, and the affordable housing challenge.
