Largest Construction Company To erect Africa’s Tallest Building in Nairobi

[Kafrican]

Tallest building in Africa.. baada ya siku mbili unasikia Misri na wao wanajenga tallest in Africa baada ya mwezi South Africa wanajenga tallest in Africa. In short hii race ya kuwa na tallest building huwa ni ya kitoto maana kila siku wana announce majengo mapya..

Hilo tallest in the world muda si mrefu litapitwa..

Tujiulize je yana tija kwa mkulima wa kahawa na mahindi.. je yanasaidia maskini wa mijini kupata makazi bora?? Tujiulize....

Ukiangalia hapo Ni towers mbili, hio moja fupi ya gorofa 40 itakua Ni 5 star hotel... Kila siku watahitaji Mayayi elfu jadhaa, maziwa fresh lita elfu kadhaa, kuku Mia kadhaa, Samaki fresh kutoka Bahraini, Nyama ya komodoo mbuzi, ngombe, sungura.., Majani ya grade A ya chai, Mikate, mboga , vitunguu,tomato kwa wingi, spices Kama mdalasini...nk..... Itakua Ni biashara kubwa Sana kulisha hoteli ya orofa 40 hata kwa siku moja Tu.

Huku Kenya wakulima na wafugaji wenye mazao madogo kama vile maziwa huungana Na kuchanganya mazao Yao alafu wanauza kwa pamoja kwa kampuni au hoteli kubwa kubwa kwahivyo sio lazima hoteli iende kutafuta mkulima mmoja mmoja hadi ijaze order

Kila mtu anajua buying local is cheap.. hata hapa Tanzania wanafanya hivyohivyo, sio jambo jipya.

Lakini nachelea kuona ushabiki wa kijinga kwenye nani anajenga jengo refu kuliko mwenzie.. by the time hilo jengo lipo nusu probably South Africa watakuwa na wao wame announce jengo refu kuliko hilo..

Sasa kama competitive edge ya hilo jengo ni kuwa refu kuliko yote basi inakuwa imepotea.. inaishia kuwa jengo refu la kawaida tu na sio refu Africa..

Ndo maana nikasema kama hayo majengo hayasaidii kuondoa adha ya makazi kwa watu masikini wa mijini hamna chochote kipya..

Yea, It is one Company

Nope. They're two very different companies.

Mkuu unaconnect vitu viwili ambavyo havihusiani..... Jengo refu zaidi ni sifa tu... Hata ukienda international forums utaona newyork , Dubai, Hong kong, seol zinashindana kwa majengo marefu zaidi duniani.......

Hata nyinyi hapo Tz mlipojenga TPF mlijisifia kua litakua jumba refu zaidi hapa EA, halikumaliza hata mwaka mmoja, jumba la UAP hapa kenya ilichukua hio nafasi...... ni jambo la kawaida kusifia jengo kama ni refu zaidi... hata shuleni mwanafunzi hupewa sifa kwamba yeye ndo aliibuka namba moja kwa mtihani na hupata sifa lakini haichukui mda mrefu kabla mwanafunzi mwengine atachukuahio nafasi na sifa humwendea yeye hadi atakapo shindwa na mwanafunzi mwengine ...



Tukirudi kwa hilo jengo, hata kama SA watajenga refu zaidi, bado hilo la Nairobi litakua na sifa zake kama vile urembo, uzuri wa ndani(interior) na bado litakua refu hapa EA na litakua na sifa ya hoteli ndefu zaidi Africa nzima ..kwahivyo bado litakua na sifa tele so haijalishi, bado wakulima na wafanyikazi mia kadhaa ndani ya hayo majengo watafaidika, kwa kazi na pia kuuza bidhaa zao... tena isitoshe kwavile kila baada ya miezi miwili kuna jumba lipya linaanza kujengwa, mafundi na wajenzi wanapata kazi mfululizo..

Wakulima kama hawa- hivi unajua kwamba Kenya wanakunywa maziwa kuliko nchi yoyote ya developing world? wakulima wadogo wadogo (ambao ni 80% ya wakulima wote) wanakusanya maziwa na kuuzia kampuni au hoteli kubwa kubwa ..

ANGALIA hio video uone vile maziwa yanatoka kwa mkulima mdogo kabisa kutoka mashambani hukoo ndani ndani na yanafika hadi kwa miji mikuu nchi nzima

Ok brother, hata huku tz kampuni kama Azam, Asas na Tanga fresh hukusanya maziwa kutoka kwa wananchi nchi nzima na tunayapata hapahapa mjini bila shida.. and as I said there is nothing new considering that scenario.

Nilitaka watu washughulishe akili zao na wajiulize, je haya majengo marefu yana tija tukizingatia uchumi wa watu wa chini in general?.. I mean je sera za serikali zetu kwenye ishu kama makazi zinazingatia uwiano sawa wa makazi ya bei rahisi na haya ya kifahari, je majengo marefu yanayoinuka kila siku mjini yanaenda sambamba na upatikanaji wa makazi bora na ya bei nafuu kwa watu wa chini maeneo ya mijini?

Naogopa sana pale ambapo tutakuwa na oversupply ya skyscraper na undersupply ya ordinary homes na tukaishia kwenye ghost cities kama China.

Kuhusu construction jobs hazitakuja kuisha as long as Afrika bado inajengwa.. swala la kujiuliza wanamjengea nani?

Because Nairobi is building faster and taller than Joburg.

World's largest construction company to build Africa's tallest development
Quote:
Oil marketing firm Hass Group announced today that it has signed a 20 billion Kenya shilling agreement to build the tallest building in Africa with China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), currently ranked the largest construction company in the world, Hass Towers, a mixed use development is set to be complete in 2020, and be located Upper Hill, Nairobi.

The Honourable Mr John O. Odipo, the Counsellor of Kenya’s Embassy in China, and the Commercial Counsellor of Kenya’s Embassy in China, The Honourable Mr Vincent E. Omuse attended the official signing ceremony held at the five-star Kempinski Hotel, Beijing, on 28 February.

Also attending the signing ceremony were the Chairman of Hass Petroleum Group, Mr Abdinassir Ali Hassan; Vice Chairman and Co-Founder of White Lotus Inc., Mr Sita Ramachandra Raju Poosapati; Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations, Mr Li Mingguang; and Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations, Mr Zhang Zhiping.

In his speech, Mr Hassan, Hass Group Chairman, described the signing as an ‘historic’ event andcongratulated CSCEC on winning the contract after a long negotiation and tender process. He said: “It has not been an easy road. [CSCEC] went through a rigorous tender system which they won over ten international companies including European, Turkish as well as other Chinese competitors.

“Hass Group awarding the contract to CSCEC demonstrates a stronger growing economic partnership between the Chinese government and the Kenyan government, and is a testament to Kenya’s economic and political stability. This project will give CSCEC a majestic entry point into Africa.”

Mr Li Mingguang, Vice President of CSCEC Overseas Operations said: “This will be the tallest building in Africa and become a landmark in Kenya. It is sure to drive regional development, promote economic growth, and attract more investment and tourism into Kenya. China State Construction understands the importance of this grand project and is honoured to be chosen as the main contractor.”

Construction of the foundations for Hass Towers is due to start in April this year, when the project will officially launch in Kenya. Once complete, the development will include Grade A offices, a five-star Hilton hotel, plus a luxury retail and entertainment complex. Standing over 300 metres high with 67 storeys, the tallest tower is designed to represent ‘the height of African achievement’, considerably taller than the current record holder, the Carlton Centre in South Africa (at 50 floors and 223 m tall).

Kenya is one of Africa’s fastest growing economies with strong growth in its agricultural, tourism, construction and telecommunication sectors. The project is conveniently located just 16km from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, in Nairobi’s growing financial hub of Upper Hill, where many embassies and international organisations have set up their regional offices. These include Cisco Systems, World Bank and the IMF.

Eeeh, that golf course is very busy, you can hardly see as there are very many trees. If you use Lower hill road, past the site of Montave, Before Rahmitullah Gate peep through the trees, you will see guys playing golf especially on weekends
