ANTICIPATED SURGE IN HOUSING DEMAND: UNFPA Staff Relocation to Nairobi's Diplomatic Zones


The UNFPA's announcement regarding the relocation of staff to Nairobi is expected to significantly increase the demand for housing in the Green and Blue Diplomatic Zones. This move, which involves relocating approximately one-quarter of the New York Headquarters employees to Nairobi by 2027, will begin with around 2,000 employees moving by July 2025.


With the current diplomatic community in Gigiri, consisting of over 20 embassies, along with the existing UN workforce and the anticipated influx of employees from the Two Rivers International Financial and Innovation Centre, there is likely to be a surge in housing demand in the next 1-2 years in the surrounding of UN.


This announcement coincides with the completion of more than 700 additional residential homes around the UN by the time the first group of staff relocates. This presents an attractive opportunity for rental return for our property investors.
