Times Tower Officially Dethroned As Kenya’s Tallest Building By The New Skyscraper In Upper Hill (Photos)

Times Tower held the title ‘Kenya’s tallest building’ for 15 year but now the crown has gone to a new skyscraper in Nairobi.

Times Tower which stands 140 meters tall has been dwarfed by UAP Old Mutual Tower located in Upper Hill.

Kenya’s tallest building now has a height of 163 meters making it the third tallest skyscraper in the African continent.

UAP Old Mutual Tower was officially opened for business yesterday. The 33-storey skyscraper offers 300,000 square feet of Grade-A office space and 25,000 square feet of retail space. 50 per cent of the building has already been occupied.

But all is not lost for Times Tower; Even though UAP Old Mutual Tower is taller than Times Tower, it only has 33 floors compared to Times Towers’ 38 floors.
