Knight Frank's latest Kenya Market Update highlights the growing importance of infrastructure investment in Nairobi's property market, with improved transport projects creating opportunities for landowners, developers, and investors.

Tilisi is described as one of Nairobi's "fastest-growing residential locations," attracting developers and homebuyers looking for alternatives to congested traditional suburbs.
The wider Tilisi-Limuru corridor is considered one of the areas to watch for investors, along with other potential beneficiaries linked to Kenya's wider transport infrastructure programme, such as the Rironi–Mau Summit Highway, expansion of Waiyaki Way, and the Ngong–Suswa Road.
