Nairobi City has recently witnessed increased construction of malls, creating an oversupply in lettable spaces and leaving many spaces empty years later after completion.

The empty spaces have been due to the collapse of giant retail supermarket chains such as Nakumatt, Uchumi, Tuskys, Shoprite, among others.
