  • Consolidation in Kenya's Banking Sector to Continue, & Cytonn
    Consolidation in Kenya’s Banking Sector to Continue, & Cytonn Weekly #06/2019 Real Estate I. Industry Reports During the week, Broll Kenya, a property services company, released their Nairobi Retail Report H2’2018, which highlighted a slowdown in the retail market performance. The report noted that landlords embarked on offering rent concessions aimed at drawing tenants to their vacant spaces in addition to taking a cautionary approach by leasing smaller spaces to more than one anchor tenant, following the fall of local giant, Nakumatt Holdings, which was a sole anchor tenant in several retail spaces. The key take-outs from the report include: i. The market recorded a 5.0% increase in supply of retail space to 5.7 mn SQFT as at H2’2018, from 5.4 mn SQFT recorded in H1’2018, attributed to the opening of spaces such as The Well in Karen, which brought into the market 77,371 SQFT of space, ii. The sector recorded a 6.0% points y/y increase in occupancy rates in H2’2018, and this was mainly attributed to the take-up of space that was previously occupied by Nakumatt Supermarkets, in addition to the entry of new international retailers primarily from Europe, across the fashion, sportswear and hypermarket categories, iii. In terms of the market share of supermarkets within Nairobi, Tuskys Supermarket had the highest percentage of market share of approximately 23.0%, while Naivas and Foodplus Supermarkets came in second and third with a market share of approximately 20.0% and 11.0% in H2’2018, respectively, and, iv.
