Kisumu City is currently ranked among the top destinations for property investment due to its strategic location.
Ounga Commercial Agencies Director Erick Ounga says as a property consultancy, the company places Kisumu above the rest as a destination worth investing in.
Mr Ounga said Kisumu is endowed with numerous facilities that can spur growth and development.
“We have the lake, airport and railways, what else do you need to be able to come and invest in Kisumu? This is enough,” he said.
He says many people continue to invest in Nairobi abandoning Kisumu.
He noted that the negative notion about the city was now changing and many investors were keen on putting up structures in the lake side city.
He said he has traveled widely to see what other countries offer in real estate development around the world.
Ounga said Kisumu has the potential that must be nurtured to put it on the edge of the world.
“I am making this appeal to residents of Kisumu who are out in other cities in the country or outside the country, please come and invest back home,” he said.
Victoria Gardens Estate, an investment developed by Ounga Commercial Agencies is the largest middle-income housing development in Kisumu with an envisaged 91 housing units.
