Skyscrapper buildings along Wayaki Way, Westlands.[File,Standard]

At the junction of Kenneth Matiba, formerly Accra Road and River Road in Nairobi’s city centre, stands a 69-year-old building.

It is only two floors up, and probably because it is that old and has stood the test of time, there is no name in front, but it is fully occupied by all kinds of businesses, ranging from those selling electronics, farm tools and other equipment.

On the same line but along Latema Road, another building with similar features was recently brought down to pave the way for the construction of a modern business tower at the busy intersection.
