Britam Tower, Kenya

Britam Tower, a 200-metre-tall office complex located in Nairobi's Upper Hill, overtook the UAP Old Mutual Tower to become Kenya's tallest building and officially opened to the public in July 2018. The 31-story tower, which began construction in early 2013 and completed in September 2017, boasts a unique prismatic design.

In the broadest sense, the building looks like a black pyramid without a top edge, but from other perspectives becomes a thinner black prism. In 2018, Britam Tower became the first building in Africa to win the Emporis Skyscrapers Award’s 19-year history since it was selected as one of the world's 10 tallest buildings.

It is also the tallest building in East Africa. Britam Tower is a commercial building in Nairobi owned by the British American Investment Company (Britam).
