Eldoret town is arguably an economic hub for the entire North Rift region – from hosting among others an international airport, a regional pipeline as well as a key transit town for neighbouring countries – Uganda and South Sudan.

By now, I guess you know that Eldoret is the fastest growing town in Kenya, and currently the fourth most populated urban centre in the country after Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru and Ruiru with a population of over 475,000 people as per the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census.

Even though the town, which is the capital of Uasin Gishu County does not have many skyscrapers, there are a few worth mentioning.

Here is a short preview of the top 5 tallest buildings in the city of champions:

5. National Bank

This is a building that houses the National Bank, Eldoret branch among other offices. It is located next to the Uasin Gishu County Government headquarters – along the Uganda Road, and is at the centre of a controversy over the county’s plan to purchase it at a cost of over Sh500 million.

National Bank is the fifth tallest building in Eldoret with 6 floors with a height of 21 meters.

4. White Castle

White Castle is among some of the oldest buildings in Eldoret town. Its construction was completed in 1980 and was named after a popular hotel – White Castle that offers among others accommodation and a restaurant.

The building which has 9 floors with a height of 31 meters also hosts Mahindi Hotel among other businesses.

It is located at the Eldoret main stage, just opposite Central Police station along the highway.

3. Kiptagich House

This building has for a long time been linked to former President Daniel Moi’s family. It has the same height and number of floors as that of White Castle – 9 floors and 31 metres high.

Kiptagich House hosts some of the key government installations in Eldoret town – Central Bank and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) North Rift regional offices.



The building also hosts one of the two Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) branches in the town.

It is located just towards the end of Eldoret CBD, also along the highway.

2. KVDA Plaza

KVDA Plaza is a twin-wing building owned by the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA). It is located just next to the Uasin Gishu County Headquarters, opposite the National Bank building.

Until 2016, KDVA was the tallest building in Eldoret town. The Eastern wing that was completed around 1980 has 16 floors with a height of 55 meters while the second wing, completed in 2019 has 14 floors.

KVDA Plaza hosts offices for a number of government institutions such as the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), Communication Authority (CA), The Commission on Administrative Justice (The Ombudsman), The Attorney General’s Office, NACADA offices as well as a number of county offices and the headquarters of KVDA.

1. Daima Towers

Also known as the Moi University Pension Scheme building, Daima Towers is the tallest building in Eldoret town today, and also ranks among the top 30 tallest buildings in Kenya at number 12 along with Nairobi’s Sanlam Tower that was completed in 2018.

It was constructed through the funding of contributions from members of the Moi University Pension Scheme.
