  1. This is completely inappropriate for Watamu. The tiny town does not have the infrastructure to support it. Environmentally, it will stick out like a sore thumb. Better to place it in Malindi or Mombasa.

  2. Hi Anita,,, i must say the coastal towns are now getting the business environment touch they deserve. With the resort city coming in Lamu, this is one idea I support. AFter all, it will be a super office location for the many businesses that will have offices in Lamu resort city and the port. With short direct flight to Lamu, this is one ripe idea.

  3. Hi Anita
    This is a fantastic project for Kenya. I am wondering when such rich developers will come to Kampala and help us with such wonderful developments?

  5. It should NOT be given approval – a disaster for Watamu! There is NO NEED for such a building at all.
