Current position

Land secured. Approvals in place. Organised demand visible. Capital partially aligned. This is not a speculative land story — it is a structured transaction.

Masterplan

Phased delivery, ring-fenced by design.

The full platform covers 1,148 units across six phases. The current proposal focuses on Phase 1 and Phase 2 only, allowing capital to enter a defined tranche while later phases remain isolated until they are ready.

Masterplan overview.
Location

Mlolongo, Nairobi–Mombasa corridor

Roughly 12 km from JKIA, inside a major logistics and employment zone with daily commuting logic and corridor-specific housing demand.

Scale

1,148 units across 6 phases

Phase 1 includes 196 units and Phase 2 includes 187 units, for a current 383-unit programme.

Delivery logic

Ring-fenced SPVs per phase

Each phase is structured as its own entity to control contamination risk and enable phased exit.

Demand

NACHU-linked and corridor-driven

Tenants are originated and underwritten through cooperative channels, supported by strong local workforce demand.

Why it works

A real site, a structured plan and visible demand.

Mlolongo sits inside the Nairobi–Mombasa logistics, airport and industrial corridor. That geography matters because it produces real paying demand, not hypothetical absorption.

  • Land controlled through the platform
  • Regulatory approvals secured
  • Incremental six-phase development
  • Rent-to-own compatible offtake logic
  • Dual exit pathway: SPV sale or unit sales
Capital logic

Capital enters a defined transaction, not a vague pipeline.
