Developer Unveils Sh30bn Gated Estate in Kiambu

Property developer Superior Homes has unveiled a Sh30 billion gated estate in Ruiru, seeking to address the rising demand for modern houses in Kiambu County and its environs.

Sitting on a 300-acre coffee farm, 12 kilometres off Thika Road from the Kimbo area, the 10,000-unit estate, to be known as Kofi Ridge, features beautifully designed three-bedroom townhouses, four- and five-bedroom bungalows, and five-bedroom villas.

Individual units at Kofi Ridge are priced from Sh23.06 million.

The development offers a range of amenities, including a security barrier gate, internet connectivity, paved cabro roads, reliable electricity and water supply, solar-powered street lighting, 24-hour security with regular patrols, and spacious gardens for outdoor leisure.

According to Superior Homes chief executive Shiv Arora, detailed attention has been given to every aspect of the Kofi Ridge design, from architecture to the finishes and amenities.

“We are excited to also get this opportunity to not only invest but also offer our products to investors within Kiambu County,” Mr Arora said during the project launch on 5 October. 

Superior Homes has developed notable estates, including Greenpark and Fadhili Retirement Village in Athi River, Pazuri at Vipingo, and Lake Elementaita Mountain Lodge in Nakuru.

The company, which is also developing Lukenya Wildlife Estate in Machakos County, will clear the coffee farm in phases over the project’s 25-year completion timeline. 

“We shall be replacing similar land size consumed in real estate with other agricultural activities in other areas,” he said, countering claims that the project threatens agriculture.

Kofi Ridge aims to create a community for residents to socialize and enjoy its amenities. 

“With a focus on security, privacy, and proximity to essential amenities, it is the perfect choice for those seeking a high-quality lifestyle away from the urban hustle,” says Ian Henderson, the managing director of Superior Homes. 

The project comes at a time when the country’s real estate market is projected to reach a value of Sh103.7 trillion by December, according to Statista Real Estate Kenya report. 

Residential real estate leads the market with a projected volume of Sh85.3 trillion. 

The market is projected to grow annually by 5.18% from 2024 to 2029, reaching a value of Sh122.5 trillion by 2029, driven by rising demand for housing due to rapid urbanisation.
