Chinese Firm Opens Sh5bn Sultan Palace Estate in Kilifi
The project was conceived by Wimberley Allison Tong & Goo.
China Jiangxi Construction Company has completed construction of the highly awaited Sultan Palace Beach Resort, a Sh5 billion residential complex in the Kikambala area of Kilifi County, which is set to host some of Kenya’s wealthiest characters and visiting billionaires.
Sultan Palace, initially scheduled for completion in December 2016, sits on a 43-acre beachfront in Kikambala – 25km from Mombasa and has been the target of a host of super-rich Kenyan investors seeking to acquire holiday homes.
The 200 housing complex comprises Sh80 million villas that face the Indian Ocean, Sh36 million standalone townhouses, as well as three-, two- and one-bedroomed apartments priced at between Sh10 million to Sh20 million respectively.

Sultan Palace will also feature a resident club, cafe, gourmet restaurant, beach bar, health club, and a five-star hotel that will be built on the remaining 23 acres.
“The houses provide rich tourists with a holiday home that is also an investment,” China Jiangxi assistant project manager Howard Hu said in a statement.
“We shall link the houses to the soon-to-be-built hotel complex on the remaining 23-acre parcel of land.”
Sultan Palace was conceived by globally renowned Wimberley Allison Tong & Goo (WATG), with Nairobi-based Planning System Services as the project architects.
The development joins a host of other high-end properties in Kilifi including Bofa Beach Resort, Kilifi Bay Beach Resort, Kilifi Creek Villas, and Baobab Sea Lodge.
The projects are in line with Kenya Vision 2030 whose flagship ventures include the establishment of resort cities in Kilifi, Diani, Lamu, Isiolo and Turkana, to optimise the tourism potential in these areas.
