The Mombasa Homes Expo is organised twice a year by Unique Homes Magazine with the aim of showcasing variety and providing solutions within the real estate/property development sector in the East African region.

This, according to Mwenda Thuranira, the director of MySpace Properties Ltd. (the sponsor of the event), is a clear indication of the growing appetite for property investments in the coastal region.

“The fact that more people have shown interest in the event which showcases the potential, opportunities, and latest designs in housing means that players in the industry have stepped up their game,” said Mr Thuranira.

During the event, investors will be exploring ways of maximizing their potential by trying to catch up on modern building technology.

Exhibitors include financial institutions, project developers, interior and exterior decorators, construction agencies, furniture makers, marketers, and general suppliers among others.
