Phase I of KEZA Riruta comprised 154 residential units, all of which were sold and handed over to investors in November 2025. Since completion, investors are currently achieving up to 30% return on investment, driven by strong rental demand and sustained occupancy levels.
Phase II will introduce 480 new residential units, scaling the KEZA masterplan to meet growing demand within Nairobi’s mid-market housing segment.
The groundbreaking of Phase II follows the validated success of Phase I, where strong rental absorption has reinforced KEZA’s positioning as both a livable community and an income-generating asset.
KEZA Riruta is strategically located off Waiyaki Way, within a short commute to Westlands and Nairobi’s key commercial hubs, making it attractive to working professionals and long-term tenants.
Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony, Samuel Kariuki, CEO of Mi Vida Homes, noted that the expansion reflects confidence in the project’s fundamentals rather than speculative growth.
“Phase I demonstrated what disciplined execution and strategic location can achieve. The returns our investors are currently experiencing reflect real market demand, not temporary market conditions.”
Kariuki emphasized that delivery credibility has become a defining factor in today’s residential market.
“In an environment where investors are more discerning, performance matters. We delivered 154 units on schedule, and the market has validated the product through strong rental uptake and investor returns. Phase II is a continuation of that proven model.”
Phase II’s 480 units will be delivered within the broader KEZA masterplan, which continues to attract both individual buyers and institutional investors.
Mi Vida Homes has increasingly integrated structured institutional participation into its growth strategy, ensuring financial stability, disciplined development cycles, and sustainable community formation.
“Our focus is to scale responsibly. Each phase must stand on its own performance before we move to the next. Phase II builds on a foundation that has already proven itself,” Kariuki added.
In 2025 alone, Mi Vida Homes delivered 494 residential units across its portfolio, including:
154 units at KEZA 340 units at Garden City, Nairobi.
This track record continues to strengthen Mi Vida’s reputation as a reliable, delivery-focused developer within Kenya’s residential market.
Nairobi’s growing professional population and proximity-driven rental demand continue to support well-located, mid-market developments. KEZA Riruta’s connectivity to key employment nodes positions it as a sustainable long-term asset within this demand cycle.
The launch of Phase II signals Mi Vida’s continued commitment to providing structured, high-quality housing solutions aligned to real market needs.
