Building at scale to support Nairobi’s affordable and social housing agenda: 13 blocks of G+14 and about 2,145 homes.
Construction is actively progressing on Kasarani Social Housing Project – Lot 1, a major residential development in Nairobi being delivered by Concise Projects Limited as the structural contractor.
The development forms part of Kenya’s broader efforts to expand access to decent, secure and affordable housing, while creating well-planned residential communities for households across different income levels.
For Concise Projects Limited, the Kasarani project represents an opportunity to contribute its construction expertise to a development designed to deliver homes at significant scale.
A Development of 2,145 Homes
Kasarani Social Housing Project – Lot 1 comprises 13 residential blocks rising to Ground plus 14 floors (G+14), with a combined capacity of approximately 2,145 housing units.
The scale of the development makes it an important addition to Nairobi's growing residential infrastructure and demonstrates the need for efficient construction planning, structural coordination and disciplined project execution.
The development incorporates both social and affordable housing units, providing different housing options within the wider project.
Designed as a Complete Residential Community
Beyond the residential blocks, the project incorporates supporting infrastructure and amenities intended to create a functional living environment for residents.
Key components include:
- Paved driveways and internal access infrastructure
- Borehole water supply
- Backup power generation
- Perimeter wall and security infrastructure
- 12 retail shops
- A kindergarten
The combination of residential, commercial and community facilities is intended to create a development where residents can access essential services within or around their living environment.
Building Affordable Housing at Scale
One of the defining characteristics of the Kasarani development is its focus on affordability.
Through the Tenant Purchase Scheme (TPS) under the Boma Yangu programme, eligible buyers can access housing through structured payment arrangements rather than relying solely on traditional upfront property purchases.
The project includes a range of unit types across the social and affordable housing categories, including studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
The Boma Yangu project information lists the development as having social and affordable housing options, with units structured under the government's housing programme. This approach forms part of the broader objective of expanding access to homeownership and decent housing for more Kenyans.
Concise Projects Limited: Delivering Structural Excellence
As the structural contractor, Concise Projects Limited is responsible for a critical component of the development process.
High-rise residential construction requires careful coordination across structural works, engineering, materials, safety systems and site operations.
With 13 blocks rising to G+14, the Kasarani development demands a structured approach to construction sequencing, quality control and site safety.
Concise Projects Limited's role reflects its capacity to undertake complex residential developments and deliver structural works at significant scale.
Our focus remains on quality workmanship, safety, efficiency, technical precision and adherence to project specifications.
Construction That Creates Wider Value
Large-scale housing developments have an impact beyond the buildings themselves.
Projects such as Kasarani create opportunities across the construction value chain, supporting professionals, skilled and semi-skilled workers, suppliers, manufacturers, transport providers and other businesses.
Once occupied, the development will also support an ecosystem of retail and community services serving thousands of residents.
For Concise Projects Limited, this is an important aspect of construction: the buildings we deliver become part of larger communities and contribute to the social and economic fabric of the areas in which they are located.
Supporting Nairobi's Housing Needs
Nairobi continues to experience significant demand for decent and accessible housing.
The development of large residential communities such as Kasarani provides an opportunity to address this demand through planned, high-density housing supported by essential infrastructure and community facilities.
The project's combination of social and affordable housing categories also reflects the importance of providing different housing options within the city's expanding residential landscape.
Looking Ahead
As construction continues, Concise Projects Limited remains focused on progressing the structural works and supporting the successful delivery of the Kasarani Social Housing Project – Lot 1.
The scale of the development is a testament to what can be achieved through coordinated planning, technical expertise and collaboration between developers, contractors, government institutions, consultants, suppliers and other project stakeholders.
For Concise Projects Limited, Kasarani is more than another construction site.
It is part of a larger effort to build homes, communities and infrastructure that respond to the needs of a growing Nairobi.
We are proud to contribute our expertise to a project that has the potential to provide thousands of households with access to decent and affordable housing.
