UAE-based real estate developer Reportage Group is advancing three residential and hospitality developments in Nairobi valued at more than KSh 6 billion. The company's Group Managing Director, Andrea Nucera, led a senior delegation on a recent visit to Kenya to assess progress on its existing projects and explore potential sites for future developments. The team toured DG JKIA, DG West, and Enzo Residence, which collectively comprise 819 residential and hotel apartments across Nairobi.
The visit provided an opportunity for the group's leadership to review construction progress, engage with its local team, and assess opportunities to increase its presence in Kenya's property market. Nucera stated that Kenya is an important market for Reportage Group, and their experience here reinforces their confidence in its long-term potential. The company intends to focus on developments that respond to changing market needs while incorporating technology and sustainable construction practices.
Reportage Group's Nairobi portfolio includes two hotel apartment developments and one residential project targeting homeowners and investors. Located along Mombasa Road, DG JKIA comprises 273 hotel apartments, with its location providing access to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and the Standard Gauge Railway corridor. More than 90% of the units have been sold, with completion scheduled for June 2027.
The developer's Nairobi projects also include DG West, located along Sports Road in Westlands, which comprises 200 hotel apartments and is under construction. The third development, Enzo Residence, is located in Riverside and features 346 apartments comprising studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units.
