Nairobi kicks off construction of 2,720 affordable housing units at River Estate Ngara

Nairobi County yesterday held a ground breaking ceremony for 2,720 affordable housing units at River Estate in Ngara, Nairobi County.

The 3-year project will see the construction of 1 and 2-bedroom houses under the big four housing agenda.

In the programme, a 2-bedroom house will sell at a maximum of Ksh. 1.5 million with the 1-bedroom unit going for Ksh. 1 million.

A bedsitter would be sold at Ksh. 600,000 while a 3-bedroom unit would cost Ksh. 2 million.

In July last year, the government launched a national housing project aimed at constructing half a million affordable housing units across the country by the year 2022.
