On June 23, 2020, the National Environment Management Authority invited comments from the public on two high-rise projects in Nairobi's Kilimani area.
Realtor Ever Forgarden is embarking on a second project with four 15-storey blocks hosting 900 apartments in Kilimani. The project, which includes 240 studio apartments and 660 one-bedroom apartments, will be built on Kindaruma Road in Nairobi.
Ever Forgarden had previously announced plans to put up 257 units on four high-rise blocks in the area, with the first two blocks comprising three-bedroom units and the other two accommodating one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.
Another developer, New Forhome Company, has also expressed interest in putting up 240 units on two blocks rising 15 floors. The development will feature a mix of residential apartments and parking bays.
The developments appear to be addressing a rising demand for functional small spaces among young families, students, and expatriates keen on living in their own apartments in the capital city.
