The project is the second under the KEZA brand, following KEZA Riruta, where Phase I is sold out and operational, while Phase II broke ground on 28 February 2026.
KEZA Laika will comprise one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments targeting Kenya’s growing middle- and upper middle-income segments seeking quality housing in key urban nodes.
The development signals Mi Vida’s entry into Kiambu County, an area increasingly positioned as a residential extension of Nairobi under the Nairobi Metropolitan Master Plan.
Speaking at the launch, Mi Vida Homes CEO Samuel Kariuki said the project reflects the firm’s strategy to expand into high-demand satellite locations.
“Ruaka has evolved into a key urban corridor, yet there remains a gap in the quality and design of housing for the middle- and upper middle-income market. KEZA Laika is designed to bridge this gap while delivering long-term investment value,” he said.
Set on 3.7 acres, the development will feature landscaped gardens, co-working spaces, social lounges, a gym and children’s play areas. It is located near Two Rivers Mall, Village Market, Karura Forest and Nairobi’s CBD.
Mi Vida projects rental yields of over 9 per cent, positioning the development as an investment opportunity for both homeowners and institutional buyers.
The launch comes as the firm concludes development within the 47-acre Garden City masterplan and pivots towards expansion into secondary urban nodes.
Mi Vida Homes has a pipeline of approximately 5,000 units as it seeks to tap rising demand for quality housing across Kenya’s urban centres, with KEZA Laika serving as a flagship project in this next phase of growth.
