The Eastern bypass that links Mombasa Road and Thika Highway has continued to spur development along the route. Numerous businesses have opened up along the 15-kilometer stretch. But even more remarkable is the number of middle class homes that have already been built in the area as others keep coming up. With the ongoing dualling of the road to tame the traffic congestion that has plagued it since it was opened, the area is likely to see even more development.
Among the developers that have taken advantage of this rapid growth is Verified Real Estate Limited, a fairly young real estate company that works with partners to identify high-potential areas and oversee the development of quality middle class homes in the greater Nairobi region. Verified Real Estate is already enjoying overwhelming success with its earlier projects in the vicinity of the Eastern and Northern bypasses, with most units of its developments snapped up even before completion.
Now, together with its development partner Bright Shine Housing Limited, Verified Real Estate has embarked on its biggest project yet in the same area. Dubbed EasternVille, the sprawling 100-acre master planned estate promises to be among the most stylish and lavishly designed of its developments yet. The first phase comprises 390 units of 4-bedroom villas, set on spacious grounds with generous allowance being made for social facilities, unlike many other large developments that utilize every inch of the available space to put up units. EasternVille residents will enjoy amenities such as a 24-hour Day Care Centre and a Sports Arena featuring basketball, tennis and volleyball courts; a football pitch; a children’s play area; a skating rack and a leisure park spread over 3 acres.
EasternVille has clearly been designed with the family in mind, with the typical aspirations of any family – comfort, security and a sense of community – well catered for. This has been achieved by dividing the estate into courts holding an average of 28 units each. The contemporarily-designed houses feature a semi open-plan kitchen with the all the bedrooms ensuite. The villas also boast a rooftop terrace and a family room to complete the essence of a family home, with functional and bright spaces all through the villa. The construction is already ongoing with the official launch date set for mid-May.
For homeowners and investors, there is hardly any risk of their property losing value from unplanned high-rise developments given that EasternVille is surrounded by properties of comparable quality.
All the vital social amenities are within easy reach from EasternVille. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, SGR Nairobi terminus, major malls and other facilities can be reached from EasternVille in 30 minutes or less.
