LAPFUND is making strides with its flagship property development in Kenya: Bellevue Park. This expansive project, featuring 2,356 apartments, is currently under construction in the South C suburb of Nairobi, near Mombasa Road and the Nairobi Expressway. This development follows LAPFUND’s ongoing project in Kisumu City, known as Makasembo.
Unlike LAPFUND’s previous initiatives, Bellevue Park aims to offer a distinctive experience, as explained by Harriet Kuria of Southfront Properties, the marketing firm for the project. “Bellevue Park Residences is set apart from LAPFUND’s earlier developments like Makasembo Apartments and LAPFUND Gardens by its design, amenities, and overall concept.”
Bellevue Park emphasizes modern, luxurious architecture designed for urban living, featuring high-end Italian kitchen fittings, expansive windows, and balconies that showcase breathtaking views of Nairobi. The development also boasts premium amenities including biometric security, powered lifts, fully equipped kitchens, four boreholes for water supply, a health center, and a daycare and kindergarten for children, all set within beautifully landscaped grounds that combine residential and retail spaces for added convenience.
Bellevue Park targets an upscale, urban demographic with a mixed-use development model that caters to professionals, families, and business owners, thanks to its central Nairobi location.

INITIAL PROJECT WOULD HAVE BEEN LARGER, WITH RETAIL SPACE, OFFICES AND CONFERENCE FACILITY
According to Project Architect Isaac Waweru (pictured here in his site office), the development was initially designed as a massive mixed-use property complete with shopping areas, offices, serviced apartments and a conference centre. “However, the project was scaled down following the Government’s acquisition of about half of the land for BRT development.” This necessitated fresh designs.
“Given the volume of units, we had to strike a balance between density and developer returns to achieve a good living environment”, says Arch. Waweru. “We maximized on openings for light, ensured that units are externally oriented for natural ventilation and rationally arrived at spacing between blocks.”
