Houses at Migaa Golf Estate, Kiambu County

Wealthy residents at Migaa Golf Estate, Kiambu have rejected cheap houses that are to be constructed in the neighbourhood, claiming that the project is against the residential vision.
In a statement released by Migaa Residents Association (MRA), the homeowners lamented that they were never consulted by the two firms - Home Afrika and Sycamore Pine - seeking to build near 2,000 residential units and also sell constructed villas.
They added that they were notified of the projects while they were in later stages and after the private entities had signed deals with the government to construct the affordable houses.
"The proposed high-rise, high-density and low-cost apartments going by the name Samara Estate will have close to 2,000 units and more than 10,000 residents in 28 blocks of up to 10 floors each.

[li]“This goes against the vision for the estate and the concept that the over 300 current residents and landowners bought into,” MRA stated further accusing Kiambu County Government and officials from the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) of colluding with the private entities. [/li]The cheap houses targeted at middle-class Kenyans are set to comprise a kindergarten, three-bedroom, two-bedroom houses and one commercial block.

Developers, however, argued that the affordable houses would improve the neighbourhood and offer the homeowners workers and support staff.
A report by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) 2020 detailed that Nairobi landlords were shifting focus to constructing affordable and smaller houses as the demand for houses increases, land space diminishes and the cost of living rises.
The developers target middle-class and low-income earners who are flooding the city to make ends meet and also raising the population of the county.
Landlords were reported to be constructing single-rooms, bedsitters and one-bedroomed houses that are appealing to the masses. These affordable houses enable tenants to pay rent and also pay for commodities and satisfy their basic needs.
"The demand for affordable housing is big. The future I see for the medium term is that affordable housing will be the engine that will power the real estate sector, not the upper end,” Housing Finance Chief Executive Robert Kibaara stated in January 2021.

They’re wealthy but they don’t have the political muscle to cancel this project? Sounds like upper middle class hating on middle middle class

Nilikwambia hujapandwa mahali kama mti. You can sell and move to another leafy suburb of that time.

33 staff per home,kwani kila home iko na industry:D:D

10

Hata mimi nakataa,pissants watafutiwe zone yao. Wanaharibu re-sekl value ya pigsty

Wakatae kabisa. Migaa sold them the vision of a serene golf estate with single family homes and that is why they bought the land and built their mansions. Migaa cant just make an about turn and convert the project to a high density one with 1 bedroom highrise flats and bed sitters.

12

Where will their servants stay?

All affluent dwellings have slums next door. At least this is a planned development.

13

Soon majuala zitatapakaa kila mahali, keg na muguka joints everywhere, nduthi gangs,kids kidnappings zitaanza . E.t.c
Wasikubalike huko.

Those fellow birrioneas should follow me tukatafute mahali mbali na Nairobi tuishi huko.

As peasants are getting into Nai, real birrioneas should leave Nairobi. Soon there will be too many of middle class who will then relocate to where the birrioneas are. Kenyan middle class are wannabes.
