NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug 12-More than 300 home buyers have received keys to their houses from Vipingo Development Limited following the completion of Phase 1 of the Palm Ridge Estate in Kilifi County.
The Sh1.5 billion housing estate comprises 330 units of one, two, and three-bedroom four-story apartments priced at Sh2.5 million, Sh3.5 million, and Sh4.6 million respectively.
It marks the second major residential estate development by VDL, a fully-owned subsidiary of the Nairobi Securities Exchange Listed Centum Investment Company PLC, and increases to about 400 the number of homeowners within the 10,000-acre master-planned development that has residential, commercial, school, and industrial districts.

It is suitable for residence or holiday home and is also an excellent investment for rental and short-stay vacation homes (Airbnb).
Buyers enjoy a flexible payment plan of 20% on the letter of offer and the balance before completion date.
Besides the residential estates, industrial and commercial nodes are under development on the sprawling land that was previously a sisal plantation.

There is also reliable water and power supply.
