A NEMA notice means a developer has filed a study report; it is not an approval, a building permit or proof that construction has started. Last checked 10 Nov 2026.

What we watch in Kenya real estate
We track four things each week. New NEMA filings in the Kenya Gazette show which large projects are coming before marketing starts. Bank disclosures on the cost-of-credit portal show whether mortgages are getting cheaper. REIT reports show what investors are earning from rent. And quarterly price indices show whether buyers are paying more or less.
When an official source changes, we update the tracker and note the date. If you spot an error, tell us through the directory form and we will check it against the record.

Who the Kenya real estate hub is for
Home buyers can compare an asking price with the suburb average, check the developer behind an off-plan project and see what a loan will cost at each bank. Tenants can test whether buying beats renting at today’s rates. Investors can follow REIT values and payouts and see where new supply is coming. Developers, lenders and agents can check that their own projects and rates are shown correctly and send corrections.
