Developer & Project Implementation Support
We provide end-to-end legal support for real estate developers ranging from boutique companies managing developments of under 200 units to large-scale corporate developers undertaking mixed-use projects with thousands of units. We are currently leading legal implementation for two major parastatal-led projects involving the acquisition and development of prime land in Nairobi and Kisumu, with over 2,000 residential and commercial units planned under mixed-use schemes.
Our legal services for developers span the entire project lifecycle, including:
- Structuring development vehicles (SPVs, JVs, PPPs)
- Legal due diligence and title verification
- Negotiating land acquisitions and leases
- Securing approvals and compliance with planning and zoning regulations
- Sale, lease, or transfer of individual units
- Project financing and end-buyer financing support
We also advise on the legal and regulatory framework applicable to developers under key statutes such as:
- The Land Act
- The Land Registration Act
- The Sectional Properties Act
- The Physical and Land Use Planning Act
- The Housing Act
- The Environment and Land Court Act
Strategic Government Involvement
Our firm is actively involved in Kenya’s transformative housing agenda:
