The Nairobi County Government has dismissed reports claiming that the title deeds for the Pangani Affordable Housing Project and Jeevanjee Bachelors Estate are missing.
In a statement, Nairobi County Secretary Godfrey Akumali reassured the public that the title deed for the 5.2-acre Pangani estate land, registered as Nairobi/Block 40/474, is secure and under proper custody.
He explained that the title deed is currently held by Muriu, Mungai, and Company Advocates, representing Nairobi Pangani Estate Limited, the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) overseeing the project.
Akumali further clarified that the Pangani Estate’s certificate of lease was first registered in the name of Nairobi City County on March 16, 2018, and later transferred to the SPV on September 20, 2018. He emphasized that no title is missing or lost.
Lydia Mathia, the Chief Officer for Urban and Housing Renewal, provided an update on the progress of the Pangani Affordable Housing Project, confirming that construction is currently 45% complete.
The developer aims to complete the project by the end of 2026, with partial handovers scheduled every four months, starting in January 2025.
Regarding the Jeevanjee Bachelors Housing Project, the county confirmed that the title deed for the estate, registered as LR No. 209/5458, is safely held by the National Bank of Kenya.
This document was used as collateral to secure financing for the affordable housing initiative and is registered under Nairobi Bachelors Estate Limited, another SPV managing the project.
Mathia also provided an update on the Jeevanjee project, noting that it is 46% complete, with affordable housing units set for completion by December 2025, and market units to be finalized by September 2026.
