What Mi Vida Homes does

Mi Vida Homes is a Kenyan residential real estate developer incorporated as Mi Vida Thika Road Limited, headquartered at Garden City off Exit 7, Thika Superhighway in Nairobi. Founded in 2012 and operating with 51–100 employees, the company develops and sells apartments and townhouses across Nairobi, with a portfolio spanning four completed developments (Garden City Residences, Mi Vida Garden City, 237 Garden City Phase 1, and KEZA Riruta Phase 1, which delivered 154 units in 2025), five projects currently under construction (Amaiya, 237 Lulu, KEZA Laika, KEZA Riruta Phase 2, 237 Garden City Phase II), and two recently launched projects (108 Westmont, 156 Elara). Pricing ranges from KES 2.7M studios at KEZA Riruta to KES 34M+ luxury units at 108 Westmont, with multiple payment options including cash, installments, and mortgage financing.

The company's product strategy centers on large master-planned urban ecosystems, principally Garden City and Tatu City, which provide integrated live-work-play amenities. Mi Vida operates the Mi Vida mobile application (available on Apple App Store and Google Play) and a web-based Client Portal that handle construction updates, maintenance requests, ownership updates, amenities booking, and online payments. The Mi Club referral program adds a customer-acquisition layer. Several developments are LEED and IFC-EDGE certified for sustainability, including Amaiya and KEZA Riruta.

Mi Vida generates revenue primarily through direct residential property sales, supplemented by recurring property and asset management services for investors and rental yield facilitation (advertised dollar-denominated yields of 8%–18%). Capital structure includes project-level institutional investors (HIS, Utabibu Investment, and a local pension fund) participating in KEZA Riruta Phase 2. The company is currently privately owned by private equity firm Actis, though in October 2025 the Mi Vida Homes management team announced plans to acquire the company from Actis. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the company website, two experience centers (Garden City and KEZA Riruta), and a property advisor sales team.
