Kenya has a rapidly growing population and a significant shortage of housing. There is more than $47 billion of projects under construction that includes four mega real estate developments.
Kenya has Africa’s fifth-largest economy and the second-largest in East Africa. Kenya’s population of 54 million makes it the seventh most populated country on the continent resulting in a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita of more than $1,800 (2019).
