Members of the National Assembly Committee on Housing, Urban Planning, and Public Works have expressed satisfaction with the progress of the Sh7 billion Nyali Affordable Housing Programme (AHP), while urging contractors to speed up construction works.
The project, which began in mid-February 2025, is now 50 percent complete and is expected to be ready within the next 18 months. However, the committee, chaired by Buuri MP Randikiri Mugambi, directed contractors to complete at least three blocks by August 2026.
The multi-use development project, located on 23 acres of land in the upmarket Nyali suburb, involves the construction of 14 residential blocks comprising studio apartments, two-bedroom units, and three-bedroom units.
The project is expected to help address the housing deficit in the tourist city of Mombasa.
The 14 high-rise blocks are also set to redefine the area’s skyline into a modern vertical city hub. At ground level, landscaped courtyards and pedestrian walkways will connect the blocks.
Besides the housing component, the project also includes an early childhood development institution, primary and junior secondary schools, a market with 1,000 stalls, a commercial building, a community center, a clubhouse, and a wastewater treatment plant.
“This is a housing project that the government promised. This is a project costing Sh7 billion. We will have houses here, schools, a market, a hospital, a police station, a fire station, and playing fields for various sports,” said Committee Chairman Mugambi during an inspection tour of the project.
