Reportage Properties LLC, through its subsidiaries Reportage Properties Limited and Shree Satya Sankalp (SSS) Developers Limited, has officially launched a groundbreaking real estate venture dubbed “DG JKIA”—a premium yet affordable luxury housing project set to redefine investment opportunities in Nairobi’s property market.
The project broke ground on Saturday, June 7, along Old Mombasa Road, directly opposite Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA). Unlike traditional real estate offerings, DG JKIA introduces a first-of-its-kind hotel-apartment model where investors can own fully serviced and managed units within a luxury hotel complex.
The event was attended by SSS Developers CEO Jay Vala, consortium chairman Elly Owuor, Cabinet Secretary for ICT and Digital Economy William Kabogo, and the consortium’s Special Advisor for Strategy and Communications Benji Ndolo.
“As we turn the soil today, may it remind us of what we are truly building—a future of sustainable investment, elevated living, and architectural excellence,” said Vala during the ground-breaking ceremony.
The DG JKIA development will feature furnished, serviced apartments designed with modern architecture and upscale amenities, including a rooftop lounge, outdoor swimming pool, retail complex, and even a pet-care centre—a rarity in Nairobi’s real estate landscape.
Government officials highlighted the project’s strategic location near the airport as a game changer for both investors and residents. While developments around airports have traditionally faced challenges such as congestion and limited returns, CS Kabogo noted that DG JKIA offers a rare opportunity for high returns within four years.
“Companies and all involved in this project are making Nairobi look better,” Kabogo remarked, pledging to work with the Ministry of Transport to ensure better traffic flow between the airport and the site. “It should not take more than 10 minutes to get here from the airport, even if you miss a flight. Time is money, and this project reflects modern efficiency.”
For investors, DG JKIA promises strong ROI potential and hassle-free property management under seasoned hoteliers. According to Kingmax Mbarire, SSS Developers’ Marketing Director: “We identified a real estate gap in the Kenyan market. This project will change the hotel business in this location, giving investors both lifestyle value and financial rewards.”
With its blend of luxury living, investment flexibility, and strategic positioning, DG JKIA is poised to set a new benchmark for Nairobi’s real estate market.
