Hacienda Development Limited

Kenyan registered/owned development company with a focus on “eco-friendly” developments in Kenya and over 25 years in housing/construction

They couldn’t have chosen a more fitting name because the development of an eco-city in Kenya’s tourism hub of Mombasa is the country’s first and probably the boldest in this part of the world.

Mimicking the beautiful haciendas of the Spanish countryside, the developers are looking to something even more spectacular - the design of the buildings will make best use of the sun, wind and rainfall to supply the energy and water needs of the residents and will also involve planting of more than 10,000 trees to complete the picture.

Works have already begun and hacendados (or hacienda owners) are buying into the prime real estate, having seen a sample house in this complex that will consist of a hospital, school, playgrounds and recreation facilities, a police station, commercial centers and office blocks, among others.

It will be entirely powered by green and electricity will come from solar or wind sources. Wetlands will be transformed to harvest, biologically treat, and recycle runoff water for household use.

In total, 6,250 housing units will be built in a 5 year period on the 500 acre development and each would cost the equivalent of between US$35,000 and US$ 65,000, cheaper by any means than similar construction elsewhere.

Mombasa is a popular tourist resort in East Africa, and an eco-city project like the Hacienda will surely add to its already inviting profile of white beaches, wildlife and welcoming, friendly people.
