Fifteen years of building Kenya
A team of architects, engineers, project managers and property advisors with a shared obsession: delivering premium real estate that lasts generations.
From a Nairobi studio to Kenya's skyline
UrbanRise Properties & Construction was founded in 2011 by a small group of Kenyan architects and engineers convinced that the country deserved better-designed, better-built homes and commercial spaces.
Fifteen years on, we operate three divisions — real estate sales, property management and construction — serving private clients, developers, government and corporate customers across East Africa.
Everything we do is held to a single standard: the quality we'd accept in our own homes.
To deliver world-class real estate and construction outcomes for every Kenyan client.
To be East Africa's most trusted premium property partner.
120+ professionals across architecture, engineering, sales and management.
500+ projects delivered. 98% on-time. KES 25B+ developed.
Four principles guiding every decision
Integrity
Transparent pricing, honest advice, every time.
Excellence
World-class delivery on every brief, every build.
Care
Long-term relationships over short-term wins.
