The 37th Kenya Homes Expo opened on April 25, 2025, at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, marking a pivotal moment in the nation’s quest for sustainable housing solutions. The four-day event, which runs through April 28, has brought together key players from the real estate, construction, and environmental sectors to address Kenya’s housing challenges, with a focus on climate change and sustainability.
The theme of this year’s expo Building a Greener, More Affordable Future emphasizes the need for collaborative efforts to tackle the ongoing housing crisis while preserving the environment. Daniel Ojijo, Executive Chairman of Kenya Homes, delivered a powerful message during the opening ceremony, stressing the importance of unity in addressing the nation’s housing needs. “The housing crisis in Kenya can only be addressed through united initiatives and sustainable practices,” Ojijo stated. “Our commitment today is to explore innovative solutions that will not only meet current housing demands but also protect our environment for future generations.”
The event showcases a variety of exhibitors who are presenting cutting-edge technologies, eco-friendly designs, and sustainable building materials. This platform is designed to encourage collaboration among industry experts, policymakers, developers, and environmental advocates to discuss critical issues related to green construction, renewable energy integration, and sustainable urban planning.
With Kenya’s urban population rapidly growing, the expo has become a vital space to discuss affordable housing solutions, which is a core component of the government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). The conversations at the event focus on balancing the increasing demand for housing with the need to safeguard Kenya’s natural resources.
Government officials, architects, real estate developers, and financial institutions are among the distinguished guests in attendance, all working toward forging partnerships and developing strategies that ensure affordable housing solutions for all Kenyans. The Kenya Homes Expo 2025 is positioning itself as a transformative force in shaping the future of housing in Kenya, one that embraces sustainability while addressing the pressing needs of its growing population.
