Nairobi County Secretary Godfrey Akumali assured the public that the title deed for the 5.2-acre Pangani estate land, registered as Nairobi/Block 40/474, is still secure.
According to Akumali, the document is now held by Muriu, Mungai and Company Advocates, a law firm that represents Nairobi Pangani Estate Limited, the project’s Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV).
“The firm is facilitating the processing of sectional titles for the housing units being developed on the property,” Akumali clarified.
“The certificate of lease for Pangani Estate was registered in the name of Nairobi City County on March 16, 2018, and later transferred to the SPV on September 20, 2018. No title is lost.”
Lydia Mathia, Chief Officer for Urban and Housing Renewal, said that development on the Pangani Affordable Housing Project is 45% complete.

Regarding the Jeevanjee Bachelors Housing Project, the county acknowledged that the National Bank of Kenya holds the estate’s title deed (LR No. 209/5458).
The document was registered with Nairobi Bachelors Estate Limited, another SPV administering the project, and served as collateral for funding for the affordable housing effort.
Mathia presented an update on the Jeevanjee project, noting that it is 46% complete.
“The affordable housing units will be ready by December 2025, while market units will be finalized by September 2026,” she noted.
