Reportage Kenya is the Kenyan subsidiary of Reportage Group, an international real estate developer domiciled in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The Group has committed to delivering 116 projects globally and has delivered more than 48,101 residential apartments and townhouses across multiple international markets.
For Kenyan buyers, the entry of well-capitalised foreign developers like Reportage Group often translates into access to amenity standards such as swimming pools, spas and dedicated wellness studios that have historically been rarer in the local mid-to-premium segment.
The firm sees Africa as the next frontier of growth, with the number of middle-income earners expected to hit half a billion by 2030.
This pattern of social change will be buoyed by a high rate of economic growth, expected to exceed seven per cent per year over the next decade, about double that of the world’s industrial countries.
