Superior Homes Launches New Development in Northlands City

Real estate developer Superior Homes Kenya has launched their latest master-planned gated community, dubbed The Orchards at Northlands, within Northlands City, marking another milestone in Kenya’s evolving residential landscape.

Sitting on 25 acres, the new development will comprise a total of 130 units featuring 3-, 4-, and 5-bedroom townhouses and villas, each thoughtfully designed to offer privacy, comfort, and lasting value.

Located within the expansive Northlands City project near Ruiru, The Orchards at Northlands leverages one of Kenya’s most anticipated new urban developments. Its strategic location, connected to the Eastern Bypass and Thika Superhighway, and within reach of Nairobi’s key commercial and lifestyle hubs, positions it as a high-potential investment destination for both homeowners and institutional investors seeking long-term value.

According to Knight Frank’s H1 2025 market update, rent in prime residential areas in Nairobi rose by 8 percent year-on-year, signalling sustained demand for quality developments that combine design, accessibility, and robust infrastructure. Similarly, satellite towns such as Ruiru and Kiambu continue to register steady land price appreciation, buoyed by infrastructure upgrades, gated community projects, and expanding middle-class demand.

Speaking during the launch, Ian Henderson, Managing Director of Superior Homes Kenya, noted that the project is a deliberate response to the changing dynamics of Kenya’s property market.

“Homebuyers today are not just looking for a house; they are looking for a complete lifestyle supported by security, amenities, and connectivity. This project brings together thoughtful design, robust infrastructure, and a location that promises sustained growth and value appreciation over time. It’s a development created for both modern families and forward-looking investors,” said Henderson.

Across Nairobi’s metropolitan area, master-planned residential communities have continued to perform better than standalone projects in both occupancy and resale value. This success comes from their strong infrastructure, reliable security, and well-thought-out design.

The Orchards at Northlands brings these same advantages to life through a mix of elegant townhouses and villas designed for families and long-term residents. The community offers a complete work, life, and leisure lifestyle experience, with modern amenities such as a fully equipped gym, shopping facilities, children’s play areas, a school, and nearby health facilities, making it a convenient, secure, and comfortable place to live and invest.

Additionally, the development incorporates structured mortgage options and developer-backed financing, aimed at improving accessibility for buyers and deepening investor confidence through enhanced market liquidity. As Kenya’s real estate market grows, projects like The Orchards at Northlands show a new trend toward well-planned developments that combine modern design, strong infrastructure, and long-term value for investors and homeowners.
