As urbanization accelerates, sustainability has become essential to addressing city growth challenges. In East Africa, Centum Real Estate is leading this movement, focusing on creating environmentally friendly, cost-effective housing options that pave the way for sustainable and accessible communities.
Economic Advantages of Green Housing
Green housing has demonstrated a clear impact on lowering living expenses. Centum RE highlights that these homes can reduce operational costs by up to 30%, offering tenants an annual savings comparable to one month’s rent. By situating green buildings close to key amenities, services, and public transportation, Centum RE also cuts down transportation expenses, enhancing convenience for residents.
Environmental Impact and Cost Savings
With support from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Centum RE estimates that green buildings across Kenya could collectively save up to USD 5 million annually. This is achieved through sustainable construction methods and efficient technologies, such as aluminum formwork, which reduces both building time and costs. These practices not only lower environmental impact but also make green housing affordable to a broader market.
Accessible Financing for Green Homes
Centum RE has made sustainable homes even more accessible by offering favorable mortgage and financing options tailored for both buyers and developers. This effort supports homeownership and encourages a culture of sustainability that extends beyond the immediate community.
A Commitment to Green and Affordable Housing
With a strong dedication to positive change, Centum RE has committed 70% of its portfolio to green, affordable housing. By adopting rigorous green building standards, Centum RE is creating a legacy of sustainable development that aligns with global environmental goals and regional needs. The company invites you to invest in this sustainable vision, making green living an accessible reality.
