Our purpose

Affordable homes.
Thriving communities.
Inspired living.

At Jamiitown, we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful, well-designed home — not just a place to stay, but a space to grow, connect, and belong.

Our mission is to create high-quality, affordable housing that supports real people and real lives. More than just buildings, we design gated communities where neighbors know each other, kids can play safely, and daily life feels good.

From thoughtfully planned estates to smart rental services and sustainable construction, everything we do is rooted in community, accessibility, and long-term value.

People behind the places

Story & the team
behind Jamiitown.

Jamiitown was founded by Armando Ernesto Passuello, a Swiss architect who fell in love with Kenya’s beauty — and saw its urgent need for quality, affordable housing. Inspired by the contrast between European construction and local shortages, Armando set out to blend world-class design with deep community impact.

What started as a vision is now a growing reality — powered by a passionate, multi-talented team.

We’re proud to work with an in-house team of:

Architects & Engineers
Urban Designers & Interior Stylists
Construction Specialists & Site Managers
Craftsmen & Sustainable Innovators

Each person contributes their skills, ideas, and heart to every home we build. We work like a family — united by a mission to make better living accessible for all. Together, we are building not just houses, but hope, connection, and opportunity.

Jamiitown

One vision.
Many branches.

From designing homes and building estates to managing rentals and leading innovation in sustainable construction — Jamiitown is a family of companies working together to reshape how we live, build, and grow in Kilifi.

01 / Real estate developer

Jamiitown Development

We design and build high-quality, affordable homes in secure gated communities. Our mission is to make modern, well-designed living accessible to all — and our estates on Kenya’s coast bring that vision to life.

Jamiitown Rockwave ↗

Our upcoming development of 278 units is located in Shariani, just 600 meters from Vipingo Beach. Rockwave offers homes designed for living, renting, or investing on the coast. The range includes 2-bedroom bungalows, 3- and 4-bedroom maisonettes, and 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. Planned amenities include swimming pools, a fitness center, green spaces and a clubhouse, with facilities being completed in phases as the estate develops. Jamiitown also provides estate and individual property management, alongside guest services.

Jamiitown Oceanpark ↗

Our second project, now in its final development phase (Phase III), sits just 400 meters from the stunning Bofa Beach. Oceanpark has 100 units; Phases I and II are completed and sold out, with full completion scheduled for March 2027. The range includes 2 to 4-bedroom homes with rooftop gardens and private courtyards. It’s designed for both buyers and vacationers, with expanded amenities like a sports bar, hotel, parks, and football field. Oceanpark combines lifestyle and investment — offering off-plan purchase options and high-end vacation rentals in a prime coastal location.

Jamiitown Origin ↗

Our first estate, located in Mtondia just 5 km from Kilifi town, features 74 homes — all sold out. Origin introduced our signature style: concrete-framed houses with Swiss-inspired design, local materials, and practical layouts. Now available as fully furnished rentals, the estate includes amenities like a pool, gym, shop, park, and concierge, fostering a relaxed, community-based lifestyle.

02 / Property & guest management

Jamiitown Homes

Our hospitality and estate management arm offers fully furnished homes for short-term and long-term rentals within Jamiitown communities. We serve travelers, families, and remote workers with hotel-like comfort — including concierge service, cleaning, and maintenance.

For homeowners, we also provide professional property management, ensuring each unit and the entire estate remains well-maintained, secure, and fully serviced. From landscaping and repairs to utility coordination and amenity upkeep, our team makes owning a home in Jamiitown completely hassle-free.

03 / In-house design & construction

Enhotech

Enhotech is Jamiitown’s dedicated in-house construction company, created to ensure every home we build meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and design. By having our own construction arm, we maintain full control over the entire building process — from planning and materials to execution and finishing.

We emphasize durability, cost-efficiency, and architectural integrity, using a blend of Swiss engineering principles and local expertise. Our teams work with locally sourced materials and labor, supporting the Kilifi economy while reducing environmental impact.

Enhotech doesn’t just build houses — we build reliable, long-lasting homes that reflect Jamiitown’s promise of excellence and trust.

04 / Charity organisation

Jamiitown Foundation

At the heart of Jamiitown is a deep commitment to giving back. The Jamiitown Foundation is our social impact branch, dedicated to improving lives in the communities where we build and operate.

We focus on housing support, education access, and environmental care — ensuring that our success also uplifts others. From donating materials and expertise to help families in need, to sponsoring local school initiatives, and organizing cleanup drives in Kilifi, our foundation creates lasting, tangible change.

More than charity, the Jamiitown Foundation represents our belief that business and compassion go hand in hand. Every home we build contributes to something bigger — a healthier, more connected, and more empowered community.

05 / Community & lifestyle services

Jamiitown HUB

Jamiitown Hub is the central lifestyle and service platform within the Jamiitown ecosystem, designed to connect residents and guests with everything they need to enjoy their homes and community. It acts as the operational layer that brings together amenities, services, and day-to-day estate experiences.

By integrating services such as concierge support, facility access, activity coordination, and community engagement, the Hub ensures a seamless living experience across all Jamiitown estates. It bridges the gap between infrastructure and lifestyle, making estate living more convenient, connected, and enjoyable.

We focus on ease, responsiveness, and community-driven living, ensuring residents can access services, organize activities, and interact with their environment effortlessly. The Hub supports both homeowners and guests, enhancing everyday living beyond just the physical home.

Jamiitown Hub doesn’t just manage services — it creates a connected living experience that brings the entire Jamiitown ecosystem to life.

06 / Materials & innovation

GLEER

GLEER is Jamiitown’s creative materials venture, transforming recycled glass into strong, elegant surfaces — especially for bathroom basins, vanities, and countertops.
