Steady Growth Signals Strong Demand

According to centum, between 2019 and 2059, Kenya will add 12.1 million households, driven by urbanization and smaller family sizes, shrinking from 3.9 to 3.3 persons. By 2059, half of all households are expected to rent, highlighting growing demand for safe and quality homes.
