GulfCap Real Estate said it will hand over 492 residential units at the Buxton Point development in Mombasa in December 2026.
The delivery will raise the total number of completed homes in the urban regeneration scheme to 1,076, adding to the 584 units already finished.
GulfCap affirmed its commitment to the Buxton Point Development Charter and said it has complied with recent enforcement notices issued by the Mombasa County Department of Lands and Physical Planning.
The developer confirmed that an Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centre has been constructed on site and is currently being used as a project-management office while Phase 2 works continue, adding that opening the facility before statutory safety requirements are met would pose risks.
“The ECDE centre will be formally commissioned and handed over as part of the designated project handover schedule,” the statement read.
GulfCap noted that the development provides a range of community amenities, including children’s playgrounds, landscaped gardens, a swimming pool, clubhouse, gymnasium, basketball court, football pitch and youth development academies.
Sustainable features cited by the contractor include an on-site wastewater treatment plant, upgraded sewer networks, solar-powered lighting and water heating, and the planting of more than 2,000 indigenous trees.
The company estimated that the project has created 3,106 direct jobs and about 15,000 indirect employment and livelihood opportunities, employing roughly 2,800 local workers of whom 90 per cent are young, and supporting 250 skilled construction positions for technical training.
GulfCap said the county’s 10 per cent housing entitlement, estimated at roughly 180 units across the master plan, is embedded in the contractual framework and will be transferred in line with agreed handover milestones, subject to appropriate financing and legal procedures.
County Executive Committee Member for Lands, Housing and Urban Development Mohamed Hussein had ordered a suspension of construction pending resolution of disputes with former Buxton Estate residents, a move that preceded a violent confrontation when county officials were allegedly attacked while enforcing the order.
GulfCap said it remains open to constructive dialogue with the county government to ensure transparent transfer of assets and to complete the remaining works ahead of the December handover.
