Healing Meets Hospitality: Mi Vida Homes Launches Nairobi’s First Medical Tourism Real Estate Hub

In a bold and unprecedented move, Mi Vida Homes is reshaping the face of Nairobi’s real estate market with the launch of Habitat, a 24-storey mixed-use development designed specifically for the booming medical tourism sector. Teaming up with Space Master Properties, the developer is bringing to life a vision that fuses healthcare, hospitality, and high-quality living spaces in one integrated urban address on Ralph Bunche Road.

At the heart of Habitat’s innovation are 42 state-of-the-art medical suites, available for sale to healthcare providers seeking a prime Nairobi location. These are more than mere clinics, they’re investment opportunities positioned at the intersection of wellness and commerce. As global patients increasingly look toward Nairobi for affordable and quality healthcare, the demand for professional and well-located medical facilities has surged. Habitat aims to be the destination that meets that demand.

But Habitat doesn’t stop at healthcare. It offers an entire ecosystem of convenience: short and medium-term residential units, assisted living accommodations, and retail spaces all designed with medical tourists and their caregivers in mind. Patients visiting for procedures will be able to recover in fully serviced residences, while families or medical staff benefit from comfortable, well-equipped lodging in the same building. This approach creates a seamless experience that bridges treatment, recovery, and hospitality.

Mi Vida Homes CEO Samuel Kariuki described the venture as “a new innovative offering” for Nairobi and “the first mixed-use development anchored on healthcare.” He emphasized that Habitat is not only an architectural statement but also a strategic one: a convergence of location, livability, and investment potential.

Habitat presents a unique investment opportunity in the emerging sub-sector of medical tourism,” Kariuki said. “This partnership with Space Master Properties aligns with our mission to develop real estate solutions that respond to real human needs.”

With show houses already open and final finishes underway, Mi Vida Homes is demonstrating its commitment to timely delivery and quality execution. The company is also collaborating with Parklane Construction to ensure the project stays on track and lives up to its ambitious vision.

As Nairobi positions itself as a regional medical hub, Habitat could serve as a model for future real estate developments that go beyond lifestyle and into purposeful, need-driven infrastructure. Mi Vida’s latest venture signals a turning point where healing and hospitality co-exist not just as services, but as central pillars of urban planning.

In the evolving story of African cities, Habitat could be Nairobi’s blueprint for the future of integrated care and community living.
