Proxima Real Estate, a prominent player in Nairobi’s property market, made a significant impact at the Sharia Compliance and Halal Business Expo held on April 28–29, 2025, at the Sarit Expo Centre in Westlands. As a key sponsor and exhibitor, the company showcased its flagship development, Gemini, aligning with the expo’s theme of promoting ethical and Sharia-compliant business practices.
Showcasing Ethical Real Estate at the Expo
The Sharia Compliance and Halal Business Expo serves as a platform for businesses offering products and services that adhere to Islamic principles, emphasizing ethical and fair transactions. Proxima Real Estate’s participation underscored its commitment to these values, presenting Gemini as a development that resonates with both Muslim and non-Muslim investors seeking ethical investment opportunities.
Gemini: A Blend of Luxury and Ethical Investment
Gemini is a luxurious residential project located in the serene Brookside neighborhood of Westlands. Developed in partnership with Chinese firm Staroot Real Estate, the project comprises 368 one and two-bedroom apartments spread across 27 floors. The development boasts a range of amenities, including two heated pools, a rooftop padel court, co-working spaces, and a home theatre, catering to the modern urban lifestyle.
What sets Gemini apart is its appeal to investors seeking ethical investment avenues. The project’s design and financing options are structured to align with Sharia principles, avoiding interest-based transactions and ensuring transparency in dealings. This approach has attracted a diverse clientele, with many buyers purchasing units off-plan, reflecting confidence in the project’s ethical framework and the developers’ track record.
Strategic Location and Accessibility
Situated just a seven-minute drive from major malls like Westgate and Sarit Centre, and in proximity to the United Nations Complex in Gigiri, Gemini offers residents unparalleled convenience. The development’s location is further enhanced by easy access to the Nairobi Expressway, connecting residents to the Central Business District, Mombasa Road, and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Flexible Payment Plans
Understanding the financial considerations of potential buyers, Proxima Real Estate offers flexible payment plans for Gemini. Buyers can secure a unit with a 30% deposit, followed by 50% in installments during the construction period, and the remaining 20% upon completion. This structure not only facilitates easier entry for investors but also aligns with ethical financing principles by avoiding burdensome interest payments.
Proxima Real Estate’s active participation in the Sharia Compliance and Halal Business Expo highlights its dedication to promoting ethical real estate investment in Kenya. Through projects like Gemini, the company is setting a precedent for integrating luxury living with ethical business practices, catering to a growing market of conscientious investors.
