Why student housing
The most resilient real-estate niche in Kenya — driven by an academic calendar, not the economy.
📚
Pre-paid rent
Parents pay a full semester (or year) up-front at admission. Cashflow is locked in before tenants move in.
📈
95%+ occupancy
Public universities admit more students every year than there are on-campus beds. Off-campus housing fills fast.
🏛️
Tier-1 universities
KU, JKUAT and Moi together host over 100,000 students. We only build where demand far outstrips supply.
🛡️
Asset-backed
Every project is secured against the underlying real estate. You own a share of a real, income-producing building.
What our investors say
Kenyans building wealth — one bedspace at a time.
“I started with KSh 10,000 in the KU hostel last year. Two M-Pesa payouts have hit my phone on the exact day promised. Easier than my SACCO.”

Aisha Mohamed
Invested in JKUAT Juja Heights
“The STK push flow is the best part. Three taps and I had added KSh 25,000 to my Moi University holding. No bank visits, no paperwork.”
Brian Mwangi
Invested in Moi Kesses Hostels
“I now hold units in three projects across all three universities. Reinvesting every quarterly payout. Compounding really does work.”
Faith Nyambura
Invested in Multiple projects
“I'm a teacher in Eldoret. KSh 5,000 minimum on the Moi Town residence meant I could actually start. Already on payout #2.”

Frequently asked
What is PrimeDwell?
A platform that lets Kenyans co-invest in purpose-built student housing near major universities (KU, JKUAT, Moi). Investors earn fixed dividends from rental income, paid out through M-Pesa.
How much do I need to start?
The minimum varies by project but starts as low as KSh 5,000 on most of our projects. Bigger projects (like JKUAT Juja Heights) start at KSh 10,000.
How are dividends paid?
Dividends are sent directly to the M-Pesa number registered on your account on the scheduled payout date — quarterly for most projects.
Are the returns guaranteed?
PrimeDwell offers fixed-dividend contracts. Returns are backed by pre-paid student rentals plus a project reserve fund. As with any investment, performance can vary — read each project's prospectus before investing.
What if a project doesn't fill up?
We only fund projects that already have signed letting agreements with university bursaries or proven operators on track records above 90% occupancy. A reserve fund covers any short-term shortfall to keep dividends on schedule.
Can I exit early?
Yes — units can be listed on our secondary market after a 12-month holding period, subject to a 1% transfer fee.
