Winner: Best Sustainable Residential Development in Africa
This new accolade from The International Property Awards positions KEFITA as a landmark investment opportunity across Africa, having already been recognised as Best Residential High Rise Development and Best Sustainable Residential Development in Ethiopia. Our dedication to green-conscious living has been woven throughout the entire design process. It is clear that ‘green living’ is not a choice but a necessity. Our residents can rest assured that we have integrated environmentally-conscious elements throughout, to help contribute to our part in preserving the planet we call home. KEFITA stands for the future of Addis Abeba.
An Update On The Build
We are thrilled to say that construction of KEFITA is on track to be completed by 2023. We have completed fourth-floor slab work and column reinforcement, plus formwork and props are underway for the fifth floor. This means we’re starting to get a real feel for the incredible 360 degree views our residents will enjoy from their apartments. We recently invited current and future owners to tour the third floor, and were delighted to see their reaction to the amazing views towards the mountains and down into the city. This floor will be home to the KEFITA floor - the beating heart of the building. This is where residents and their guests will relax, work, and play; a hotel-like experience with wrap-around views from contained balconies. An undoubtedly unique living experience! Have a look
Taking shape
KEFITA’s design is anchored in the rich heritage of Ethiopian culture. The tilet-inspired openings on the parking floors - that provide ventilation and ground the building within the environment - are now taking shape! It’s great to see the personality of the building begin to come through.
An Invitation to View

Come to the building site - wear your weekend clothes and we'll provide the hard-hats.
