Affordable Housing: Residential development priced or structured to be accessible to low- and middle-income households, often aligned with government affordable housing programmes.
Chama (Investment Club): A Kenyan member-based savings and investment group that pools members' capital to invest collectively — common among both local and diaspora communities.
Co-Investment / Syndication: An arrangement where two or more capital partners jointly fund a single project, sharing both the capital outlay and the resulting risk and return.
Convertible Note: A short-term financing instrument that converts into an equity stake in the project at a future date or milestone, rather than being repaid purely in cash.
Debt / Mezzanine Finance: Capital provided as a loan rather than an ownership stake. Mezzanine finance sits between senior debt and equity, typically carrying a higher return and sometimes an option to convert to equity if not repaid on schedule.
Development Finance Institution (DFI): A specialised institution — often government-backed or multilateral — that provides long-term capital for development projects, particularly those with strong social or economic impact.
Distressed / Turnaround Project: A project facing financial, construction, or operational difficulty that requires fresh capital or management to be brought back on track, often available at a discount to reflect the added risk.
Equity: Capital provided in exchange for direct ownership in a project, sharing in its profits and losses rather than earning a fixed return.
High Net Worth Individual (HNWI): An individual investor with substantial investable assets, typically investing independently rather than through a fund or institution.
Hospitality Project: Development of accommodation-focused assets such as hotels, resorts, or serviced apartments.
Independent Project Financier: An individual or small entity that finances a specific project directly, rather than through a larger fund or institution.
Institutional Investor: A large organisation — such as a pension fund, insurance company, or investment bank — that invests pooled funds from many contributors on their behalf.
Investment Horizon: The length of time a capital partner expects their money to remain committed to a project before exiting — short-term (under 2 years), medium-term (2–5 years), or long-term (5+ years).
Investment Structure: The legal and financial form an investment takes — for example equity, debt, a joint venture, or a profit-sharing arrangement.
IRR (Internal Rate of Return): A percentage figure representing the annualised return an investment is expected to generate over its life, accounting for the timing of cash flows.
Joint Venture (JV): A formal partnership between a capital partner and a developer or landowner to jointly own, fund, and share the proceeds of a project.
Master Planned Community: A large-scale, multi-phase development combining residential, commercial, and often institutional uses, planned as a single cohesive neighbourhood.
Private Equity Firm: A firm that pools investor capital into funds and deploys it into private, non-listed assets — including real estate — typically seeking a defined exit within a set timeframe.
Profit-Sharing Arrangement: A structure where returns are split between the capital partner and the developer or owner based on an agreed percentage of profits, rather than fixed interest or a straightforward equity stake.
Project Stage: Where a project currently sits in its lifecycle — land acquisition, pre-construction/planning, under construction, or completed/income-producing. Different capital partners prefer entering at different stages depending on their risk appetite.
ROI (Return on Investment): The gain or loss generated on an investment relative to the amount invested, usually expressed as a percentage.
Student Accommodation: Purpose-built housing developed specifically to serve students, typically located near tertiary institutions.
Ticket Size: The amount of capital an investor is able or willing to commit to a single opportunity.
