Superior Homes CEO Shiv Arora will step down from the role at the end of 2025 after five years at the helm, as Managing Director Ian Henderson relocates back to Kenya to take on a more direct role, the real estate company said in a statement.
- •Shiv was appointed to the role in August 2020 after stints at Citibank, Merryl Lynch Wealth Management, Britam Asset Managers, and Cytonn.
- •Henderson founded Superior Homes in 2004, and has retained the MD position “providing strategic and operational guidance to Shiv and the Senior Management Team.”
- •The company’s flagship project is the 160-acre Green Park Estate in Athi River, and it has since launched multiple projects, including a KSh 30bn project in Ruiru, and a KSh 1bn estate in Kilifi.
“During Shiv’s tenure, the company has achieved significant milestones, including expansion to new development projects, growth in sales and revenue, while further institutionalising the business and strengthening governance,” the real estate company said in a statement announcing the leadership changes.
Dubbed ‘Kofi Ridge’, the 240-acre master-planned gated community in Ruiru features a range of uniquely designed three-bedroom townhouses, four and five-bedroom bungalows, and five-bedroom villas.
The company has developed four developments: Greenpark Estate in Athi River, Fadhili Retirement Village, Pazuri at Vipingo, Sundowner Hotel in Athi River and the Lake Elementaita Mountain Lodge in Nakuru County.
“I’m pleased with the distance we’ve traveled in introducing distinctive communities to the Kenyan real estate market,” Shiv Arora said in a recent interview with The Kenyan Wall Street, “Beyond the physical development, I’m proud of the solid company culture and creative team that drives us to success on a daily basis.”
