About the project

Qwetu Aberdare Heights is an upscale student residence developed by Acorn Holdings along USIU Road in Ruaraka, northern Nairobi, about 50 metres from the United States International University (USIU-Africa) campus and Pan Africa Christian University. The complex holds roughly 697 beds across twin, cluster, single and premium rooms, all furnished and self-contained. Under a nomination agreement, USIU-Africa refers its students to Qwetu, which in turn supports several university programmes. Residents enjoy WiFi, shared lounges, a gym, study spaces, convenience retail, laundry and 24/7 security. The building was designed to EDGE energy-efficiency certification. The second phase, Aberdare Heights II, was sold in late 2023 for about KES 1.48 billion, underscoring the value of Acorn's purpose-built student housing model. Monthly rents range from roughly KES 19,000 for a twin room to over KES 32,000 for a premium room.
