Message from the CEO

“Life is what happens to us while

we are making other plans”

Total Formwork Solutions Provider!

Welcome to the third issue of our

e-newsletter, The Developer’s Digest: July

- September 2019.

In this issue, we have featured an article by MML

Turner & Townsend on their ICMS Report. The report

has interesting construction statistics.

Our theme for this issue, “The Challenging Economy:

Prospects for the Real Estate Sector” is borrowed

from the theme for our 2019 Annual Conference

scheduled for 29th October 2019.

2019 real estate trends have been characterized by

banks using stringent guidelines during the vetting

process before granting Kenyans loans to invest in

property, a rise in the price of property, an increase

in taxes to allow for Government to meet its policy

goals and a continued increase in the cost of building

materials and construction in general. These trends

were the driving force behind organizing a forum

that could allow for discussions on mitigating these

negative trends, surviving and thriving in 2020.

Focus on Policy

Louise Mathu

Advocate of the High Court of Kenya specialised in Corporate & Commercial

Law with particular expertise in the Energy and Extractives sector

After the re-election of President Uhuru

Kenyatta, he realigned his government’s

agenda for his second term towards

achieving four main goals. The goals were referred

to as the Big Four Agenda. The ‘Big Four Agenda’ is

meant to focus the government’s energy towards:

enhancing manufacturing; achieving food security

and nutrition; universal health care coverage and

providing affordable housing to the populace. The

ultimate goal of the ‘Big Four Agenda is to incentivize

economic growth so that jobs are created, which in

turn enables young people to cater for their basic

needs and improve their general welfare.

Article 43(1) (b) of the Kenyan Constitution provides

that every person has the right to accessible and

adequate housing. A similar provision exists in the

International Covenant on Economic, Social and

Cultural Rights captured aptly in Article 11.1 as

follows

“The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize

the right of everyone to an adequate standard of

living for himself and his family, including adequate

food, clothing and housing, and to the continuous

improvement of living conditions. The States Parties

will take appropriate steps to ensure the realization

of this right, recognizing to this effect the essential

importance of international co-operation based on

free consent.

Without disputing the essence of the legal provisions

above, the reality is that achieving housing for every

citizen is a daunting task, especially for governments

in Africa. The government must however, realize this

right for every citizen even if through progressive

realization. In a famously quoted South African

case, the court pondered in the following manner as

regards the right to housing;

“I am conscious that it is an extremely difficult task for

the state to meet these obligations in the conditions

that prevail in our country. This is recognised by the

Constitution, which expressly provides that the state

is not obliged to go beyond available resources or

to realise these rights immediately. I stress however,

that despite all these qualifications, these are rights,

and the Constitution obliges the state to give effect

to them. This is an obligation that courts can, and in

appropriate circumstances, must enforce”

In Kenya, according to government data, the current

housing deficit is 1.9 million. It also estimates that

Kenya has an annual housing demand of 250, 000

with an estimated supply of 50, 000 p.a (80% deficit)

targeting the high-end market with only 2 percent of

formally constructed houses a targeted to the lower

income segments of the market, which account for

the largest share of demand.

Through the 2018 Finance Act, the government

introduced section 31A in the Employment Act, which

set out the mechanism for deducting the Housing

Fund Levy. For persons not formally employed, the

Housing Fund Regulations provided for voluntary

contributions of Kenya Shillings Two Hundred (KES

200) per month. This initiative was expected to

generate about Sh57 billion a year, from about 2.5

million salaried Kenyans, with additional revenue

expected to come from the voluntary contributors.

It will cost an estimated KES 1.5 trillion to fully

fund the Affordable Housing project. Currently,

the government has not been able to make the

deduction from employees due to a court order

barring the same.

The cause of the gap both on the supply side and

demand side is lack of financing. Developers lack

cheap credit to build affordable homes affordable

while buyers lack funding to buy homes. The most

common financing options for developers include:

Bank loans; Savings; Equity raise and contributions

by buyers in off plan developments. For the buyers

the most common mode of purchase is through cash

(whether off plan or built) with financing through

mortgages limited to those in formal employment

and earning approximately above Kes 300,000/=

monthly. The limited penetration of mortgages in

Kenya is therefore of no surprise.

In this Article, we will explore Real Estate Investment

Trusts (REITs) as one of the ways that can be used by

developers to finance the construction and increase

the take up of affordable houses by lowering the

cost of credit subsequently lowering the cost of the

housing units.

The Challenging Kenyan Economy: Prospects in Real Estate

Focus on Policy

A REIT is a real estate financing vehicle in the form

of a collective investment scheme where an investor

owns rights or interest in the form of units and earns

returns from income or capital gains.

The REIT can either be an income REIT (I-REIT)

or a development REIT (D-REIT). An I-REIT holds

developed property and derives returns from

it in the form of rental income while a D-REIT

holds undeveloped property with the intention of

developing and then disposing it. The CMA also

recognizes REITs that are compliant with Shariah

law. While the development of real estate projects is

not prohibited under Islamic law, Islamic REITs focus

mainly on what enterprises are allowed to undertake

their business in the real estate projects and the

management of the REITs’s finances.

As a result, a REIT manager is required to conduct

a compliance test before investing in real estate

to ensure it is shariah compliant and that nonpermissible

activities are not conducted in the estate

and if so, then on a minimal basis.

The Capital Markets Act and The Capital Markets

(Real Estate Investment Trusts) (Collective

Investment Schemes) Regulations, 2013 (“the

regulations”) govern the establishment, licensing,

operation, listing (if applicable) and the dissolution

of all forms of REITs in Kenya. Under the regulations

a person (referred to as a promoter), shall not

establish a REIT nor issue REIT securities unless that

person applies to the Capital Market Authority (CMA)

for, and obtains an authorization.

A REIT can be terminated in any of the following

ways:

a) By revocation of authorization by CMA;

b) Through expiry of the term of the trust;

c) Through termination upon application by the

Trustee to CMA; and

d) The Trustee, REIT Manager or any REIT securities

holder may apply to Court for an order to wind up

the operations of the authorized REIT scheme.

In practice, REITs work in the following manner; let us

take the case of a D-REIT, a property developer owns

a piece of land and intends to develop a housing

project on it but lacks the funds. The developer

then sets up an unincorporated common law trust

which is divided into units. The establishment of the

trust is through a trust deed. The trust must have

a trustee (typically a bank), a REIT manager and a

promoter (the developer). The trustee and the REIT

manager must be persons who are licensed by the

CMA. A promoter can be the REIT manager if they are

licensed as such.

Benefits of REITs to Affordable Housing

a) Listed REITs can be traded like stocks. This is

attractive to investors who seek to diversify their

investment portfolios to earn higher returns.

This drives savings and investments from

retail investors to real estate hence providing

developers with the much needed cheap capital

for infrastructural spending.

b) Listed REITs are regulated by the CMA and the

trustees, REIT managers and promoters are

required to adhere to high standards of corporate

governance, financial reporting and information

disclosure.

c) REITs provide regular and consistent income to

investors. The Regulations require that I-REITs

disburse to unit holders as dividend at least 80 %

of income generated in a given year. This avoids

the excessive retention of earning of witnessed

in some listed companies, depriving investors of

income.

d) REITs provide an alternative source of funding for

developers to raise money to supplement existing

funds or to entirely fund developers.

e) REITs enables developers to access property

management professionals at a relatively

cheaper cost. REITs are by law required to

have managers, who bring in their expertise in

property management to help projects source

clientele and boost income.

f) Tax benefits. For REITs that are registered with

the CMA and have sought exemption from income

tax from the Kenya Revenue Authority, their

income or capital gains are exempt from tax.

The REITs are also exempt from Stamp Duty for

transfers of beneficial interest in property from

one trustee to another trustee or to an additional

trustee and transfer of beneficial interest in

property in exchange for units in the REIT. There

are proposals in the Finance Bill 2019 to amend

section 20 of the Income Tax Act to exempt

REITs’s investee companies from income tax. The

Income Tax Act currently only exempts REITs from

income tax without extending the exemption

to subsidiaries and investee companies, which

are wholly owned by REITs. Hence, when a REIT

invests in a company (investee), the income of

that company would first be subjected to 30

percent corporation tax.

Shortcomings of REITs

a) Slow levels of growth are experienced with REITs.

This is because the REITs are required to return

up to 80 % of their returns from real estate project

to the unit holders. This money would have been

used to grow the REITs’s portfolio of assets.

b) The tax benefits do not trickle down to the unit

holder level. While the REIT is largely exempt

from tax, the unit holders are not, their dividends

are taxed. The distribution of the profits to the

unit holders would be subject to withholding

tax (“WHT”) at the rate of 5 % for residents and

10 % for non-residents. According to KRA all

distribution of interest income and dividends by

REITs are liable to WHT. However, it is argued by

some tax experts that this interpretation is not

correct as the distribution by the REIT to unit

holders is neither interest income nor dividends.

The unit holders do not advance any credit to

the REIT. Also, since the REIT is structured as a

trust rather than a company, it is incapable of

distributing dividends as section 2 of the Income

Tax Act defines dividends as “…. any distribution

by a company to its shareholders with respect to

their equity interest in the company”.

c) Costs of setting up a REIT. There are substantial

costs involved in the set-up of REITs especially

in engaging professionals such as transactional

advisors and lawyers. However, once the REIT

is set, the cost of running the trust reduces

substantially.

d) REITs are prohibited from engaging in the

provision of mortgages or any other form of

lending or debt finance. However, a D-REIT may,

where the DREIT has developed or constructed

housing or other real estate assets, provide: a

mortgage; other forms of secured loan; secured

finance; or any form of lending or finance through

a progressive purchase mechanism.

Can Reits be a Funding Solution to

Affordable Housing?

Rather than approach financing institutions for

funding at punitive interest rates, housing projects

developers can set up REITs and access funding at

much lower interest rate. The housing units can then

The Challenging Kenyan Economy: Prospects in Real Estate

Focus on Policy

be sold or leased to the unit holders at preferential

terms and at a rate much lower than the market

rates. This arrangement would enable potential

home owners participate in the project from the

ground up while at the same time enable developers

make a profit margin on the sale or steady income

from the management of the REIT.

REITs present an opportunity for developers to

exploit in Affordable Housing with the government’s

help especially in the provision of land and bulk

infrastructure and provision of tax incentives to the

developers. The two costs account for a large portion

of the high costs associated with housing projects.

It is essential that to achieve a social goal such

as provision of affordable housing to low income

earners, partnership with the government or other

development partners must be emphasized. Given

the strong regulation of REITs, the government

through agencies like the National Social Security

Fund and the Office of the Permanent Secretary

National Treasury, can guarantee developers of

offtake of the REIT units. The government can also

encourage the participation of Developers in the

offering of Tenant Purchase Schemes by extending

items such as Mortgage Interest Relief to mortgages

granted by a D-REit or a Private Developer subject

to meeting certain standards. Given how successful

Tenant Purchase Schemes have been for the National

Housing Corporation and the National Social Security

Fund this will allow private developers, who are now

with the challenging market, seeking ways to offload

units for instance through deferred payment plans

which go past the lapse of construction with much

needed relief.

Has this worked elsewhere? In the United States,

Housing Partnership Equity Trust (HPET) is a private

REIT; it is a social venture REIT established in 2012.

HPET invests in multi-family properties for low-and

moderate-income residents. It is a privately owned

partnership of 12 non-profit members—which

enables members to act quickly in comparison to

for-profit buyers when looking to purchase rental

properties, without needing to assemble complex

financing packages. HPET invests in medium-tolarge

multi-family properties, including non-core,

secondary real estate markets. It specifically targets

unsubsidized affordable rental housing properties

that are in good condition and cash flow positive.

Other examples exist in the United Kingdom too.

How would developers make money in the REITs

targeting affordable housing? The regulations

provide that a manager of a D-REIT may apply to the

CMA to convert the D-REIT into an I-REIT. The CMA

will require the REIT manager to demonstrate that

the D-REIT shall be able to meet the requisite asset

requirements for an I-REIT upon conversion. The

REIT manager must also show that the proprietary

interest of not less than half the assets held by the

D-REIT are held as long-term leases; or if the long –

term leases tenure is not applicable to the real estate

asset then it must have been producing income for

at least six months. For developers who wish to exit

once the housing development is complete, this

conversion would provide an opportunity for a faster

and more efficient exit. In conventional projects,

not established under a REIT Scheme, the developer

would only be able to exit by selling all the individual

units. For developers who wish to stay on post

completion of the housing project, the I-REIT would

offer an opportunity for a continuous flow of revenue

from the income derived from the project.

In conclusion, there exists many opportunities

for developers in the affordable housing space.

Second, investment in affordable housing would be

much easier to finance and more profitable if the

developers were to utilize the REITs option. REITs are

highly regulated by the CMA and the Trustee and the

Manager have a continuous obligation to provide

periodic reports to unit holders. REITs enjoys many

tax incentives as it derives tax benefits by virtue of it

being a trust as well as the specific benefits accorded

to REITs in Kenya

Town Planning -–

Sustainable Real Estate

Planning and Development

Overview

Town planning as a profession is focused on

overall planning and development of a town

or city in respect to regulating land use,

building development, transport and infrastructure

development. This regulation of land use and

development is effected through the preparation

of town/urban integrated development plans and

implementation enforcement using development

control tools. Indeed town planning has direct

impact on sustainable real estate development. Poor

town planning and weak development control leads

to unsustainable real estate development.

This paper is focused on identifying some key

town planning elements and how the same affect

By Mairura Omwenga,

Engineer/Town Planner, Chairman TCPAK

real estate investments. These key town planning

elements include – integrated development

plans, development site master plans, public and

stakeholder engagement; development permission;

construction supervision; property title registration;

and property maintenance.

Integrated Development Plans

Real estate development constitutes long term

investment of over 20-30 years. In any town or

city it is important an investor looks at the long

term town integrated development plan or town

masterplan that covers a period of 20-30 years.

The city development plans gives the broad policy

guidelines on the development of land and property

in various zones - housing, commerce/retail/office,

manufacturing industry etc. The law requires that

all and each town or city must have town integrated

development plan. The law has given the State/

Government the power to regulate the use of, interest

in and rights over any and all land in Kenya. The State

power is primarily provided for in the Constitution of

Kenya 2010, Article 66: Regulation of Land Use and

Property: 66(1) states – “The State may regulate the

use of any land, or any interest in or right over any

land, in the interest of defence, public safety, public

order, public morality, public health, or land use

planning”.

Nairobi city, for example, has just completed

the preparation of the 2015-2030 city integrated

development plan.

Project Site Development Master Plan

Any major real estate requires the development of

a site development master plan. A good site master

plan prepared by town planner in consultation with

architect and the engineer leads to better and higher

returns on investment in both the short and long

term. One such project, for example is Eagle Park

development in Runda Nairobi. For about 30-40

years, this 20 acre plot was wasted swampy site.

About 10 years ago and with proper site master plan,

the same site is now attractive upmarket housing

neighbourhood.

Public Participation and Stakeholder

Engagement

In real estate development, it is now constitutional

requirement and mandatory to undertake public

and stakeholder engagement. In undertaking any

building development, the immediate neighbours

must be consulted and even those in the wider area.

Failure to undertake effective public and stakeholder

engagement may lead to delay or total stoppage to

real estate development.

A town planner is extremely important in assisting

the developer undertake the required public and

stakeholder engagement.

Development Permission

Real estate investment requires development

permission or approval from the local city/municipal

board, county government and national government

departments. This development permission includes

approval of plans by the town planner, architect,

engineer and EIA expert. Actual construction works

will require approval and registration by the National

Construction Authority.

The process to obtain development permission from

various government departments can be lengthy and

time consuming. The town planner plays a central

role in the processing and obtaining development

permission from various government offices. In

Nairobi city, it takes on average 2-6 months to obtain

required approvals.

Construction Supervision

Town planners play an important role as part of the

construction supervision team. The town planner

in a construction site will advise on plot coverage,

building line, building height, building density and

property access.

A Message from our Partners

Property Title Registration

In many cases, real estate development requires

registration of title to property. This may cover a wide

range of issues- flats in residential and commercial

office block, land sub-division, change of use,

renewal/extension of lease etc. In this process of

property registration, a town planner is extremely

useful both in the national and county government

levels.

Property Operation and Maintenance

A town planner ensures effective operation

maintenance of real estate investment. A town

planner should use appropriate development control

tools to ensure that property value is maintained and

even enhanced in the short and long term. Where

there are weak development control measures,

property value can quickly drop and not sustain

long term returns on investment. Good examples in

Nairobi where property returns have quickly dropped

due to weak development control measures include

Nairobi CBD, Upper Hill, and Buru Buru estate
