Kilifi · Kenya's coast
A coast that's coming alive
North of Mombasa, Kilifi has become one of the coast's most magnetic places to live and build — drawing families, founders and makers to its creeks, reefs and baobabs.
The story of a building being grown at the centre of a regenerative coastal town — and an invitation to be part of it.
North of Mombasa, Kilifi has become one of the coast's most magnetic places to live and build — drawing families, founders and makers to its creeks, reefs and baobabs.
At its heart, Green Heart Kilifi is cultivating a 2,500-acre regenerative town — homes among farms and forest — growing toward 140 homes by 2028 and 320+ beyond.
Families are choosing the coast for the life it offers their children — with Kivukoni School drawing a community of parents and educators who want to live, learn and work close to nature.
As the village grows, it needs a place to come together — a generous, green public space at the heart of daily life, where neighbours meet and the community takes shape.
And it needs somewhere world-class to work — so people can grow businesses and careers without leaving the coast they've chosen. That place is the EcoHub.
Designed by Studio OMT — four storeys wrapped in planting, opening to a courtyard and a great central tree.
Step inside and the building breathes. A reception under a canopy of light; a spiral stair around a living tree; people working on every level, greenery spilling over the balconies.
1,630 sqm of lettable space holds six kinds of life under one roof — serviced offices, co-working, meeting rooms, private pods, a ground-floor café and shops, and a rooftop restaurant — all kept in one shared, managed home rather than carved up and sold off.
You cycle in past the duka and the café, grab a flat white, and settle into the co-working lounge — fibre humming, the courtyard tree framed in the window. The focus a kitchen table never gave you.
You step out of focus and into company — a shared table, a conversation, lunch with the people you're slowly coming to know. The community you moved here for, a floor away from your desk.
The co-working park: a laptop in dappled shade, kids audible from the village, a meeting that feels more like a walk. Productivity and place, finally on the same side.
As the light goes gold, the rooftop fills — neighbours, founders, friends. Dinner and a drink with the ocean on the horizon. The hub isn't where the day ends; it's where the community gathers.
Dedicated desks in a warm, planted lounge — fast fibre, power, coffee and community all included. Hot-desks and day passes too.
Serviced 90 m² offices behind glass and timber — for the team that's outgrowing the kitchen table. Move-in ready, fully managed.
Private one-person pods for deep work and calls, and bookable AC meeting rooms — set among the trees of the co-working park.
A ground-floor café and a duka of local crafts and goods — the EcoHub's meeting point, and ground-floor retail space for makers and brands.
The third-floor restaurant and panorama terrace — an anchor F&B opportunity, and the place the whole village comes to gather at golden hour.
Indicative Year-1 rates, all-inclusive of building services, ex-VAT, KES-primary (USD at 130). Register the space you'd want with a Letter of Intent — no commitment, just priority.
The EcoHub isn't just somewhere to rent a desk. It's designed as a commons: a piece of the village that its community can help own and steer.
Alongside the workspace sits a ½-acre Commons plot, contributed and governed collectively through a community DAO — a transparent, on-chain way for members to have a real say in how the shared spaces and land are cared for. Belonging here can mean stewardship, not just tenancy.
The EcoHub is funded by its own community through an all-equity, on-chain raise of $1.58M — no bank debt. You can take space, earn a return, or steward the land. Same building, your choice of how to belong.
By the time the village holds 320 homes, demand for this space will be nearly twice what the building can hold. The EcoHub will be its living centre — and the people who shaped it early will have made it theirs.
