At Belva Homes, we believe that modern architecture should do more than inspire — it should sustain. That’s why our flagship project, 3408 Belva on 6th Parklands Avenue, is designed as a symbol of sustainable luxury in Nairobi.
To make this vision a reality, we partnered with UGC (Urban Green Consultants), sustainability experts guiding our journey toward IFC’s EDGE Certification — a global standard that recognizes buildings designed to save energy, water, and materials.
Sustainability at the Core
Through a detailed EDGE assessment, 3408 Belva achieved outstanding results:
- 24.99% Energy Savings – through reflective roofs and walls (SRI 80+), efficient lighting, and smart cooling systems.
- 24.07% Water Savings – achieved with low-flow fixtures, dual-flush toilets, and a rainwater harvesting system with a 104m³ storage capacity.
- 48.43% Embodied Carbon Savings – by using natural stone blocks, optimized steel rebar, and sustainable construction techniques.
These results surpass the EDGE certification threshold, marking 3408 Belva as a certified green building — a first of its kind in Nairobi’s luxury segment.
The Path to EDGE Advanced
Belva Homes and UGC are taking it further. Plans to install a 203kWp solar PV system, smart meters, and occupancy sensors will enhance efficiency and push the building toward EDGE Advanced, cutting emissions by an estimated 350 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
Where Green Meets Grand
Beyond technology, 3408 Belva integrates vertical gardens and climate-resilient landscaping, developed in collaboration with KEFRI and ELT India. These green walls and plants naturally cool the building, purify air, and create an environment where residents live closer to nature.
A New Chapter in Sustainable Living
With over 43,000 square meters of mixed-use space, 3408 Belva blends sustainability, innovation, and design excellence. The partnership between Belva Homes and UGC is redefining what it means to live well — proving that green is the new luxury.
