Armando Ernesto Passuello: The Visionary Behind Jamiitown in Kilifi
When you think of real estate development in Kilifi, one name stands out — Armando Ernesto Passuello, the Swiss architect who turned a simple visit into a lifelong mission to redefine housing in Kenya.
Who is Armando?
In 2019, Armando and his wife Laura visited Kenya, unaware that the trip would transform their lives. Struck by the stark contrast between European housing standards and the pressing need for quality, affordable homes in Kilifi, Armando decided to take action.
His response was Jamiitown Investment — a bold initiative to design and build thoughtfully planned, affordable communities that bring Swiss precision to Kenyan living.
Why Armando and Jamiitown Stand Out
🌍 Holistic Development
Jamiitown isn’t just about houses — it’s a lifestyle. From architectural design and in-house construction to hospitality services and community-focused philanthropy, Jamiitown blends everything into a seamless model.
👨👩👧👦 Community First
Every estate is planned with people at its core. Safety, green spaces, and a spirit of neighborliness are built into the blueprint — transforming developments into true communities.
🌱 A Sustainable Vision
Jamiitown integrates eco-conscious practices like natural ventilation, the use of local materials, and innovative projects such as Gleer, which transforms recycled glass into durable construction materials.
In Summary
Armando Ernesto Passuello is more than a developer — he’s a bridge between Swiss design excellence and Kenyan community living. Through Jamiitown, he is reshaping the future of affordable housing in Kilifi: sustainable, community-driven, and designed for belonging.
