About Sentinel Group

Building on a Foundation of Excellence: Since 1998, Sentinel Group has been driven by JPL Nyaberi's founding vision to redefine excellence in the construction industry, creating luxury living spaces and lasting value across East Africa.

Our Story: A Legacy Forged in Quality

The Sentinel Group story began in 1998 when JPL Nyaberi founded Swissgrade Limited.

Under Nyaberi’s leadership, Swissgrade quickly earned a reputation for quality.

The turn of the millennium marked a transition to full-scale construction.

In 2010, reflecting significant growth and diversification, the company evolved into the Sentinel Group.
