- Waiyaki Way: about 10 minutes
- Two Rivers Mall: about 15 minutes
- Sarit Centre: about 20 minutes
- Nairobi CBD: about 30 minutes
- JKIA: about 40 minutes
Straight-line distances from the site:
- University of Nairobi, Upper Kabete Campus: about 2.8 km
- University of Nairobi, Lower Kabete Campus: about 3.1 km
- International School of Kenya: about 5.7 km
- Two Rivers Mall: about 9.4 km

- Deposit: 20% on signing the Letter of Offer

Why It Works for Homeowners
- Studios from KES 1.96M give first-time buyers a low entry point, paid in stages
- A new building with a gym, pool, jogging track and social hall
- Borehole water and a backup generator for dependable daily living
- 24-hour CCTV and access control
- Layouts from studios to two bedrooms, so you can choose the size that suits you
Why It Works for Investors
Astra Bay’s case is its entry price. A studio starts from KES 1.96M, and the building is weighted towards studios and one bedrooms, the sizes single tenants such as students and young professionals tend to look for. Two University of Nairobi campuses are about 3 km away, and Westlands is about 12 km by straight line.
The developer’s brochure gives indicative monthly rent estimates, for example KES 22,000 to 25,000 for a studio, KES 38,000 to 42,000 for a one bedroom and KES 50,000 to 55,000 for a two bedroom. These are the developer’s estimates and not guarantees. As an off-plan purchase completing in 2027, weigh the build programme and treat rents and resale values as unguaranteed.
The developer, Wimax Homes, states that it has more than 15 years’ experience, over 10 developments and more than 2,200 residential units delivered and under development. Its recent projects include Silver Harbour, Laurel Hill Suites and Himalaya Heights. We recommend visiting completed Wimax projects as part of your due diligence.
If you plan to let furnished or as a short stay, check the building’s management rules first. Block Real Estate can share current rents on comparable studios in Kabete and Westlands.
Finishes and Specifications
- Open-plan studios with large windows
- Internet and cable provision
- High-speed lifts
- Borehole water supply
- Backup generator

Who This Development Suits Best
