Description
XJabali Towers is the development that will define Tatu City’s skyline. Twin residential towers — 20 and 31 storeys — rising from the heart of Tatu Central, the business and lifestyle district of Kenya’s first Special Economic Zone. With over 350 apartments spanning 88,000 sqm of built-up area, every unit comes standard with smart home technology, central air conditioning, 3-metre ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a private balcony.
Developed by Rendeavour, one of Africa’s largest new-city developers, Jabali isn’t just a tall building with nice apartments. It’s the anchor of an integrated urban district — surrounded by a 150-room hotel, a retail district with 35 shops and 15 restaurants, and Grade A office space. Living at Jabali means living at the centre of a self-contained city, where everything from your morning coffee to a business meeting to an evening swim is available without ever getting in your car.
Studios start from KES 8.2 million. Book from just KES 200,000.
Location: The Heart of Tatu Central
Jabali Towers sits within Tatu Central, the commercial and lifestyle hub of Tatu City — a 5,000-acre master-planned development in Ruiru, Kiambu County. Tatu City is Kenya’s first operational Special Economic Zone, offering businesses reduced corporate taxes, zero-rated VAT, and import duty exemptions. These incentives attract employers, and employers attract residents who need quality housing.
This isn’t a masterplan on paper. Roads are paved, schools and businesses are operational, and residential communities like Kijani Ridge are occupied and thriving. Kijani Ridge has appreciated more than 346% over a decade — demonstrating that the Tatu City investment thesis delivers real, sustained returns.
Connectivity:
- Nairobi CBD — 30 minutes via Thika Superhighway
- JKIA Airport — 40 minutes
- Kasarani International Stadium — 10 minutes
- Kenyatta University Teaching Hospital — nearby
- Schools, retail, and medical facilities already operational within Tatu City
The Twin Towers
Tower A (20 Storeys) houses studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments at more accessible heights, with upper floors still offering impressive views across Tatu City and the Kiambu landscape. Lower floors benefit from proximity to the ground-level retail district.
Tower B (31 Storeys) reaches an elevation that delivers panoramic views extending across the entire Tatu City masterplan to the hills beyond. This tower houses the larger configurations, including the flagship 3-bedroom duplexes spanning two levels at the top of the building — the kind of vistas typically reserved for penthouse living.
Smart Home Technology — Standard in Every Unit
Jabali integrates smart home technology across all apartments as standard, not an optional upgrade.
- Smart lighting control — adjust intensity, timing, and ambience from your phone with pre-set scenes for different times of day
- Central air conditioning — ducted climate control in every unit (not individual split units), with temperature scheduling and remote control
- 3-metre ceiling heights — significantly above the 2.4–2.7m standard, creating a sense of volume and luxury
- Floor-to-ceiling windows — maximising natural light and framing the elevated views
- Private balconies — outdoor space on every unit
- Integration-ready infrastructure — designed to accommodate additional smart devices, security cameras, and connected-home systems
For investors, smart home features are a tangible rental differentiator. Corporate tenants from markets where smart tech is standard actively seek smart-enabled apartments and pay premium rents.
Unit Types & Pricing

| Unit Type | Size | Starting Price (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 43 sqm | 8,200,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | 64 sqm | 10,490,000 |

Studio (43 sqm) — Smartly designed open-plan living with 3-metre ceilings, central AC, and smart tech. The most accessible entry into Jabali and ideal for investors targeting the corporate short-stay market.
1 Bedroom (64 sqm) — Proper bedroom-living separation with an open-plan kitchen flowing to a balcony. The rental market workhorse — broad tenant appeal, consistent demand.
2 Bedroom Master Ensuite (106 sqm) — Family-capable space with an en-suite master, separate family bathroom, and a living area scaled for daily life. The most popular configuration for couples and small families.
2 Bedroom All Ensuite (124 sqm) — Every bedroom gets its own private bathroom. A significant comfort upgrade that commands higher rents, particularly from corporate and expatriate tenants who expect hotel-style privacy.
3 Bedroom Master Ensuite (164 sqm) — A substantial family apartment with three proper bedrooms, generously proportioned living and dining areas, and space for a home office setup.
3 Bedroom All Ensuite (217 sqm) — Luxury family living at 217 sqm. Every bedroom en-suite, expansive communal spaces, and a footprint that exceeds many standalone houses.
3 Bedroom All Ensuite + DSQ (258 sqm) — The complete family home with a separate, self-contained domestic staff quarter. At 258 sqm, it’s larger than most 4-bedroom houses in Nairobi.
3 Bedroom Duplex (251 sqm) — Jabali’s crown jewel. Two-level living with the drama of double-height spaces, complete separation of public and private floors, and panoramic views from 31 storeys. One of the most exclusive residential propositions in Kenya.
The Surrounding Ecosystem
What sets Jabali apart from standalone towers is the district it anchors:
- 150-Room Hotel — overflow accommodation for guests, dining on your doorstep, and a stream of business travellers who may seek apartment stays
- Retail District — 35 shops and 15 restaurants creating a walkable neighbourhood, not just a building
- Grade A Office Space — daily foot traffic of professionals who are prime rental tenants
- Tatu City Infrastructure — schools, medical facilities, recreation, and conservation within the broader 5,000-acre masterplan
Amenities
- Infinity Swimming Pool with panoramic views
- Fully Equipped Fitness Centre
- Steam & Sauna wellness spaces
- Co-Working Space for remote professionals
- Resident Clubhouse
- Children’s Playgrounds
- Landscaped Courtyards & Green Zones
- Retail Street & Coffee Lounges
- 4 High-Speed Lifts per tower
- 24/7 Security, CCTV & Full Backup Generators
Payment Plan
Jabali offers one of the most structured and buyer-friendly payment plans in the Kenyan market.
- Booking reservation: KES 200,000 — secures your preferred unit
- 10% deposit: Due within 14 days of receiving the letter of offer (booking fee credited towards deposit)
- 90% balance: Payable over a maximum of 36 months, ending December 2028
Example — Studio at KES 6,100,000:
| Payment Stage | Amount (KES) |
|---|---|
| Booking Reservation | 200,000 |
| 10% Deposit (less booking) | 410,000 |
| 90% Balance (over 36 months) | 5,490,000 |
| Total | 6,100,000 |
The balance works out to approximately KES 152,500 per month — or roughly $1,175 at current exchange rates. For a smart-home studio in a 20-storey tower within Kenya’s first Special Economic Zone, that’s remarkably accessible.
Investment Potential
Jabali has already proven its investment credentials. Within six months of launch, units recorded 13.5% price growth — before construction reached visible stages. Projected annual returns of 15–25% combine rental yields and capital appreciation.
Estimated rental income:
- Studios: KES 45,000–55,000/month (gross yield ~9.8%)
- 1 Bedrooms: KES 70,000–90,000/month (gross yield ~9.2%)
- 2 Bedrooms: KES 120,000–150,000/month (gross yield ~9.9%)
The hotel-adjacent positioning also opens the door to serviced apartment strategies, where short-stay nightly rates of KES 5,000–8,000+ can generate annual income significantly above long-term rental equivalents.
