Alba Apartments

Below is everything we currently know about the development. Where a detail is still to be confirmed, we’ve said so plainly — and our team is always happy to share the latest floor plans, price list and availability on request.

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Accessible, Everyday Urban Living

Alba Apartments is built for real life. The thinking behind it is straightforward: well-sized, modern units, a secure and properly managed building, and a location that keeps you connected to the city — all at a price that makes sense. For a first home, a step up from renting, or a sensible buy-to-let, that combination is genuinely valuable.

The range of unit types, from compact studios to two-bedroom homes, means there’s a fit for different needs and budgets, whether you’re an individual finding your feet, a couple setting up home, or a small family. And because the building is newly completed, these are homes you can move into now — no waiting on construction.

Unit Types

Alba offers four unit types, available to buy or rent. The figures below are indicative; current availability, exact sizes and pricing are confirmed at point of enquiry.

• Studio — efficient, easy to maintain, and the most accessible way in, whether buying or renting.
• Junior 1 Bedroom — a compact one-bedroom for those who want a separate bedroom without a larger footprint.
• Standard 1 Bedroom — more generous one-bedroom living, with a size range to suit.
• 2 Bedroom — the largest homes, with one to two bathrooms and a DSQ; well suited to small families or sharers.

All units come with a balcony. Bathroom configurations vary by unit (the two-bedroom is listed with one to two bathrooms) — best confirmed against the latest floor plans at point of enquiry.

Amenities

Alba is a secure, well-serviced building. Confirmed amenities include:

• 24-hour security with CCTV surveillance
• Backup generator
• Borehole water supply
• Lift / elevator access
• Reserved parking and visitor parking
• Rooftop social area
• On-site management
• Disability access

The developer’s materials also reference a swimming pool, gym and children’s play area. We’d recommend confirming the current amenity list and what’s operational when you enquire.

Location Advantage

Alba Apartments sits in Riruta, in Dagoretti, on Wanyee Road just off Naivasha Road — a quiet, established residential area with quick, well-served links into the city.

• Around 20–40 minutes to the CBD off-peak (allow an extra 30–60 minutes during morning and evening rush)
• Direct matatu routes to the CBD include Route 4W, Route 24 and Route 111, with eight routes serving the area
• Reliable service hours — matatus typically run from around 5:30am to 10pm, with boda bodas and ride-hailing (Uber, Bolt, inDriver) covering later hours
• Stages within a short walk — Full Gospel Church/Kiruria, Gerick House and Suma House are all close by
• Everyday convenience — close to Dagoretti Corner, with shops, schools and services nearby

It’s a location that balances calm and connectivity: a settled residential setting to come home to, with the city comfortably within reach for work and weekends.

Payment Plan

Payment options and terms for Alba Apartments are confirmed at point of enquiry. As the building is complete, units are typically available for cash purchase or via mortgage through participating lenders, and rental options are also available. We’d encourage you to request the latest price list and confirm the terms that apply before you commit — and our team can walk you through the options, whether you’re buying or renting.

Payment terms and any deposit: to be confirmed at point of enquiry.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For homeowners, Alba’s appeal is grounded and practical. These are modern, completed homes you can move into now, in a secure and well-managed building — with the reassurance of 24-hour security, a backup generator and a reliable water supply. The accessible price points make it a realistic step into ownership, whether you’re buying your first home or moving on from renting.

The Riruta setting offers a calmer, more residential feel than the busier parts of the city, while the strong matatu links and roughly 20–40 minute off-peak commute keep you well connected for work and daily life. With a range of sizes on offer, you can match the home to your needs and budget — and grow into it over time.

Why It Works for Investors

For investors, Alba offers flexibility and an accessible entry point. Units are available both to buy and to let, with current asking rents ranging from KES 20,000 to KES 55,000 per month depending on type — useful if you’re considering a buy-to-let. The building’s security, management and strong transport links support its appeal to the tenant market in this part of Nairobi.

In keeping with how we work at Block, we don’t publish rental yield, return or occupancy projections — figures like these depend on factors no listing can promise, and the rents above are indicative rather than guaranteed. What we’d encourage instead is straightforward due diligence: request the price list, confirm the current rents and availability, review the title, and assess the numbers independently. We’re glad to provide the documentation to support that.

Finishes and Specifications

Alba’s apartments are finished for modern, comfortable living. Features include:

• Fitted kitchens
• Private balconies
• Lift access throughout the building

The two-bedroom units are listed with additional features including a DSQ, patio, fireplace, solar water heating, air conditioning, an intercom, a laundry area and a pantry. Which of these extend to the studios and one-bedroom units is best confirmed against the latest floor plans and specification sheet at point of enquiry.

Detailed specifications, title and any service charge: to be confirmed at point of enquiry.

• Renters — wanting a quality, well-managed building with flexible unit options
