Astra Bay Residence

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Smart, Affordable Living

Astra Bay is aimed at first-time buyers, young professionals and investors who want a modern building with the services that make daily life easier. It has high-speed lifts, borehole water, a backup generator and 24-hour CCTV with access control, plus a gym, jogging track, swimming pool and social hall.

Unit Types

Prices vary with floor and position, so ask Block Real Estate for the current price list before you commit.

Both studios are open plan, with large windows and internet and cable provision. The superior studio gives you about 5 sqm more gross area. Studios are on the lower ground to 6th floors, and superior studios are available from the lower ground up to the 9th floor.

Location Advantage

Astra Bay is on Lower Kabete Road, just across the Nairobi boundary in Kiambu County. The developer’s estimated drive times, which vary with traffic, are about 10 minutes to Waiyaki Way, 15 minutes to Two Rivers Mall, 20 minutes to Sarit Centre, 30 minutes to the CBD and 40 minutes to JKIA.

Both University of Nairobi campuses at Kabete are about 3 km away, and Westlands is about 12 km by straight line. Block Real Estate can arrange a site visit at the hour you would commute.

Payment Plan

• Booking: from about KES 100,000 to secure a unit
• Deposit: 20% on signing the Letter of Offer
• Balance: 80%, paid quarterly or monthly during construction
• Completion: Q2 2027 (June 2027)

Ask for the payment schedule in writing before you pay a booking fee. Budget for stamp duty at 4% on top of the price.

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
• Dependable services, with borehole water and a backup generator
• 24-hour CCTV and access control

Why It Works for Investors

Astra Bay’s case is its entry price. Studios are the size single tenants such as students and young professionals tend to look for, and two University of Nairobi campuses are about 3 km away.

The developer’s brochure estimates monthly rent at KES 22,000 to 25,000 for a studio and KES 25,000 to 28,000 for a superior studio. These are the developer’s estimates, not guarantees. As an off-plan purchase completing in 2027, weigh the build programme and treat rents and resale values as unguaranteed. If you plan to let furnished or as a short stay, check the building’s management rules first.

Finishes and Specifications

• Open-plan layouts with large windows
• Internet and cable provision
• High-speed lifts
• Borehole water supply and backup generator
• 24-hour CCTV and access control
• Gym, jogging track and swimming pool
• Ample parking

Who This Development Suits Best

• First-time buyers who want to own a studio for under KES 3M, paid in stages
• Investors building a portfolio of small rental units near the Kabete campuses
• Diaspora Kenyans looking for an affordable first property in Nairobi
• Young professionals who want a new studio with a gym on site

It suits less well buyers who need more than one bedroom or must move in before mid-2027.
