A Development Designed for Connected, Low-Fuss Living

Syokimau has grown into one of the more practical places to live along the Mombasa Road corridor, and Artesano is positioned to make the most of it. The draw is connectivity: the Nairobi Expressway is roughly 200 metres away, JKIA and the SGR Syokimau station are only minutes on, and Mombasa Road puts everyday retail and services close at hand.

Inside the development, the emphasis is on comfortable, contemporary apartments with good natural light and layouts that make sense for real day-to-day living. Larger homes include a dedicated DSQ, and the shared amenities — pool, gym, clubhouse, children’s play area and secure parking — are the kind that add convenience without adding fuss. It’s a home base built around ease of movement and ease of ownership.

Location Advantage

Artesano sits in Syokimau, just off Mombasa Road, in one of the best-connected parts of the Greater Nairobi metropolitan area.

• Nairobi Expressway — approximately 200 metres from access, for a quick, tolled run into the city.
• Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) — only minutes away, ideal for frequent flyers and airport-linked professionals.
• SGR Syokimau station — the Standard Gauge Railway terminus is close by, connecting to Mombasa and beyond.
• Everyday retail — Gateway Mall, Naivas Food Market and Signature Mall are all within easy reach for shopping, groceries and services.
• Mombasa Road corridor — established road links, fuel stations, eateries and services along one of the country’s key arterial routes.

This combination of the airport, the railway, the expressway and nearby retail is a durable, structural strength of the location rather than a passing trend — connectivity of this kind tends to keep an address in steady demand.

Payment Plan

Artesano is offered on a phased, off-plan basis, with a deposit followed by instalments spread across the construction period. The deposit is 20%, with the balance paid in instalments over the build.

Because the exact deposit, instalment structure and completion timelines vary by phase, please request the latest payment schedule and price list at the point of enquiry so we can walk you through the precise terms for your chosen unit.

Mortgage financing. For buyers who prefer to finance, Artesano can be considered alongside mortgage options from our partner banks: Absa, Stanbic, NCBA, KCB, HFC, Standard Chartered and Prime Bank. Block can help you compare indicative terms and connect you with the right lender.

Buying from the diaspora. Kenyans and friends of Kenya living abroad can purchase remotely with ease. A valid passport or Alien ID is sufficient to buy; Block handles your KRA PIN registration, guides you through the 4% stamp duty, and supports the full purchase remotely so you can complete without needing to travel.

Why It Works for Homeowners

Artesano is built around ease of living. The shared amenities — pool, gym, clubhouse and a children’s play area — cover the essentials for families and individuals alike, while the secure, gated compound, 24/7 CCTV, standby generator and reliable water supply mean the practicalities are handled. High-speed elevators and secure two-level parking keep daily comings and goings simple.

The location does a lot of the work: for anyone who commutes into the city, travels often, or simply wants shopping and services close by, being minutes from the expressway, JKIA and the SGR is a real, everyday convenience. The range of sizes — from studios through to four-bedroom homes with a DSQ — means there’s a fit for different life stages, from a first home to a growing family that needs the extra space and staff quarters.

Why It Works for Investors

For buyers thinking about a longer-term hold, the case for Artesano rests on location fundamentals and the scarcity of well-connected, well-built apartment stock in this corridor.

• A genuinely strategic address. Proximity to JKIA, the SGR terminus and ~200m from the Nairobi Expressway places the development at the intersection of major transit and employment nodes — the kind of structural connectivity that supports lasting desirability.
• Everyday demand drivers. Established retail (Gateway, Naivas, Signature), road links and services make the area livable and practical, which is what sustains interest in a location over time.
• A useful spread of unit sizes. With everything from studios to four-bedroom homes plus DSQ, the development offers flexibility to match different buyer strategies and price points within a single scheme.
• Phased, off-plan entry. Buying during the build allows you to secure a unit at the current price for your chosen phase.

In keeping with how Block advises, we don’t publish projected rental figures, occupancy rates or appreciation forecasts for Artesano. We’d encourage any investor to seek independent valuation advice and to request the latest price list and payment schedule so your decision rests on current, verified numbers.
