The studio apartment at Modern City Kilimani offers a compact and thoughtfully positioned entry into Nairobi’s urban residential market.

Measuring approximately 43 sqm (463 sq. ft.), the apartment is designed for buyers who value efficiency, convenience and access to shared lifestyle amenities without taking on more space than they need.

Prices start from approximately KES 5.2 million, making the studio the most accessible apartment within the Modern City development.

For an owner-occupier, it can provide a manageable first home or Nairobi city base.

Designed for Efficient Urban Living

The studio format brings the main living and sleeping functions together within one practical residence while retaining access to the wider facilities available at Modern City.

For professionals spending much of the day outside the home, the compact format can be particularly practical.
