A Development Designed for Connected Urban Living
Longines Bay is built around a simple idea: fewer errands and more time at home. Residents can live upstairs while a supermarket, cafés, restaurants, a pharmacy and everyday services sit within the same address.
Around that convenience, the plans include social and wellness spaces such as a pool, co-working space, rooftop sports areas and cinemas. The commercial floors are also open to the wider neighbourhood, so the development is meant to feel like part of Kilimani rather than closed off from it.
The design language draws on a calm coastal palette of sand, driftwood and warm brass, with generous glazing to bring in light and views.
Unit Types
Prices are indicative bands. Floor level, view and stack all move the final price, so please request the latest price list for exact figures.

| Studio | 39 sqm | 3.7 million to 4.5 million |
| Studio | 40 sqm | 4.5 million to 4.9 million |

The 39 sqm studio is the lowest entry point and is compact. We recommend walking through the drawings carefully before you reserve.
Retail and commercial spaces are intended for convenience retail, food and beverage, offices and services. Permitted use, service charge and parking for commercial buyers should be confirmed separately from the residential sheet.

Developer marketing materials may reference additional amenities, and the amenity count differs between sources. Please ask us to confirm which amenities are included in the approved plans before you commit.
Location Advantage
Karbanet Road sits off Ngong Road on the Kilimani grid, close to Adams Arcade, The Junction and the Ngong Road bus corridor. It is a well-established part of Nairobi with strong access to shopping, healthcare, schools and offices.
Indicative travel times from developer materials (these vary with traffic):
| Destination | Approximate Travel Time |
|---|---|
| Prestige Plaza | 3 minutes |
| Nairobi Royal Golf Club | 5 minutes |
| Yaya Centre | 6 minutes |
| China Town | 7 minutes |
| The Nairobi Hospital | 8 minutes |
| JKIA | 15 minutes |
We suggest driving the route at the times you would normally travel. Nairobi journeys can differ a lot between mid-morning and the evening peak.
Payment Plan
The deposit terms, instalment schedule and handover-linked milestones are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. Please request the latest payment schedule and price list for the specific unit you are considering.
Before you reserve, ask for written confirmation of:
- Unit availability, floor and stack
- Parking allocation
- Deposit, instalment structure and completion payments
- Service-charge estimate
- Sale agreement and approved specifications
Why It Works for Homeowners
- A range of entry points. From studios at KES 3.7 million to duplexes for larger households, there is a route in at most budgets.
- Daily convenience. Groceries, dining, pharmacy and services are on site, and the Ngong Road corridor is close.
- Lifestyle spaces on your doorstep. A pool, co-working space, play area and rooftop social spaces reduce the need to travel for leisure.
- Family-sized options. The 2-bedroom apartments (87 to 94 sqm) and the 3 and 5 bedroom duplexes suit those who need more room.
Why It Works for Investors
Ngong Road has established occupier and rental demand, which supports the case for a well-located Kilimani unit. That said, demand does not guarantee occupancy, rental income or resale value, and we would encourage every buyer to model their own numbers conservatively.
Hotel-managed option (Block 2). Selected units can sit under hotel-style management. Developer materials describe a proposed five-year rental arrangement with a targeted return of around 11% on qualifying units. These are terms to be confirmed in the sale and management agreements, not market facts and not automatic on every apartment. Before relying on any figure, ask:
- Which units qualify for the programme
- What the management contract covers, and for how long
- How fees, vacancy periods and service charge are treated
- What “guaranteed” income means in the agreement
Commercial units. Shops from 27 to 180 sqm may appeal to owner-operators and investors who prefer commercial exposure. Confirm permitted use, service charge and parking separately.
Finishes and Specifications
Developer materials describe residences as delivered fully finished, with these features:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Kitchens | Imported European kitchens with stone countertops |
| Flooring | Engineered oak flooring in living areas |
| Smart home | Automation pre-wired in every unit |
| Glazing | Floor-to-ceiling glazing with low-E coating |
| Access | Fingerprint door locks |
| Interiors | Curated interior packages available on request |
Final finishes may vary by unit type and stack. Please ask for the approved specification sheet for your chosen unit.
Who This Development Suits Best
