Description
A spacious one-bedroom sits in a useful middle ground: comfortable for one or two people, more manageable than a family home, and often easier to let or resell than smaller units.
At Longines Bay, the 1-bedroom apartments are 72 sqm and priced from KES 6.7 million. The development is mixed-use, located on Karbanet Road off Ngong Road, and combines residential apartments, retail space and a wide set of lifestyle facilities in a single address.

A Development Designed for Balanced Urban Living
At 72 sqm, these 1-bedroom apartments offer more room than the compact entry-level units, which suits people who want space to work from home, entertain or simply spread out.
The wider development supports that lifestyle: a co-working space for days you’d rather not work at home, a pool and courtyard garden for downtime, and rooftop facilities for recreation.

Why It Works for Homeowners
- Room to live and work. 72 sqm offers more flexibility than smaller units.
- Shared spaces that add to your home. A pool, co-working space, courtyard and rooftop areas extend day-to-day life.
- A mixed-use address. Retail and dining on-site can reduce everyday errands.
- Building infrastructure. Backup generator, borehole water, CCTV and high-speed lifts are planned.
Why It Works for Investors
- A widely understood unit type. One-bedrooms are a familiar product for tenants and buyers.
- Mixed-use setting. On-site amenities and retail can add to appeal.
- Hotel-managed option. The development includes a hotel-managed investment block with a proposed 5-year guaranteed rental income and a targeted ROI of about 11% for qualifying units. Whether 1-bedroom units qualify, and the exact terms, are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. These are the developer’s proposed terms, subject to applicable agreements, and are not a guarantee by Block Real Estate.
For other units, returns depend on market conditions, and off-plan purchases involve a waiting period until 2029. We can share comparable data on request.
Finishes and Specifications
Detailed finishes haven’t been provided. Please request the specification schedule covering flooring, kitchen and bathroom fittings, joinery, and included appliances. To be confirmed at point of enquiry.
Who This Development Suits Best
- Young professionals and couples wanting more space than a studio
- Buyers who work from home and value a shared co-working option
- Investors seeking a mid-priced unit in a mixed-use development
