Purple Tower

Purple Tower, Mombasa Road: Grade A Offices to Buy or Lease in Nairobi

Purple Tower is a 62-metre mixed-use development on Mombasa Road, set just above the Nairobi Expressway. It brings together three levels of showroom, restaurant and parking space beneath twelve floors of Grade A offices, all organised around a full-height open atrium that draws natural light and fresh air through the building.

For businesses looking for a well-connected address, the location does a lot of the work. The CBD, Upper Hill, Industrial Area, Wilson Airport, the SGR terminal and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport are all within practical reach, and the building’s multiple entry and exit points ease the journey to and from Westlands, Limuru Road, Mlolongo and Athi River.

The tower was designed to EDGE sustainability standards and was recognised at the International Property Awards (2022–2023) for Best Commercial High Rise Development in Africa. Whether you want to buy or lease, the offices are flexible, starting from 1,771 sq ft, so they can work for a growing team or an established company.

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Productive, Well-Connected Business

Purple Tower is built around the idea that a good office should help people work well. The central open atrium, named “Brahma” and inspired by Indian Vaastu principles, runs the full height of the building. It improves cross-ventilation and daylight, and its green wall and planted lobby give the arrival experience a calm, unhurried feel.

Outside, aluminium sun shading and high-performance thermal glass reduce heat gain, which in turn lessens the reliance on air conditioning. Inside, the layout is efficient and flexible, with an optical distribution frame built in for fibre connectivity.

At street level, a dedicated drop-off point sits at the main entrance foyer, so visitors can be dropped off without entering the building directly. A grab-and-go café at reception, a multicuisine restaurant and showroom space add to the mix, so the building works as a place to meet clients as well as a place to work.

Unit Types

The offices are designed to be subdivided around each tenant’s needs. The typical floor below (Levels 3 to 13) shows how a floor plate can be split into up to eight spaces. Actual combinations depend on what is available and what you need.

Amenities

Location Advantage

Purple Tower sits on Mombasa Road, one of Nairobi’s busiest commercial corridors, directly beside the Nairobi Expressway. The area is a long-established mix of industrial, automotive, logistics and commercial activity, with South B, South C and Langata residential neighbourhoods close by.

As with any Nairobi address, travel times depend on the time of day, so we recommend visiting at the hours your team would actually commute.

Payment Plan

Purple Tower is available to buy or lease. Pricing, payment terms and lease conditions are to be confirmed at point of enquiry, and we will share the latest price list and schedule on request. Because terms can differ by space, floor and buyer or tenant, we recommend reviewing the full documentation before committing.

Why It Works for Homeowners

(For businesses and owner-occupiers who plan to use the space themselves)

• Room to grow: Offices start from 1,771 sq ft and can be subdivided or combined, so the space can fit a small team today and a larger one later.
• Comfortable working environment: The atrium, thermal glass, external sun shading and openable windows are all there to support natural light and airflow.
• Lower running costs by design: EDGE design targets 27% energy savings and 41% water savings, supported by energy-saving lighting, occupancy sensors, low-flow fixtures and solar photovoltaics.
• A strong first impression: A drop-off zone, landscaped lobby, café and showrooms give clients a welcoming arrival.
• Business continuity: Backup power, borehole water and a large storage tank help keep operations running.
• Connected from day one: A built-in optical distribution frame supports fibre connections.

Why It Works for Investors

• A recognised, purpose-built commercial address: A Grade A building with an international award and an established developer.
• Mixed income sources in one building: Offices, showrooms, a restaurant and a café give the development a varied tenant base.
• Flexible layouts: Spaces that can be subdivided from 1,771 sq ft may suit a wide range of tenants.
• Sustainability credentials: EDGE design is increasingly valued by corporate occupiers and may support tenant interest.
• Strong transport links: Access to the Expressway, Mombasa Road, airports and the CBD.

We do not make promises about rental yields, occupancy or capital growth. Returns vary with the unit, the market and the lease terms, so we encourage independent financial and legal advice before investing.

Finishes and Specifications

Interior fit-out is left to each occupier, so you can shape the space to your own brand and working style.
