About the 1-Bedroom Apartment
The 1-bedroom is the step up from the studio at 17 Zuri, and it is still a small home: 40 square metres holding a living area, a fitted kitchen, a bathroom and one partitioned bedroom. What the extra seventeen square metres buys you over the studio is a door between the bed and everything else, which matters more day to day than the floor area suggests. It suits one person or a couple, or a buyer who wants a lock-up-and-leave base on the Kiambu Road corridor. If your reference point is a 60 or 70 sqm one-bedroom elsewhere in Nairobi, view this one before you decide.
On price, our records agree on this unit: the development price list, this listing and our internal price field all record KES 3,500,000 as the from-price for the 40 sqm 1-bedroom. An earlier version of this page carried KES 5.5M in its heading, which is the price of the signature 1-bedroom duplex, not this apartment. That figure has been removed.
About the Development
17 Zuri is a boutique residential scheme on Kiambu Road offering four layouts: a 23 sqm studio from KES 2.2M, this 40 sqm 1-bedroom from KES 3.5M, a 60 sqm 2-bedroom, and a signature 55 sqm 1-bedroom duplex from KES 5.5M. The 1-bedroom shares the same building, grounds and amenities as the other units. The development is currently listed as off-plan and ongoing.
Amenities
- Rooftop co-working space with panoramic views — useful when 40 sqm leaves little room for a permanent desk.
- Swimming pool and a fully equipped gym.
- Rooftop terrace and courtyard lounges with landscaped outdoor areas.
- Fitted kitchen in the unit.
- Reception and concierge, plus high-speed lifts.
- 24/7 gated security with CCTV surveillance and access control.
- Backup generator, cabro-paved parking and a kids play area.
Location and Connectivity
17 Zuri sits on the Kiambu Road corridor, close to the UN Headquarters and major embassies and bordering the Kitisuru area. Road connections run to Westlands and the Nairobi CBD, and the surrounding corridor carries international schools, shopping malls and medical centres. We have not published door-to-door drive times, because they vary too much with traffic to be useful; we are happy to share the map pin and walk the routes with you on a site visit.
The Investment Case
On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one can guarantee them. What can be said plainly is that this is a 40 sqm 1-bedroom apartment with one bathroom and a fitted kitchen, on Kiambu Road in Nairobi near the UN Headquarters and Kitisuru, priced from KES 3,500,000, in an off-plan development with a rooftop co-working space, swimming pool, gym, rooftop terrace, lifts, concierge reception, backup power, cabro-paved parking and 24/7 gated security with CCTV. The developer, completion programme, payment terms and tenure are not published for this listing and are confirmed at enquiry. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings and connect you with independent advisers.
If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and on applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a 1-bedroom at 17 Zuri cost?
From KES 3,500,000. That is the from-price for the 40 sqm 1-bedroom apartment only; the studio, the 2-bedroom and the signature duplex at 17 Zuri are priced separately. Confirm the current price list and what is included with us before you commit.
Why did this page previously show KES 5.5M?
Because a heading on the old version carried the price of the signature 1-bedroom duplex, which is a different unit. The 40 sqm 1-bedroom apartment is from KES 3,500,000, and that figure is confirmed by the development price list and by our own price record for this listing.
How big is the 17 Zuri 1-bedroom?
40 sqm, which is about 431 square feet. It is a compact home: a living area, a fitted kitchen, one bathroom and a single partitioned bedroom. If your reference point is a larger one-bedroom elsewhere in Nairobi, it is worth viewing before deciding.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does it have?
One bedroom and one bathroom. Unlike the studio, the bedroom here is partitioned off from the living area.
Where exactly is 17 Zuri?
On the Kiambu Road corridor in Nairobi, close to the UN Headquarters and the Kitisuru area, with road connections towards Westlands and the Nairobi CBD. We do not publish drive times because traffic makes them unreliable, but we can share the pin and arrange a site visit.
Can I buy from abroad?
Yes, buyers based outside Kenya do purchase here, and the process is normally handled remotely through an advocate acting under a power of attorney. Ownership terms, documentation and any requirements that apply to non-citizens should be confirmed with your own advocate and with us before you commit funds.
Can I furnish the unit and short-let it?
That is not something we can promise. Whether a unit may be furnished and short-let depends on the building management rules and on the regulations in force at the time, and both can change. Get the position in writing before you buy. We publish no income or occupancy projections.
Is 17 Zuri finished, and when can I move in?
The development is listed as off-plan and ongoing. We do not have a published completion date on file for this listing, so ask us and we will confirm the developer programme in writing rather than give you an estimate.
