About the Signature Duplex
The duplex is the most unusual layout at 17 Zuri and, at KES 5.5M, the most expensive of the four. It is a one-bedroom home arranged over two levels: an open living and dining area with a fitted kitchen on the lower floor, and the bedroom set above it, reached by an internal staircase. Fifty-five square metres split across two floors is not a large home, and the stair itself takes some of that area — what the arrangement gives you instead is separation, and the double-height volume over the living area, which makes the space feel taller than its floor plan suggests. It is worth seeing in person, because a duplex at this size either suits you immediately or does not.
Two bathrooms across the two levels is a genuinely useful feature at this size, and it is the detail that most distinguishes the duplex from the 40 sqm 1-bedroom apartment, which has one.
On price, our records agree on this unit: the 17 Zuri development price list, this listing and our internal price field all record KES 5,500,000 as the from-price for the 55 sqm duplex.
About the Development
17 Zuri is a boutique residential scheme on Kiambu Road offering four layouts: a 23 sqm studio from KES 2.2M, a 40 sqm 1-bedroom from KES 3.5M, a 60 sqm 2-bedroom, and this signature 55 sqm 1-bedroom duplex from KES 5.5M. The duplex shares the same building, grounds and amenities as the other units. The development is currently listed as off-plan and ongoing.

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On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one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 55 sqm 1-bedroom duplex over two levels, with two bathrooms and a fitted kitchen, on Kiambu Road in Nairobi near the UN Headquarters and Kitisuru, priced from KES 5,500,000, in an off-plan development with a rooftop co-working space, swimming pool, gym, rooftop terrace, lifts, concierge reception, backup power, fibre-ready internet, 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 the signature duplex at 17 Zuri cost?
From KES 5,500,000. That figure is consistent across the 17 Zuri development price list, this listing and our own price record, so it is the one we stand behind. It is the from-price for the duplex only; the studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom layouts are priced separately.
What exactly is a 1-bedroom duplex?
A home arranged over two levels rather than one. At 17 Zuri the living and dining area and the fitted kitchen sit on the lower floor, with the bedroom above, reached by an internal staircase. It is still a one-bedroom home, just stacked instead of laid out flat.
How big is the duplex?
55 sqm in total, which is about 592 square feet, split across the two levels. That is not a large home, and the staircase takes some of the area. The double-height volume over the living space makes it feel taller than the floor plan suggests, but it is worth viewing before you decide.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does the duplex have?
One bedroom and two bathrooms, with the bathrooms split across the two levels. That second bathroom is the clearest practical difference between the duplex and the 40 sqm 1-bedroom apartment, which has one.
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 duplex 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.
