Overview
About Astra Bay Residence
Astra Bay Residence offers four one bedroom layouts: the standard one bedroom (Types A and B), the loft and the superior loft. Prices run from KES 3.48M to KES 4.89M. The building is by Wimax Homes, on Lower Kabete Road, with completion scheduled for Q2 2027.
If you want more room than a studio but a lower price than a two bedroom, these homes sit in the middle. The lofts offer the lowest entry price, and the standard one bedrooms give the largest floor area.
- Three layouts to match your space and budget
- A new building with a gym, pool and jogging track
- Dependable services, with borehole water and a backup generator
- A staged payment plan that spreads the cost over construction

Why It Works for Homeowners
- Three layouts to match your space and budget
- A new building with a gym, pool and jogging track
- Dependable services, with borehole water and a backup generator
- A staged payment plan that spreads the cost over construction
Why It Works for Investors
- Lower entry prices than the two bedrooms, from KES 3.48M
- Demand from single tenants and young professionals
- Two University of Nairobi campuses about 3 km away
The developer’s brochure estimates monthly rent at KES 32,000 to 35,000 for a loft, KES 35,000 to 38,000 for a superior loft and KES 38,000 to 42,000 for a standard one bedroom. These are the developer’s estimates, not guarantees. As an off-plan purchase completing in 2027, weigh the build programme and treat rents and resale values as unguaranteed.
