About the Astra Bay One-Bedroom Apartments
The one-bedroom apartments sit between the studios and the two-bedrooms at Astra Bay Residence, a 12-storey off-plan building by Wimax Homes on Lower Kabete Road. They are offered in three forms: a standard one-bedroom, a loft configuration, and units with a private courtyard. Standard one-bedrooms are published at 42.74 to 50.28 sqm. The sizes of the loft and courtyard layouts have not been published, so we have not stated them.
Buying off-plan means paying across the construction period rather than in one lump. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2027. Floor plans and renders are available on request, and the exact layout, size and finishes of any specific unit are confirmed at enquiry.
A note on the one-bedroom price
The published one-bedroom pricing for this development is inconsistent across the developer material we hold, and we would rather say so than pick a number. Approximately KES 2.96M is quoted for a loft layout, and approximately KES 4.07M for a standard one-bedroom, rising to approximately KES 4.86M. This page previously carried a figure of KES 4.23M, which we could not corroborate against either source, so we have removed it.
The from-price shown on this listing is therefore KES 2.96M, being the lowest published one-bedroom figure we hold, and it refers to the loft layout rather than the standard one-bedroom. It is quoted as a purchase price, not a deposit and not a monthly instalment: the payment terms are stated separately as booking from approximately KES 100,000, a 20% deposit, and the balance over the construction period. We will not average the conflicting figures. Ask us for the current price list and we will quote the actual figure for the layout you want.

Verified Amenities
One-bedroom residents have access to the full building amenity set published for Astra Bay Residence: a fully equipped gym, a jogging track, outdoor green areas, a gaming room, indoor activity space, a social corridor, an on-site convenience store, high-speed lifts, borehole water, a backup generator, and 24-hour CCTV with access control.
A swimming pool, rooftop cinema, basketball court and kids’ play area appear on some third-party listings for this development but are not in the published amenity schedule we hold. We have left them out rather than repeat them. If any of these matter to you, ask and we will confirm in writing with the developer.
Location and Connectivity
Astra Bay is on Lower Kabete Road in Lower Kabete, on the north-western side of Nairobi. The landmarks nearest to it are Sarit Centre and the Westlands commercial district, Waiyaki Way, Gigiri and the UN Complex, and the Nairobi CBD, with schools, hospitals and shopping centres serving the surrounding area.
The only journey time published for this development is a broad guide of roughly 5–15 minutes to Sarit Centre and Westlands. No measured distances or drive times to the other landmarks have been published, so we are not quoting any. Traffic on Lower Kabete Road varies sharply by time of day, and an invented figure would not help you. We are happy to arrange a site visit at a time of day that matches your commute.
Payment Plan
- Booking from approximately KES 100,000
- 20% deposit
- Balance payable over the construction period, to completion in Q2 2027
Exact payment milestones, mortgage options and title particulars are confirmed at enquiry. Ask us for the payment schedule in writing before you pay a booking fee.
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 the one-bedroom apartments at Astra Bay Residence are offered in standard, loft and courtyard layouts; that the standard one-bedroom is published at 42.74 to 50.28 sqm; that the lowest published one-bedroom price we hold is approximately KES 2.96M for a loft layout, with approximately KES 4.07M to KES 4.86M published for a standard one-bedroom; that this is an off-plan purchase completing in Q2 2027; and that the terms are booking from approximately KES 100,000, a 20% deposit and the balance over the construction period. 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
Exactly what does the KES 2.96M from-price buy?
It is the lowest price published for a one-bedroom at Astra Bay Residence and it is quoted for the loft layout, not for the standard one-bedroom.

The developer material we hold also carries approximately KES 4.07M for a standard one-bedroom, and this page previously showed KES 4.23M, which we could not corroborate. We will not average them.
