About Astra Bay Residence
Astra Bay Residence is a 12-storey apartment building on Lower Kabete Road, developed by Wimax Homes. It is sold off-plan and is under construction, with completion scheduled for Q2 2027. The unit mix is deliberately weighted towards smaller homes: standard and superior studios, one-bedroom apartments in standard, loft and courtyard layouts, and a small number of two-bedroom apartments.
Because it is an off-plan purchase, you buy at today’s published price and pay across the construction period. Sizes, layouts and prices have changed as the development has progressed, so every figure on this page should be confirmed against the developer’s current price list before you commit. Where a detail has not been published, we have said so rather than estimated it.
Price List by Unit Type
The figures below are the prices published for this development. They are indicative, and exact size, availability and price for any specific unit are confirmed against the current price list at enquiry.
| Unit type | Size | Published price |
|---|---|---|
| Standard studio | 21–26 sqm (approx. 226–280 sqft) | KES 1.87M – 2.42M |
| Superior studio | 25–31.5 sqm (approx. 269–339 sqft) | KES 2.25M – 2.92M |
| 1 bedroom loft | Not published | approx. KES 2.96M |
| 1 bedroom | 42.74–50.28 sqm (approx. 460–541 sqft) | from approx. KES 4.07M, up to approx. KES 4.86M |
| 2 bedroom | approx. 78.3 sqm (approx. 843 sqft) | KES 6.37M – 7.14M |
A note on the KES 1.87M figure. KES 1.87M is the lowest published purchase price at Astra Bay and it applies to the standard studio of approximately 21–26 sqm — the smallest layout in the building. It is quoted as a purchase price, not as a deposit or a monthly instalment: the payment terms are stated separately as a 20% deposit with the balance over the construction period, and booking from approximately KES 100,000. It is a notably low entry price for Nairobi, so please confirm the current price list with us before relying on it.
Separately, the published one-bedroom pricing is inconsistent across the developer material we hold — approximately KES 2.96M is quoted for a loft layout and approximately KES 4.07M for a standard one-bedroom. We will not average the two. Ask us for the current price list and we will quote the actual figure for the layout you want.
Unit Types
Studios
Studios come in two grades. The standard studio runs 21–26 sqm and is the unit the KES 1.87M from-price refers to. The superior studio runs 25–31.5 sqm and starts at approximately KES 2.25M. Both are open-plan, with large windows and internet and cable provision.
One-bedroom apartments
Standard one-bedrooms are published at 42.74–50.28 sqm. Loft configurations and units with a private courtyard are also offered; the sizes of the loft and courtyard layouts have not been published, and are confirmed at enquiry.
Two-bedroom apartments
The two-bedrooms are the largest homes in the building at approximately 78.3 sqm (843 sqft), published from KES 6.37M to KES 7.14M. The number of two-bedroom units in the scheme has not been published; current availability is confirmed at enquiry.

Location and Connectivity
Astra Bay Residence sits on Lower Kabete Road in Lower Kabete, on the north-western side of the city. The landmarks nearest to it are Sarit Centre and the wider Westlands commercial district, Waiyaki Way, Gigiri and the UN Complex, and the Nairobi CBD. Schools, hospitals and shopping centres serve the surrounding area.
The only drive time published for this development is a broad guide of roughly 5–15 minutes to Sarit Centre and Westlands. No measured distances or journey times to the other landmarks have been published, so we are not giving any — Lower Kabete Road traffic 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 Astra Bay Residence is a 12-storey off-plan development by Wimax Homes on Lower Kabete Road; that published prices run from KES 1.87M for a standard studio of 21–26 sqm to approximately KES 7.14M for a two-bedroom of approximately 78.3 sqm; that completion is scheduled for Q2 2027; and that the terms are a 20% deposit with the balance over the construction period, booking from approximately KES 100,000. 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.
