About the Astra Bay Studios
The studios are the smallest homes at Astra Bay Residence, a 12-storey off-plan building by Wimax Homes on Lower Kabete Road. They are open-plan, with large windows and internet and cable provision, and they come in two grades — standard and superior — separated by roughly four to five square metres and by price.
Buying off-plan means paying across the construction period rather than in one lump. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2027. Detailed floor plans and renders are available on request; exact layout and finishes per unit are confirmed at enquiry.
Price List by Studio Type
| Studio | 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 |
What KES 1.87M actually buys
KES 1.87M is the lowest published price at Astra Bay and it applies to one thing only: a standard studio at the bottom of the 21–26 sqm band. It is quoted as the purchase price of that unit — not a deposit, not a monthly instalment, and not a reservation figure. The payment terms sit alongside it and are separate: booking from approximately KES 100,000, a 20% deposit, and the balance across the construction period.
This is, by a clear margin, the lowest entry price in our Nairobi portfolio, so we would rather you check it than take it on trust. Ask us for the current developer price list before you commit to anything. Prices at Astra Bay have moved as the development has progressed, and the figure attached to a specific unit on the day you buy is the only one that counts.

Verified Amenities
Studio 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.
Location and Connectivity
Astra Bay is on Lower Kabete Road in Lower Kabete. 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 to the other landmarks have been published, so we are not quoting any. Traffic on Lower Kabete Road varies widely by time of day; we would rather arrange a site visit at your commuting hour than give you a number we cannot stand behind.
Payment Plan
- Booking from approximately KES 100,000
- 20% deposit
- Balance payable over the construction period, to completion in Q2 2027
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 standard studio is published at KES 1.87M to KES 2.42M for 21–26 sqm and the superior studio at KES 2.25M to KES 2.92M for 25–31.5 sqm; 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 KES 1.87M buy?
It buys a standard studio at the small end of the 21 to 26 sqm band — the smallest layout at Astra Bay Residence. KES 1.87M is published as the full purchase price of that unit, not a deposit, not a reservation fee and not a monthly instalment on a payment plan. The plan terms are quoted separately: booking from approximately KES 100,000, a 20% deposit, and the balance over the construction period. Because this is an unusually low entry price for Nairobi, confirm it against the current price list with us before you commit.
What is the difference between a standard and a superior studio?
Size and price. Standard studios are 21 to 26 sqm and published at KES 1.87M to KES 2.42M. Superior studios are 25 to 31.5 sqm and published at KES 2.25M to KES 2.92M.
How many bedrooms does a studio have?
None in the separate-room sense. A studio is a single open-plan living and sleeping space, which is why it is listed with zero bedrooms rather than one.
Are the studios ready or off-plan?
Off-plan and under construction. Completion is scheduled for Q2 2027, stated as June 2027. Confirm the latest programme at enquiry.
What payment plan is available?
Booking from approximately KES 100,000, a 20% deposit, and the balance payable over the construction period to completion in Q2 2027. Exact milestones and any mortgage options are confirmed at enquiry.
What amenities do studio residents get?
The full building set: 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.
