Location and Connectivity
Balkis Residences sits on Riverside Drive, between Westlands and Gigiri, surrounded by embassies, international organisations and prime office towers on mature tree-lined streets. Westlands is the nearest commercial centre for shopping, dining and offices; the Gigiri diplomatic quarter lies to the north.
No drive times or distances have been published for this development, so we do not quote any here. We are glad to time the drive from your own office during a viewing.
On 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On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one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 66 to 69 sqm one-bedroom apartment at Balkis Residences on Riverside Drive in Riverside, Westlands, Nairobi, for sale from KES 7,900,000, the entry layout in a development that also offers two and three bedroom homes up to 210 sqm, in an established diplomatic and corporate district between Westlands and Gigiri. 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.
