Graylands Industrial Park: Completed Warehouse Units in Athi River

Graylands Industrial Park is one of Athi River’s most established industrial addresses — a multi-phase warehousing development by Purple Dot International Ltd that has grown steadily since its earliest phases were completed in the mid-2010s. Phases 4 through 7 are now complete, offering 7,750 sq ft warehouse units built for light industry, storage, and assembly use, in a part of Machakos County that’s become a genuine alternative to Nairobi’s more congested Industrial Area.

Graylands appeals to two kinds of buyers at once: investors looking for a completed, tenant-ready industrial asset, and businesses looking for warehouse space they can occupy directly. Both are working from the same starting point — a proven, multi-phase development rather than an unbuilt promise.

A Development Designed for Established Industrial Investment

Graylands has been built out in stages since 2015, and Phases 4 through 7 represent the most recent, completed chapter of that growth — driven, according to the developer, by sustained demand from light industries and SMEs needing storage and assembly space. Each phase adds 36 warehouse units of 7,750 sq ft, built to the same three-level format Purple Dot has used across its industrial portfolio: warehouse floor space on the ground level, with office and amenity space above.

Because these phases are already complete, buyers are looking at a tangible, inspectable asset rather than a floor plan and a completion date. That’s a meaningfully different proposition to an off-plan purchase, and worth weighing accordingly.

Unit Types

Standard Warehouse Unit (Phases 4–7)

• 7,750 sq ft per unit
• Three-level format, consistent with Purple Dot’s standard warehouse-plus-office design used across their industrial parks
• 36 units per phase, across four completed phases

Exact floor-by-floor specifications, current unit availability, and pricing for Phases 4 through 7 are to be confirmed at point of enquiry — request the latest brochure and price list from Block.

Amenities

• 3-phase power connection
• Common area generator
• Ample common-area roads (approximately 27 metres wide) for loading and offloading
• Sewer connection
• Combined council and borehole water connection, with high-capacity storage tanks
• CCTV surveillance and 24-hour security patrol
• Electric perimeter fence with razor wire
• New, direct access road into the industrial park

Location Advantage

Graylands sits in Athi River, Machakos County, just off the Mombasa–Nairobi Highway — part of the broader Mombasa Road–Mlolongo–Athi River corridor that’s become genuinely popular with logistics and storage businesses in recent years, thanks to straightforward access both into Nairobi and out toward Mombasa Port. The park’s new, direct access road adds a further practical improvement to getting in and out of the site.

Athi River’s position just outside Nairobi’s core has made it a natural release valve for businesses outgrowing the city’s more congested Industrial Area, while still keeping them close enough to serve the same customer and supplier base.

Payment Plan

Leasing a standard warehouse unit at Graylands is priced at KES 180,000 per month plus VAT. Confirm with Block whether service charge is included in this rate or billed separately, as this can vary by phase.

Purchase pricing for Phase 4 through 7 units is to be confirmed at point of enquiry — request the latest price list and payment schedule from Block, as pricing on completed, multi-phase developments like this can vary by unit and by phase.

Financing support is available through Block’s partner banks, including Absa, Stanbic, NCBA, KCB, HFC, Standard Chartered, and Prime Bank, for businesses and investors structuring a purchase.

Buying or investing from abroad? A passport or Alien ID is sufficient to begin the process, and Block can manage the practical steps — including KRA PIN registration and stamp duty — on your behalf, with the purchase completed remotely if required.

Why It Works for Occupiers

• Units are already complete, so there’s no build timeline to plan around before moving in
• The 7,750 sq ft format suits light industry, storage, and assembly use without over- or under-sizing for smaller operators
• 3-phase power, dedicated water infrastructure, and round-the-clock security are already in place and proven, rather than promised
• A new, direct access road improves day-to-day logistics for getting trucks and goods in and out

Why It Works for Investors

• Graylands has a long, multi-phase track record in Athi River stretching back to 2015, which gives buyers a genuine history to assess rather than a first-of-its-kind proposition
• Completed status removes construction and delivery risk from the buying decision
• Consistent demand from light industry and SME tenants, as described by the developer, reflects the kind of tenant base this unit size and location tend to attract
• The option to buy a unit and lease it to an occupying business is well-established at Graylands, with a straightforward, already-proven building format

Block does not provide rental yield, occupancy, or appreciation projections. We encourage investors to request current pricing and independently assess demand fundamentals, including realistic tenant expectations for this unit size and location, before committing.

Finishes and Specifications

Warehouse units at Graylands follow Purple Dot’s standard three-level industrial format used across their Athi River developments, with warehouse floor space at ground level and office or amenity space above. Exact interior specifications, finishes, and any variation between Phases 4 through 7 are to be confirmed at point of enquiry — request the latest floor plans from Block.

Who This Development Suits Best

• Light industrial, storage, and assembly businesses looking for warehouse space that’s ready now, not on a future completion date
• SMEs seeking a mid-sized 7,750 sq ft footprint without committing to a larger custom-built facility
• Investors seeking a completed industrial asset with a long, multi-phase development history behind it
• Buyers who want to lease their unit to an occupying tenant business, rather than occupy it themselves
