Habitat Medical Suites & Residences, Upper Hill — 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments on Ralph Bunche Road

There is something reassuring about living a few floors above one of the best-served corners of the city. Habitat Medical Suites & Residences is a striking 24-floor mixed-use tower on Ralph Bunche Road in Upper Hill — Nairobi’s business and medical heart — offering modern Mini 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments on its upper floors, from KES 8.52M. Minutes from Nairobi Hospital, Kenyatta National Hospital and the CBD, it’s a considered choice for healthcare professionals, busy executives and anyone who values a calm, well-connected base in the middle of everything.

What makes Habitat distinctive is the idea behind it: a building where living and wellbeing sit side by side. The residences are finished in a calm, contemporary style, and the tower is topped by a rooftop restaurant, gym and infinity pool. It’s a home designed around balance — central, well-serviced, and quietly premium.

A Development Designed for Connected, Wellness-Led City Living

Habitat is built around the convenience and calm of living in the middle of Upper Hill, in a tower designed for a health-and-wellbeing lifestyle. The residences themselves are contemporary and easy to live in — open-plan layouts, fitted kitchens and a calm, neutral palette — set high in the building, from the 13th floor up, for light and long city views. Above them, a rooftop restaurant, gym and infinity pool give residents somewhere to unwind and stay active without leaving home.

Please note — this is a mixed-use, wellness-led building. Habitat is not a standard residential block. The tower combines ground-floor retail, several floors of parking, offices, six floors of medical suites and two floors of luxury assisted living, with the residential apartments on the upper floors. Many buyers actively want exactly this — a home in a well-serviced, health-focused building, close to major hospitals — but it’s a materially different product from a purely residential development. We’d encourage every buyer to confirm the specifics before committing: the ownership structure, how residential access and management are separated from the commercial and medical components, the service-charge model, and whether units are delivered furnished. These are straightforward questions with clear answers, and we’ll get them for you at point of enquiry.

Unit Types

Habitat’s residences comprise Mini 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments on the upper floors. Sizes and prices are below; final pricing varies by floor, unit and finish.

Prices are guide figures and vary by floor, unit and finish. For the current price list, available units, floor plans and payment schedule, please request the latest details at point of enquiry.

Location Advantage

Habitat sits on Ralph Bunche Road in Upper Hill — Nairobi’s premier business and medical district, and one of its most connected addresses:

• Healthcare: Minutes from Nairobi Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital
• Business: In the heart of Upper Hill, home to the Central Bank of Kenya, major bank headquarters and multinational corporates
• Connectivity: About 5 minutes to the Nairobi CBD; around 10 minutes to Sarit Centre, Yaya Centre and Westgate; about 15 minutes to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with easy access via Uhuru Highway and Kenyatta Avenue

Upper Hill’s concentration of hospitals, corporates and institutions is a large part of why it holds its appeal for residents and longer-term buyers alike — particularly those who work in or around the district.

Payment Plan

The specific payment structure for Habitat — the deposit, instalment schedule and any off-plan or completion terms — is confirmed at point of enquiry. We’ll share the current payment schedule and reservation terms alongside the price list, so you can plan with confidence. Budget also for statutory costs, including 4% stamp duty. Any figures are set out clearly in your offer and sale agreement before you commit.

Buying from Abroad (Diaspora Buyers)

Habitat suits Kenyans in the diaspora looking for a central, well-serviced Nairobi base — and buying from overseas is more straightforward than many expect:

• A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to begin.
• Block handles your KRA PIN registration and the paperwork on your behalf.
• Stamp duty of 4% applies on transfer, and we’ll walk you through the full cost breakdown before you commit.

We can arrange a virtual walkthrough of the residences and available units, and manage the process end to end so you can buy with confidence from wherever you are.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For an owner, the appeal is a calm, contemporary home in the middle of Upper Hill, in a building designed around wellbeing and convenience. For healthcare professionals in particular, being a short distance from Nairobi Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital — in a tower that also houses medical suites — is a genuine, practical draw. For other professionals, the location puts the CBD, the wider business district and the airport within easy reach, while the rooftop pool, gym, restaurant and spa support an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle. As with any mixed-use building, it’s worth confirming the service-charge arrangement so you can budget with confidence.

Why It Works for Investors

We keep our investor guidance honest: we don’t 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. You may see Habitat marketed elsewhere with “high returns,” “strong rental demand” or similar claims; we’d encourage you to treat those as marketing, not fact, and to run your own numbers.

What can be said plainly is that this is a distinctive, well-located property in Upper Hill — an established business and medical hub with a professional, corporate and healthcare-oriented catchment. The mixed-use, wellness-led concept is unusual in the market, which cuts both ways: it may appeal to a specific tenant or buyer, and it also warrants closer due diligence than a standard apartment. If you’re considering a short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and applicable regulations. We’d encourage you to review the ownership and management structure carefully, request the latest price list and payment schedule, and take independent legal and financial advice before committing. We’re glad to help you gather the documentation and run your own numbers.
