About Ikhaya Sunrise
Ikhaya Sunrise is an off-plan apartment development on USIU Road, in Thome on the Thika Road side of Nairobi. It is built around compact, efficient layouts — studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments — with shared amenities that do a lot of the work a small home cannot: a rooftop gym, a rooftop lounge with creative studio space, and a co-working hub in the building.
Homes are planned for practical space use and natural light. The published specification includes granite kitchen countertops with fitted cabinetry, imported sanitaryware, fixtures and fittings, built-in wardrobes, large windows and glass balustrade balconies. The two-bedroom layout has a master en-suite, and the one- and two-bedroom units include a utility area.

These are indicative starting prices for each unit type, published subject to availability. They are full purchase prices, not deposits or payment-plan instalments. Final pricing varies by floor, aspect and unit, and the price field elsewhere on this listing has carried a lower figure that we have not been able to reconcile — so please ask us for the current, confirmed price list before you commit.

Some amenity tags attached to this listing — a swimming pool, a rooftop cinema, a kids play area, in-unit laundry and wheelchair access — do not appear in the development materials we hold. Please treat them as unconfirmed and ask us to check them against the current drawings before you rely on any of them.
Location and Connectivity
Ikhaya Sunrise sits on USIU Road in Thome, immediately beside the USIU-Africa campus — the coordinates recorded for this listing put the site a few hundred metres from the university boundary. The wider setting is the Thika Road corridor, with the Thika Superhighway giving access to the CBD and out towards Ruiru and Thika.
The drive times below are the ones published in the development’s own materials. We have not independently timed them, and traffic on this corridor varies a great deal by time of day, so treat them as indicative:
- Thika Road Mall (TRM) – about 5 minutes
- Safari Park Hotel – about 5 minutes
- Kasarani Stadium – about 7 minutes
- Garden City Mall – about 10 minutes
USIU-Africa is a genuine landmark here and the reason the road carries its name. We name it as a location fact only; we draw no conclusions from it about who will rent, or how often.
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On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one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 Ikhaya Sunrise is an off-plan development on USIU Road in Thome, Nairobi, adjoining the USIU-Africa campus; that studios start from KES 3,120,000 at 24 sqm, one-bedroom apartments from KES 5,980,000 at 46 sqm and two-bedroom apartments from KES 8,840,000 at 64 sqm; that completion is expected at the end of 2028; and that the shared amenities include a rooftop gym, a co-working hub, three lifts per block, a borehole with water storage and a backup generator for common areas. 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.

Exactly what does KES 3,120,000 buy at Ikhaya Sunrise?
It is the indicative starting purchase price of a studio of about 24 sqm (258 sq ft). It is a full purchase price for that unit, not a deposit and not a payment-plan instalment. It is a from-price, so individual units vary by floor and position, and the price field elsewhere on this site has previously shown a different figure. Please confirm the current price list with us before you commit.
What unit types and sizes are available?
Studios of 24 to 26 sqm (258 to 280 sq ft), one-bedroom apartments of 46 to 47 sqm (495 to 506 sq ft) and two-bedroom apartments of 64 to 69 sqm (689 to 743 sq ft). The two-bedroom layout has a master en-suite, and the one- and two-bedroom units include a utility area.

Can I buy from abroad?
Yes. Non-citizens may hold Kenyan property on a leasehold interest, and apartments are normally sold on sectional title over that leasehold. You will need a passport or Alien ID and a KRA PIN, which we can help you register, and stamp duty of 4 per cent applies on transfer. We can arrange a virtual walkthrough and handle the paperwork on your behalf.
Can I let out an apartment at Ikhaya Sunrise?
Letting is a decision for you and your own advisers. We do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or forecasts of tenant demand, including demand from the university next door, because no one can guarantee them. If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building management rules and on applicable regulations, which is worth confirming before you buy.
Is a payment plan available at Ikhaya Sunrise?
The development is sold off-plan and a payment plan is offered, but the deposit, the instalment schedule and the completion terms are not published on this listing. We will share the developer current payment schedule and reservation terms alongside the price list. Budget also for statutory costs, including 4 per cent stamp duty.
