The one bedroom apartment at Modern City offers approximately 807 sq. ft. (75 sqm) of living space, providing a noticeably more generous option for buyers who want a conventional one bedroom home in Kilimani.
Starting from KES 8.2 million, the apartment may particularly appeal to individual professionals, couples and buyers who want more separation between living and sleeping areas than a studio provides.
Its relatively generous floor area also makes it relevant to investors targeting tenants who value space and may be looking for a longer-term home rather than a compact city unit.
