A Dedicated Utility Room. A Balcony. Two Pools, a Gym, and a Co-Working Space in the Building. An IMAX Cinema and Carrefour Downstairs. Inside a 47-Acre Gated Estate on Thika Road. A 1-bedroom apartment — 50 sqm — with a dedicated utility room and balcony in the latest phase of a sold-out-twice development within the 47-acre Garden City precinct on Thika Road. Built by Mi Vida, a developer with a proven track record of on-time delivery and quality design. Phases 1 and 2 sold out completely. This is the next chapter — and the specification has only improved. At 50 sqm, this 1-bedroom includes a provision that most competitors at this size eliminate: a dedicated utility room. The washing machine has its own space. The laundry stays behind its own door. The apartment functions like a home, not a compromise. Add the balcony, the two swimming pools, the gym, the co-working space, and the entire Garden City Mall within a five-minute walk — and the 50 sqm delivers a lifestyle that a 70 sqm apartment on a standalone plot along Thika Road cannot match. The Utility Room at 50 sqm: The Provision That Separates This 1-Bedroom from Every Competitor Most 1-bedrooms at 50 sqm force the washing machine into the kitchen or the bathroom. This one doesn't. The dedicated utility room is a separate space — behind a door, out of sight, purpose-built for the laundry and domestic work that every household generates. At 50 sqm, a utility room is a luxury provision. Here, it's standard. The balcony adds the outdoor dimension. A 1-bedroom with a utility room and a balcony at 50 sqm means the architect prioritised livability over empty corridor space. Every square metre is working — the utility room handles the domestic, the balcony provides the outdoor connection, and the living area gets to be purely living. The layout separates bedroom from living. The floor plan places the bedroom at one end and the living area at the other — with the kitchen, dining, and balcony forming the social zone and the bedroom maintaining the privacy that a well-designed 1-bedroom requires. No studio compromises. No bedroom that doubles as a corridor. How 50 sqm Lives The living and dining area is open-plan and oriented for natural light — lounge, dining, and kitchen connected in a continuous space that seats two to four comfortably and makes the 50 sqm feel generous rather than constrained. The kitchen is integrated with the living space — functional counter area, storage, and the workflow that a daily-cooking household needs. The bedroom is a full room — walled, private, with wardrobe provisions and the proportions that accommodate a double bed with clearance. The separation from the living area is architectural, not suggested. The bathroom serves the apartment with full facilities. The utility room is the differentiator — the dedicated space for the washing machine and domestic work that keeps the kitchen clean, the bathroom dry, and the apartment's livability intact. The balcony connects the apartment to the Garden City landscape — the 3-acre park, the tree-lined pathways, and the green spaces that make this precinct feel like a suburb rather than a highway address. The Community Central clubhouse — the shared lifestyle facility at the heart of the development. Two swimming pools — dual leisure infrastructure within the compound. Fully equipped gym — professional fitness facilities. No external membership. No commute to exercise. Co-working space — professional workspace with meeting rooms, designed for the remote worker who wants an office without the commute. Multiple landscaped terraces — elevated outdoor spaces integrated into the architecture. Expansive garden spaces — the green infrastructure that connects the development to Garden City's 3-acre central park. The Garden City Precinct 47 acres of integrated mixed-use living on Thika Road — residential, retail, office, education, healthcare, and recreation within a single gated estate. Garden City Mall — IMAX cinema, Carrefour, banks, restaurants, and a medical clinic. A five-minute walk from your apartment. Garden City Business Park — a 3,000-strong office community that creates consistent, built-in rental demand. UNEP Headquarters, the U.S. Embassy, and corporate offices (EABL, CCI) are all within 20 minutes. Durham International School — within the precinct. 3-acre central park — tree-lined avenues, landscaped pathways, and the green heart that defines Garden City's character. The Investment Case Garden City's 9% gross rental yield is the highest documented yield in Nairobi — outperforming Westlands (8.5%), Kileleshwa (7.8%), Langata (7.3%), Kiambu Road (6.72%), and Ruaka (6.2%). The yield premium is driven by three structural advantages: Up to 15% higher rents than surrounding Thika Road estates 90–95% annual occupancy — the vacancy rate that most Nairobi developments aspire to and that Garden City delivers 3,000 office workers at Garden City Business Park — the built-in tenant base that no conventional apartment building along Thika Road can access The 1-bedroom with utility room is the sweet spot for the rental market — large enough for a professional couple, specified with the utility room that justifies the rent premium, and priced at the point that maximises yield percentage. The tenant who finds a 1-bedroom with a utility room, a balcony, two pools, a gym, a co-working space, and Carrefour downstairs — at a competitive rent on Thika Road — does not leave. Two previous phases sold out. The capital appreciation trajectory is established and protected by the controlled, mixed-use nature of the precinct.
