85 Square Metres. One Bedroom. One Study. Zero Compromise.
A 1-bedroom apartment with a dedicated study room in a 587-unit twin-tower development on Riara Road and Kingara Road, walking distance from Junction Mall. Three configurations — 72 sqm, 80 sqm, and 85 sqm — each with a separate study that transforms a 1-bedroom from a single-purpose residence into a flexible home that adapts to how you actually live and work.
At 85 sqm, the largest configuration is bigger than many standard 2-bedrooms in Nairobi. You get the square footage of a larger apartment, the pricing of a 1-bedroom, and the extra room that changes everything — whether that room becomes an office, a guest bedroom, a dressing room, or whatever your life requires next month.
What the Study Changes
For the remote worker: Nairobi's professional landscape has shifted permanently. A growing percentage of the workforce operates from home — fully or on hybrid schedules. The study is a proper office: a room with a door you can close, separated from the living area, so that your video calls don't happen from the kitchen table and your laptop doesn't live on the sofa. When work ends, you close the door and leave it behind.
For the host: Guests get a private room — not a pull-out in the living area, not a mattress on the floor. A sofa bed in the study, a wardrobe, a door that closes, and your visitor has the dignity of their own space while you keep the privacy of yours.
For the investor: The study adds KES 5,000–10,000/month to achievable rental rates over a standard 1-bedroom. Tenants evaluating two apartments at similar rents — one with a study, one without — choose the study every time. That rental premium over a single year (KES 60,000–120,000) represents a meaningful return on the price difference between this unit and the standard 1-bedroom at KES 6.6M.
For the Airbnb operator: The study is the listing differentiator. In a sea of standard 1-bedroom listings near Junction Mall, the apartment with a dedicated extra room — listed as "1-bed + office" or "1-bed with private workspace" — attracts business travellers, digital nomads, and longer-stay guests who filter specifically for workspace. Higher nightly rates. Better reviews. Stronger occupancy.
Three Sizes, Three Strategies
72 sqm (from KES 8M) — The efficient configuration. The study is present and functional, the living area is well-proportioned, and the apartment works for the buyer who wants the extra room without stretching the budget beyond KES 8M.
80 sqm (from KES 8M) — The additional 8 sqm land in the living area and circulation, adding the breathing room that makes daily life feel unhurried. The study is slightly more generous — room for a proper desk, a bookshelf, and a guest bed when needed.
85 sqm (from KES 8M) — The premium configuration. At 85 sqm with a study, this apartment exceeds many Nairobi 2-bedrooms in total floor area. The living room seats five. The bedroom takes a king bed and wardrobe wall. The study is a genuine room, not a repurposed corner. This is the 1-bedroom that corporate tenants and senior professionals actively seek — a single-occupancy home with the space and flexibility of a larger apartment.
The Numbers
At KES 55,000/month long-term rental:
Annual income: KES 660,000
Gross yield: 8.3%
At KES 65,000/month (furnished or premium tenant):
Annual income: KES 780,000
Gross yield: 9.8%
The yield is supported by the location's broad tenant demand — professionals, families near Riara schools, university-adjacent renters, and the walkable proximity to Junction Mall that short-stay guests and corporate tenants both value.
