Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial properties in Thika CBD typically offer rental yields between 8-12% annually, with prime locations along the superhighway commanding higher rates. Office spaces average Ksh 80-120 per square foot monthly, while retail spaces range from Ksh 150-250 per square foot depending on exact location and property quality.
Several major projects are planned including the expansion of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services into Thika, upgrades to the Thika-Nairobi commuter rail line, and new industrial parks being developed by Kiambu County Government. These developments are expected to increase demand for commercial spaces and potentially boost property values by an estimated 15-25% over the next five years.
Commercial property owners need a valid business permit from Kiambu County (typically Ksh 10,000-50,000 annually depending on size), fire clearance certificate, NEMA environmental impact assessment for certain uses, and must comply with all building codes. If leasing to multiple tenants, you may also need a multi-tenancy permit.
Parking is a critical factor - properties with dedicated parking command premium prices (15-25% higher) and achieve higher occupancy rates. The current standard is at least one parking space per 300 sq ft of lettable space. Buildings without adequate parking often require tenants to make separate arrangements at nearby parking lots.
Most Kenyan banks offer commercial mortgages at competitive rates (typically 12-16% interest) for up to 70% of property value with repayment periods of up to 10 years. Saccos also provide alternative financing options. Some sellers offer installment payment plans especially for off-plan developments.
