Frequently Asked Questions

Well-located retail shops in Mombasa CBD typically yield between 8-12% annual ROI. Prime street-front properties along Moi Avenue can achieve up to 15% ROI due to higher foot traffic and premium rental rates.
Most commercial zoned properties allow retail trade, services and light manufacturing. However, certain buildings may have tenant mix policies or restrictions on noisy/late-night operations. Always verify specific building regulations before purchase.
Properties with dedicated parking command approximately 20-30% higher valuations. Many older buildings lack sufficient parking, making newer developments or properties near public parking lots particularly valuable for attracting customers.
Standard commercial leases run for 2-5 years with annual rent escalations of 5-10%. Prime locations often include turnover-based rents (base rent + percentage of sales). New tenants typically pay a security deposit equal to three months' rent.
While online shopping is growing, physical stores remain crucial for customer engagement and last-mile delivery hubs. Many successful retailers now operate hybrid models (online+offline), maintaining demand for well-located shops especially for fashion, electronics and specialty goods.
