Frequently Asked Questions

Premium business centres in prime Nairobi locations typically offer ROI between 8-12% annually through rental income alone. When factoring in capital appreciation (8-15% per year), total returns can reach up to 20%. Grade A properties in Upper Hill and Westlands command the highest returns.

Key considerations include: location (proximity to transport hubs), building specifications (floor loading capacity), tenant mix (diversification reduces risk), parking ratio (minimum one space per 100 sq ft), power backup systems (essential for continuous operations), and title documentation (ensure it's freehold or long leasehold).

Occupied properties provide immediate rental income but may have below-market leases. Vacant properties allow for new tenant placement at current market rates but involve leasing downtime. Review all existing lease agreements carefully - some may have escalation clauses that protect against inflation.

Annual maintenance costs average Ksh 150-300 per square foot depending on building class. This covers common area cleaning, security, landscaping, elevator maintenance and repairs. Grade A buildings typically charge higher service fees due to superior amenities like gyms and conference facilities.
