Frequently Asked Questions

Commercial buildings in Kilimani currently average Ksh 25,000-40,000 per square foot depending on building quality and exact location. Prime office spaces along major roads command premium prices up to Ksh 50,000 per sq ft.
Well-maintained commercial properties in Kilimani typically lease within 2-4 months. Properties with good visibility and parking facilities often secure tenants even faster. Vacancy periods are shortest during January-March when many businesses relocate or expand.
All commercial buildings require a valid business permit from Nairobi County Government (typically Ksh 10,000-50,000 annually based on size). Additional requirements may include fire safety certificates (Ksh 15,000-30,000), NEMA licenses for certain businesses (Ksh 5,000-20,000), and elevator inspection certificates where applicable.
Conversion requires approval from Nairobi City County's Planning Department. While possible for ground-floor units along major roads (subject to zoning), upper-floor conversions are rarely approved. Expect to pay Ksh 100,000-300,000 in change-of-user fees plus potentially upgrading parking and fire safety systems.
Standard commercial leases run for 3-5 years with annual rent escalations of 5-10%. Many corporate tenants prefer longer terms (5+ years) while smaller businesses often opt for shorter agreements (2-3 years). All leases exceeding one year must be registered with the Lands Registry.
