Frequently Asked Questions

Premium open space properties in Raphta Road typically generate rental yields between 8-12% annually. Well-maintained buildings with good amenities can achieve even higher returns due to strong tenant demand from corporate clients.
Raphta Road falls under Nairobi's commercial zoning (B1) which permits office spaces, retail establishments and service businesses without special approvals. However, industrial manufacturing or processing requires additional permits from the county government.
Key infrastructure considerations include reliable three-phase electricity (minimum 60A), fiber optic internet connectivity, adequate water supply (preferably with backup storage), efficient HVAC systems and modern fire safety installations including sprinklers where required by building codes.
Properties with dedicated parking command premium prices - typically Ksh 5,000-10,000/sqm higher than comparable spaces without parking. The current market standard is approximately one parking bay per 25 sqm of leased space for office use.
Standard lease terms range from 3-5 years with annual rent escalations of 5-10%. Many landlords require bank guarantees equivalent to 3-6 months' rent as security. Fit-out periods of 1-3 months rent-free are commonly negotiated for new tenants.
