Published on 03/09/2009
By Harold Ayodo

Penthouses are luxurious apartments on the top floor of a block. They occupy the space of at least two apartments below it. The units are the latest craze in the development of residential real estate after the recent upsurge of apartments in Nairobi, Mombasa, and other modern towns and tourist destinations.

http://www.eastandard.net/images/thursday/ha030909_2.jpghttp://www.eastandard.net/images/thursday/ha030909_3.jpghttp://www.eastandard.net/images/thursday/ha030909_4.jpg
A spacious living room of a penthouse

The affluent are the leading owners of the cosy units even as official statistics show that only a paltry ten per cent of three million residents in Nairobi own homes. Private developers say penthouses are hot cakes even as Housing Minister Soita Shitanda recently raised a red flag over a shortfall of 350,000 houses annually.

Real estate agents concur the demand for penthouses remains high compared to bungalows, maisonettes and apartments. Possession of penthouses atop apartments is based on the Sectional Properties Act of 1987 allowing ownership of units within flats and apartments complete with titles.

The numbers of couples and newlyweds letting penthouses for either holidays or honeymoon are on the increase. People prefer renting the spacious units due to their features that include modern furnishing. Property agents say local and foreign businessmen staying in the city for about a month prefer penthouses because of guaranteed privacy compared to hotels.

http://www.eastandard.net/images/thursday/ha030909_1.jpg
Scarcity of land is among myriad reasons why the affluent embrace penthouses in upmarket areas. Many developers prefer highrise buildings in upmarket areas. Experts concur that constructing bungalows and maisonettes in leafy suburbs is expensive and takes more space compared to apartments and penthouses, which have similar facilities.

After disappointments in the Nairobi Stock Exchange, more investors are moving towards real estate with a keen eye on penthouses, which they can lease out periodically to wealthy tourists.
The interior of a penthouse still under construction


Hotcakes
Urban and regional planning scholars who support modern architecture say the development of penthouses is long overdue. Prof Peter Ngau of the Department of Urban Planning at the University of Nairobi says penthouses are common in the cities of developed cities.

Modern developments in upmarket areas are proof that the residential real estate is moving by leaps and bounds in Nairobi,Ó he says.

Architects designing penthouses, especially in upmarket areas, are generally widely travelled and are in tune with global developments in property. European designers and architects first came up with the concept in the 1920s before the Americans took it up, modified and introduced new models. In the United States, the first rooftop apartment was developed in 1923 at the Plaza Hotel overlooking the Central Park.

In Kenya, few developers began experimenting with penthouses atop apartments five years ago when prospective investors in houses demanded them. According to private developers, penthouses became like hotcakes overnight and were particularly en vogue from last year. Most developments being constructed today incorporate penthouses to increase the value of their property.

Dan Arum, a marketing assistant at Tysons Limited, says myriad factors have contributed to the demand of penthouses in Kileleshwa, Kilimani, Lavington and Westlands.

"Penthouses are generally spacious. In an apartment of 24 units, for instance, a penthouse will accommodate the size of four of them," Arum says.

The units often have a private lift or entrance, split levels, under-floor heating, inbuilt speakers in each room and ensuite bathrooms. Some have inbuilt plasma screen televisions and motion sensor lights, which the wealthy find worth paying for, explains Arum. Other features include fitness suites, saunas, massage rooms, bars and floor-to-ceiling windows to capture as much natural light as possible and to allow a clear aerial view of the surroundings. According to Arum, most penthouses have four-bedrooms with self-contained rooms.

Louis Agili, a marketing executive with Mentor Group, says a common feature of penthouse apartments is a roof terrace, a garden and an expansive balcony. "Penthouses offer a unique bubble of peace and quiet and a chance to look down on the rushing life in the city," he says.

A survey, however, shows that the cost of renting or purchasing the luxurious apartments dictates the occupants and owners. "The units are expensive because even a two-bedroom penthouse is more spacious than most bungalows and maisonettes," Arum says.

Most penthouses are furnished as people who rent them do so during weekends or month-long holidays. "The charges for penthouses are quite steep. Most charge an average of Sh20,000 a day or Sh180,000 per month, and there are tenants who are always ready to pay," Agili says.

Penthouses are a favourite among newlyweds too.


Josephine Waithera got married recently and spent her honeymoon weekend in a penthouse in Westlands.

Luxurious lifestyle
We agreed with my husband that, since most people who wed rush to Coast hotels, we wanted to be different," she says. "We paid Sh20,000 a day for a fully furnished unit complete with a fitness suit, sauna, a stocked mini bar and fridge. Part of the reason we loved the experience was because the penthouse guaranteed us total privacy. We did not leave it for two days."

Peter Kamau concurs with Waithera, saying he spends many weekends with his wife in penthouses as they guarantee him maximum security. "There is always the chance of meeting a familiar face in hotels or private beaches but that possibility is rare with penthouses," Kamau says.

At Sh20,000 per day, which is an equivalent of rent charged per month in most middle class estates in Nairobi, Waithera maintains the charges are not extravagant. "There are people who make colossal amounts of money and they want to relax in quiet environments," she says.

Kamau, a businessman, agrees: "All work without play makes Jack a dull boy. It is healthy to spoil yourself once in a while. Penthouses have several features that cannot be explained. You have to experience them. I have slept in presidential suits in many five-star hotels but penthouses are more advantageous because they feel like a luxurious home."

Tour guides say more foreign tourists are renting penthouses compared to five years ago when all they wanted were hotel rooms, country lodges or guest houses. Patricia Wambua, a tour guide, says her clientele opt for penthouses and share costs to enjoy an aerial view of Nairobi.

"We book tourists into penthouses as there are some who love bird-watching while others want to use the sauna in private. Other amenities often include swim ming pools and equipped gymnasiums," she says.

Rent for penthouses at Brooklyn Paradise in Kilimani and Wasini Luxury Apartments is Sh160,000 per month. The selling price can go as high as Sh17.5 million.

Rising demand
The demand for penthouses has increased the demand for pre-sales (buying houses after viewing construction models). Estate agents say most buyers review the architectural drawings and discuss the proposed development with either a developer or agent before a payment plan is rolled out.

Arum says a two-bedroom penthouse in Westlands costs Sh14 million — the price of a three-bedroom house in the area.

"A four-bedroom penthouse in Kilimani, along and off Ngong Road costs Sh17 million while a normal three-bedroom house in the area fetches Sh15 million," Arum says. Due to high demand and proximity, penthouses in Riverside are more expensive compared to other upmarket areas in Nairobi. A penthouse that costs Sh24 million in Riverside costs Sh17 million in Kilimani, yet people still buy them in numbers. They are more expensive compared to bungalows and maisonettes but homeowners seem to prefer them. Property experts agree penthouse apartments are the essence of modern high-class living.

"Proximity to the city centre and panoramic views are among the factors that attract young professionals to the expensive units,"Arum says.

Executive Offices
Saachi Plaza is a bold new 'office-block' concept comprising of ultra modern, superbly finished units in a serene environment. The plaza is located in the vibrant Kilimani area along Argwings Kodhek road, Nairobi. Kilimani (bordered to the north by Dennis Pritt road and to the south by Ngong road) has long been regarded as amongst Nairobi's prime locations, in close proximity to up-market neighborhoods such as Ngong, Kileleshwa, Upperhill, Lavington, Westlandsand Karen.

Kilimani has witnessed a building boom in the recent past and plays host to a number of embassies and consulates, newly built apartments and town houses. The area also hosts a number of shopping malls, banks, ATM's, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, places of worship, gyms, health-centres, clubs, sports facilities, reputable schools, coffee shops, restaurants, day-care centres, post-offices, petrol stations, taxi and public transport services, ensuring that everything you need is well within reach.

STRUCTURE
Saachi plaza's innovative design features three blocks of four floors each and a basement. Each floor has an office space ranging from 2100 to 2500 square feet. Each office block comes complete with modern and robustly fitted kitchen and wash-room facilities. Offices feature 'up-hang' one way tinted windows with aluco board columns and acoustic ceiling boards. Saachi Plaza is an 'internet-ready' building. There is provision for telephone and internet facilities via CAT6e cable connectivity

Nairobi Medium area: Kilimani | Hurlingham | Ngong Road

These busy areas bounded by Dennis Pritt Road to the north and Ngong Road to the south host many of Nairobi’s new-build apartment blocks. These were largely constructed in the property boom of the 1990s, replacing the 1950s and 1960s bungalows that once sat back from the wide streets. Most of the new blocks are taller than five storeys and have balconies, communal swimming pools and 24-hour security staff. The more expensive have gyms, saunas and health clubs. They tend to be popular with both expatriates and Kenyans, mainly single professionals, young families with few children or aid workers regularly sent into the field for months at a time. These areas are home to three of Nairobi’s most popular shopping centres - the smart Yaya Centre on Argwings Kodhek Road, the older and scruffier Adams’ Arcade on Ngong Road and the sleek Junction, also on Ngong Road – as well as to several large supermarkets including Nakumatt Prestige on Ngong Road, which is open 24-hours a day.

Several of Nairobi’s most popular restaurants, many with outdoors seating, are along Lenana Road just north of Argwings Kodhek Road. For entertainment there are at least two cinemas and a casino in Hurlingham, while the Nairobi Jockey Club on Ngong Road has a public nine-hole golf course. International schools in the area include Cavina and the French, Dutch, Swedish and Italian schools. Some of the city’s main state and private hospitals including The Nairobi Hospital (private), The Nairobi Women’s Hospital (private) and Kenyatta National Hospital (state) are located just to the east of these areas, along the city centre end of Ngong Road (see “Useful contacts” for details). Buses run along the main roads directly into the city centre (2-5 km), while a taxi to town will cost KSh600.

THE ATRIUM - KILIMANI

http://hebatullah.co.ke/images/project_10.jpg
http://hebatullah.co.ke

nairobi has become claustrophobic with the unplanned clustered construction on-going within the city,they are going within than going outside.the services are minimal utmost none.kwani where is the city planners are...i forgot they died longtime ago.

http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z8/kenyandude/DSCN3120.jpg


This Woodlands road for example has been the same size since time immemorial yet the number of users has risen many more times than when it was built. These are the reasons we have incessant traffic jams. The facilities are constrained and no one seems to notice or act, the city council is just sitting doing nothing as the population in Nairobi rises beyond its original plan. Services are constrained heavily yet there is land for everything. Roads in Upper Hill, a place which has expanded so much lately, remain the same yet there are huge road reserves.We have sleeping government and local authorities. There is need to plan and implement those plans as the population of a country expands. Our people die of hunger because of lack of foresight, seriousness and commitment to public good. Great need for there to be a change ladies and gentlemen entrusted with power.

>you are right abckris.Kanjo doesn't know much about planning...all they is thievery.the eat even the bones of the institutions.it will take a while before makes the necessary.there have been numberous uproar from the surveyors,private city planners about the disorganized building behemoths in the city.the cities are so tiny.maybe this time around maybe we will have some brains.

^^i heard they are opening this wednesday (tomorrow):) the one in the junction

now KFC is here who is going to enter the Kenyan market next? i bet you they are waiting to see how KFC does first lol

I'm hoping MCD's will be next.I know Kenyans are not "burger" people,but there lots of exparts and tourists in Kenya who look for a MCDonald or KFC when they land in Kenya.

Nice pictures trikks.

thanks guys, KFC has put up more signage. will get more pics

now KFC is here who is going to enter the Kenyan market next? i bet you they are waiting to see how KFC does first lol

It’s just a matter of time for Macdonald'sto come to Kenya. Pizza Hut (heavenly pizza) ,Taco Bell and A&W (different from Macdonald's ,but great for guys with a sweet tooth) since their parent company is the same as KFC would be a great addition . The only pizza that comes close to Pizza Hut in Kenya is Debonairs . New York fries(fries from heaven) and Subway .Another one that would be good for Kenya is Ho Lee Chow .This is a Chinese restaurant in Canada that is very good .They had one at my University .Food used to get finished by 11 am .It has real food (fresh steamed vegetables, steam or fried rice and some amazing Combo meals ,you pick and choose what you want buffet style.

original or crispy ??? mimi ni msee wa original !!!

beautiful apartments.

I'm assuming the client on that board is not the same as the one in London.Canary Wharf group in London runs the huge financial district and i doubt they'd be involved in small apartments in far flung places.

Saw that too but I don't think it's The city's Canary whaff in London.
