About This Development

Longines Bay Apartments for Sale off Ngong Road

Longines Bay rises as an 18-storey mixed-use scheme on Karbanet Road, just off Ngong Road. The project occupies a 1.5-acre plot and contains 16 residential levels plus two commercial floors. Buyers can choose from studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and larger duplex residences, all set above active retail and service spaces. Handover is planned for 2029, and prices begin at KES 3.7 million.

The scheme marks the first African residential project by Nanchong International. The developer brings more than twenty years of mixed-use experience and focuses on practical design, solid construction and contemporary city living.

Location: Karbanet Road, off Ngong Road

The site sits in a practical position off Ngong Road. Prestige Plaza is about three minutes away by car. Yaya Centre takes roughly six minutes. The Nairobi Hospital lies eight minutes distant, while Upperhill is seven minutes from the entrance. JKIA Airport is approximately fifteen minutes along the main routes. Local schools such as Rose of Sharon (four minutes) and St. Nicholas (six minutes) add further convenience for families. The address therefore works well for people who need quick links to work, shopping, healthcare and education.

Unit Types & Pricing

A clear selection of apartment sizes is available:

  • 39 sqm – KES 3.7M to 4.5M

  • 40 sqm – KES 4.5M to 4.9M

These compact open-plan units suit single professionals, short-stay use or straightforward rental investment.

1-Bedroom Apartments

  • 72 sqm – KES 6.7M to 7.7M

The one-bedroom layout balances private sleeping space with an efficient living area.

2-Bedroom Apartments

  • 87 sqm – KES 8.7M to 9.6M

  • 88 sqm – KES 8.9M to 10.6M

  • 94 sqm – KES 8.9M to 11.1M

Premium Duplex Apartments

  • 3-Bedroom Duplex: 142 sqm – from KES 16M

  • 5-Bedroom Duplex: 174–187 sqm – from KES 21M

The duplexes form the largest homes in the building and provide generous space for larger families or buyers who want more room and separation.

All apartments arrive fully finished. Floor-to-ceiling glass with low-E coating maximises light and views. Kitchens use imported European cabinets and stone worktops. Living areas feature engineered oak flooring. Smart-home cabling is installed as standard. Soft interior tones of sand, driftwood and warm brass complete the finishes. Optional curated interior packages can be added if required.

Amenities

Residents have access to a full set of facilities designed for daily comfort and leisure:

  • Swimming pool

  • Rooftop padel court

  • Rooftop barbecue area

  • Outdoor sky cinema

  • Indoor mini-cinema with massage seating

  • Co-working space

  • Landscaped courtyard garden

  • Rooftop sports and recreation zone

  • On-site restaurant

  • Children’s play area

  • Wellness gym

  • Pool room

  • Concierge desk

  • High-speed lifts

  • Full backup generator

  • Borehole water supply

  • Continuous CCTV coverage

The amenities create a contained living environment that still connects directly to the commercial floors below.

On-Site Commercial Spaces

Two floors are reserved for retail and services. Planned tenants include a full-size supermarket, restaurants and cafés, fashion and lifestyle stores, a pharmacy, mobile and technology outlets, and other specialty shops. Unit sizes run from 27 sqm to 180 sqm, giving space for both small operators and larger retailers. Residents can therefore complete most everyday tasks without leaving the building.

Suitability Across Buyer Profiles

Studios open the door for first-time buyers and investors looking for a lower entry price. One- and two-bedroom apartments suit professionals and small families who want modern finishes and on-site convenience. The three- and five-bedroom duplexes appeal to larger households or buyers who need extra space and privacy. Smart-home systems, complete finishes and the mix of residential and commercial uses support both owner-occupation and rental demand.

Key Considerations

Longines Bay places homes and everyday services under a single address on Karbanet Road. Owner-occupiers receive modern apartments with quality fittings, smart technology and immediate access to shops and dining. Investors benefit from a mixed-use setting whose range of unit sizes, amenity list and active commercial base help sustain tenant interest. The combination of scale, location and dual residential-commercial design makes Longines Bay a practical option for anyone seeking a contemporary address off Ngong Road.

Demand Context for Longines Bay Residences

Longines Bay Residences sits in the Kilimani market, where apartment demand is supported by Nairobi Expressway, Ngong Road, Upper Hill Business District and Nairobi Hospital and shaped by corporate tenant demand, executive rental demand, diaspora buyer demand and foreign buyer demand. Because this is not a completed-unit decision, also compare developer delivery, construction progress and payment milestones before relying on demand alone.

Verification status

Buyer Safety Snapshot

Off-plan buyer checks needed

Quick answer

Longines Bay Residences should be treated as an off-plan decision until the buyer has checked developer context, construction progress, payment milestones, completion assumptions and the documents behind the project.

Main risk

The buyer may commit before the project evidence, developer track record and payment schedule are clear enough.

What to verify

  • Current price, availability and the exact unit or property being offered.
  • Seller, developer or agent authority to share documents and receive instructions.
  • How the asking price compares with similar properties in the same area and buyer use case.
  • Whether payment instructions, reservation terms and refund terms are written and consistent.
  • Developer track record, construction progress, payment milestones and completion timeline.

Documents to request

  • Title, mother title or ownership documents relevant to the property type.
  • Official search or written direction on how the buyer's advocate should confirm ownership.
  • Seller ID, company documents, developer profile or authority-to-sell documents where applicable.
  • Draft sale agreement, letter of offer or reservation terms before payment.
  • Written payment instructions and receipts process before any funds move.

Who it suits

Buyers who like the location and payment-plan upside, but still want to test construction and developer risk before reserving.

Who should be cautious

Buyers being pushed to reserve before seeing project evidence, developer context or written payment terms.

Advisor verdict

Treat Longines Bay Residences as a project decision, not only a unit decision. The safer path is to check the developer, payment milestones, construction evidence and completion assumptions before a reservation or deposit.

Best next step

Review off-plan risk

Use before reserving, paying a milestone or relying on completion projections.

Start this review

When to pause

  • Payment is requested before documents, seller authority or payment instructions are clear.
  • The price looks attractive but comparable options have not been checked.
  • A buyer is pushed to reserve quickly without time for advocate review.
  • Construction progress, completion dates or payment milestones do not match the sales story.
