With 1-bedroom residences ranging from 78 to 84 sqm, prices currently ranging from KSh 8.8 million to KSh 10.5 million, and projected returns of up to 19.75% for furnished units, Ivy Myst presents an opportunity for investors seeking exposure to Nairobi’s premium residential rental market.
Expected completion: August 2029
WHY INVEST IN A 1-BEDROOM AT IVY MYST?
1. ENTER NAIROBI’S PREMIUM PROPERTY MARKET FROM KSH 8.8 MILLION
A major advantage of the Ivy Myst 1-bedroom is the relatively accessible entry point into a high-end residential development.
1-Bedroom Residences
Size: 78–84 sqm
Price: KSh 8.8M–10.5M
20% deposit: From approximately KSh 1.76M
The balance can be spread through the construction period under the available instalment plan.
This allows an investor to secure a premium property without necessarily having to fund the entire purchase price upfront.
2. POTENTIAL FOR ATTRACTIVE RENTAL RETURNS
The official Ivy Myst investment projections currently indicate:
13.67% projected ROI — unfurnished
19.75% projected ROI — furnished
These figures make the 1-bedroom particularly interesting for investors evaluating property primarily for income generation.
A premium 1-bedroom in Kileleshwa can appeal to a broad tenant market including:
The combination of location, generous apartment sizes and lifestyle amenities is designed to create strong tenant appeal.
3. A GENEROUS 78–84 SQM 1-BEDROOM
One of the strongest selling points is the amount of space.
At 78–84 sqm, the Ivy Myst 1-bedroom is designed to provide considerably more than a basic compact apartment.
The additional space can make the residence attractive to tenants who want a premium living environment with room for:
Comfortable living and dining
Working from home
Entertaining guests
Storage
A spacious bedroom
A well-designed kitchen
Modern lifestyle amenities
For an investor, larger and better-designed units can help differentiate the property from smaller competing apartments.
4. PRIME GATUNDU ROAD, KILELESHWA LOCATION
Ivy Myst is positioned on Gatundu Road in Kileleshwa, one of Nairobi’s established premium residential neighbourhoods.
The location provides access to major residential, commercial, retail and lifestyle destinations while maintaining the appeal of a predominantly residential environment.
The official Ivy Myst project page highlights its proximity to Westlands, the CBD, top schools and major amenities.
For a property investor, location matters because it directly influences:
Tenant demand
Rental positioning
Convenience
Resale appeal
Long-term property value
5. PREMIUM AMENITIES THAT CAN DIFFERENTIATE YOUR PROPERTY
Today’s tenants increasingly want more than four walls and a parking space.
Ivy Myst is designed as a lifestyle destination with amenities intended to increase the attractiveness of the development.
WORLD-CLASS AMENITIES INCLUDE:
Celestial Rooftop Pool
An infinity pool with a signature waterfall positioned at the apex of Ivy Myst, overlooking the Nairobi skyline.
Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
A premium dining and social environment with panoramic city views.
Gymnasium & Yoga Studio
A dedicated wellness environment for residents.
Garden Stream
A landscaped water feature integrated into the development’s gardens.
Grand Reception
A sculptural lobby with premium finishes and concierge service.
Private Garden Terraces
Selected residences include private garden terraces — a particularly distinctive feature for Nairobi apartments.
The development also includes smart-home features, high-speed elevators, 24-hour security and CCTV, borehole water and backup power.
6. A RARE GARDEN-TERRACE OPPORTUNITY
Selected Ivy Myst residences include private garden terraces.
This provides an additional point of differentiation for investors.
A private outdoor space can make a premium apartment particularly attractive to tenants who value:
Outdoor relaxation
Entertaining
Green space
Privacy
Premium lifestyle
Because garden terraces are a selective feature rather than a standard feature across every unit, investors should ask the sales team about current availability.
7. FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED — TWO INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Ivy Myst gives investors the flexibility to consider different rental strategies.
OPTION A: UNFURNISHED RENTAL
Purchase the apartment and target long-term tenants looking for premium residential accommodation.
This strategy can appeal to investors who prefer:
Simpler property management
Longer-term tenants
Lower furnishing costs
A more conventional rental model
The official Ivy Myst projections indicate 13.67% ROI for the 1-bedroom unfurnished option.
OPTION B: FURNISHED RENTAL
Alternatively, furnish the apartment to target tenants seeking a move-in-ready premium residence.
Potential customers could include:
Expatriates
Corporate tenants
Executives
International professionals
Shorter-term premium tenants
The official Ivy Myst projections indicate 19.75% ROI for the 1-bedroom furnished option.
The actual performance will depend on occupancy, achievable rent, furnishing costs, management expenses, taxes and market conditions, so investors should treat the published ROI as a projection rather than a guaranteed return.
8. BUY DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Ivy Myst has already completed its groundbreaking and construction is actively underway.
The developer is currently marketing the project at what it describes as early-stage pricing, giving investors an opportunity to enter before completion.
For a property investor, buying during construction can provide an opportunity to:
Secure today’s purchase price
Spread payments during construction
Position for potential capital appreciation
Own a newly built premium residence upon completion
Of course, future appreciation is not guaranteed and depends on market conditions.
9. FLEXIBLE PAYMENT STRUCTURE
You do not necessarily need the full KSh 8.8M+ purchase price available today.
Ivy Myst currently offers:
20% DEPOSIT
Secure your preferred unit with a 20% deposit.
INSTALMENT PLAN
Spread the remaining balance throughout the construction period.
MORTGAGE FINANCING
Mortgage financing is available, subject to the lender’s approval and applicable terms.
This structure can make the development particularly relevant to investors who have substantial income or capital but prefer to preserve liquidity while acquiring property.
10. BUILD A PROPERTY INCOME PORTFOLIO
A 1-bedroom apartment can be an effective starting point for investors who want to build a portfolio of income-producing residential properties.
Instead of viewing the purchase simply as buying a home, consider it as acquiring an income-producing asset.
Over time, a successful property strategy could potentially allow investors to use accumulated equity and income to acquire additional properties.
11. APPEAL TO MULTIPLE TENANT SEGMENTS
A premium 1-bedroom apartment has the advantage of being suitable for several categories of tenants.
CORPORATE PROFESSIONALS
Professionals working in Westlands, Kilimani, Upper Hill, CBD and surrounding commercial districts may value the convenience of living in Kileleshwa.
EXPATRIATES
Premium finishes, security, lifestyle amenities and furnished accommodation can appeal to expatriate tenants seeking quality housing.
YOUNG EXECUTIVES
The combination of a manageable apartment size and premium facilities can suit professionals who want an upscale Nairobi lifestyle.
BUSINESS TRAVELLERS
Furnished accommodation can potentially appeal to professionals requiring temporary or medium-term accommodation.
COUPLES
The spacious 1-bedroom layout can offer couples a premium alternative to smaller apartments.
12. PREMIUM AMENITIES CAN SUPPORT RENTAL POSITIONING
An investor is not simply purchasing 78–84 sqm of internal space.
You are also acquiring access to a development designed around a premium lifestyle proposition.
Imagine marketing your rental property with:
Rooftop infinity pool
Rooftop restaurant and bar
Gym and yoga studio
Landscaped gardens
Grand reception
Smart-home features
24-hour security and CCTV
High-speed elevators
Borehole water
Backup generator
These features can help distinguish Ivy Myst from conventional apartment developments.
13. KILELESHWA OFFERS ESTABLISHED RESIDENTIAL APPEAL
The investment case is not based solely on the building.
The surrounding neighbourhood matters.
Kileleshwa is an established Nairobi residential destination with access to shopping, schools, restaurants, healthcare, offices and other lifestyle amenities.
Ivy Myst’s location on Gatundu Road places investors within an established residential ecosystem while maintaining convenient access to major parts of Nairobi.
14. A NEW-BUILD LUXURY ASSET
Investors purchasing a new development can benefit from acquiring a property designed around contemporary expectations.
Ivy Myst’s interiors feature premium marble floors, bespoke kitchen and joinery, and curated interior finishes.
This can help position the property toward tenants who are willing to pay a premium for modern accommodation.
15. MULTIPLE EXIT STRATEGIES
An Ivy Myst 1-bedroom does not have to serve only one purpose.
An investor could potentially:
Hold and rent it long term
Operate it as a furnished rental
Use it personally
Sell it after completion
Hold it for long-term capital appreciation
The appropriate strategy will depend on your financial objectives, market conditions and applicable regulations.
