Offices for Sale in Kenya
Looking for an office to buy in Nairobi or elsewhere in Kenya? Explore office units, commercial buildings and investment opportunities suited to businesses that want their own premises rather than a long-term lease.
The right office is about more than the size of the floor plate. Access, parking, visibility, building management, security, service charges and the surrounding business environment can all affect how useful the property will be to your business—and how attractive it may be to future tenants.

FIND THE RIGHT COMMERCIAL SPACE
Buying an office is a business decision
An office can be a practical purchase for an established company, a professional practice, an investor or a business owner who wants to build long-term equity instead of continually paying rent.
In Nairobi, office properties range from compact units in mixed-use developments to entire floors and larger commercial buildings. The best option depends on how your business operates, how many people you need to accommodate and whether the property will be occupied by you or rented to another business.
What matters most?
- Location and accessibility
- Parking availability
- Floor layout and usable space
- Security and building management
- Service charge and operating costs
- Rental and resale potential

BEFORE YOU BUY
What to check when buying an office
01
Location
Consider where your employees, clients and suppliers are coming from. A prestigious address is useful, but practical accessibility matters too.
02
Parking
Establish how many parking spaces come with the property and whether additional parking is available for employees and visitors.
03
Service Charge
Ask for the current service charge and understand exactly what it covers, including security, cleaning, lifts, common areas and maintenance.
04
Usable Space
A large advertised floor area does not always mean the same amount of usable workspace. Look carefully at the actual layout.
05
Building Management
Find out how the building is managed, how common areas are maintained and whether there are outstanding management issues.
06
Ownership & Documentation
Before completing a purchase, the property's ownership, approvals, lease terms where applicable and other relevant documentation should be properly reviewed.
```
```
FOR INVESTORS
Buying an office as an investment
An office property can provide rental income as well as potential long-term capital appreciation. However, the numbers need to work beyond the headline purchase price.
Before buying for rental purposes, look at the achievable rent, occupancy levels, service charge, property management costs, parking, location and the type of businesses likely to occupy the space.
A well-located office with practical access and a layout that suits today's businesses may be easier to let than a cheaper property that has limited parking or poor accessibility.

Where can I buy an office in Kenya?
Nairobi has the widest range of office properties, including Westlands, Kilimani, Lavington, the CBD and other established commercial areas. Office property is also available in regional commercial centres such as Nakuru and other growing towns.
Is buying an office better than renting?

Are office properties a good investment in Nairobi?
Some office properties can be attractive investments, particularly where there is sustained demand from businesses and professional services. The specific location, purchase price, achievable rent, occupancy and running costs should all be considered before investing.
