Grade A office space in Nairobi, plus serviced offices and coworking space across the city's prime business districts. URBN verifies availability and pricing at source, so you compare real, fit-for-purpose options — not stale portal listings.
Nairobi is East Africa's commercial hub and a magnet for regional headquarters. Demand from financial services, the development and NGO sector, and a fast-growing technology scene — Kenya's so-called "Silicon Savannah" — has driven Grade A development across Westlands and Upper Hill, while Kilimani, the CBD, Gigiri and Karen each serve distinct occupier needs. For occupiers, that means a genuine choice between modern corporate towers, fitted floors, serviced suites and flexible coworking.
Because prime rents are frequently quoted in US dollars while secondary stock is priced in Kenyan shillings (KES), and because fit-out condition varies widely, comparing options on a like-for-like basis is hard. URBN does that work for you — confirming what is actually available, at what price, and on what terms.
Where to base your team depends on commute, client proximity and budget. The main clusters:
The leading prime submarket — modern Grade A towers, a dense technology cluster and the highest concentration of multinationals and serviced offices.
Nairobi's corporate-tower district, favoured by banks, insurers and large institutions seeking landmark Grade A space.
Centrally located mixed-use district popular with tech, media and professional-services firms, with a strong coworking presence.
The historic central business district — well-connected, practical mid-market space favoured by established and government-facing firms.
The UN and diplomatic quarter, home to international agencies, embassies and NGOs, with secure, low-rise office stock.
Leafy, low-density suburb to the south-west with converted homes and boutique offices, popular with smaller firms and NGOs.
Full floors and HQ space in modern towers for established teams that want their own identity and long-term certainty.
Private, fully fitted suites with reception, meeting rooms and IT included — move-in ready on flexible terms.
Hot desks and dedicated desks for startups, project teams and satellite offices that need to scale up or down.
As a rough guide, prime Grade A asking rents commonly sit around USD 11–16 / m² / month (prime stock is often USD-quoted; secondary space is typically priced in KES), with serviced offices and coworking priced per desk. These are indicative ranges only — real pricing depends on grade, fit-out, floor and lease term. See our full Nairobi office-cost guide →
