What’s the criteria one uses when selecting which type to build?
I have seen some blocks of flats built in the wrong place that have zero tenants e.g 2 or 3br’s in Mwiki. How does one gauge what is suitable for each place.
The plot I have iko Kibiko Ngong. About 1km away from Tarmac but only 15-20 minutes on a boda (at 100 bob) to the main stage. The road is murram and black cotton in some sections. Very nice middle to upper middle class maisonettes are coming up hapa, shida ni those are mostly people building their own homes, not rentals. Can a mix of bedsitters and one br’s work here ( 4 storeys)
Pay a professional who knows your area for that information. Dont be a cheapskate.
Chapa story na watu wa mtaa. Ask them what they’d prefer.

is the area populated? Try to do units almost similar to what is being done in the neighbourhood. mainly the 2 beds
Fanya what this talker has suggested - bedsitters should be in an area with campus students or a young population starting in life - so has to be close to the road and mambo ya anasa/entertainment joints.
2 beds and 3 beds, needs to be spacious and well done, with parking and target market would be families - area must have amenities kama schools, hospitals and have good security etc
Thats very tricky, 1st and most importantly ensure you are aware of any zoning laws in your area. 2ndly as per my experience, convenience and local demand is very important, a good analysis is needed here coz of the factors I mentioned.
Bedsitters might be tricky coz of accessibility for the tenants and also the price point. 2 or 3 bedroom house might be an idea if the neighborhood is very good and homely, though you will have to give the tenants reasons why to choose your place, note if you choose this then having parking and good security is must. you must offer a better deal than other apartments near town in terms of cheaper rent and more spacious rooms which are well done. https://urbangreenrealestate.co.ke/
