Site feasibility studies
We assess planning constraints, comparable developments, achievable sale or rental values, and construction cost benchmarks to give you a realistic picture of a site's development potential before you proceed to purchase.
Consulting
Is the site, the structure, or the timing actually right?
Alphatstone's consulting practice gives developers, investors, and family offices the analysis they need before capital is committed — not after.
Strategic counsel grounded in Nairobi market intelligence
Alphatstone's consulting practice is engaged by clients who need objective, research-backed analysis before making significant property decisions. A developer evaluating whether a Kilimani site justifies a mid-rise residential scheme. A family office restructuring a Nairobi rental portfolio before a generational transfer. An institution entering the Kenyan market for the first time and needing a rapid orientation across micro-markets, yield expectations, and regulatory realities. We produce written deliverables — feasibility notes, market-entry briefs, portfolio reviews — that give you a documented foundation for your decision. We do not sell optimism.
Consulting engagements Alphatstone takes on
Each engagement is scoped individually. These are the most common instruction types.
Market-entry analysis
For investors and developers new to Nairobi, we provide a structured briefing on the city's key sub-markets — demand drivers, void rates, average yields, and the regulatory landscape — so you know where the genuine opportunities lie.
Portfolio structuring
We review existing property holdings against your stated objectives — income, capital growth, or liquidity — and advise on disposals, acquisitions, or re-gearing of leases to align the portfolio with those goals.
Acquisition advisory
We represent buyers in identifying, evaluating, and negotiating off-market acquisitions, running due diligence alongside your legal counsel and ensuring you understand the full picture before exchange.
“We commissioned Alphatstone to review our seven-unit portfolio in Kilimani and Upper Hill before deciding on a disposal strategy. Their written analysis identified two underperforming assets we had not fully recognised, and the restructuring they recommended improved our net yield by a margin we were satisfied with. The advice was direct and free of sales pressure.”
— R. Njoroge, Family Office Principal, Nairobi
What consulting does not cover
Alphatstone's consulting practice does not provide legal or tax advice — these require qualified Kenyan advocates and tax professionals, and we will refer you to appropriate specialists where relevant. We do not provide financial projections with guaranteed return assumptions; all forecast analysis is explicitly scenario-based and dependent on prevailing market conditions. Engagements that require physical construction management or quantity surveying fall outside our scope. Our role is analytical and advisory — we inform decisions, not execute the construction or financing that follows from them.
