Description
The duplexes are gone. The 4-bedrooms are gone. The 3-bedroom + DSQ units are gone. What remains at Emaar Residence are the final 3-bedroom apartments — two configurations at 200 sqm and 220 sqm — in one of the most sought-after addresses in Westlands: General Mathenge Road.
When a development sells through its largest and most expensive units first, it tells you something about the quality of what’s being built and the desirability of where it’s located. Emaar Residence has done exactly that. The KES 35M duplexes, the KES 28.7M 4-bedrooms, and the KES 28M 3-bed + DSQ units were snapped up by buyers who recognised that General Mathenge Road, Karura Forest views, and this specification don’t come together often.
The remaining units — starting from KES 22,200,000 with an interest-free payment plan of up to 4 years — represent the last opportunity to buy into this development. Once they’re gone, Emaar Residence is fully sold.
Why General Mathenge Road
General Mathenge Road is not just any Westlands address. It’s arguably the most prestigious residential street in the neighbourhood — a quiet, tree-lined road that has attracted Nairobi’s most discerning residents and some of the area’s finest developments. Living here means you’re in the heart of Westlands’ infrastructure and convenience, but on a street that maintains a distinctly residential, low-traffic character.
The location is exceptional in its proximity to everything that matters:
Sarit Centre — a stone’s throw away. One of Nairobi’s largest and most established malls, with over 200 shops, restaurants, banks, and services. Daily errands, grocery shopping, and dining are all within a short walk or a 2-minute drive.
Westgate Mall — minutes away. Premium retail, dining, and entertainment in one of Nairobi’s most iconic shopping destinations.
Oshwal Academy and College — immediately nearby. For families with school-age children, having a reputable school within walking distance is a genuine lifestyle advantage that saves hours of weekly commuting.
MP Shah Hospital — under 10 minutes. Quality healthcare within immediate reach for both routine and emergency needs.
Aga Khan Hospital — 10–15 minutes. One of East Africa’s most respected medical institutions, easily accessible from General Mathenge Road.
Karura Forest — practically at your doorstep. Nairobi’s premier urban forest — 1,000 hectares of indigenous woodland with jogging trails, cycling paths, waterfalls, and picnic areas. For residents who value nature, fitness, and weekend family outings, Karura is an irreplaceable amenity.
Nairobi CBD — 10–15 minute drive. Close enough for business, far enough for peace.
The Views: Karura Forest and the Nairobi Skyline
One of Emaar Residence’s most compelling features is what you see from the windows. The development offers breathtaking views of Karura Forest and the Nairobi CBD — a dual panorama that combines the green expanse of one of Africa’s largest urban forests with the energy and lights of Nairobi’s evolving skyline.
These aren’t views that will be built out. Karura Forest is protected — a permanent, 1,000-hectare green buffer that guarantees your outlook for decades. The forest-facing views are particularly striking at dawn and dusk, when the canopy shifts through shades of green and gold, and in the evening, when the CBD lights create a contrasting backdrop of urban energy against natural calm.
For buyers and tenants alike, views of this calibre are a premium driver. They justify higher rents, command stronger resale prices, and create the kind of daily living experience that makes coming home feel like arriving somewhere special.
What’s Available: The Final Two Configurations
With the duplexes, 4-bedrooms, and 3-bed + DSQ all sold out, two 3-bedroom configurations remain:
| Unit Type | Size | Price (KES) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Bedroom | 200 sqm | 22,200,000 | Available — Last Units |
| 3 Bedroom | 220 sqm | 23,000,000 | Available — Last Units |
| 3 Bedroom + DSQ | 260 sqm | 28,000,000 | Sold Out |
| 4 Bedroom | 270 sqm | 28,700,000 | Sold Out |
| 4 Bedroom Duplex | 320 sqm | 35,000,000 | Sold Out |
3 Bedroom at 200 sqm — KES 22,200,000
Two hundred square metres of living space in a 3-bedroom configuration is generous by any standard. The master bedroom is en-suite, the second bedroom is en-suite, and a guest bathroom serves the third bedroom and communal areas. The open-plan living and dining area is scaled for both daily family life and weekend entertaining — there’s room for a full dining table, a comfortable lounge setup, and still space to move without furniture feeling cramped.
3 Bedroom at 220 sqm — KES 23,000,000
The 220 sqm variant adds 20 sqm to the footprint — an increase that’s distributed across the living areas and bedrooms to create noticeably more generous proportions. For just KES 800,000 more than the 200 sqm option, you gain an additional 20 sqm of living space that you’ll appreciate every day. The premium per square metre actually decreases, making the 220 sqm unit the better value proposition on a size-adjusted basis.
Both configurations include 2 en-suite bedrooms, a third bedroom with guest bathroom access, and 2 dedicated parking bays.

Payment Plan: Up to 4 Years, Interest-Free
This is one of the most attractive payment structures currently available for a ready or near-ready Westlands apartment. Emaar Residence offers a payment plan of up to 4 years with no interest — meaning you can spread the purchase cost over 48 months without any financing charges.
Example — 3 Bedroom (200 sqm) at KES 22,200,000 over 4 years:
| Payment Structure | Amount (KES) |
|---|---|
| Monthly instalment (approx.) | ~462,500 |
| Total (no interest) | 22,200,000 |
An interest-free plan over 4 years is rare in the Kenyan market and significantly reduces the total cost of ownership compared to mortgage financing, where interest charges can add 30–50% to the purchase price over the loan term. For buyers who can manage monthly instalments in the KES 460,000–480,000 range, this plan eliminates the need for a bank mortgage entirely.
Investment Perspective: Proven Rental Income
Emaar Residence isn’t a projection — it’s a building with established rental data. Units in the development are already tenanted, and the actual rental figures demonstrate why General Mathenge Road commands premium returns.
Actual Emaar Residence Rental Rates:
| Unit Type | Size | Furnished Rent | Unfurnished Rent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 Bedroom | 200 sqm | KES 250,000/month | KES 215,000/month |
| 3 Bedroom | 220 sqm | KES 260,000/month | KES 225,000/month |
| 3 Bedroom + DSQ | 260 sqm | KES 300,000/month | KES 265,000/month |
| 4 Bedroom | 270 sqm | KES 310,000/month | KES 275,000/month |
| 4 Bedroom Duplex | 320 sqm | KES 365,000/month | KES 330,000/month |
These are real market rates, not estimates — a significant advantage for buyers doing their investment calculations.
Yield Analysis — 3 Bedroom (200 sqm) at KES 22,200,000:
Unfurnished:
- Monthly rent: KES 215,000
- Annual rental income: KES 2,580,000
- Gross yield: 11.6%
- Net yield (after management, maintenance, vacancy): ~9%
Furnished:
- Monthly rent: KES 250,000
- Annual rental income: KES 3,000,000
- Gross yield: 13.5%
- Net yield: ~10.5%
Yield Analysis — 3 Bedroom (220 sqm) at KES 23,000,000:
Unfurnished:
- Monthly rent: KES 225,000
- Annual rental income: KES 2,700,000
- Gross yield: 11.7%
- Net yield: ~9%
Furnished:
- Monthly rent: KES 260,000
- Annual rental income: KES 3,120,000
- Gross yield: 13.6%
- Net yield: ~10.5%
These are exceptional yields for a prime Westlands address. Gross returns above 11% unfurnished — and above 13% furnished — place Emaar Residence among the highest-yielding quality investments currently available in Nairobi. For context, most premium Nairobi apartments deliver gross yields of 7–9%. Emaar significantly outperforms.
The furnished option adds meaningful income — roughly KES 35,000/month premium — which more than covers the cost of furnishing within the first year. Investors targeting the corporate and diplomatic tenant market (who typically prefer furnished units and pay premium rents) should seriously consider the furnished strategy.
The combination of a prime General Mathenge Road address, protected Karura Forest views, and a development where the premium units have already sold creates a strong floor under resale values. Buyers who purchase the remaining units are acquiring the last available inventory in a proven, income-generating development — a position that only strengthens over time.
Why Act Now
The sales trajectory tells the story. The 4-bedroom duplexes at KES 35M sold first. Then the 4-bedrooms at KES 28.7M. Then the 3-bed + DSQ at KES 28M. What’s left are the final 3-bedroom apartments — the last chance to buy into Emaar Residence at any price.
General Mathenge Road doesn’t produce new developments frequently. When a quality building on this street offers its last units with an interest-free 4-year payment plan, the window is narrow.
