1 Bedroom Apartment at Aether Residences

Unit at a Glance

The one-bedroom apartment at Aether Residences strikes the balance most city buyers are after: a proper, separate bedroom and a comfortable living space, in the centre of Westlands, without stretching to a larger unit. It is 57 to 60 sqm (613–645 sqft), on Lantana Road, from KES 6.5M — a short distance from the offices, malls and restaurants that anchor the neighbourhood.

For a single professional or a couple, it is an easy home to live in and a genuinely central one. And the building gives you more than the apartment itself: a rooftop infinity pool, a padel court and on-site dining, in an address designed around modern city living.

A point to be clear on: Aether Residences is off-plan, with completion scheduled for June 2028. You are buying ahead of construction — with first pick of units and payments spread across the build — rather than a home ready to move into now. We will talk you through the terms before you commit.

A Home Designed for Central, Connected Living

The one-bedroom layout gives you a separate bedroom and an open, well-proportioned living and kitchen space — the difference between a home that simply works and one you genuinely enjoy. It suits a single professional who wants room to breathe, or a couple who want a comfortable, low-maintenance base in the heart of the city. Two layouts are offered: Type A at 57 sqm, and Type B at 60 sqm, which adds a study nook for working from home.

The developer’s brochure also shows a larger one-bedroom with a separate study room: 93 sqm, with two bathrooms and a balcony. Ask us for its price and availability.

Living on Lantana Road puts Sarit Centre about 15 minutes away on foot, with the gym downstairs, a swim on the roof and dinner within the building when you would rather not go far. It is an uncomplicated, lock-up-and-go way to live centrally.

Other Layouts at Aether Residences

If you would prefer a leaner footprint or more space, the development also offers Studio apartments (from KES 5.5M) and 2 Bedroom apartments (95–120 sqm, from KES 10.6M). See the full Aether Residences development page for everything in one place.

Amenities

Aether Residences sits at the upper end of Westlands developments for amenities:

• Rooftop infinity swimming pool with Nairobi skyline views
• Rooftop padel court — a rare feature in a Nairobi residential building
• On-site restaurant
• Café and social lounge
• Fully equipped gym
• Hotel-style reception lobby
• On-site mini-mart

Location Advantage

Lantana Road sits on the quieter, residential side of Westlands, between Rhapta Road and Riverside Drive, with Sarit Centre, the GTC and Waiyaki Way a few minutes away. Westlands itself is Nairobi’s prime commercial and diplomatic district, home to a dense concentration of corporate offices, international organisations, hotels, malls and restaurants. A one-bedroom here puts work, shopping and social life within easy reach.

• Sarit Centre — about 15 minutes on foot
• Global Trade Centre (GTC) and Westgate Mall — 6 to 10 minutes by car
• MP Shah Hospital — about 10 minutes; Aga Khan University Hospital — about 12 minutes
• Nairobi CBD — about 15 minutes via Waiyaki Way
• UN offices and embassies in Gigiri — about 20 minutes
• JKIA — about 30 minutes via the Nairobi Expressway

(Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic.)

Payment Plan

A 20% deposit reserves your apartment, with the balance payable in instalments through construction and a final payment on completion in June 2028. Spreading payments across the construction period makes ownership more manageable than paying in full upfront, and it suits both local and diaspora buyers. Terms can be tailored and may be updated by the developer, so we will confirm the current schedule for you before you commit.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For professionals and couples whose lives centre on Westlands, a one-bedroom is the sweet spot — a proper home with a separate bedroom, in the middle of the city, with the building’s amenities and security taking care of the day-to-day. With a June 2028 completion, it suits a buyer planning ahead, and gives you the chance to secure your preferred unit at today’s pricing.

Why It Works for Investors

Westlands has a long-established rental market with a deep pool of corporate and expatriate residents — exactly the tenants a well-finished one-bedroom in this location tends to appeal to. As an off-plan purchase, any rental income only begins after completion in 2028, and actual returns will depend on the finished product, your furnishing standard and market conditions at the time. Rather than quote yield or vacancy figures, we are happy to prepare a grounded rental appraisal for the unit and talk through the realistic numbers before you decide.

Buying from Abroad

The off-plan structure and instalment payments make Aether Residences well suited to diaspora buyers, and the process can be handled remotely. A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to get started — you do not need to be in the country to begin — and Block handles the KRA PIN registration and the paperwork. Budget for stamp duty of 4% of the purchase price on transfer, legal fees (typically 1% plus VAT) and the developer’s completion charges, such as utility meter connections, sectional title registration and service charge paid in advance. We will set out the full cost picture before you commit.

Finishes and Specifications

Aether Residences is designed with a hotel-style sensibility and modern finishes throughout. As this is off-plan, the detailed finishes and specification schedule — kitchen fittings, flooring, fixtures and the exact inclusions for the apartment — is best reviewed directly. Ask us for the latest brochure, specification sheet and floor plans so you know precisely what is being delivered.
