There’s a lot to be said for a building that doesn’t feel crowded.

It offers thoughtfully designed 1 and 2-bedroom homes from KES 6.9M, pairing bright, modern interiors with a genuine sense of privacy and space, moments from GTC, Westlands’ malls, sports clubs and hospitals.

The homes are planned for comfortable, light-filled living, and the shared spaces lean towards wellbeing — an indoor pool, a fully equipped gym, a rooftop garden with city views, and a residents-only mini café and bar. It’s a calm, well-finished, accessibly priced home in a prime Westlands address, with a clear, structured payment plan and a completion scheduled for 2027.

A Development Designed for Calm, Connected Westlands Living

Lesto Residences is built around a simple idea that’s increasingly rare in the city: a modern home in a prime location that still feels private and unhurried. With a single block of just 96 apartments, the development keeps density low, so residents get a real sense of space that carries beyond the front door — and the quiet, leafy setting of Ojijo Close reinforces that calm.

The homes themselves are designed for comfortable, contemporary living — bright interiors, open-plan layouts, quality finishes and good natural light. Beyond the front door, the amenities lean towards wellbeing and easy sociability: an indoor swimming pool, a fully equipped gym, a rooftop garden with city views, a dedicated children’s play zone, and a residents-only mini café and bar. It’s a considered, lifestyle-led building in the heart of Westlands.

Location Advantage

Lesto Residences sits on Ojijo Close, off Ojijo Road, in Westlands — Nairobi’s second commercial hub, and one of its most connected neighbourhoods. The address is quiet and leafy, yet moments from the district’s key landmarks:

• Business: Steps from GTC (the Global Trade Centre)
• Shopping: Close to Westlands’ major malls, including Sarit Centre and Westgate
• Leisure and healthcare: Near the area’s sports clubs and leading hospitals
• Connectivity: Well connected to the wider Westlands business district and Waiyaki Way, with a quick commute to the Nairobi CBD

Westlands is home to major corporates, international institutions and a diverse, professional community — a large part of why the location holds its appeal for residents and longer-term buyers alike. For specific proximities that matter most to you, we’re happy to provide a detailed location guide at point of enquiry.

Payment Plan

Lesto Residences offers three clear routes to ownership, each starting from a 20% deposit:

• Cash: 20% deposit within 7 days, with the balance paid within 30 days.
• Instalment: 20% deposit within 7 days, then 10% within 3 months, 20% within 6 months, 10% within 8 months, 10% within 12 months, and the 30% balance on or before completion.
• Mortgage / bank financing: 20% deposit within 7 days, with the balance financed and secured by financiers and professional undertakings after completion.

Exact instalment amounts, dates and terms are confirmed in your offer and sale agreement. Budget also for statutory costs, including 4% stamp duty. Ask us for the current schedule and reservation terms at point of enquiry.

Buying from Abroad (Diaspora Buyers)

Lesto Residences suits Kenyans in the diaspora looking for a well-located, accessibly priced Nairobi home — and buying from overseas is more straightforward than many expect:

• A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to begin.
• Block handles your KRA PIN registration and the paperwork on your behalf.
• Stamp duty of 4% applies on transfer, and we’ll walk you through the full cost breakdown before you commit.

We can arrange a virtual walkthrough of the development and available units, and manage the process end to end so you can buy with confidence from wherever you are.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For an owner, the appeal is a calm, private home in a genuinely central part of Westlands. The low density — just 96 apartments in one block — means privacy and space rather than a crowded corridor, and the quiet, leafy Ojijo Close setting reinforces that. The homes are bright and modern, with a range of sizes to suit different needs, and the wellness-led amenities — indoor pool, gym, rooftop garden and residents’ café — make day-to-day living comfortable and sociable. With a clear, structured payment plan and an accessible entry price, it’s a sensible, considered home for professionals and young families alike.

Why It Works for Investors

We keep our investor guidance honest: we don’t publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell — and no one can guarantee them. You’ll see Lesto Residences marketed elsewhere with “strong rental demand” and “capital appreciation” claims; we’d encourage you to treat those as marketing, not fact, and to run your own numbers.

What can be said plainly is that this is a low-density, well-finished development on a prime, quiet Westlands address, in an established commercial corridor with a deep and varied tenant base of corporates, professionals and expatriates. The accessible entry point (from KES 6.9M) and the clear, structured payment options make it a straightforward purchase to plan around. If you’re considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy. We’re glad to help you review comparable sales and rentals in the area and connect you with independent advisers.

Finishes and Specifications

Lesto Residences is finished in a modern, contemporary style, designed for light and comfort:

• Open-plan layouts
• Bright interiors with generous natural light
• High ceilings
• A fully fitted modern kitchen
• Quality finishes throughout
• Balconies (subject to unit)

The detailed finish schedule, appliance specification, exact bathroom configuration (including any en-suite arrangements) and the specific layout of each home vary by unit type and are confirmed on the specification and floor plans — please request the latest brochure and floor plans at point of enquiry.
