Lesto Residences

Unit at a Glance

The most accessible way into a calm, low-density corner of Westlands. This 67 sqm (721 sqft) one-bedroom apartment at Lesto Residences sits on Ojijo Close, off Ojijo Road — a quiet, leafy address moments from GTC, Westlands’ malls and hospitals — from KES 6.9M. Bright, open-plan and thoughtfully finished, it’s an easy, well-located home for a young professional, and a straightforward option for a buy-to-let buyer, in a building of just 96 apartments where privacy comes as standard.

Lesto Residences is off-plan, with groundbreaking underway and completion scheduled for 2027 — a chance to buy early, with a clear, structured payment plan.

Prices are guide figures and vary by floor and unit. Please request the latest price list, floor plans and payment schedule at point of enquiry.

The Home

The one-bedroom is designed as a bright, efficient home that makes the most of its space — an open-plan layout, generous natural light, high ceilings and a fully fitted modern kitchen, finished to a quality standard. It’s a comfortable, low-maintenance home in a genuinely central location, in a building deliberately kept low-density for privacy and space.

The detailed finish schedule, appliance specification and exact bathroom configuration are confirmed on the specification and floor plan — please request the latest at point of enquiry.

Location — Ojijo Close, Westlands

Lesto Residences sits on Ojijo Close, off Ojijo Road, in Westlands — Nairobi’s second commercial hub. The address is quiet and leafy, yet moments from the district’s 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 Westlands business district and Waiyaki Way, with a quick commute to the CBD

Payment Plan

Three clear routes to ownership, each from a 20% deposit:

• Cash: 20% deposit within 7 days, balance 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.

Exact terms are confirmed in your offer and sale agreement. Budget also for 4% stamp duty.

Buying from Abroad (Diaspora Buyers)

Buying from overseas is straightforward. A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to begin, Block registers your KRA PIN and handles the paperwork on your behalf, and stamp duty is 4% on transfer. We can arrange a virtual walkthrough and manage the process end to end.

Why It Works

For a homeowner, this is a bright, private, low-maintenance home in a central yet calm part of Westlands — with the wellness-led amenities (indoor pool, gym, rooftop garden, residents’ café) that make day-to-day living comfortable, in a building kept deliberately low-density. For a considered investor, it’s an accessibly priced unit on a prime, quiet Westlands address, in an established commercial corridor with a deep corporate, professional and expatriate tenant base, and a clear, structured payment plan to buy against. We keep our investor guidance honest: we don’t publish rental yields, occupancy or appreciation forecasts, and you’ll see the development 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. 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.

Who This Suits Best

• Young professionals wanting a bright, private home in a central Westlands address
• First-time buyers looking for an accessible entry into a low-density development
• Buy-to-let and diaspora buyers who will review the numbers independently
