There is a quiet confidence to a home that gives you room to breathe. J&M Palms Residences, a 23-floor tower on General Mathenge Drive in Upper Westlands, was designed around exactly that — space, privacy and a genuine sense of arrival, in one of Nairobi’s most established and central addresses.

The development is deliberately exclusive. Though the building could hold far more, it is limited to just 34 homes: 32 spacious four-bedroom en-suite duplex apartments, each with a domestic staff quarter and a family TV room, and two expansive six-bedroom penthouses on the top floors. Every home is generously proportioned and finished to a high standard, with large, flowing balconies and 360-degree views stretching from Karura Forest across Spring Valley and Loresho to the city skyline.

For families and buyers who want real space in a prime, leafy Westlands setting — with the convenience of the city moments away — J&M Palms offers a considered, private and well-connected home.

A Development Designed for Spacious, Elevated Living

J&M Palms Residences is built around space and privacy. Where many towers maximise the number of units, this one does the opposite — capping the building at 34 homes so that each enjoys room, light and calm.

The four-bedroom duplexes are exceptionally generous, arranged over two levels with a self-contained upper floor, a family TV room, walk-in closets in every en-suite bedroom, and large balconies that draw in the light and the views. The two penthouses take this further still, offering expansive, customisable living for those who want a truly bespoke home. It is a development for buyers who value scale, seclusion and a prime central address — without compromise.

Unit Types

J&M Palms Residences offers two home types, both en-suite and finished to a high standard:

Unit type	Size	From (approx. KES)
4-Bedroom En-Suite Duplex + DSQ	334 sqm (3,600 sqft)	KES 49M
6-Bedroom En-Suite Penthouse	613 sqm (6,600 sqft)	KES 193.5M

4-Bedroom Duplex

Each duplex is arranged over two levels, with a dual-level entrance and:

• Four en-suite bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet
• A self-contained upper level with a sizeable TV room and a kitchenette
• A family TV room
• A domestic staff quarter (DSQ)
• Two fully fitted kitchens (front and back) with a walk-in pantry
• Large, flowing balconies

The 4-bedroom duplexes are priced from approximately KES 49M, ranging to about KES 59M depending on the unit and floor.

6-Bedroom Penthouse

Just two penthouses occupy the top floors — each six-bedroom and en-suite, delivered fully furnished and smart-automated, with the option to customise the layout and features to your own specification. Priced from approximately KES 193.5M; bespoke additions are confirmed on enquiry.

Prices are converted from the developer’s US-dollar pricing at the current exchange rate and are indicative; the exact shilling amount is confirmed on enquiry. Full floor plans and the current price list are available on request.

Location Advantage

J&M Palms Residences sits on General Mathenge Drive, in the leafy, upmarket Upper General Mathenge area of Westlands — one of Nairobi’s most prestigious and central residential addresses.

What that means for daily life:

• Shopping close by — Sarit Centre and Westgate Mall both within a short drive.
• Top schools nearby — including Oshwal Academy and the International School of Kenya.
• Leading healthcare — Aga Khan University Hospital and Jalaram Hospital within a 5–10 minute radius.
• Excellent connectivity — quick access via Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway, with the CBD a short drive away.
• Green space and culture — Karura Forest for a peaceful retreat, with the Nairobi National Museum close by.

It is a setting that balances a vibrant, well-connected location with the calm and greenery of one of Nairobi’s most sought-after suburbs. A precise location pin can be shared on enquiry.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For families and owner-occupiers, J&M Palms Residences offers a rare combination:

• Exceptional space — 334 sqm four-bedroom duplexes over two levels, each with a DSQ, a family TV room and generous storage.
• Genuine privacy — just 34 homes in a building that could hold far more.
• A prime, leafy address — Upper General Mathenge, close to Sarit, Westgate, top schools and major hospitals.
• 360-degree views — from Karura Forest across Spring Valley and Loresho to the city skyline.
• A secure, well-serviced building — 24/7 manned security, CCTV, access control, a full backup generator and reliable water systems.

It is a home that offers both scale and seclusion, in one of Westlands’ most established settings.

Why It Works for Investors

Block does not make rental or return projections. Instead, we point buyers to the fundamentals worth weighing on their own merits:

• A blue-chip, central address. Upper General Mathenge is one of Nairobi’s most prestigious and consistently sought-after residential locations.
• Genuine, built-in scarcity. J&M Palms is deliberately capped at 34 homes in a building that could hold 50–60 — an unusually low density that is difficult to replicate.
• A rare product. Large two-level duplexes with a DSQ, and just two customisable penthouses, are a limited and distinctive offering.
• A rare outlook. 360-degree views spanning Karura Forest to the city skyline are a scarce attribute at this scale.
• Established infrastructure and connectivity. Sarit, Westgate, top schools, Aga Khan Hospital, Waiyaki Way and the Expressway are all close at hand.

We are glad to talk through these fundamentals openly and help you decide whether J&M Palms fits your own plans — without overpromising on performance.

Finishes and Specifications

J&M Palms Residences is finished to a high standard, with a clear emphasis on quality and craftsmanship. Reported features include:

• Italian cabinetry and cupboard finishing
• Egyptian tiling
• Fully fitted kitchens with a walk-in pantry

• Two kitchens (front and back) in each duplex, plus a master kitchenette
• Walk-in closets in all en-suite bedrooms

Full finishing schedules — including specific fittings and material selections — are best confirmed against the developer’s specification sheet and on a showhouse visit.
