Overview
Description
Museum Station Retail, office and serviced apartment spaces to let at Museum Station, Muthithi Road, Westlands — a landmark mixed-use address with strategic access to Nairobi’s main highways.
Museum Station: Retail and Office Spaces To Let on Muthithi Road, WestlandsSome addresses simply work harder for a business than others. Museum Station, set along Muthithi Road in the heart of Westlands, is one of them — a landmark mixed-use development bringing retail, office space, and serviced apartments together under a single, well-connected roof.
For retailers, it offers direct footfall from a genuinely mixed community of office workers, residents, and visitors. For businesses seeking office space, it offers a professional, well-serviced environment with strategic access to Thika Road, the Expressway, Uhuru Highway, and Waiyaki Way — a rare convenience for teams and clients commuting from across the city. And for investors and landlords, it represents a chance to be part of a development built around long-term occupier appeal rather than short-term novelty.
Whether you’re opening a flagship retail store, relocating your office, or exploring an investment opportunity, we recommend speaking to our team to confirm current availability, floor plans, and lease terms.

A Development Designed for Business and Urban Living
Museum Station has been designed around the reality of how modern Nairobi works, shops, and stays — often within the same few city blocks. Bringing retail, office space, and serviced apartments into one address means the development benefits from a built-in audience: office tenants who become retail customers, apartment residents who need everyday services nearby, and visitors who value the convenience of staying close to where business happens.
For occupiers, this translates into practical advantages — a steady flow of people through the building, a professional and well-maintained environment, and the kind of infrastructure that reduces daily friction, from backup power to secure parking and manned security.

Location Advantage
Muthithi Road sits at the centre of Westlands, one of Nairobi’s most established commercial and lifestyle districts. Museum Station’s position gives occupiers strategic access to several of the city’s key arterial routes — Thika Road, the Expressway, Uhuru Highway, and Waiyaki Way — making it a practical base for businesses that serve clients or teams across Nairobi.
Westlands itself continues to draw a mix of corporate offices, retail brands, and hospitality operators, supported by a dense residential and daytime working population. For retailers, this means proximity to consistent footfall. For office occupiers, it means being close to clients, talent, and the wider business ecosystem that Westlands has built over the years.
We recommend requesting a location map and, where possible, arranging a site visit to assess the surrounding environment firsthand.

Why It Works for Homeowners
While Museum Station is a commercial development, its serviced apartments offer a genuine lifestyle option for those seeking a well-managed, long-stay residence in the middle of Westlands. For business owners, professionals, or families who want the convenience of city-centre living — with retail, offices, and everyday amenities within the same address — the serviced apartments provide a home base that removes much of the hassle of independent city living, from security to building management.
Why It Works for Investors
For investors and landlords, Museum Station’s mixed-use model is built around a broader base of demand than a single-use building can typically offer. Office occupiers, retail tenants, and serviced apartment residents each contribute to the character and activity of the development, which can support more consistent footfall and occupier interest over time.
The building’s strategic access to multiple major routes, combined with its position in an established commercial district like Westlands, adds to its appeal for businesses evaluating long-term premises. As with any commercial investment, actual occupancy, rental performance, and returns will depend on prevailing market conditions. We encourage investors to speak with our team about current leasing activity and to conduct independent due diligence before making a decision.
