A Development Designed for Family Living

Alkira Residences was conceived with everyday family life in mind rather than as a showpiece. The layouts are generous, the communal spaces are functional, and the overall scale of the building — just 56 homes — keeps things personal. Corridors and shared spaces feel less transient than in larger high-rises, and residents benefit from amenities that support both daily routine and downtime, from a dedicated kids’ play area to a fitness and lounge space that doesn’t require leaving the compound. It is a building that seems designed for people who intend to actually live in it, not simply pass through it.

Unit Types

Alkira offers four 3-bedroom configurations, giving buyers flexibility depending on household size, live-in help arrangements, or investment strategy:

• 3-Bedroom, Master En-Suite — 148 to 175 sq.m
• 3-Bedroom, Master En-Suite plus DSQ — 139 sq.m
• 3-Bedroom, All En-Suite — 161 to 172 sq.m
• 3-Bedroom, All En-Suite plus DSQ — 150 sq.m

Each apartment is designed around a semi-open kitchen with granite countertops, high cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting; a spacious living area that opens onto a large balcony (some units feature balconies that wrap around 90 degrees for extended outdoor living); a compact but efficient dining area; and open-plan bathrooms finished with frosted glass and stand-alone vanities. An extra cloakroom for visitors is included, along with a dedicated laundry area and pantry.

For exact floor plans, unit orientation, and current availability by unit type, buyers are encouraged to request the latest brochure from Block Real Estate.

Amenities

Alkira’s amenity offering is practical rather than ornamental, focused on the day-to-day needs of resident families:

• Fitness centre and residents’ lounge
• Indoor kids’ play area
• Two parking spaces per unit, plus storage boxes (visitor parking available at an extra cost)
• Modern elevators
• CCTV surveillance and 24/7 security
• Backup generator
• Borehole water supply with 170-cubic-metre water storage capacity

Together, these amenities are designed to reduce the everyday frictions of Nairobi apartment living — water shortages, power interruptions, and security concerns — while still keeping the building’s footprint intentionally compact.

Location Advantage

Kileleshwa remains one of Nairobi’s most consistently in-demand residential neighbourhoods, and Othaya Road sits within its quieter, more established pocket. The area is known for its leafy streets, low-density character, and proximity to some of the city’s most useful conveniences — supermarkets, cafes, schools, hospitals, and places of worship are all within easy reach, while Westlands, Lavington, and the CBD are a short drive away.

For families, this means school runs, errands, and weekend plans stay manageable. For professionals and investors, it means the development sits inside an established rental catchment area with a long track record of steady tenant demand — a factor that matters more, over time, than any single amenity a building can offer.

Payment Plan

Specific payment plan structures — including deposit requirements, instalment schedules, and mortgage financing options — are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. Buyers are advised to request the current payment plan and price list directly from Block Real Estate to get terms that reflect the latest availability.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For a family or professional household, Alkira offers a home that is genuinely ready to move into — no waiting on construction timelines, no uncertainty about final finishes. The 3-bedroom layouts, several with a DSQ, suit households that need space for live-in help, extended family, or a home office. The building’s modest scale of 56 units means less congestion at entrances, lifts, and parking, and a stronger sense of familiarity among neighbours than is typical in larger developments. Combined with Kileleshwa’s established, low-density character, Alkira offers the kind of everyday liveability that is easy to underestimate on a floor plan but felt immediately once you’re living there.

Why It Works for Investor

Kileleshwa’s rental market has long benefited from consistent demand among professionals, diplomatic staff, and families who prioritise location and space over sheer novelty. A completed, ready-to-occupy building removes construction risk from the equation entirely — what you see is what you get, and rental income (where applicable) can begin without a lag. The 3-bedroom format, particularly units with a DSQ, tends to appeal to a specific and often stable tenant profile: established families and professionals seeking longer-term leases rather than short-term turnover.

As with any property investment, prospective investors should independently verify current rental yields, occupancy patterns, and market comparables for the immediate area before making a decision, and should not rely on projected returns that have not been confirmed at point of enquiry.

Finishes and Specifications

• Semi-open kitchen with high cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and granite countertops
• Wood-look, stain-resistant floor tiles throughout
• Large windows for natural light and ventilation
• Beamless ceilings for a more open, airy feel
• Open-plan bathrooms with frosted glass and stand-alone vanities
• Dedicated laundry area and pantry
• Extra cloakroom for visitors
• Balconies off the living area, with select units featuring a 90-degree wraparound design

Buyers should confirm current finish specifications and any customisation options with Block Real Estate, as details may be refined as units are handed over.

Who This Development Suits Best

Alkira Residences is best suited to:

• Families who want a spacious 3-bedroom home in an established, low-density Nairobi neighbourhood
• Households needing live-in help or extended family accommodation, thanks to the DSQ-inclusive unit options
• Buy-to-let investors seeking a completed asset in a proven rental catchment, without construction-phase risk
• Diaspora buyers who want the certainty of a ready, inspectable unit rather than an off-plan commitment
• Downsizers or upsizers moving within Kileleshwa who want more space without leaving the neighbourhood they know
