Description
Set on George Padmore Road in the heart of Kilimani, Libra Residences is a new residential development built for families and professionals who want space, light, and a genuinely quiet address without stepping away from the city. Rising across two 20-floor blocks, the development brings together 120 generously sized 3, 4, and 5 bedroom apartments, each with a dedicated staff quarters, in one of Nairobi’s most established and well-connected neighbourhoods.

It’s a development suited equally to families settling in long-term and investors looking to hold a larger-format unit in a neighbourhood that continues to draw steady rental demand.

A Development Designed for Family Living
Libra Residences is built around the idea that a home should give a family room to breathe. Each apartment is designed with bright, spacious living and dining areas, fitted modern kitchens, and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in natural light throughout the day. Large balconies extend the living space outward, offering views over the Kilimani skyline.
Every bedroom is ensuite, and every unit comes with its own staff quarters — a detail that matters for families who need the practical support of live-in help without compromising on privacy or space. It’s a layout built for real, everyday family life rather than a compressed version of it.

- 24-hour CCTV surveillance and manned security
- Intercom system for secure access
- Infinity swimming pool
- Fully equipped modern gym
- Dedicated children’s play area
- Landscaped garden spaces

Together, these amenities are designed to support a self-contained, low-maintenance lifestyle — the kind that lets residents enjoy Kilimani’s energy without needing to leave the compound for daily conveniences.
Location Advantage
George Padmore Road places Libra Residences within easy reach of Kilimani’s key lifestyle, retail, and institutional anchors:
- Yaya Centre – 1.2 km
- Makini School – 1.5 km
- Prestige Plaza – 1.5 km
- Coptic Hospital – 1.7 km
- Junction Mall – 1.8 km
- Nairobi Hospital – 2.5 km
- State House – 3 km
- Nairobi CBD – 5.5 km
- JKIA – 18 km
Kilimani remains one of Nairobi’s most consistently in-demand residential addresses, prized for its proximity to Yaya Centre, Junction Mall, and the Ngong Road corridor, as well as its easy access to major hospitals, schools, and the CBD. For families, this means daily life — school runs, errands, healthcare — stays close and manageable. For investors, it means the location itself carries a track record of steady tenant and buyer interest.
Payment Plan
Libra Residences offers a flexible payment plan structured around the construction timeline, with completion anticipated in Q4 2027. A discount is available for buyers who choose to pay in full cash.
Exact payment milestones, deposit requirements, and instalment structures should be confirmed directly with Block Real Estate, as terms may be updated as construction progresses. Interested buyers are encouraged to request the latest brochure and payment schedule.
Why It Works for Homeowners
Libra Residences suits homeowners who want more than the typical Kilimani apartment footprint — real separation between living, dining, and sleeping areas, ensuite privacy in every bedroom, and staff quarters that make day-to-day family logistics easier. The gated, amenity-rich setting adds a layer of everyday convenience and security, while the George Padmore Road address keeps schools, hospitals, and shopping centres close without the compromise of a busier main road.
Why It Works for Investors
Larger-format units in established neighbourhoods like Kilimani tend to appeal to a specific, more stable tenant profile — expatriate families, senior professionals, and diplomatic tenants who value space and location over sheer novelty. Kilimani’s long-standing demand base, combined with Libra’s scale (120 units across two towers) and full amenity offering, positions the development as a considered addition to a long-term residential portfolio.
As with any off-plan investment, prospective buyers should independently verify projected rental income, occupancy expectations, and resale potential, and are encouraged to speak with a Block Real Estate advisor for a current, market-informed view before committing.
