A Development Designed for Elevated Urban Living

Lumen is built around the idea that where you wake up and where you come home to should both feel special.

Mornings begin with golden light spilling over Karura Forest. Evenings end with the sun setting over the city. Between the two, the building supports a full day at home: a gym and yoga studio for the start of it, a co-working space for the middle, and a rooftop terrace, pool and restaurant for unwinding.

It is urban living with a sense of openness, close to the energy of Westlands and still facing the calm of the forest.

Unit Types

Lumen offers four layouts across one and two bedroom apartments.

1 Bedroom Forest-Facing (70 sqm)
Designed to face Karura Forest, this layout suits those who want greenery and soft morning light as part of daily life.

1 Bedroom Panorama (70 sqm)
The same 70 sqm footprint, oriented for a wider panoramic outlook.

2 Bedroom City-Facing (110 sqm)
Facing the city, this layout suits buyers who want skyline views and sunset light, with space for a small family, a guest room or a home office.

2 Bedroom Forest-Facing (120 sqm)
The largest layout, facing Karura Forest, for those who want the most space alongside the forest outlook.

The price within each range depends on the layout and view you choose. Our team can walk you through the options and help you work out what suits your budget.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A view you choose. Four layouts let you decide between forest, city or panorama.
• Light through the day. The east-west orientation brings soft morning light and sunset views.
• Everything in one building. Gym, yoga studio, co-working space, rooftop pool, restaurant and play area reduce the need to go elsewhere for daily routines.
• Dependable daily comfort. Full backup power, solar panels and a borehole support day-to-day living.
• Security. Video intercom, CCTV and an electric fence keep the community protected.
• Well-placed for family life. Schools, a children’s hospital, a university hospital and a market are all within about 600 metres.

Why It Works for Investors

• Westlands location. Lumen’s proximity to the MICE hubs in Westlands makes it a considered option for rental income and capital gains.
• Entry prices across two unit types. One bedrooms start from KES 7.8M and two bedrooms from KES 12.5M, so buyers can match the purchase to their strategy.
• Distinctive product. Dual forest and city views, rooftop amenities and a co-working space set the building apart.
• Infrastructure that supports ownership. Backup power, solar panels and a borehole help keep a building comfortable to live in or lease.

As with any property purchase, rental performance and capital growth depend on market conditions, so we encourage investors to do their own due diligence. We are happy to help you think it through.
