Galaxy One: 210 Apartments Where Rhapta Road Meets Something Different

Rhapta Road is one of the most recognisable streets in Westlands. Walk it end to end and you pass restaurants, offices, embassies, serviced apartments, and the kind of casual foot traffic that tells you a neighbourhood is alive and functioning. It’s a Westlands address that works — for living, for leasing, and for long-term value.

Galaxy One is a 210-unit residential development rising on this road, and it brings something to Rhapta Road that the street hasn’t had before: an amenity package that reads more like a members’ club than an apartment building. An indoor 20-metre mini-golf court. A private 8-seat cinema. Two landscaped art gardens — one at ground level, one on the rooftop. A residents’ dry cleaning room. An infinity pool with city views. These aren’t afterthoughts bolted onto a generic floor plate. They’re the reason Galaxy One will be the building on Rhapta Road that tenants ask for by name.

Apartments range from 1-bedroom (57 sqm) at KES 7.03M to 3-bedroom (142 sqm) at KES 19.02M, with completion scheduled for December 2027.

Rhapta Road: The Westlands Street That Delivers

Rhapta Road sits in the residential-commercial sweet spot of Westlands — close enough to the main arteries for connectivity, set back enough for a liveable streetscape. The location puts Galaxy One residents within minutes of everything that defines the Westlands lifestyle.

Sarit Centre — Nairobi’s most established shopping complex — is a short drive or a reasonable walk. Westgate Mall is equally accessible, with its premium retail, dining, and entertainment. The broader Westlands commercial district — corporate headquarters, international organisations, co-working spaces — surrounds you. For the growing community of professionals who split their working week between an office in Westlands and a desk at home, living on Rhapta Road eliminates the commute on the days it matters most.

Road connectivity is strong. Rhapta Road links to Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway, connecting residents to the CBD, Kilimani, Upper Hill, and JKIA without the routing gymnastics that some Westlands side-streets require. International schools, hospitals (including Aga Khan and MP Shah), and the diplomatic corridor along Parklands are all within the immediate catchment.

For investors, Rhapta Road’s tenant demand is driven by the street’s walkability, its restaurant and café scene, and its proximity to the offices where Westlands’ professional and expatriate population works. This is the kind of micro-location where vacancy stays low because tenants can picture themselves living — not just sleeping.

The Apartments: Six Configurations Across Three Bedroom Types

Galaxy One offers six unit types across 210 apartments, giving buyers a range of sizes and price points within a single, coherently designed building.

1-Bedroom Apartments — From KES 7,030,000

Unit Type	Size	Price (KES)
Type A5	57.08 sqm	From 7,030,000
Type A2	57.08 sqm	From 7,620,000
Type A6	59.62 sqm	From 7,960,000

Three 1-bedroom configurations — same building, different orientations and floor positions, reflected in the pricing tiers. At 57–60 sqm, these are properly proportioned 1-bedrooms with defined living zones, functional kitchens, and bedrooms that accommodate a king-size bed and built-in storage without compromise.

The price differentiation across the three types gives buyers a genuine choice. The Type A5 at KES 7.03M is one of the most competitive entry points into a quality Westlands development with this specification level. For investors targeting the short-stay or Airbnb market, the 1-bedrooms on Rhapta Road occupy the sweet spot — walkable location, strong amenity package, compact enough to furnish affordably, and located in the Westlands postcode that drives the highest short-stay demand in Nairobi.

For the executive leasing market, a well-furnished Galaxy One 1-bedroom will compete for tenants who currently pay KES 60,000–85,000/month in comparable Westlands developments — yielding 10–14% gross on the entry price.

2-Bedroom Apartments — From KES 11,030,000

Unit Type	Size	Price (KES)
Type A4	82.67 sqm	From 11,030,000
Type A1	90.66 sqm	From 12,100,000

Two 2-bedroom options — the Type A4 at nearly 83 sqm and the Type A1 at over 90 sqm. The size gap between the two is meaningful in daily life: the A1’s extra 8 sqm translates into a wider living area, more generous bedroom proportions, or additional storage — the details that determine whether an apartment feels “fine” or feels like home.

For couples and small families, the 2-bedrooms deliver the space to live comfortably in central Westlands without the premium of a 3-bedroom. For investors, the 2-bedroom is the most versatile rental configuration — it attracts young families, professional couples, roommate arrangements, and corporate tenants equally, creating the broadest possible demand base and the lowest vacancy risk.

3-Bedroom Apartments — From KES 19,020,000

Unit Type	Size	Price (KES)
Type A7	142.43 sqm	From 19,020,000

The flagship configuration. At 142 sqm, the Type A7 is a full family-scale apartment — three bedrooms, generous living and dining areas, and the footprint to accommodate the furniture, the daily routines, and the hosting that a family home requires. In a building with Galaxy One’s amenity package and Rhapta Road’s location, the 3-bedroom targets families who want Westlands convenience without sacrificing space, and landlords pursuing the premium end of the Westlands rental market where quality 3-bedrooms command KES 150,000–200,000/month.

The Amenity Package: What Sets Galaxy One Apart

Galaxy One’s amenities are what separate it from the dozens of other Westlands apartment buildings competing for the same tenants. Several of these facilities are genuinely rare in the Nairobi residential market — and rarity, in property, creates the differentiation that drives preference, occupancy, and premium rents.

The Indoor 20-Metre Mini-Golf Court. This is the headline amenity, and it deserves to be. No other apartment development in Nairobi — Westlands or otherwise — offers an indoor mini-golf facility. It’s social, it’s unusual, it’s the amenity that gets mentioned in every conversation about the building. For short-stay guests on Airbnb, it’s the listing photo that stops the scroll.

The Private 8-Seat Cinema. A dedicated screening room with eight seats — intimate enough for a date night, comfortable enough for a family movie session, and bookable for residents who want a cinema experience without leaving the building. The 8-seat format keeps it exclusive rather than crowded.

Two Art Gardens. A ground-floor landscaped garden and a rooftop garden — both designed with sculptural and botanical elements that elevate the aesthetic of the common spaces. These aren’t afterthought green patches. They’re curated environments that give the building an identity and provide residents with outdoor spaces that feel intentional and maintained.

Infinity Swimming Pool. Rooftop pool with city views — the amenity that has become table stakes for quality Westlands developments, delivered here with the elevation and sightlines that make it worth using.

Gym, Yoga Deck, Spa & Sauna. A complete wellness floor that replaces external memberships. The yoga and wellness deck is a meaningful addition for the growing number of residents who prioritise flexibility and mindfulness alongside traditional gym training.

Coffee House & BBQ Area. On-site social spaces that build community without requiring residents to organise it. The coffee house functions as an informal co-working and socialising space. The BBQ area handles weekend entertaining.

Kids’ Play Area. Safe, dedicated play space for younger residents — an essential amenity for the family tenants that 2 and 3-bedroom apartments attract.

Meeting & Conference Lounge. A professional-grade meeting space within the building for residents who work remotely and occasionally need a proper room for video calls, client meetings, or collaborative work. This amenity directly serves the hybrid-work lifestyle that now defines a significant portion of Westlands’ professional tenant pool.

Residents’ Dry Cleaning Room. A small but telling detail. This is the kind of convenience that signals a development team thinking about actual daily life rather than just architectural renders.

Building Infrastructure. Ample parking across two basement levels plus ground floor. Full power backup generator. Borehole water supply. 24/7 security with CCTV surveillance. High-speed lifts. Luxurious reception lobby. The operational backbone that ensures the building runs smoothly long after the marketing brochure has been recycled.

The Investment Numbers

Rhapta Road’s rental market benefits from Westlands’ strongest demand drivers: corporate proximity, expatriate concentration, walkability, and lifestyle infrastructure. Galaxy One’s amenity differentiation — particularly the mini-golf court, cinema, and art gardens — adds a marketing edge that translates directly into faster leasing and higher achieved rents.

1-Bedroom (Type A5, KES 7.03M) at KES 70,000/month:

• Annual income: KES 840,000
• Gross yield: 11.9%

2-Bedroom (Type A4, KES 11.03M) at KES 120,000/month:

• Annual income: KES 1,440,000
• Gross yield: 13.1%

3-Bedroom (Type A7, KES 19.02M) at KES 170,000/month:

• Annual income: KES 2,040,000
• Gross yield: 10.7%

Off-plan buyers entering at current pricing secure their position ahead of the December 2027 completion, locking in today’s rates while the building appreciates through construction. In a 210-unit development on Rhapta Road, the combination of scale, specification, and location creates the conditions for both strong rental income and meaningful capital growth.
