Overview
About Lumen
Some homes are defined by their finishes. Lumen is defined by its light.
Set along Limuru Road at the intersection of 6th Parklands, Lumen overlooks both the city and Karura Forest. Its east-west orientation brings soft morning light and sunset views, with unobstructed outlooks on both sides.
The one bedroom apartments are 70 sqm each, in two layouts: forest-facing or panorama. Priced from KES 7.8M to KES 9.8M and due for completion in June 2028, they suit first-time buyers, young professionals and investors looking at the Westlands market.

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 over Karura Forest. Evenings end with the sun setting over the city. In between, the building supports a full day at home: a gym and yoga studio to start, a co-working space for the working hours, and a rooftop terrace, pool and restaurant for the evening.
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
1 Bedroom Forest-Facing (70 sqm)
Faces Karura Forest, so greenery and soft morning light are part of daily life. A good fit for buyers who want a calmer outlook.
1 Bedroom Panorama (70 sqm)
The same 70 sqm footprint, oriented for a wider panoramic outlook across the surroundings.
Pricing: KES 7.8M to KES 9.8M, depending on the layout and view.
