Why It Works for Homeowners

The 1 bedroom apartments are particularly relevant to buyers who want a manageable home within a well-connected part of Nairobi.

For professionals, Westlands provides proximity to offices, restaurants, shopping and entertainment.

For couples, the one-bedroom format can provide a private home without the additional space requirements of a larger apartment.

The extensive amenity offering also means residents have access to fitness, wellness, leisure and social spaces within the development.

Why It Works for Investors

The 1 bedroom segment can be considered by investors evaluating residential property in Westlands.

However, the investment decision should be based on the specific apartment and current market evidence.

Before purchasing, investors should assess:

• Comparable one-bedroom rents in Westlands
• Purchase price per square metre
• Service charge
• Management costs
• Furnishing costs
• Financing costs
• Vacancy assumptions
• Competing developments
• Resale demand

Rather than relying on projected returns, investors should build their own cash-flow assessment using current achievable rental rates and actual ownership costs.

Finishes and Specifications

The residences are planned around contemporary urban living, with dedicated spaces for the key functions of a home.

The 1 bedroom configurations include:

• Bedroom
• Kitchen
• Bathroom
• Utility provision

Exact details covering flooring, cabinetry, appliances, sanitaryware, windows, doors and other finishes should be confirmed from the latest specifications schedule.
