2 Bedroom Apartment at Aether Residences

For a household that wants to be in the centre of the city, the appeal is space without compromise on location: a comfortable home a short distance from Westlands’ offices, malls and restaurants, in a building with a rooftop infinity pool, a padel court and on-site dining.

A point to be clear on: Aether Residences is off-plan, with completion scheduled for June 2028. You are buying ahead of construction — with first pick of units and payments spread across the build — rather than a home ready to move into now. We will walk you through the terms before you commit.

Choose Your Layout

Every layout has a balcony, and Types A and C also have a separate laundry area. Sizes shown are the developer’s gross figures; the net internal areas are 82, 87 and 100 sqm respectively. Prices shown are starting prices and vary by floor and orientation — ask us for the current price list and floor plans. USD equivalents can be provided at the prevailing exchange rate on request.

A Home Designed for Family and Flexible Living

The two-bedroom layout is built for real life in the city. An open-plan living, dining and kitchen space sits at the centre, with two separate bedrooms that give a family room to spread out or sharers their own space, and a balcony in every layout. The second bedroom is genuinely versatile: a children’s room, a guest room, a study or a home office, depending on how you live.

With the building’s rooftop pool, gym and on-site dining, and much of Westlands within easy reach, it is a comfortable, well-served base for a household that wants to be in the centre of things.

Other Layouts at Aether Residences

If a smaller footprint suits you better, the development also offers studio apartments (from KES 5.5M) and 1 bedroom apartments (57–60 sqm, from KES 6.5M). See the full Aether Residences development page for everything in one place.

Amenities

Aether Residences sits at the upper end of Westlands developments for amenities:

• Rooftop infinity swimming pool with Nairobi skyline views
• Rooftop padel court — a rare feature in a Nairobi residential building
• On-site restaurant
• Café and social lounge
• Fully equipped gym
• Hotel-style reception lobby
• On-site mini-mart

Location Advantage

Lantana Road sits on the quieter, residential side of Westlands, between Rhapta Road and Riverside Drive, with Sarit Centre, the GTC and Waiyaki Way a few minutes away. Westlands itself is Nairobi’s prime commercial and diplomatic district, home to a dense concentration of corporate offices, international organisations, hotels, malls and restaurants — a practical, well-served base for family life in the city.

• Sarit Centre — about 15 minutes on foot
• Global Trade Centre (GTC) and Westgate Mall — 6 to 10 minutes by car
• MP Shah Hospital — about 10 minutes; Aga Khan University Hospital — about 12 minutes
• Nairobi CBD — about 15 minutes via Waiyaki Way
• UN offices and embassies in Gigiri — about 20 minutes
• JKIA — about 30 minutes via the Nairobi Expressway

(Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic.)

Payment Plan

A 20% deposit reserves your apartment, with the balance payable in instalments through construction and a final payment on completion in June 2028. Spreading payments across the build makes ownership more manageable than paying in full upfront, and it suits both local and diaspora buyers. Terms can be tailored and may be updated by the developer, so we will confirm the current schedule for you before you commit.

Why It Works for Homeowners

A two-bedroom gives a family the room to grow into, and gives couples or sharers a proper second space rather than a compromise, with a balcony in every layout and a third bathroom in Type B. Add the central Westlands location, the rooftop amenities and the building’s security, and it is a comfortable, well-connected home for a household that wants to be in the heart of the city. With a June 2028 completion, it suits a buyer planning ahead, and lets you secure your preferred layout at today’s pricing.

Why It Works for Investors

Westlands has a long-established rental market, and larger two-bedroom apartments tend to appeal to senior corporate professionals, families and the diplomatic tenant base that the area is known for. As an off-plan purchase, any rental income only begins after completion in 2028, and actual returns will depend on the finished product, your furnishing standard and market conditions at the time. We do not publish yield or appreciation figures — but we are happy to prepare a grounded rental appraisal for the layout you are considering and talk through the realistic numbers before you decide.

Buying from Abroad

The off-plan structure and instalment payments make Aether Residences well suited to diaspora buyers, and the process can be handled remotely. A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to get started — you do not need to be in the country to begin — and Block handles the KRA PIN registration and the paperwork. Budget for stamp duty of 4% of the purchase price on transfer, legal fees (typically 1% plus VAT) and the developer’s completion charges, such as utility meter connections, sectional title registration and service charge paid in advance. We will set out the full cost picture before you commit.

Finishes and Specifications

Aether Residences is designed with a hotel-style sensibility and modern finishes throughout. As this is off-plan, the detailed finishes and specification schedule — kitchen fittings, flooring, fixtures and the exact inclusions for each layout — is best reviewed directly. Ask us for the latest brochure, specification sheet and floor plans so you know precisely what is being delivered.
