Some addresses simply put you in the middle of things. Aether Residences, on Lantana Road in the heart of Westlands, is one of them — a contemporary, mixed-use apartment development a short distance from the offices, malls, restaurants and embassies that make Westlands Nairobi’s busiest commercial and lifestyle district.
It is a building designed around how people actually want to live in the city: compact, well-planned studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, paired with a genuinely unusual set of rooftop amenities — an infinity pool with skyline views, a padel court, and on-site dining. For someone who wants to live close to work without giving up comfort, or an investor who knows the Westlands rental market, it is an address worth a serious look.
One thing to be clear about from the outset: Aether Residences is an off-plan development, with completion scheduled for June 2028. You are buying ahead of construction, which has its advantages — first pick of units and the ability to spread payments across the build — but it also means the home is a future delivery rather than something you can move into today. We will always walk you through the agreement, the payment terms and what to look for before you commit.

A Development Designed for Connected City Living
Aether Residences is built for life in the centre of Westlands. The appeal is partly the apartments themselves — efficient, modern layouts that make sense for professionals, couples and small households — and partly everything that sits on top of them.
The rooftop is the heart of the building: an infinity swimming pool looking out over the Nairobi skyline, a padel court (a rare feature in a Nairobi residential development), and a restaurant and café. At ground level, a hotel-style reception lobby, a fully equipped gym and an on-site convenience store round out a building designed to make day-to-day living easy. It is the kind of mixed-use, amenity-led address that suits people who want their home, their downtime and their conveniences in one place — and who value being able to walk to much of what Westlands offers.
Unit Types and Prices
Aether Residences offers a range of layouts, from entry-level studios to larger two-bedroom homes, several with a DSQ.
| Unit Type | Size | Price From |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | 43–50 sqm (463–538 sqft) | KES 5.5M |
| 1 Bedroom | 57–60 sqm (614–646 sqft) | KES 6.5M |
| 2 Bedroom (Types A–C, some with DSQ) | approx. 82–120 sqm (883–1,292 sqft) | KES 10.6M |
Studios (43–50 sqm) are the entry point — compact, efficient homes that suit young professionals who want to live centrally in Westlands, or buyers looking for the most accessible way into the building.
One-bedroom apartments (57–60 sqm) offer a comfortable balance of space and value, well suited to single professionals, couples, or anyone who wants a proper separate bedroom in a central location.
Two-bedroom apartments (approx. 82–120 sqm) are the most generous layouts, available in several types and some with a DSQ — a sensible fit for small families, sharers, or those who want a guest or staff room.
Prices shown are starting prices and vary by type, size, floor and orientation. The exact size, price and DSQ details for each layout are best confirmed against the current floor plans and price list — ask us and we will share the latest. USD equivalents can be provided at the prevailing exchange rate on request.
Amenities
Aether Residences is positioned at the upper end of Westlands apartment developments, with a notably strong amenity offering:
- 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 convenience retail store
- Full backup generator for uninterrupted power
- 24/7 security
Location Advantage
Westlands is, by most measures, Nairobi’s prime commercial and diplomatic district — home to a dense concentration of corporate headquarters, international organisations, hotels, malls and restaurants, and known for its security and infrastructure standards. That is the foundation of the area’s enduring residential appeal: a great many people want to live close to where they work and socialise, and Westlands is where a large share of that activity happens.
From Lantana Road, residents are well connected across the city:
- Nairobi CBD — about 10 minutes via Waiyaki Way or the Nairobi Expressway
- Sarit Centre and Westgate Mall — within easy reach
- Global Trade Centre (GTC), home to major multinationals and international hotels — nearby
- Aga Khan University Hospital and MP Shah Hospital — close by
- Gigiri and the UN and embassy district — a comfortable commute
- Nairobi Expressway — a fast link to JKIA, Upper Hill and Mombasa Road
(Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic.)
Payment Plan
Aether Residences offers a structured off-plan payment plan: a 20% deposit reserves your unit, with the balance payable in instalments through to completion in June 2028. Spreading payments across the construction period makes ownership more manageable than paying in full upfront, and it suits both local and diaspora buyers.
Payment terms can be tailored and may be updated by the developer, so we will confirm the current schedule for you before you commit. Ask us for the latest payment plan, price list and reservation terms.
Why It Works for Homeowners
For anyone whose working life centres on Westlands, the case is mostly about time and quality of life. Living on Lantana Road means a short hop to the office, the gym downstairs, a swim on the roof at the end of the day, and dinner within the building or a walk away — with security and backup power handled for you. For single professionals and couples especially, it is an easy, lock-up-and-go way to live in the middle of the city.
The honest caveat is the timeline: this is an off-plan home with a June 2028 completion, so it suits a buyer planning ahead rather than one who needs to move in now. If your timing aligns, it is a chance to secure a well-located home — and your preferred unit — at today’s pricing.
Why It Works for Investors
Westlands has long been one of Nairobi’s most established rental neighbourhoods, with consistent demand from corporate professionals, expatriates and staff of the international organisations based in and around the area. Aether’s range of unit sizes lets you target different tenant profiles, from a compact studio to a family-sized two-bedroom, and the building’s amenities and central position are the kind of features tenants in this market look for.
A few things we would put plainly rather than dress up: 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, because no one can responsibly promise them — but we are very happy to prepare a current, grounded rental appraisal for the unit type you are considering, and to 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 whole process can be handled remotely. If you are a Kenyan living abroad or a foreign buyer, a valid passport or Alien ID is enough to get started — you do not need to be in the country to begin. Block handles the KRA PIN registration and walks you through the paperwork from start to finish. Budget for stamp duty of 4% of the purchase price, payable on transfer, alongside the usual legal costs, and we will talk through the full cost picture before you commit.
Finishes and Specifications
Aether Residences is designed with a hotel-style sensibility and modern finishes throughout, in keeping with its position at the upper tier of Westlands developments. As this is an off-plan development, the detailed finishes and specification schedule — kitchen fittings, flooring, fixtures and the precise inclusions for each unit type — is best reviewed directly. Ask us for the latest brochure, specification sheet and floor plans, and we will share them so you know exactly what is being delivered.
