Some addresses in Nairobi ask you to choose between a green outlook and a central location. This one doesn’t. Set in a landmark twin-tower development on Ring Road at the Eldama Ravine Roundabout — on the quiet border between Parklands and Westlands — these apartments look out over the tranquil canopy of Karura Forest, while sitting a short walk from Oshwal Centre and a few minutes from Sarit Centre, Westgate and two of the city’s leading hospitals.
The development spans a full range of homes, from efficient one-bedroom apartments through to substantial family residences and a five-bedroom duplex. Whether you are a professional buying your first place, a family in need of real space, a diaspora buyer looking for a Nairobi base, or an investor weighing a well-located asset, there is a layout here designed with you in mind. With only three units per floor across the two towers, the everyday experience is one of genuine privacy rather than a crowded corridor.

A Development Designed for Modern Urban Living
This is a building designed to work as a small, self-contained community. Commercial shops, a café and a supermarket sit within the development itself, so much of daily life happens without leaving home. Above them, the residential floors are kept deliberately low-density — three units per floor — which gives every home a sense of space that carries beyond the front door.
The homes themselves are built around how people actually live. Across the range you’ll find spacious lounges, contemporary kitchens designed as proper working spaces, and comfortable en-suite master bedrooms. The larger family units add separate dining areas and a DSQ (domestic staff quarters), while the five-bedroom duplex is arranged over two levels for households that want the feel of a house with the convenience of an apartment.
And then there is the forest. Waking up to green rather than concrete, in a part of Westlands this well connected, is a quality-of-life difference that is genuinely hard to replicate elsewhere in the city.
Unit Types and Prices
Every home in the development shares the same core specification — modern finishes, a spacious lounge, a contemporary kitchen and an en-suite master — with the larger units adding a separate dining area and a DSQ. The combined range is below.
| Type | Size | Price (KES) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom | 82 sqm (883 sqft) | from 6.97M (6,970,000) |
| 2 Bedroom | 120–160 sqm (1,292–1,722 sqft) | from 10.19M (10,190,000) |
| 3 Bedroom | 200 sqm (2,153 sqft) | 17.03M (17,030,000) |
| 4 Bedroom | 230 sqm (2,476 sqft) | 19.61M (19,608,000) |
| 4 Bedroom | 250 sqm (2,691 sqft) | 21.26M (21,258,000) |
| 5 Bedroom Duplex | 335 sqm (3,606 sqft) | 28.51M (28,510,000) |
A short guide to who each layout tends to suit:
- 1 Bedroom (82 sqm): Well-suited to professionals and first-time buyers, or as a compact, well-located home in an established rental area.
- 2 Bedroom (120–160 sqm): A flexible choice for couples and small families, with a range of sizes to match your space and budget.
- 3 Bedroom (200 sqm): A comfortable family home with room to grow, in a secure, amenity-rich building.
- 4 Bedroom (230 & 250 sqm): Substantial family residences with a separate dining area, en-suite master and a DSQ — the space of a house with the ease of an apartment.
- 5 Bedroom Duplex (335 sqm): The largest home in the development, arranged over two levels for households that want maximum space and privacy.
Floor plans, the current price list, unit-by-unit availability and the specific configuration of each layout (including bathroom counts and DSQ inclusion) are shared on request — please ask us for the latest at point of enquiry.
Amenities
The development is designed for convenience and lifestyle in equal measure:
- Commercial shops and offices on site
- Café and supermarket
- Multi-floor parking, plus ample visitor parking
- High-speed lifts (number to be confirmed at point of enquiry)
- Gym and steam room
- Rooftop running track
- Swimming pool
- Community hall
- Children’s playground
- Power backup generator
- CCTV and security intercom
Having a supermarket, café and shops within the building is the kind of detail that quietly improves daily life — particularly for families, busy professionals and anyone who values not having to drive out for the small things.
Location Advantage
This stretch of Ring Road sits on the border of Parklands and Westlands, one of Nairobi’s most established and well-connected neighbourhoods. It is a genuinely walkable, well-serviced part of the city, and the forest outlook gives it a calm that is rare this close to the commercial centre.
- Everyday shopping and leisure: A short walk to Oshwal Centre and The Oval; a five-minute drive to Sarit Centre and Westgate Mall
- Healthcare: Close to Aga Khan University Hospital and MP Shah Hospital
- International institutions: Minutes from the US Embassy and the UN headquarters
- Green space: Direct views over Karura Forest, with the forest itself nearby for walking, cycling and weekends outdoors
This is a mature, diverse area that has long drawn diplomats, expatriates, medical professionals and senior corporate tenants and residents. That established profile is one of the reasons the location holds its appeal for both those who want to live here and those buying with the longer term in mind.
Payment Plan
The development offers up to three years of payment flexibility:
- 30% deposit to secure your unit
- Balance spread across the remaining period
You are also welcome to propose your own payment plan. If it is approved, you secure the unit immediately — a practical option for buyers whose cash flow doesn’t fit a standard schedule.
Exact instalment structures, dates and any applicable terms are confirmed in your offer and sale agreement. Ask us for the current payment schedule at point of enquiry.
Why It Works for Homeowners
The appeal is straightforward: secure, amenity-rich homes in a neighbourhood that already has the schools, hospitals, shopping and social life you need close at hand. The range of sizes means the building suits you at different life stages — from a first one-bedroom to a family four-bedroom or the duplex — and the low density (three units per floor) means privacy without isolation.
The forest outlook is the part that is hard to replicate. For buyers who want a settled, long-term Nairobi home rather than a stepping stone, waking up to green in a part of Westlands this well connected is a quality-of-life difference that tends to matter more the longer you live somewhere.
Why It Works for Investors
We keep our investor guidance honest: we don’t publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell — and no one can guarantee them. What we can point to is the underlying fundamentals of the asset.
The location sits in an established, high-demand corridor with a deep and varied tenant base — diplomatic, medical, corporate and expatriate. Forest-edge sites along this part of Ring Road are limited, which supports the long-term distinctiveness of a well-built home here. The spread of unit types also gives you options: smaller units suit a different tenant profile and entry point than the larger family homes, so you can match your purchase to your strategy.
For your own due diligence, we’re happy to help you review recent comparable sales and rentals in the area and connect you with independent advisers. We’d always encourage you to run your own numbers before committing.
