Brookside Drive Residences is a newly built residential development on Brookside Drive in Westlands — 2 and 3-bedroom all en-suite apartments across two blocks: Block A (36 units, 12 floors) and Block B (52 units, 13 floors), totalling 88 units. The 2-bedroom apartment is 120 sqm, priced at KES 19 million for sale or KES 140,000 per month for rent. Rooftop café and lounge, fully equipped gym, kids’ play area, high-speed lifts, borehole and Nairobi Water supply, backup generator for common areas, own transformer, ample parking, and 24/7 security. Located within the UN-approved zone in Westlands. Ready for immediate occupancy.
Brookside Drive is the street within Westlands that the expatriate community, the UN professional, and the diplomatic household know by name. The UN-approved zone designation is not a marketing label — it is the security and neighbourhood standard that international organisations require before approving residential accommodation for their staff. The tenant who rents within this zone is the tenant whose employer has vetted the address, approved the security, and authorised the housing allowance. For the investor, this means a tenant pool that is institutional, reliable, and willing to pay the premium that a Brookside Drive address commands.

At 120 sqm, this is not a compressed Westlands 2-bedroom. Both bedrooms are en-suite with built-in wardrobes — the master bedroom opens onto a private balcony. The living room is bright and proportional, with a dedicated dining area and a second balcony. The fully fitted open-plan kitchen is move-in ready — the tenant unpacks, not installs. A separate laundry area keeps the utility function out of the kitchen. A visitors’ cloakroom serves the social space. Large windows throughout ensure the apartment is filled with natural light.
The investment case. At KES 19 million with a rental rate of KES 140,000 per month, the 2-bedroom delivers a gross yield of 8.8%. In the UN-approved zone of Westlands, on Brookside Drive, with a rooftop café and gym — the tenant profile that pays this rate is the expatriate professional, the corporate executive, and the diplomatic household on a 12-month lease. The demand is institutional. The vacancy risk is low. The yield is earned, not projected.
The 3-Bedroom Apartment — Brookside Drive, Westlands
The 3-bedroom is the family format within the same development — all bedrooms en-suite with built-in wardrobes, a master bedroom with private balcony, fully fitted open-plan kitchen, spacious lounge with separate dining area, separate laundry area, visitors’ cloakroom, and multiple balconies. The same building amenities, the same Brookside Drive address, and the same UN-approved zone designation.

The Development — 88 Units Across 2 Blocks
Block A — 36 units across 12 floors. Block B — 52 units across 13 floors.
At 88 units total, the development is large enough to sustain the amenity set (rooftop café, gym, kids’ play area) but controlled enough to avoid the anonymity and congestion of a 200-unit tower. The two-block design distributes the residents across separate buildings with separate lifts and separate entrances — the density is managed, not concentrated.
Amenities
Rooftop café and lounge — the social amenity at the top of the building. The morning coffee, the evening drink, the weekend brunch — without leaving the development. The rooftop is the lifestyle layer that most Westlands developments promise in renders but deliver as an empty terrace. A dedicated café operates the space.
Fully equipped gym — the fitness routine within the building. No external membership. No morning commute to the gym.
Kids’ play area — the dedicated children’s space that makes the development viable for the family with young children.
High-speed lifts — efficient vertical movement across 12 and 13 floors.
Borehole and Nairobi Water supply — dual water sources. The borehole provides independence from municipal disruption. Nairobi Water provides the primary supply. The resident does not budget for water tankers.
Backup generator for common areas — lifts, lighting, security systems, and common-area power maintained during outages.
Own transformer — the development has its own power transformer. The electricity supply is not shared with neighbouring buildings or dependent on a communal substation.
Ample parking — dedicated parking for residents and visitors.
24/7 security — around-the-clock manned security for both blocks and the compound perimeter.
Location — Brookside Drive, Westlands
Brookside Drive sits within the residential core of Westlands — the UN-approved zone that international organisations, embassies, and corporate employers recognise as meeting the security and neighbourhood standards required for staff accommodation. The address provides:
Proximity to the Westlands commercial hub — offices, retail, restaurants, and the business infrastructure that drives the neighbourhood’s rental demand.
Access to international schools — the institutions that the expatriate and diplomatic family requires.
Security and residential character — Brookside Drive is a quiet, established road within a secure zone. The tenant who rents here does so because the employer has approved the specific address.
Connectivity — Westlands connects to the CBD, Gigiri, Parklands, and the Nairobi Expressway. The resident reaches every part of Nairobi without first leaving a premium neighbourhood.
