About Diamond Ivy
Diamond Ivy is a managed apartment building on Mandera Road, a quiet residential street in Kileleshwa, Nairobi. The building offers an unusually wide range of unit sizes for the neighbourhood, from a 125 sqm two-bedroom up to a 425 sqm five-bedroom duplex, with a domestic staff quarter (DSQ) included on every three, four and five bedroom layout.
Completion status — please read
This listing was originally written against a developer-indicated completion date of August 2025. That date has now passed. We have not been able to verify from our own records that handover actually took place, so we are not going to tell you the building is finished. What we can say is that the developer indicated August 2025, and that the current construction and handover status — including whether units are ready to occupy today — is confirmed at enquiry before you commit to anything. If that matters to your decision, and it should, ask us first and we will get it in writing from the seller.
The ProMax layouts
Diamond Ivy uses a naming convention that makes the range easy to read: each bedroom count is offered in a standard configuration and a larger ProMax configuration. Same number of bedrooms, more floor area — larger living space, larger bedrooms and wider circulation.

The Units
2 bedroom — 125 sqm and 144 sqm
The standard two-bedroom is 125 sqm, which is generous for the unit count. The layout allows a living room that seats six, a master bedroom sized for a king bed and a wardrobe wall, a second bedroom that works as a full room rather than a box room, and a kitchen with usable counter space and storage. The 144 sqm ProMax adds 19 sqm across the living area and bedrooms. Neither two-bedroom layout includes a DSQ. Full detail is on the 2 bedroom apartment at Diamond Ivy page.
3 bedroom + DSQ — 203 sqm and 225 sqm
At 203 sqm including DSQ, the standard three-bedroom is a large apartment by any Nairobi measure. Three properly scaled bedrooms, a combined living and dining area that seats a family and guests without rearranging furniture, and a DSQ that can serve as staff accommodation, a guest room or a separated home office. The 225 sqm ProMax adds 22 sqm.
4 bedroom + DSQ — 238 sqm and 260 sqm
Four bedrooms with DSQ at 238 sqm or 260 sqm, inside a managed building with a pool, gym and 24-hour security. These are family-sized homes in apartment form, suited to households that need the bedroom count and the staff quarter but do not want the grounds maintenance of a standalone house.
5 bedroom ProMax + DSQ duplex — 425 sqm
The largest unit in the building: 425 sqm arranged as a duplex across two levels, with five bedrooms and a DSQ. The duplex format separates living and entertaining on one level from sleeping on the other, connected by an internal staircase. At 425 sqm it has the floor area of a substantial house, within a managed building.

Location and Connectivity
Mandera Road runs through the residential part of Kileleshwa: tree-lined, low-traffic, and characterised by established compounds and family houses rather than main-junction commercial frontage. Mandera Road connects to the Kileleshwa and Westlands corridor, to Lavington via Gitanga Road, to Kilimani via Argwings Kodhek Road, and to the city centre by several route options.
Landmarks within the wider catchment include Westlands and Sarit Centre, Yaya Centre, Lavington Mall, Kasuku Centre and Valley Arcade for retail; Riara, Braeburn and Hillcrest among the schools; and MP Shah and Aga Khan among the hospitals.
We do not publish drive times for this address. No measured journey times have been published for Diamond Ivy, and travel times across this part of Nairobi vary so widely by hour and route that quoting a single figure would mislead you. We would rather name the landmarks and let you judge, or drive the route with you at the time of day you actually travel.
On the Investment Case
On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not 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 can be said plainly is that Diamond Ivy sits on Mandera Road in Kileleshwa, that the price list held on this listing runs from KES 14,000,000 for a 125 sqm two-bedroom to KES 40,000,000 for the 425 sqm five-bedroom duplex, that both one-bedroom configurations are recorded as sold out, that a DSQ is included with every three, four and five bedroom layout, and that the building is served by a pool, gym, backup generator and 24-hour manned security. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings and connect you with independent advisers.
If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and on applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy.
