Emaar Residence

Development at a Glance

About Emaar Residence

Most apartments advertised in Westlands are off-plan: you buy a floor plan, a render and a handover date. Emaar Residence is not that. The building is finished, the common areas are in use and the apartments are occupied, which means you can walk the corridors, stand in the actual living room, run the taps and look out of the actual window before you commit a shilling. For a buyer, that removes the two risks that matter most in Nairobi’s apartment market — delivery and finish quality — because both are already visible.

The unusual part is that a completed building is being offered on a payment plan normally reserved for off-plan stock: up to four years, interest-free. Off-plan instalment plans ask you to pay while you wait. This one lets you pay while you live in, or let, a home that already exists.

No developer is named on the information held for this listing. Block Real Estate can put the developer and management details in writing on request. The building’s name is its own; we make no claim about who built it beyond what the seller can evidence.

The Two Remaining Layouts

Two 3-bedroom apartments remained available when this listing was last verified on 24 August 2026; confirm current availability with us before you plan around a specific unit. The larger layouts previously offered in the building — a 3-bedroom with DSQ, a 4-bedroom and a 4-bedroom duplex — were recorded as sold on the schedule held for this listing.

Both layouts are arranged the same way: two bedrooms en-suite, a third bedroom served by a guest bathroom that also serves visitors, an open-plan living and dining space, a fitted kitchen with granite worktops, a utility area and two dedicated parking bays. The 220 sqm layout adds 20 sqm across the living areas and bedrooms for KES 800,000 more than the 200 sqm layout.

Specification and Amenities

The following are the finishes and shared facilities recorded for Emaar Residence. Because the building is complete, every one of them can be inspected on a viewing rather than taken on trust from a brochure.

• Fitted kitchens with granite worktops
• Ceramic floor and wall tiling
• Fitted laminated wardrobes to the bedrooms
• Shower cubicles with toughened glass
• Separate utility area in each apartment
• Swimming pool
• Gymnasium
• Clubhouse
• Children’s play area
• Two passenger and service lifts
• Two dedicated parking bays per apartment, plus visitor parking
• CCTV to the common areas
• On-site maintenance cover
• Backup generator
• Borehole water supply
• Satellite and cable television provision

Service charge, the exact scope of the maintenance cover and the parking bay allocated to a given apartment are set by the building’s management. Ask us for those in writing before you make an offer.

The Payment Plan in Precise Terms

The plan offered on the remaining apartments is up to four years, interest-free — 48 monthly instalments with no financing charge added to the purchase price. On the 200 sqm apartment at KES 22,200,000, spread evenly over the full 48 months, that is approximately KES 462,500 a month, and the total paid remains KES 22,200,000. On the 220 sqm apartment at KES 23,000,000 the same 48-month spread is approximately KES 479,167 a month.

Two things are worth pinning down in writing before you sign, because they vary between sellers and are not stated on this listing: the deposit required on reservation, and the point at which title transfers and you are able to take occupation or let the apartment. Ask us to obtain the schedule and the draft sale agreement so your advocate can review both.

Location and Connectivity

Emaar Residence sits in the General Mathenge area of Westlands, a low-traffic residential pocket immediately north of the Westlands commercial core. The following are straight-line distances measured from the coordinates recorded for this building (-1.25422, 36.79531). Road distances are longer, and driving times vary with traffic, so we do not publish them.

• Westgate Mall — approximately 1 km
• Sarit Centre — approximately 1.3 km
• Karura Forest, nearest boundary — approximately 2 km to the north-east
• Nairobi CBD — approximately 5 km

On Karura Forest, we want to be precise rather than flattering. The building is near the forest but it is not on its edge: the recorded coordinates place it roughly 2 km west of the nearest boundary, which makes Karura a short drive, not a walk from the front door. Forest and skyline outlooks are attributed to the upper floors, and what any particular apartment actually sees depends on its floor and which way it faces. Ask which floor and aspect the unit you are considering has, and confirm the view on the viewing rather than from the listing.

Schools, hospitals and shopping in Parklands and Westlands are all within the immediate area. We are happy to check the distance and route from the building to any specific school, office or hospital that matters to you.

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 Emaar Residence is a completed and occupied building in the General Mathenge area of Westlands; that the remaining 3-bedroom apartments are 200 sqm and 220 sqm, priced at KES 22,200,000 and KES 23,000,000; that each comes with two dedicated parking bays and a share of a pool, gym and clubhouse; and that the purchase price can be spread interest-free over up to 48 months. 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.
