The amenity ecosystem is where Gaia Brookside Forest establishes a new standard for Westlands residential developments: an infinity pool, jacuzzis, a spa, a fully equipped gym, a beauty parlour, a health bar, a business centre, a residence lounge, an in-house cinema, a jogging track, lush gardens and courtyard, a kids’ daycare, basketball courts, and padel courts. Smart access solutions and an arrival concierge add the technology and hospitality layers that transform a residential building into a managed estate.

Gaia Brookside Forest Unit Types
3-Bedroom + DSQ — 192–219 sqm, from KES 20,200,000
Three layout options across 192, 210, and 219 sqm — each with master ensuite bedrooms, DSQ, and the proportions that make a 3-bedroom feel like a house. At 192–219 sqm, Gaia Brookside Forest’s 3-bedrooms are 60–130% larger than the typical Westlands 3-bedroom (95–120 sqm). Every room works — the living area hosts ten, the master suite is a proper retreat, and the DSQ provides household staff accommodation. At KES 105,000–114,000 per sqm, the per-square-metre cost undercuts smaller apartments in the same neighbourhood.
4-Bedroom + DSQ — 275 sqm, from KES 29,000,000
The apartment that replaces a house. At 275 sqm, the 4-bedroom delivers house-scale living inside a secured, amenity-rich building. Four bedrooms that are rooms — not partitioned alcoves. A DSQ for household staff. A living area that hosts twelve. The amenity floor — infinity pool, jacuzzis, spa, cinema, padel courts, concierge — delivers what no standalone 4-bedroom house in Westlands can match at this price. A comparable 4-bedroom villa on its own plot in Westlands would cost KES 100M or more once land and construction are combined. Gaia Brookside Forest delivers the same living space from KES 29M.
5-Bedroom + DSQ — 365–387 sqm, from KES 35,600,000
The flagship. Penthouse-scale living — 365 to 387 sqm — that most Nairobi houses cannot match. Two layouts available. The 5-bedroom buyer gets the space of a Runda or Karen villa with the services of a five-star hotel: a concierge, a spa, a cinema, jacuzzis, padel courts, and a daycare. At KES 97,000–114,000 per sqm, the 5-bedroom delivers the lowest per-square-metre cost in the building — the buyer who goes largest pays the least per square metre.
Gaia Brookside Forest Amenities
- Infinity pool — the elevated leisure centrepiece, set within the Brookside Gardens landscape.
- Jacuzzis — hydrotherapy amenities that most residential developments in Westlands do not offer.
- Spa — full wellness facilities within the building: massage, treatments and relaxation without leaving the compound.
- Fully equipped gym — the fitness facility that completes the wellness ecosystem alongside the pool, jacuzzis and spa.
- Beauty parlour — lifestyle convenience within the development.
- Health bar — juices, smoothies and healthy options steps from the gym and spa.
- Business centre — meeting rooms and focused work environments within the compound.
- Residence lounge — the social common area that builds community within the building.
- In-house cinema — movie nights, private screenings and family entertainment on site.
- Jogging track — the morning run within the compound, through landscaped grounds, without traffic.
- Lush gardens and courtyard — outdoor living that extends Brookside’s green character into the compound.
- Kids’ daycare — in-compound childcare for families with young children.
- Basketball court — active recreation within the compound for residents of all ages.
- Padel courts — the fastest-growing sport in Nairobi’s premium residential market, delivered as a building amenity.
- Smart access solutions — advanced technology for secure, seamless entry into the building and individual units.
- Arrival concierge — personalised hospitality service from the moment the resident arrives.
Why Invest in Gaia Brookside Forest
- Excavation-stage pricing. The development is in the excavation phase and the May 2026 prices reflected early-buyer discounts of up to 20% off original pricing. As construction progresses and the building takes form, prices increase — the current schedule is higher, so request it before comparing.
- An amenity package unmatched in Westlands. Infinity pool, jacuzzis, spa, cinema, padel courts, basketball court, beauty parlour, health bar, business centre, daycare and concierge — a combined ecosystem that belongs to a five-star hospitality property.
- Brookside Gardens Drive borders Karura Forest. The address delivers mature trees, low density, clean air and tranquillity, with Sarit Centre, Westgate and the Nairobi Expressway minutes away. Forest proximity is permanent infrastructure that cannot be replicated.
- Villa-scale living at apartment prices. At 192–387 sqm, every unit delivers the square metres of a standalone house. A comparable villa on private land in Westlands, Runda or Karen would cost KES 100M–180M — without amenities the building provides and with maintenance the villa owner manages alone.
- DSQ in every unit. Domestic staff quarters are standard across all 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom configurations.
