Gemini Residency is a contemporary apartment development taking shape in Brookside, one of the quieter, leafier corners of Westlands. It brings together a considered range of one- and two-bedroom homes with an unusually deep set of shared amenities — two swimming pools among them — on a prestigious, well-connected street a short hop from Sarit Centre and Westgate.

It’s a building designed to work for the way people live in this part of Nairobi: close to offices, shopping and the expressway, yet set back on a calm residential lane. Whether you’re buying a first home, a comfortable family apartment, or a well-located addition to a property portfolio, there’s a layout here worth a closer look, and we’re glad to walk you through it.

A Development Designed for Modern City Living

Brookside is one of those pockets of Westlands that manages to feel both central and calm. You’re minutes from the district’s malls, restaurants and offices, and close to Gigiri and the diplomatic zone, yet the immediate streets are green and residential. Gemini Residency is built around that balance.

The apartments are open-plan, with living, dining and kitchen space flowing together, a breakfast island in the kitchen, and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in natural light and open up the skyline. One-bedroom homes suit professionals and couples who want a stylish, low-maintenance city base; the two-bedroom layouts — including a master en-suite option — give small families and remote workers the extra room to spread out. Above it all sits a rooftop of pools, lounge and terraces that turns the building itself into somewhere you’d want to spend time.

Unit Types and Prices

Gemini Residency offers one- and two-bedroom apartments across several layouts. The entry price for the development is KES 8,300,000, on the 58 sqm one-bedroom.

Unit type	Size	Guide price from
1-Bedroom	58 sqm (624 sqft)	KES 8.3M
1-Bedroom	65 sqm (700 sqft)	KES 9.5M
2-Bedroom	90 sqm (969 sqft)	KES 13M
2-Bedroom (Master En-Suite)	100 sqm (1,076 sqft)	KES 14M

Guide prices are entry-level “from” figures and vary by phase, floor level and aspect. Additional layouts have been offered in earlier presale phases, including a smaller 56 sqm one-bedroom (from around KES 7.5M) and larger 107 sqm and 119 sqm two-bedrooms (from around KES 14.9M and KES 16.6M in presale); whether any of these remain available should be confirmed at the point of enquiry. Phase pricing has also varied on individual layouts, so the table above should be read as the current guide and the latest price list requested for exact, unit-by-unit figures and any active early-bird offer. Bathroom configuration is to be confirmed at point of enquiry; the two-bedroom master layout is understood to include an en-suite.

Location Advantage

Gemini Residency sits on the Brookside Grove / Matundu Lane side of Westlands — quiet and green, but with the whole district on your doorstep. Approximate distances:

• Sarit Centre: about 5 minutes
• Westgate Mall: about 6 minutes
• Nairobi CBD: about 12 minutes
• Gigiri and the UN offices: about 15 minutes
• Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway: quick access, with a straightforward run to JKIA
• Karura Forest: close by for weekend walks and recreation
• Well-regarded schools, hospitals, cafés and restaurants: all within easy reach

It’s a genuinely convenient base — work, shopping and the expressway are all close — while the leafy Brookside streets keep the everyday calm. (Travel times are approximate and vary with traffic.)

Payment Plan

Gemini Residency is offered off-plan with a staged structure:

• 30% deposit to reserve your unit and secure your preferred floor and type
• 50% payable across the construction period
• 20% on completion, at handover

Completion is expected in December 2027. The full schedule — including milestone dates and any bank financing options — can be confirmed at point of enquiry, and we’re happy to talk it through against your own timeline.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A central address that still feels residential. Brookside gives you the convenience of Westlands with the calm of a leafy, established street.
• A range of layouts. From an efficient one-bedroom to a two-bedroom master en-suite, there’s a home here for a single professional, a couple or a small family.
• An amenity offering you’ll actually use. Two pools, a gym and yoga studio, a home theatre, co-working space and rooftop lounge mean much of your week can happen inside the building.
• Peace of mind. Backup power and water, 24/7 security and CCTV, and a concierge lobby are built in.

Why It Works for Investors

Westlands, and Brookside in particular, is one of Nairobi’s most consistently in-demand residential areas, and the fundamentals behind that are the real story here rather than any headline figure.

• A deep, varied tenant pool. Proximity to the CBD, the corporate offices of Westlands, and the Gigiri diplomatic and UN zone supports steady demand from professionals, expatriates and diplomatic staff.
• A range of sizes for different tenants. One- and two-bedroom layouts let you match a unit to the segment you want to serve, from single professionals to small families.
• Amenities that help a unit stand out. In a competitive letting market, a building with this depth of facilities can be easier to let and to hold a tenant in.
• A prestigious, walkable location. Being close to Sarit, Westgate and Karura is exactly what tenants weigh up when choosing where to live.

We don’t publish projected yields, rental figures or return estimates — those depend on the specific unit, finish, furnishing and the market at the time. What we can do is share current comparable rents for the immediate area and a grounded view of demand, so you can build your own numbers on real inputs. Ask us for that at the point of enquiry.

Finishes and Specifications

Each apartment is finished to a consistent, contemporary standard:

• Open-plan living and dining space
• Fitted kitchens with a breakfast island and elegant cabinetry
• Marble-effect finishes and premium flooring and wall textures
• Ambient, designer lighting
• Floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline views
• Dedicated laundry space
• En-suite bedroom in the two-bedroom master layout

Final specifications and finishes may vary by unit and layout, and are to be confirmed at point of enquiry. Request the latest brochure and floor plans for full detail.

Who This Development Suits Best

• Young professionals and couples wanting a stylish, low-maintenance home in a central but calm part of Westlands.
• Small families and remote workers who need the extra space of a two-bedroom layout, ideally with a home office.
• Diaspora buyers looking for a secure, amenity-rich Nairobi base that’s easy to lock up and leave.
• Investors seeking a well-located apartment, with a choice of sizes, in an established letting neighbourhood.

A Note for Diaspora Buyers

Buying from abroad is more straightforward than many people expect. A valid passport or Alien ID is sufficient to purchase — you do not need to travel to complete. Block can arrange your KRA PIN and handle the paperwork on your behalf, and we’ll guide you through each stage. As a guide, stamp duty on property in this bracket is charged at 4% of the purchase value. We’re happy to talk through the full process before you commit.
