A note on the one-bedroom plans: the developer’s current brochure details the two-bedroom layouts only. One-bedroom homes are on sale from KES 10,000,000, and we confirm the current one-bedroom floor plans, sizes and availability for you at the point of enquiry.

The one-bedroom homes at Gemini Residency are a stylish, low-maintenance option in one of the calmer, greener corners of Westlands. Set on the Brookside Grove / Matundu Lane side of the district, about a kilometre from Sarit Centre, they pair an efficient, open-plan home with an unusually deep set of shared amenities, two swimming pools and a rooftop padel court among them.

It’s a natural fit for a busy professional or a couple who want a central city base without the upkeep of a larger home, and an equally natural one to let. Below is everything you need on the one-bedroom apartments; we’re glad to talk any of it through.

A Home Designed for Modern City Living

A well-planned one-bedroom apartment does a great deal of work in Westlands. The homes are open-plan, with living, dining and kitchen space flowing together, and share the building’s specification: Bosch kitchen appliances, Kohler fittings, marble-effect porcelain tiles and gypsum ceilings with concealed lighting.

It’s comfortable to live in, straightforward to run and easy to secure. With two pools, a gym, a cinema, a sky lounge and co-working space in the building, plus a convenience store, café and pharmacy at Gemini Square downstairs, much of your week can happen without leaving home. For a tenant weighing up options in the area, that depth of amenity tends to stand out.

Amenities

As a resident you have access to the full development’s shared facilities, more than 20 in all:

• Two swimming pools: a heated rooftop infinity pool, and a pool in the 1,000 sqm landscaped fourth-floor courtyard
• Padel court on the 30th-floor rooftop
• Sky lounge and adult games room, a BBQ terrace and a sunken fire pit
• Fully equipped gym and yoga studio, plus separate male and female saunas
• Private residents’ cinema
• Co-working space with a private boardroom
• Children’s play area
• Gemini Square: convenience store, restaurant and café, 24-hour pharmacy, dry cleaners and Serenity Spa
• Reception and residents’ lounge with concierge-style service, three lifts and ground-floor parking
• Full backup generator, borehole water supply, and 24/7 security with CCTV and intercom access

Some facilities are subject to final specification and can be confirmed at point of enquiry.

Location Advantage

Gemini Residency sits on the Brookside Grove / Matundu Lane side of Westlands, quiet and green, with the whole district close at hand. Distances from the developer’s location map:

• Sarit Centre: 1.1 km
• Westgate Mall: 1.8 km
• Aga Khan Hospital: 4.4 km
• Nairobi CBD: 5.7 km
• Karura Forest: 7 km
• Gigiri and the UN offices: 9 km and 9.2 km
• Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway: quick access, with a straightforward run to JKIA

Work, shopping and the expressway are all close, while the leafy Brookside streets keep the everyday calm. (Distances are approximate; drive times vary with traffic.)

Payment Plan

Offered off-plan: 20% to reserve your unit, then the remaining 80% in instalments every three months up to completion. On a KES 10,000,000 one-bedroom, that’s KES 2,000,000 down and KES 8,000,000 spread across the quarterly instalments. Phase 1 is scheduled for December 2027 and Phase 2 for March 2029; the full schedule, which phase your unit sits in and any bank financing options are confirmed at point of enquiry.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A central address that still feels residential — the convenience of Westlands with the calm of a leafy Brookside street.
• Right-sized, low-maintenance living — easy to run and secure, ideal for professionals or as a city base for owners who split their time.
• Amenities you’ll actually use, from two pools and a gym to a sky lounge, cinema and co-working space.
• Errands downstairs. Gemini Square puts a convenience store, café, 24-hour pharmacy, dry cleaner and spa at the foot of the building.
• Peace of mind, with backup power and water, 24/7 security and a staffed reception.

Why It Works for Investors

Brookside and Westlands are among Nairobi’s most consistently in-demand residential areas, and the fundamentals behind that are the real story rather than any headline number.

• A deep tenant pool drawn from the surrounding offices, the CBD, and the Gigiri diplomatic and UN zone — professionals, expatriates and diplomatic staff.
• An efficient, lettable unit — a compact one-bedroom with a full amenity offering is among the more straightforward to let and manage in this market.
• Amenities that help a unit stand out in a competitive letting market.
• Hands-off ownership. The developer offers optional full-service property management, and Block’s own property management team can also let and manage your unit.

We don’t publish projected yields or rental figures, as those depend on the specific unit, finish and market at the time. We can, however, share current comparable rents for one-bedrooms in the area and a grounded view of local demand so you can build your own numbers — just ask.

Finishes and Specifications

The developer’s specification for the building, as set out in its current brochure:

• White marble-effect porcelain tiles in the living areas and bathrooms
• Gypsum ceilings with concealed ambient lighting
• Fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances and Kohler fittings
• Kohler sanitary ware and smart toilets

The one-bedroom floor plans, and the exact finish schedule for them, are confirmed at point of enquiry. Ask for the latest brochure and plans for full detail.

Who These Homes Suit Best

• Young professionals and couples wanting a stylish, low-maintenance home in a central but calm part of Westlands.
• Diaspora buyers after a secure, amenity-rich Nairobi base that’s easy to lock up and leave.
• Investors seeking an efficient, well-located one-bedroom unit in an established letting neighbourhood.
• City commuters who value being minutes from work, shopping and the expressway.

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. 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.
