GTC Office Tower is one of Nairobi’s most recognisable commercial landmarks, offering premium office space within the Global Trade Centre precinct in Westlands.
Designed for modern businesses, regional headquarters, professional firms and international organisations, the tower provides flexible workspace configurations ranging from individual office units to full floor plates. With its modern architectural language, high-speed vertical access, advanced façade design and strong Westlands positioning, GTC Office Tower is built for occupiers who want a polished, future-ready business address.
The available office spaces range from approximately 239 sqm to 1,600 sqm, with full floor plates of approximately 1,600 sqm. The offices are offered in flexible formats, including core and shell layouts for full tenant customisation, as well as fully fitted and furnished workspace options through available workspace providers.
For companies looking for visibility, accessibility, flexibility and a premium corporate environment in Nairobi, GTC Office Tower offers one of the city’s strongest commercial addresses.
A Development Designed for Modern Corporate Workspaces
GTC Office Tower has been designed around the needs of contemporary business occupiers.
The tower adopts a modern architectural approach, with a clean, glossy façade that emphasises height, simplicity and presence. Its commercial spaces are planned to support productivity, collaboration and brand positioning, making it suitable for organisations that need more than a functional office.
The core and shell delivery allows tenants to design their workspace around their own operational needs. This is especially useful for organisations with specific requirements around meeting rooms, executive offices, open-plan team areas, breakout zones, reception spaces, boardrooms, private offices and technology infrastructure.
For businesses that prefer a ready-to-use solution, fully fitted and furnished workspace options may also be available through workspace providers operating within the tower. Availability, pricing and fit-out details should be confirmed at point of enquiry.
Unit Types
GTC Office Tower offers flexible office configurations suited to different occupier requirements.

|---|---|
| Individual Office Units | Approx. 239 sqm to 1,600 sqm |
| Approx. Size in Sq. Ft. | Approx. 2,570 sq. ft. to 17,220 sq. ft. |
Individual units are suitable for companies looking for a substantial office presence without necessarily taking an entire floor. These spaces can support medium-sized firms, regional departments, professional service companies, consultancies, technology teams and administrative offices.

| Configuration | Approximate Size |
|---|---|
| Full Floor Plate | Approx. 1,600 sqm |
| Approx. Size in Sq. Ft. | Approx. 17,220 sq. ft., final lettable area to be confirmed |
Full floor plates are suited to larger occupiers who need scale, privacy and brand control. A full floor may work well for regional headquarters, multinational offices, financial institutions, large NGOs, technology companies, corporate shared service centres and firms with significant staff numbers.
Core and Shell Offices
Core and shell spaces offer the highest level of flexibility. This option allows tenants to create a custom office environment from the ground up, subject to building guidelines and approval.
