Why It Works for Homeowners
- A truly bespoke home — a 613 sqm penthouse you can customise and shape to your own specification.
- Rarity — one of only two penthouses in the entire development.
- Move-in ready — delivered fully furnished and smart-automated.
- Unmatched outlook — 360-degree views from Karura Forest across the city, from the top of the building.
- A prime, leafy address — Upper General Mathenge, close to Sarit, Westgate, top schools and major hospitals, with 24/7 security and concierge.
Why It Works for Investors
Block does not make rental or return projections. Instead, we point buyers to the fundamentals worth weighing on their own merits:
- A blue-chip, central address. Upper General Mathenge is one of Nairobi’s most prestigious and consistently sought-after residential locations.
- Exceptional scarcity. With only two penthouses in the development, this is among the most limited products of its kind in the area.
- A distinctive, customisable home. A fully furnished, smart-automated, customisable 613 sqm penthouse is a rare and difficult-to-replicate offering.
- A rare outlook. Unbroken 360-degree views spanning Karura Forest to the city skyline.
- Established infrastructure. Sarit, Westgate, top schools, Aga Khan Hospital, Waiyaki Way and the Expressway are all close by.
We are glad to talk through these fundamentals openly and help you decide whether the penthouse fits your plans — without overpromising on performance.
Finishes and Specifications
Each penthouse is delivered fully furnished and smart-automated, with a customisable layout and high-end finishes throughout — in keeping with the development’s Italian cabinetry, Egyptian tiling, fully fitted kitchens and premium detailing. Specific fittings, furnishings and any bespoke additions are best confirmed against the developer’s specification and on a showhouse visit.
