Orchid Residency Westlands: Completed Apartments for Sale and Rent
Orchid Residency is a high-end apartment development in Westlands, Nairobi — one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with views of the Westlands skyline, the Nairobi sunset, and Karura Forest. Direct access to the Nairobi Expressway. Walking distance to ABC Place, shopping malls, schools, and restaurants. Swimming pool, fully equipped gym, rooftop BBQ and recreation area, landscaped Zen garden, and 24/7 manned security. The development completed in July 2025 and is ready for occupation.
Orchid Residency occupies the intersection of lifestyle and investment that defines the best of Westlands. The views are triple-aspect — the Westlands skyline in one direction, the Nairobi sunset in another, and the green canopy of Karura Forest in the third. The amenity package includes a rooftop BBQ area and a landscaped Zen garden — the outdoor living spaces that most Westlands developments omit. The location delivers Nairobi Expressway access, ABC Place, and the commercial density of Westlands within minutes.
Three of the five unit types have sold out for purchase — the 2-bedroom (105 sqm), the 3-bedroom (115 sqm), and the 3-bedroom + DSQ (130 sqm). The 1-bedroom (55 sqm) from KES 6M and the 2-bedroom + DSQ (110 sqm) from KES 13.5M remain available to buy. The sold-out configurations are still represented in the rental listings below, because owners let them out.

Available to Buy at Orchid Residency
1-Bedroom Apartment — 55 sqm, from KES 6,000,000
The entry point into Orchid Residency. At 55 sqm, the 1-bedroom delivers a well-proportioned apartment with high-quality finishes and access to the full amenity suite — pool, gym, rooftop BBQ, Zen garden, and 24/7 security. The views from this development — Westlands skyline, Nairobi sunset, or Karura Forest depending on orientation — are available to every unit type, including the 1-bedroom.
At KES 6M with rental income of KES 75,000–80,000/month, the 1-bedroom would generate annual income of KES 900,000–960,000 — an estimated gross yield of 15–16% before service charge, management and void costs. It is the highest-yielding unit type in the development and the format most in demand from young professionals, expatriates, and corporate tenants working in the Westlands commercial corridor.
2-Bedroom + DSQ (Master Ensuite) — 110 sqm, from KES 13,500,000
The last available 2-bedroom configuration — with a master ensuite and a DSQ (domestic staff quarters). At 110 sqm, this is a generously proportioned 2-bedroom with the DSQ that adds a self-contained room for live-in staff, a home office, or a guest suite. The master ensuite provides the private bathroom that separates a premium 2-bedroom from a standard one.
The DSQ is the differentiator. The 2-bedroom without DSQ (105 sqm, KES 10.5M) sold out. The 2-bedroom with DSQ (110 sqm, KES 13.5M) remains — the DSQ adds KES 3M to the price, and on the development’s own rental figures it adds KES 10,000 per month to the achievable rent while accommodating live-in staff that a 2-bedroom household often requires.
At KES 13.5M with rental income of KES 120,000/month, annual income would be KES 1,440,000 — an estimated gross yield of 10.7% before costs.

Swimming pool, gym, rooftop BBQ, Zen garden, 24/7 security and CCTV, with views of the Westlands skyline, sunset, and Karura Forest.
The DSQ adds KES 10,000/month to the rent and adds an entire room to the household. For the tenant with live-in staff, the DSQ provides separate, self-contained accommodation that maintains both privacy and dignity.
3-Bedroom, 2 Ensuite to Rent — 115 sqm, KES 130,000/month
A 3-bedroom apartment with 2 ensuite bedrooms of 115 sqm. Two ensuite bedrooms create two private retreats — the master and the second bedroom each with their own bathroom. The third bedroom uses the family bathroom. Swimming pool, gym, rooftop BBQ and recreation area, landscaped Zen garden, children’s play area and 24/7 manned security, with views of the Westlands skyline, Nairobi sunset, and Karura Forest.
Two ensuite bedrooms for the parents and the teenager (or the grandparent, or the long-term guest). A children’s play area in the compound. Expressway access for the school run. ABC Place within walking distance. The Zen garden for the Sunday afternoon.
3-Bedroom + DSQ, 2 Ensuite to Rent — 130 sqm, KES 140,000/month
A 3-bedroom apartment with 2 ensuite bedrooms and DSQ of 130 sqm. The largest configuration and the format that accommodates a full family household with live-in staff.

Why Orchid Residency
- Triple-aspect views. The Westlands skyline, the Nairobi sunset and Karura Forest — three outlooks from a single development, and the Karura Forest view is protected by the forest’s status as a national reserve.
- An amenity package above the price point. A rooftop BBQ and recreation area and a landscaped Zen garden on top of the pool, gym and children’s play area — outdoor living infrastructure most developments at this price omit.
- Three of five unit types sold out before completion. The 2-bedroom (105 sqm), 3-bedroom (115 sqm) and 3-bedroom + DSQ (130 sqm) have all sold. The 1-bedroom and the 2-bedroom + DSQ remain.
- Direct Nairobi Expressway access. Immediate connectivity to the expressway, cutting travel times across Nairobi.
- Completed and ready. The building finished in July 2025, so you can view the actual apartment, move in, or let it immediately rather than waiting on construction.
