Orchid Residency Westlands: Luxury Apartments for Sale and Rent in Nairobi’s Prime Address
Orchid Residency is a prestigious high-end apartment development in Westlands, Nairobi — one, two, and three-bedroom apartments with breathtaking 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 — completing July 2025.
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 — 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. When the market clears three of five configurations before completion, the remaining units are not leftovers — they are the last opportunity.

Orchid Residency Apartments for Sale — Available Units
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.
Investment case: At KES 6M with rental income of KES 75,000–80,000/month, the 1-bedroom delivers:
- Annual income: KES 900,000–960,000
- Gross yield: 15–16%
A 15–16% gross yield in Westlands is exceptional — driven by the combination of a competitive purchase price and a rental rate supported by the development’s specification, views, and amenity package. The 1-bedroom 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 — because the DSQ adds KES 3M to the price, which filters for the buyer who understands that the DSQ adds KES 10,000–20,000/month in rental income, accommodates live-in staff that a 2-bedroom household requires, and provides the flexibility that a conventional 2-bedroom cannot.
Investment case: At KES 13.5M with rental income of KES 120,000/month:
- Annual income: KES 1,440,000
- Gross yield: 10.7%

Why Orchid Residency — Apartments for Sale and Rent in Westlands, Nairobi
Triple-aspect views that no other Westlands development delivers at this price. The Westlands skyline. The Nairobi sunset. Karura Forest. Three views from a single development — and the Karura Forest view is permanent, protected by the forest’s status as a national reserve.
The amenity package punches above the price point. A rooftop BBQ and recreation area. A landscaped Zen garden. A swimming pool. A fully equipped gym. A children’s play area. Most developments at KES 6M–13.5M offer a pool and a gym. Orchid Residency adds the rooftop BBQ and the Zen garden — the lifestyle infrastructure that justifies the rent premium and that tenants factor into their decision.
Three of five unit types sold out before completion. The market has already validated the product, the price, and the location. The 2-bedroom (105 sqm) sold out. The 3-bedroom (115 sqm) sold out. The 3-bedroom + DSQ (130 sqm) sold out. The 1-bedroom and the 2-bedroom + DSQ remain — the entry point and the DSQ premium, respectively.
Direct Nairobi Expressway access. The location delivers what most Westlands developments claim but few actually provide — immediate connectivity to the expressway, cutting travel times across Nairobi and providing the mobility advantage that corporate tenants and busy households demand.
Yields of 10–16% gross. The 1-bedroom at KES 6M delivers 15–16% gross yield. The 2-bedroom + DSQ at KES 13.5M delivers 10.7%. Both figures are significantly above the Westlands average of 8.5% — driven by the combination of competitive purchase prices and rental rates supported by the views, the amenity package, and the location.
