About SILVA Gigiri
SILVA is a signature residential development in the Blue Zone of Gigiri — Nairobi’s diplomatic and expatriate quarter — offering fully furnished studio, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments from KES 12,300,000 at early-bird launch pricing. Every unit is delivered furnished, with floor-to-ceiling windows, open-plan layouts, natural materials, warm tones and a private balcony.
SILVA is not a conventional apartment building. The design draws from organic curves and layered textures, creating interiors built around warmth, light and calm. The landscape is curated around a Four Seasons botanical concept — stone and water elements in winter, lush greenery in spring, open lawns in summer, warm textures and layered planting in autumn — a living environment that changes through the year.
The amenity set matches the design ambition: an infinity swimming pool, a spa with treatment rooms, a sauna and jacuzzi, a fully equipped gym, a yoga and meditation deck, co-working spaces, a coffee shop, a fine-dining restaurant, an outdoor terrace, The Nest (an elevated retreat pod), landscaped gardens and walking trails, a putting green and open green spaces. 24/7 CCTV, smart security, concierge and reception, and professional property management complete the offering.
SILVA Gigiri Price List — Early Bird Launch
SILVA’s apartments are offered across three named collections — Diplomatic District, Botanical Panorama and Signature Panorama — which determine orientation and outlook rather than specification. Every unit, in every collection, is delivered fully furnished.
| Unit type | Size | Price from |
|---|---|---|
| Studio — Diplomatic District | 34.92 sqm (376 sq ft) | KES 12,300,000 |
| Studio — Diplomatic District | 33.72 sqm (363 sq ft) | KES 12,700,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | 67.44 sqm (726 sq ft) | KES 18,500,000 – 18,800,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | 69.84 sqm (752 sq ft) | KES 18,600,000 – 19,302,000 |
| 1 Bedroom | 69.13 sqm (744 sq ft) | KES 19,300,000 |
| 2 Bedroom — Signature Panorama | 134.35 sqm (1,446 sq ft) | KES 29,900,000 |
| 2 Bedroom — Signature Panorama | 139.23 sqm (1,499 sq ft) | KES 30,000,000 |
Prices vary by floor level, orientation, unit size and premium positioning, and the figures above reflect early-bird launch pricing rather than a final schedule. The one-bedroom units span both the Diplomatic District and Botanical Panorama collections — please confirm the exact unit, collection and orientation against the current price list before you commit. Block Real Estate will send you the live schedule and remaining availability on request.
Unit Types at SILVA
Fully Furnished Studio — 33.72–34.92 sqm, from KES 12,300,000
The entry point into SILVA and into Gigiri. At 33.72 to 34.92 sqm the studio is compact by design and generous by specification: fully furnished, floor-to-ceiling windows, natural materials, warm tones, a private balcony — and the same infinity pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi, restaurant and co-working spaces the two-bedroom buyer accesses. The Diplomatic District Collection orients these studios toward Gigiri’s institutional quarter.
Worth noting on price: the smaller 33.72 sqm studio is listed above the larger 34.92 sqm unit, which reflects floor level and positioning rather than size. If budget is the binding constraint, ask for the 34.92 sqm layout specifically.
Fully Furnished 1 Bedroom — 67.44–69.84 sqm, from KES 18,500,000
The one-bedroom apartments run from 67.44 to 69.84 sqm and from KES 18,500,000 to KES 19,302,000, across the Botanical Panorama and Diplomatic District collections. The collection determines the view: Botanical Panorama faces SILVA’s curated landscape — the Four Seasons gardens, the walking trails, the green spaces. Diplomatic District faces the institutional quarter — the United Nations complex, the embassies, the infrastructure of international Gigiri. Garden-facing units carry the orientation premium.
At 67 to 70 sqm these are generously proportioned one-bedrooms — open-plan layouts with floor-to-ceiling windows, bedrooms finished in natural materials and warm tones, and private balconies that extend the apartment into the landscape. Delivered fully furnished, so there is no furnishing outlay after handover.
Fully Furnished 2 Bedroom — 134.35–139.23 sqm, from KES 29,900,000
The flagship. The Signature Panorama Collection is SILVA’s premium two-bedroom, at 134.35 to 139.23 sqm — substantially larger than a typical Nairobi two-bedroom of 65 to 80 sqm. The living area seats six to eight, both bedrooms are generous, the kitchen is a proper room, and the private balcony extends the living space into the landscape.
At KES 29.9M to 30M the Signature Panorama delivers the premium orientation, the panoramic outlook and the largest floor plans, with the full amenity set: infinity pool, spa with treatment rooms, sauna and jacuzzi, fine-dining restaurant, co-working spaces, The Nest and professional property management.
Design Philosophy — Architecture Inspired by Nature
Crafted stillness
SILVA is shaped by the belief that luxury lies in balance — between space and self, nature and structure, stillness and movement. Soft, organic curves and layered textures define the exterior and interior, a departure from the angular geometry of conventional apartment buildings.
Interiors are designed with warmth, light and calm tones. Natural materials — stone, wood, textured fabrics — create spaces that feel grounded, and floor-to-ceiling windows connect every room to the landscape outside. The colour palette is drawn from Gigiri’s own environment: earth tones, greens, and the warm equatorial light.
A landscape of the four seasons
- Winter — calm, contemplative stone and water elements; reflective pools and natural stone pathways.
- Spring — lush greenery and renewal; fresh planting and flowering elements.
- Summer — open lawns and light-filled spaces designed for outdoor living and gathering.
- Autumn — warm textures and layered planting; rich tones and visual depth.
Amenities at SILVA
Wellness and lifestyle
- Infinity swimming pool — set within the curated landscape
- Spa with treatment rooms — full wellness facilities inside the development
- Sauna and jacuzzi
- Fully equipped gym
- Yoga and meditation deck — a dedicated space, not a repurposed room
Social and work spaces
- Co-working spaces — in a neighbourhood where the UN, international NGOs and diplomatic missions generate a community that works flexibly, this is closer to infrastructure than amenity
- Coffee shop — the casual social anchor
- Fine-dining restaurant — within the compound, for hosting a client or simply choosing not to cook
- Outdoor terrace — Nairobi’s climate permits year-round outdoor living
Grounds and unique spaces
- The Nest — an elevated retreat pod within the landscape, designed for solitude, reflection or quiet conversation
- Landscaped gardens and walking trails — the Four Seasons planting woven into walking routes
- Putting green
- Open green spaces — across approximately 0.75 acres of curated landscape
Security and management
- 24/7 CCTV and controlled access
- Smart security systems
- Concierge and reception — package handling and visitor management
- Professional property management — maintenance and common areas handled professionally, not by a residents’ committee
Sustainability
SILVA is targeting LEED certification, the internationally recognised benchmark for sustainable buildings, which assesses performance across energy, water, materials and indoor environmental quality. The design incorporates solar integration, energy-efficient mechanical and electrical systems, and sustainable materials — the same stone, wood and responsibly sourced finishes that define the building’s aesthetic. Certification is a target at this stage rather than an award already held; we will confirm the current status with you at the point of enquiry.
Location — Blue Zone, Gigiri
| Landmark | Proximity |
|---|---|
| Village Market | 5 minutes |
| United Nations offices | 8 minutes |
| Karura Forest | 10 minutes |
| Westlands | 15 minutes |
| Nairobi CBD | 20 minutes |
| International embassies | Immediate neighbourhood |
Gigiri’s Blue Zone is Nairobi’s diplomatic and international quarter, home to the United Nations complex, major embassies and international organisations. Village Market, the area’s retail and entertainment hub, is five minutes away; Karura Forest, Nairobi’s 1,000-hectare urban forest, is ten. The combination of security, green space and an established international community is what gives Gigiri its enduring appeal.
Why SILVA Works
- The address. Gigiri’s Blue Zone is Nairobi’s diplomatic quarter, with a resident and tenant base drawn from the UN, embassies and international organisations — a community that is established rather than speculative.
- Fully furnished delivery. Every unit is handed over furnished, so there is no furnishing outlay after purchase and the apartment is ready to occupy or let from handover.
- An amenity set that is genuinely unusual. A fine-dining restaurant, spa with treatment rooms, sauna and jacuzzi, infinity pool, co-working spaces and The Nest — a combination closer to a hospitality property than a residential block.
- LEED targeting. Organisations and missions increasingly prefer green-rated buildings for their housing portfolios, and a LEED-targeted building is positioned for that requirement if certification is achieved.
- Low-density neighbourhood. New residential development in the Blue Zone is constrained by zoning, plot availability and Gigiri’s low-density character.
- Early-bird pricing. The current figures are launch pricing, which is the earliest entry point into the development.
On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one can guarantee them. You will see Gigiri property marketed elsewhere with dollar-denominated rent assumptions and guaranteed-appreciation claims — treat those as marketing rather than fact, and run your own numbers. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings in Gigiri and to connect you with independent advisers.
Buying from Abroad
SILVA suits diaspora buyers and internationally based purchasers, and buying from overseas is more straightforward than many expect. A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to begin. Block registers your KRA PIN and handles the paperwork on your behalf. Stamp duty of 4% applies on transfer, and we will walk you through the full cost breakdown before you commit. We can arrange a virtual walkthrough and manage the purchase end to end.
