Sitara Residences — Apartments Overlooking Karura Forest, Parklands

There is something quietly special about waking up to a forest. Set on 6th Parklands Avenue, overlooking the green expanse of Karura Forest, Sitara Residences brings together the calm of nature and the convenience of one of Nairobi’s most established, well-connected neighbourhoods.

Sitara Residences is a contemporary 24-storey tower of 96 homes, offering generously proportioned 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments — many with a domestic staff quarter, and the largest a multi-level duplex. Designed around open layouts, natural light and forest-facing views, it is a considered address for families and professionals who want space and serenity without leaving the city behind.

With completion expected in Q3 2026, Sitara is nearing handover — offering the reassurance of a near-ready home, in a location where the forest is your outlook and everything else is minutes away.

A Development Designed for Serene, Forest-Front Living

Sitara Residences is built around a rare idea in a capital city: a home that looks out over a forest. Overlooking Karura, with City Park also close by, it offers green, restful surroundings within one of Nairobi’s most centrally located and multicultural neighbourhoods.

The homes are generous and open-plan, designed to make the most of natural light and their forest-facing orientation. For families, there is real space — three and four-bedroom layouts, most with a domestic staff quarter, and a multi-level duplex for those who want more room still. For professionals, there is calm and connection: a peaceful outlook, with the city’s business, retail and healthcare hubs only minutes away.

Unit Types

Sitara Residences offers a range of spacious, high-specification homes:

Unit type	Size	From
2 Bedroom	To be confirmed at point of enquiry	KES 13M
3 Bedroom + DSQ	140 sqm (1,507 sqft)	KES 18.1M
4 Bedroom + DSQ	180 sqm (1,938 sqft)	KES 22.62M
4 Bedroom + DSQ Duplex	270 sqm (2,906 sqft)	KES 24.56M

Every home is planned for comfortable, contemporary living, with open layouts and thoughtful detailing. The three and four-bedroom homes include a domestic staff quarter, and the duplex offers multi-level living for larger households.

The 3 and 4-bedroom prices are converted from the developer’s US-dollar pricing at KES 129.25 per US dollar; the 2-bedroom is documented directly in Kenya Shillings. All prices are confirmed on enquiry. Many units enjoy views over Karura Forest; forest-facing availability is best confirmed on enquiry. Full floor plans and the latest price list — including the 2-bedroom size — are available on request.

Amenities

Sitara Residences offers a considered set of facilities for leisure, wellness and security:

• Swimming pool with an outdoor lounge area
• Sky-view gym and fitness centre, with panoramic outlooks
• Rooftop lounge and entertainment area
• Dedicated kids’ play zone (indoor and outdoor)
• High-speed lifts
• Ample parking
• Access control, CCTV and 24/7 security

Together, these make Sitara a comfortable, secure place to live — with the rooftop and pool areas taking full advantage of the building’s height and forest setting.

Location Advantage

Sitara Residences sits on 6th Parklands Avenue, overlooking Karura Forest — combining a green, restful outlook with the convenience of a long-established, centrally located neighbourhood.

What that means for daily life:

• A forest on your doorstep — Karura Forest for nature walks and trails, with City Park also close by.
• Top schools nearby — including Oshwal Academy and Parklands Arya Girls Secondary School, ideal for families.
• Excellent healthcare — MP Shah Hospital and Aga Khan University Hospital both within quick reach.
• Effortless shopping — Diamond Plaza on the doorstep, with Westgate Mall and Sarit Centre just minutes away.
• Strong connectivity — Limuru Road links smoothly to the CBD, Westlands and the wider city.

Parklands is one of Nairobi’s most diverse and welcoming neighbourhoods, with a genuinely multicultural character and everything a household needs close at hand.

Payment Plan

Sitara Residences offers a structured, staged payment plan through to handover:

• 30% initial deposit
• 30% over the next 6 months
• 30% over the following 6 months
• 10% on handover (expected Q3 2026)

Financing

For buyers considering a mortgage, Block can help you approach lenders and prepare your application. Financing may be available (subject to approval and each lender’s terms) through partners including:

Absa · Stanbic · NCBA · KCB · HFC · Standard Chartered · Prime Bank

We are glad to talk you through the options.

Buying from the diaspora

Sitara Residences is well suited to Kenyans living abroad, and we support remote purchases from start to finish. In practice:

• A valid passport or Alien ID is sufficient to purchase.
• Block can assist with KRA PIN registration and guide you through stamp duty (currently 4%).
• The entire purchase can be handled remotely, with clear updates at each stage.

If you are buying from overseas, we will structure the process around your time zone and keep everything documented and transparent.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For families and owner-occupiers, Sitara Residences offers a rare combination:

• A forest-front outlook — homes overlooking Karura Forest, with green, restful surroundings in the heart of the city.
• Genuine space — three and four-bedroom homes, most with a DSQ, and a multi-level duplex for larger households.
• A family-friendly setting — top schools, major hospitals and everyday shopping all close at hand.
• A secure, well-equipped building — access control, CCTV and 24/7 security, with a pool, sky-view gym and rooftop amenities.
• A near-ready home — with completion expected Q3 2026, much of the construction risk is behind you.

It is a home that offers both calm and connection — the forest on one side, the city on the other.

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. Parklands is one of Nairobi’s most established, well-connected and consistently desirable neighbourhoods.
• A genuinely rare outlook. A forest-front position overlooking Karura Forest is an unusual and scarce attribute in a capital city.
• Established infrastructure. Major hospitals (MP Shah, Aga Khan), top schools (Oshwal, Arya) and retail (Diamond Plaza, Westgate, Sarit) are all close by.
• Strong connectivity. Limuru Road links smoothly to the CBD, Westlands and the wider city.
• A finite, well-specified offering. Sitara is a single tower of 96 generously sized homes, most with a DSQ — a specific, finite product rather than open, ongoing supply.

We are glad to talk through these fundamentals openly and help you decide whether Sitara fits your own plans — without overpromising on performance.

Finishes and Specifications

Sitara Residences is finished in a contemporary style, with an emphasis on space, light and quality. Reported features include:

• Contemporary design with open-plan layouts
• High-quality finishes and thoughtful detailing
• Forest-facing orientation for many units
• Domestic staff quarter (DSQ) in the 3 and 4 bedroom homes
• Multi-level living in the 4-bedroom duplex

Detailed finishing schedules — including specific fittings, kitchen and bathroom specifications, flooring and material selections — are best confirmed against the developer’s brochure and specification sheet, and on a site visit. Detailed finishes: to be confirmed at point of enquiry.

Who This Development Suits Best

Sitara Residences is likely to suit you if you are:

• A family seeking a spacious, well-located home — with a DSQ and room to grow — beside Karura Forest.
• A buyer who values a green, restful outlook without giving up a central, connected address.
• Someone drawn to a larger, multi-level home — the four-bedroom duplex offers generous space.
• A Kenyan living abroad seeking a well-located Parklands apartment, purchased through a fully supported remote process.
• A considered buyer who values a rare forest-front setting and a near-ready home over an unproven, early-stage development.
