If you want to live in the heart of Westlands without overcommitting, the studio at Aether Residences is the most accessible way in. It is a compact, efficient home on Lantana Road — a short distance from the offices, malls and restaurants that make Westlands Nairobi’s busiest district — and the entry unit at one of the area’s more amenity-rich new developments, from KES 5.5M.

A studio earns its keep when the location and the lifestyle around it are strong, and here both are. You get a well-planned home and the run of a rooftop infinity pool, a padel court and on-site dining, in a building designed for easy city living.

One thing to be upfront about: Aether Residences is off-plan, with completion scheduled for June 2028. You are buying ahead of construction — which gives you first pick of units and the ability to spread payments across the build — rather than a home you can move into today. We will walk you through the terms before you commit.

A Home Designed for Compact City Living

The studio is built for one person who wants to live centrally and lightly — a single, well-proportioned space that works hard without wasted square metres. It is a natural fit for a young professional whose life centres on Westlands, or for anyone who wants a low-maintenance, lock-up-and-go base in the middle of the city.

Two studio layouts are offered, so there is room to match the space to your budget:

Layout	Size	Price From
Studio Type A	43 sqm (463 sqft)	KES 5.5M
Studio Type B	50 sqm (538 sqft)	KES 5.7M

Prices shown are starting prices and vary by floor and orientation. Sizes are the developer’s gross figures; the net internal areas are 37 sqm (Type A) and 43 sqm (Type B), and both layouts have a balcony. Ask us for the current price list and floor plans. USD equivalents can be provided at the prevailing exchange rate on request.

Other Layouts at Aether Residences

If you would like a separate bedroom or more room, the development also offers 1 Bedroom apartments (57–60 sqm, from KES 6.5M) and 2 Bedroom apartments (95–120 sqm, from KES 10.6M). See the full Aether Residences development page for everything in one place.

Amenities

Aether Residences sits at the upper end of Westlands developments for amenities:

• Rooftop infinity swimming pool with Nairobi skyline views
• Rooftop padel court — a rare feature in a Nairobi residential building
• On-site restaurant
• Café and social lounge
• Fully equipped gym
• Hotel-style reception lobby
• On-site mini-mart
• High-speed lifts
• Full backup generator and borehole water
• 24/7 CCTV and security
• Ample parking

Location Advantage

Lantana Road sits on the quieter, residential side of Westlands, between Rhapta Road and Riverside Drive, with Sarit Centre, the GTC and Waiyaki Way a few minutes away. Westlands itself is Nairobi’s prime commercial and diplomatic district, home to a dense concentration of corporate offices, international organisations, hotels, malls and restaurants. For a studio buyer, that means living within easy reach of work and social life rather than commuting to it.

• Sarit Centre — about 15 minutes on foot
• Global Trade Centre (GTC) and Westgate Mall — 6 to 10 minutes by car
• MP Shah Hospital — about 10 minutes; Aga Khan University Hospital — about 12 minutes
• Nairobi CBD — about 15 minutes via Waiyaki Way
• UN offices and embassies in Gigiri — about 20 minutes
• JKIA — about 30 minutes via the Nairobi Expressway

(Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic.)

Payment Plan

A 20% deposit reserves your studio, with the balance payable in instalments through construction and a final payment on completion in June 2028. Spreading payments across the construction period makes ownership more manageable than paying in full upfront, and it suits both local and diaspora buyers. Terms can be tailored and may be updated by the developer, so we will confirm the current schedule for you before you commit.

Why It Works for Homeowners

For a single professional living and working in Westlands, the studio is a sensible, low-overhead way to own in the centre of the city — your own space, the gym downstairs, a swim on the roof, and dinner within the building or a short walk away, with security and backup power handled for you. The honest caveat is the timeline: with a June 2028 completion, it suits someone planning ahead rather than needing to move in now.

Why It Works for Investors

The studio is the lowest entry point into Aether Residences, in a part of Nairobi with a long-established rental market drawn from corporate professionals and expatriates. As an off-plan purchase, any rental income only begins after completion in 2028, and actual returns will depend on the finished product, your furnishing standard and market conditions at the time. We do not publish yield figures — but we are happy to prepare a grounded rental appraisal for the studio and to talk through realistic numbers before you decide.

Buying from Abroad

The off-plan structure and instalment payments make this an accessible option for diaspora buyers, and the process can be handled remotely. A valid passport or Alien ID is enough to get started — you do not need to be in the country to begin — and Block handles the KRA PIN registration and the paperwork. Budget for stamp duty of 4% of the purchase price on transfer, legal fees (typically 1% plus VAT) and the developer’s completion charges, such as utility meter connections, sectional title registration and service charge paid in advance. We will set out the full cost picture before you commit.

Finishes and Specifications

Aether Residences is designed with a hotel-style sensibility and modern finishes throughout. As this is off-plan, the detailed finishes and specification schedule — kitchen fittings, flooring, fixtures and the exact inclusions for the studio — is best reviewed directly. Ask us for the latest brochure, specification sheet and floor plans so you know precisely what is being delivered.

Who This Apartment Suits Best

• Young professionals who want to live centrally in Westlands
