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 | approx. 37 sqm (398 sqft) | KES 5.5M |
| Studio Type B | approx. 50 sqm (538 sqft) | KES 5.7M |
Prices shown are starting prices and vary by floor and orientation. Note that the Aether Residences development page quotes studios in a 43–50 sqm band, so confirm the exact area of your chosen layout against the current floor plans and price list before you commit. Ask us for the latest set. 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 (from KES 10.6M, some with a DSQ). 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 convenience retail store

Location Advantage
Westlands is Nairobi’s prime commercial and diplomatic district, home to a dense concentration of corporate offices, international organisations, hotels, malls and restaurants, and known for its security and infrastructure standards. For a studio buyer, that means living within easy reach of work and social life rather than commuting to it.
- Nairobi CBD — about 10 minutes via Waiyaki Way or the Nairobi Expressway
- Sarit Centre and Westgate Mall — within easy reach
- Global Trade Centre (GTC), home to major multinationals and international hotels — nearby
- Aga Khan University Hospital and MP Shah Hospital — close by
- Gigiri and the UN and embassy district — a comfortable commute
- Nairobi Expressway — a fast link to JKIA, Upper Hill and Mombasa Road
(Travel times are approximate and depend on traffic.)
Payment Plan
A 20% deposit reserves your studio, with the balance payable in instalments through to 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, alongside the usual legal costs, and we will talk through 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
- Buyers seeking the most accessible entry into the development
- Diaspora buyers after an accessible Westlands foothold they can purchase remotely
- Investors comfortable with an off-plan timeline and a compact, lean entry unit
