Aera Westlands

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Balanced Urban Living

Aera is built on a simple idea: city outside, calm within. Business districts, malls, restaurants and schools are close by. Inside the building, there is a pool for a quiet morning swim, gardens above the street and a café where an informal catch-up does not require a drive.

The design is contemporary and the materials are warm. The amenities are practical enough to be used every day, not just admired at a viewing.

Unit Types

Studio Suite: 45 sqm, from KES 5,650,000
An open layout that brings living and sleeping areas together with an open kitchen, dining area, bathroom, entry foyer and balcony. It is compact, but each part of daily life has its own place.

Junior Suite: 52.50 sqm, from KES 6,231,250
An extra 7.5 sqm of room to live and work, with an entry price close to the studio’s.

Both sizes include the balcony. When planning furniture, remember that the balcony is a separate outdoor space and not part of the interior floor area.

Amenities

• Heated swimming pool
• Gym
• Café
• Children’s play area
• Landscaped gardens at mezzanine and rooftop levels
• Residents’ lounge, landscaped courtyard and sunset terrace
• Private wellness studio and concierge services
• Double-height lobby, managed gatehouse, access control and CCTV
• Standby generator, mains water supplemented by a borehole

Location Advantage

Aera sits on a barrier-controlled, low-traffic street about a five-minute walk from Sarit Centre, with quick links to Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway. The developer lists these approximate travel times:

• International school: 6 minutes
• Multi-speciality hospital: 7 minutes
• Shopping mall: 8 minutes
• City centre: 22 minutes
• International airport: 25 minutes

Travel times vary with traffic. A site visit at the hours you would actually travel is the most honest way to test the commute.

Payment Plan

Prices rise with floor level, so the same studio costs more higher up the building. The developer’s schedule of 8 October 2026 shows these ranges:

For example, the Studio is KES 6,010,000 on floors 4 to 6 and KES 6,685,000 on floors 7 to 8. The first release of 40 suites, the Founding 40, is offered at launch pricing while it lasts. Our team will prepare a quotation for your chosen floor and layout.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A Westlands address at an approachable entry point. Schools, healthcare, shopping and work are close, which in Nairobi often matters more than extra square metres.
• Amenities that get used. A pool, gym and café bring everyday routines closer to home.
• Quiet green space above the city. Mezzanine and rooftop gardens offer room to pause without leaving the building.
• A finished home, not a shell. Engineered wood flooring, a fitted kitchen with built-in appliances and smart door access are part of the specification.

Why It Works for Investors

Westlands is one of Nairobi’s key commercial and residential hubs, with a long record of demand from professionals, families and businesses. A compact suite with a clear amenity offering, secured access and a walkable address can appeal to both owner-occupiers and tenants.

Rental income and capital growth are never guaranteed. We recommend reviewing current Westlands rents and comparable sales, and speaking to your advisor about service charge, financing and your investment horizon before committing.
