About the 3-Bedroom Apartment
The 3-bedroom apartments run from about 161 sqm to 184 sqm, making them the largest layout in the building. All three bedrooms are en-suite, and the plan carries four bathrooms in total. The living and dining areas are open-plan, with wide window frames along the outer wall, and the kitchen is fitted with integrated cabinetry, worktops and built-in shelving.
What separates this layout from the smaller units is the outdoor space: two separate private balconies, one off the master bedroom and one off the guest bedroom, rather than a single shared terrace.
Two figures circulate for this unit type. The 3-bedroom range is quoted from KES 18,700,000 for the smaller layout, while the record we hold against this listing is the 183.9 sqm (1,980 sq ft) layout at KES 22,018,771. Both are on file and we have not been able to reconcile them from published material, so ask us to confirm the current price list against the specific floor and layout you want. See the Symphony Residence development page for the full unit mix.
About Symphony Residence
Symphony Residence is an off-plan apartment building by VAAL Real Estate in Thompson Estate, off Riara Road in Lavington. The scheme mixes studios, 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments in one block, with the shared facilities split between the ground floor and the rooftop. Finishes use pastel tones and large glazed openings. A show unit is complete and can be viewed by appointment.
No completion or handover date has been published for this development, and payment terms are described by the developer only as flexible. Both are confirmed at enquiry, in writing, before you commit funds.
Shared Facilities
- Two heated swimming pools — one at ground level and a rooftop pool.
- Two gyms — one at ground level and one on the rooftop.
- Rooftop walking track and sitting area.
- Gaming room and a kids’ play area.
- Meeting rooms and reception for residents working from home or receiving guests.
- Solar water heating and a treated borehole water supply.
- Security and power: manned gates on a 24-hour basis, CCTV, electric fencing, lifts and a full backup generator.
Location and Connectivity
The address is Thompson Estate, off Riara Road, Lavington, Nairobi. Riara Road is the through route between Lavington and Kilimani, running south to Ngong Road, where The Junction Mall sits at the junction, and north towards Kileleshwa. That gives the building direct road access to the Kilimani business area, Ngong Road and, from there, Westlands.
You will see this development described in places as being in Lavington, on Riara Road and next to The Junction Mall. All three describe the same corridor, but they are not the same spot: the mall is on Ngong Road at the southern end of Riara Road, not at the door. We have not published a walking distance to the mall because the figure quoted previously (an eight-step walk) is not supported by the location we hold for this unit. Ask us and we will confirm the exact plot and drive time before you view.
Riara Group of Schools, Makini and Light Academy are the schools most often cited in the immediate area. Distances to each are worth checking against the specific plot at viewing, which matters more for a family-sized home than for the smaller units.
On the Investment Case
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. What can be said plainly is that this is a three-bedroom, all en-suite apartment of about 161 sqm to 184 sqm with four bathrooms, two private balconies, an open-plan living area and a fitted kitchen, built by VAAL Real Estate in Thompson Estate off Riara Road in Lavington, quoted from KES 18,700,000 with the larger layout on this listing at KES 22,018,771, sold off-plan with a show unit already complete, in a building with two heated pools, two gyms, a rooftop walking track, a gaming room, solar water heating and a backup generator. No completion date has been published and payment terms are confirmed at enquiry. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings and connect you with independent advisers.
If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and on applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is Symphony Residence?
The development is in Thompson Estate, off Riara Road, Lavington, Nairobi. Riara Road runs between Lavington and Kilimani and meets Ngong Road at its southern end, where The Junction Mall stands, so you will see the building described against all three names. The address we use on this listing is Thompson Estate, Riara Road, Lavington.
Is the building really an eight-step walk from The Junction Mall?
No. That claim appeared in earlier marketing and we have removed it. The Junction Mall is on Ngong Road at the southern end of Riara Road, not at the door of the building. Ask us and we will confirm the exact plot and the drive time before you view.
How much does a 3-bedroom at Symphony Residence cost?
The 3-bedroom range is quoted from KES 18,700,000 for the smaller layout. The record we hold against this listing is the larger 183.9 sqm layout at KES 22,018,771. We have not been able to reconcile the two figures from published material, so ask us to confirm the current developer price list before you commit.
How big is the 3-bedroom apartment?
About 161 sqm to 184 sqm depending on the layout, which makes it the largest unit in the building. The layout recorded on this listing is 183.9 sqm, or 1,980 sq ft. Floor plans are available on request.
Are all the bedrooms en-suite?
Yes. The 3-bedroom layout is all en-suite and carries four bathrooms in total. It also has two separate private balconies, one off the master bedroom and one off the guest bedroom.
Is the apartment ready to move into?
No. The building is off-plan and under construction, with a show unit ready for viewing. No completion date has been published for this listing, so please treat any handover timeline as one to confirm in writing with the developer at enquiry.
Can I buy from abroad?
Yes. We work regularly with buyers outside Kenya and can arrange a video walkthrough of the show unit, send floor plans and the current price list, and deal directly with your advocate here. Ownership, payment routes and any tenure conditions should be confirmed by your own lawyer before you commit funds.
What return will the 3-bedroom produce if I let it out?
We do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because they depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell. We can instead share comparable sales and lettings evidence for Lavington and Kilimani and put you in touch with independent advisers.
