Overview
Property Description
This 45.9 sqm studio apartment in Westlands sits within Stellar Bay Residences on Mpaka Road, a hotel-style mixed-use development priced from KSh 6.7 million.
The unit
At 45.9 sqm, this is a generous studio by Nairobi standards, where much of the new stock in this category lands closer to 30 sqm. The additional floor area means the space can be zoned properly rather than functioning as a single room with a kitchen along one wall.
Pricing runs from KSh 6.7 million to KSh 8 million depending on floor level, and with towers rising to the 30th floor that variation reflects a genuine difference in outlook rather than an arbitrary premium.
The specification is where this development makes its case:
- Spacious layouts designed for modern city living
- Premium interior finishes
- Bright, well-ventilated rooms with open views
- Fully fitted kitchen with quality cabinetry
- Secure parking
- Smart home systems and advanced 3D security
World-class amenities
- Mezzanine swimming pool
- Rooftop gardens and sunset bar
- Fully equipped gym and spa
- Banquet hall and meeting rooms
- Sky lounges and book lounge
- Landscaped sky gardens
- Smart home and advanced security systems
- Reliable water supply
- Hotel-style concierge and butler services
The concierge and butler services are what distinguish this from a conventional apartment block. For a studio owner in particular, having deliveries received, visitors managed and building services handled removes the friction that otherwise comes with living in a small unit.
The sky lounges and rooftop gardens serve a similar function. They effectively extend your living space beyond the apartment, which matters considerably more at 45.9 sqm than it would at 150.
Everything on the lower floors
The first three floors house commercial and lifestyle space: a supermarket, cafés and restaurants, a pharmacy, offices, convenience stores and retail shops. The residential towers occupy floors four through thirty above.
For a resident, that means groceries, meals and daily errands happen without leaving the building. In Westlands, where traffic can make a short trip take half an hour, that convenience is worth more than the floor plan suggests.
Why buy a studio apartment in Westlands
Westlands is Nairobi’s primary commercial district outside the CBD, home to multinational headquarters, five-star hotels, hospitals and the city’s densest concentration of restaurants and nightlife.
That concentration drives rental demand. Expatriate staff, young professionals working locally, and short-stay visitors all compete for well-located units, and a studio in a serviced building with concierge services sits at the top of that market rather than the middle.
Mpaka Road itself is central to Westlands without being on a main artery, which gives you access without the noise. A studio apartment in Westlands at this address puts the commercial district within walking distance.
Investment potential
The developer projects annual appreciation of approximately 15% and rental returns of around 5% annually. Those are projections rather than guarantees, and we would encourage any buyer to form their own view and verify comparable performance in the area independently.
What is observable is the underlying demand. Westlands has sustained occupancy through cycles that affected other parts of Nairobi, supported by the commercial activity around it.
Who this suits
Investors targeting Nairobi’s strongest rental submarket. Diaspora buyers wanting a unit that can be let and managed with minimal involvement. Professionals working in Westlands who would rather own than rent.
A studio apartment in Westlands of this size and specification also suits buyers who want a city base alongside a home elsewhere.
