Brookside One Residency: Large-Format Apartments for Sale in Westlands
Brookside One Residency is an off-plan apartment development at the junction of Brookside Grove and Brookside Close in Brookside, Westlands, Nairobi. The project offers spacious two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, with DSQ included in the larger layouts. Current advertised prices range from approximately KES 14.5M for a 126 sqm two-bedroom apartment to KES 34.5M for a 299 sqm four-bedroom apartment.
NRE Real Estate’s analysis identifies a clear pricing pattern: the advertised homes are priced at almost the same rate per square metre, around KES 115,000. That consistency makes the project easier to compare across unit sizes, but buyers should still examine floor position, views, parking, service charge, layout efficiency and the value of the DSQ before choosing a home.
Location and neighbourhood
Brookside One Residency sits in the established Brookside pocket of Westlands, close to Brookside Drive and the area’s residential and commercial amenities. The location provides access to Sarit Centre, Westgate Mall, GTC Mall, Westlands CBD, Aga Khan University Hospital, MP Shah Hospital and major road connections including the Nairobi Expressway.
Brookside offers a quieter residential setting than the busiest parts of Westlands while remaining close to offices, schools, shopping and hospitality. Before booking, inspect the exact site entrance, confirm the practical peak-hour route and assess how parking and visitor access will work for the selected block.
Apartment types, sizes and advertised prices
2 bedroom: 126 sqm from KES 14.5M; 129 sqm from KES 14.8M.
3 bedroom + DSQ: 172 sqm from KES 19.8M; 222 sqm from KES 25.5M.
4 bedroom + DSQ: 279 sqm from KES 32M; 299 sqm from KES 34.5M.
On the advertised schedule, the 126 sqm two-bedroom is approximately KES 115,079 per sqm, while the 279 sqm four-bedroom with DSQ is approximately KES 114,695 per sqm. The 172 sqm and 222 sqm three-bedroom layouts are approximately KES 115,116 and KES 114,865 per sqm respectively. The narrow range suggests that Brookside One uses a relatively consistent pricing formula across its published sizes; it does not by itself prove that every layout offers equal value because DSQ utility, floor, outlook, parking and service costs still matter.
Apartment design and amenities
The advertised development combines large-format interiors with shared facilities intended for family living and daily convenience.
Two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts, with DSQ on the three- and four-bedroom apartments
Swimming pool, fully equipped gym, clubhouse and residents’ lounge
Rooftop garden and children’s playroom
Reception lobby and high-speed lifts
Backup generator, borehole and underground water storage
Solar water heating
24-hour CCTV surveillance and video intercom
Ask for the final parking allocation, service-charge budget, generator coverage, water-backup capacity, lift-maintenance arrangements and the management plan for the clubhouse, pool and rooftop areas. These recurring costs will influence both owner-occupier affordability and rental performance.
Construction and expected completion
Brookside One Residency is an off-plan development with the current completion target set for September 2027. NRE Real Estate uses this as the current working completion date because it is the date repeated across the latest project schedules reviewed. Buyers should confirm the contractual completion date, handover standard, construction milestones and any extension provisions in the sale agreement.
Completion of the building may not be the same as practical occupation. Confirm the process for snagging, utilities, common-area readiness, sectional title documentation and handover before making the final payment.
Payment and financial planning
A 20% initial deposit is used as the project planning example, followed by staged payments through construction. On the KES 14.5M two-bedroom, a 20% initial contribution would be approximately KES 2.9M, leaving approximately KES 11.6M before transaction and ownership costs. Confirm the developer’s written instalment schedule, reservation terms, completion balance, account details and cancellation provisions before transferring funds.
Confirm whether instalments are monthly, quarterly or linked to construction milestones.
Confirm whether parking is included, separately priced or allocated by unit type.
Budget for legal fees, stamp duty where applicable, registration, service charge, utilities and any facility charges.
Home and investment suitability
The large layouts and DSQ options make Brookside One more naturally suited to families, executives and buyers who prioritise usable living space over a compact investment unit. The Brookside location may also appeal to tenants working in Westlands and nearby commercial districts, but rental performance will depend on the final service charge, management quality, parking, finishing standard and competing supply at handover.
Buyers seeking a smaller entry price, immediate occupation or an established rental record should compare Brookside One with completed Westlands apartments. Buyers prioritising space, a quieter residential address and a large-format family layout may find the project more relevant.
NRE Real Estate assessment
Brookside One Residency presents a notably consistent advertised pricing structure: its published homes cluster around KES 115,000 per square metre despite ranging from two-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom homes with DSQ. That makes the project easier to analyse than developments where unit prices vary sharply without an obvious size-based pattern.
However, NRE Real Estate cannot conclude that one Brookside One layout offers superior overall value without independently confirmed availability, floor-specific pricing, parking terms, service charges, final specifications and comparable completed-property evidence. The strongest shortlist should therefore be based on total usable space, DSQ utility, outlook, recurring costs and the buyer’s intended use—not price per square metre alone.
NRE Real Estate review date: 11 October 2026. Prices, availability, construction timing and contractual terms can change; the current sale agreement and developer schedule govern the purchase.
