Libra Residencies: Large-Format Family Apartments in Kilimani
Libra Residencies is a high-end apartment development on George Padmore Road, off Ngong Road, in Kilimani. The project is designed around spacious 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom homes for families and buyers who want the space, privacy and practicality of a house with the security and shared services of an apartment community.
Apartment types, sizes and prices
3-bedroom + SQ: approximately 193 sqm, from about KES 19.7M.
4-bedroom + DSQ/SQ: approximately 250–265 sqm, from about KES 25.3M–26.3M.
5-bedroom + SQ: approximately 284 sqm, from about KES 28M.
The exact price varies by plan, floor, orientation, parking and payment terms. Large-format buyers should compare net living area, ensuite privacy, DSQ or SQ function, storage, balcony, parking and service charge against premium houses and townhouses in Kilimani.
Project scale and location
Libra Residencies comprises approximately 119–120 apartments in a 20-floor development on George Padmore Road, next to Roseville Residences. The location provides access to Yaya Centre, Junction Mall, Nairobi Hospital, Prestige Plaza, schools, restaurants, the CBD and Ngong Road. Wilson Airport and JKIA are also within practical reach for frequent travellers.
Interior character and shared amenities
The residences are designed with bright living and dining areas, fitted modern kitchens, large balconies, full-height windows, ensuite bedrooms, walk-in closets and high-quality contemporary finishes. Shared facilities include:
Heated swimming pool

Children’s play area

Modern clubhouse and residents’ lounge
Community mini-shop or business hub
High-speed elevators
Solar lighting for common areas
Borehole water and backup generator

Construction and completion
Libra Residencies is under construction, with handover targeted for 2027 and the current project record placing completion in Q4 2027. The contractual completion date, construction programme, handover standard, snagging process and extension provisions should be stated in the sale agreement.
Payment and purchase planning
The purchase structure uses a 20% initial deposit, with the remaining balance scheduled through construction under the current offer letter. Confirm the instalment frequency, taxes, legal costs, parking, service charge and completion charges before signing.
NRE Real Estate assessment
Libra’s central proposition is space. Its 193–284 sqm homes sit closer to premium family houses than compact Kilimani investment apartments, which makes layout quality and long-term household demand more important than a simple price-per-bedroom comparison. The 3-bedroom is the broadest entry point, while the 4- and 5-bedroom homes appeal to established families, expatriate households and executives who value ensuite privacy, DSQ utility and a more complete home environment.
Libra for sale, rent and long-term value
Libra is positioned for owner-occupation and executive rental demand. Larger apartments can command stronger rents when the layout, furnishing, parking and management are right, but they also take longer to let and carry higher service and maintenance costs. Buyers should model realistic rent, vacancy, furnishing, service charge and resale depth before projecting returns.
Libra Residencies review
NRE Real Estate’s view is that Libra is strongest for buyers who genuinely need large family space and want a central Kilimani location. It is not a compact entry-level investment proposition; the value case depends on the selected plan, build quality, parking, service charge, handover performance and the depth of demand for large executive apartments.
