The Moment Residences Westlands: Studios to 3-Bedroom Apartments on School Lane
The Moment Residences is an off-plan apartment development on School Lane in Westlands, next to Westlands Primary School and close to Sarit Centre. The project is planned across three residential blocks and offers studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom homes. Its proposition is straightforward: central Westlands access, generous floor areas and a deep shared-amenity package for buyers who want a city home with more facilities than a conventional apartment block.
Location and access
School Lane places the development within Westlands’ established residential, commercial and hospitality district. Sarit Centre, Westgate Shopping Mall, Waiyaki Way and the Nairobi Expressway are close by, while schools, healthcare, restaurants, corporate offices and entertainment venues serve the wider area. The location is particularly relevant to professionals, corporate tenants, families and buyers who want daily services within a short drive or walk. Confirm the exact parking entrance, traffic pattern, apartment outlook and relationship to neighbouring school and commercial activity before reserving.
Unit types, sizes and advertised prices
- Studios: 42 sqm from KES 5.55M to KES 6.65M.
- 1-bedroom apartments: 78–88 sqm from KES 8.85M to KES 10.65M.
- 2-bedroom apartments: 120–137 sqm from KES 14.15M to KES 17.85M.
- 3-bedroom apartments: 204–238 sqm from KES 23.20M to KES 29.20M.
Prices are advertised ranges and may change with floor, view, layout, finishes, parking allocation, payment route and availability. Ask for the current unit schedule and floor plans before relying on a starting price.
NRE Real Estate price analysis
Using the current advertised entry points, the studio is approximately KES 132,143 per sqm, the smallest listed one-bedroom is approximately KES 113,462 per sqm, the smallest two-bedroom is approximately KES 117,917 per sqm and the smallest three-bedroom is approximately KES 113,725 per sqm. This points to a premium for the compact studio rather than a simple “smaller is cheaper” rule. Buyers comparing value should therefore assess usable living area, natural light, floor position, parking, service charge and tenant demand alongside the headline price.
Shared facilities and building services
- Rooftop swimming pool, sky terrace and panoramic clubhouse
- Fully equipped gym, yoga room, steam and sauna facilities
- Secure children’s playroom, games room, golf simulator and media room
- Café and restaurant, residents’ lounge, co-working lounge and conference room
- Ground-floor reception and five levels of dedicated parking
- High-speed elevators and full backup generator for homes and shared areas
- Borehole water supply, electric perimeter fence and 24/7 surveillance
- Video intercom and access control
The amenity depth is a meaningful part of the project’s positioning, but it also creates ongoing management obligations. Confirm the final specification, operating hours, service-charge budget, utility arrangements, parking rights and sinking-fund provisions in the sale documents.
Construction, target handover and payment
The Moment Residences is currently presented as a pre-launch/off-plan development. Current project marketing indicates a target completion around Q1 2029, but buyers should rely on the contractual completion and handover provisions in the signed sale agreement. Confirm extension rights, notice requirements, delay remedies and the handover standard before making a commitment.
The advertised payment structure begins with a 20% initial deposit, with the balance payable through the agreed monthly or quarterly schedule until completion. On the KES 5.55M studio entry price, a 20% deposit is approximately KES 1.11M. This is a planning illustration; confirm the live offer letter, instalment price, taxes, legal costs, parking charges and any non-refundable amounts before signing.
Who the project may suit
The studio suits buyers seeking a compact Westlands base or an entry-level rental unit. One-bedroom homes offer more separation between living and sleeping areas for professionals and couples. Two-bedroom apartments widen the owner-occupier and family market, while the larger three-bedroom homes target buyers who want substantial space in a central urban address. The investment case depends on achievable rent, vacancy periods, furnishing cost, service charge, financing cost and competing Westlands supply.
NRE Real Estate assessment
The Moment Residences stands out for its unusually broad apartment sizes and substantial shared-facility programme in a highly connected Westlands location. NRE Real Estate’s analysis suggests that the studio carries the highest entry price per sqm in the advertised schedule, while the larger homes provide more space per shilling at their entry points. That does not automatically make the larger apartments a better investment: the right choice depends on budget, rental depth, holding costs and the buyer’s preferred exit market. Before reserving, obtain the approved plans, current availability, parking allocation, service-charge estimate, payment schedule and a clear contractual handover framework.
