Ubora Living Westlands — Luxury Apartments With Projected 10–18% Rental Yields

Most off-plan brochures throw around the word “prime” so often it stops meaning anything. Ubora Living is one of the few Westlands developments where the location claim actually checks out on a map: it sits right at the junction of Ring Road and General Mathenge Road, arguably the single most connected corner of Westlands, with the Expressway, the CBD, and Gigiri’s diplomatic corridor all within easy reach.

Rising 25 floors on a 0.5-hectare parcel, Ubora Living will hold over 300 units once complete, with handover targeted for May 2028.

It’s a scale that lets the development absorb serious amenity infrastructure without feeling crowded — something a lot of smaller Westlands towers simply don’t have the land to do.

Built for Investors Who Actually Run the Numbers

The headline figure here is rental yield, and it’s worth being precise about it rather than just repeating the marketing line: the developer’s projections put 1-bedroom units at around 10% and 2-bedroom units as high as 18%, figures pulled from Westlands’ current rental performance rather than pure optimism.

Westlands has consistently been one of Nairobi’s strongest rental markets — corporate tenants, embassy staff, and young professionals all compete for units in this exact corridor, which is what keeps occupancy high and vacancy periods short.

For investors, the appeal isn’t just the yield number. It’s a payment plan tied to construction milestones, meaning capital isn’t required all at once, and it’s the kind of hotel-style tenant appeal — gym, rooftop pool, sauna, clubhouse — that lets landlords charge a genuine premium over a standard walk-up apartment nearby.

What You’re Actually Buying

1 Bedroom Apartments

• 66 sqm — from KES 9.9 Million
• 89 sqm — from KES 13.5 Million
• 90 sqm — from KES 13.5 Million

2 Bedroom Apartments

• 113 sqm — from KES 17.4 Million
• 116 sqm — from KES 17.5 Million
• 157 sqm — from KES 21.0 Million

Units are designed with large windows for natural light and airflow, open-plan modern kitchens, quality finishes, and well-planned storage — the kind of detail that sounds standard on paper but is inconsistent across Nairobi developments in practice.

Self-contained DSQs are also available, priced separately from around KES 2M, giving buyers the option to add live-in staff quarters without needing a larger primary unit.

A Genuine Lifestyle Building, Not Just an Address

Ubora Living leans hard into hotel-style living rather than treating amenities as an afterthought. Residents get a rooftop swimming pool, a fully equipped gym and sauna, a clubhouse and social lounge for entertaining, and a dedicated kids’ play area for families. Add high-speed lifts, a backup generator, borehole water supply, 24-hour enhanced security, and ample parking, and the building is built to run smoothly day to day, not just look good in a render.

Why This Stretch of Westlands Specifically

General Mathenge Road sits in the upper tier of Westlands’ residential zones — surrounded by embassies, executive residences, and established apartment developments, yet noticeably calmer and less congested than the busier commercial parts of Westlands closer to Sarit Centre.

That combination of accessibility and quiet is exactly why the area holds its value: residents get fast connections to Waiyaki Way, the Nairobi Expressway, and Ring Road without living on top of the traffic those roads carry.

Day-to-day convenience is hard to beat from this address. Westgate Mall, Sarit Centre, GTC, and The Mall Westlands are all a short drive away for shopping and dining.

Families have access to top schools including Aga Khan Academy and the International School of Kenya, and healthcare is close by via Aga Khan Hospital and MP Shah Hospital.

Karura Forest sits roughly ten minutes out for residents who want green space without leaving the city, and the UN offices in Gigiri plus major corporate hubs are all within easy commuting distance — a detail that matters directly to Ubora’s projected rental demand from diplomatic and NGO tenants.

Locking In Off-Plan Pricing

Off-plan buyers benefit twice over here: today’s pricing sits well below what comparable completed units in this exact corridor are currently commanding, and General Mathenge Road listings across Westlands already average well above Ubora’s entry price point, which suggests real room for appreciation by the time the tower is handed over in 2028.

Flexible deposit structures, typically in the 20-30% range with the balance spread across the construction period, make it manageable to secure a unit now rather than compete for a finished one later at a materially higher price.
