On September 1, 2019, Nairobi's Westlands area was set to undergo a significant transformation with the development of a 27-floor luxurious hotel complex.
The complex, designed by Bowman Associates Architects, will replace a four-storeyed serviced apartments property and will feature 375 apartments, 251 parking bays, and a range of amenities including a high-end restaurant, gym, sauna, and heated swimming pool.
The property, located on the junction connecting Peponi, Karuna, and Lower Kabete roads, will have 46 studio apartments, 86 one-bedroomed apartments, 243 two-bedroom units, and 24 duplexes of three-bedroom apartments.
The 27th floor will be reserved for an expansive sky lounge next to six executive meeting rooms, while the 26th floor will feature a high-end restaurant.
Residents of Nairobi have 30 days to submit written submissions to the project's developers, Eighteen Seventy Lower Kabete Ltd, if they have any objections to the project.
