Westlands suburb showing the strongest performance over the year with prices in the area improving by 7.9 per cent as it undergoes the “rediscovery” phase of the urban regeneration cycle - a result of high income earners moving back to neighborhoods more central to the city

Westlands area is additionally undergoing the “rediscovery” phase of the urban regeneration cycle which is the result of high income earners moving back to neighborhoods that had previously seen an exodus of these tier of residents.

“Classically, in urban markets, areas that are initially populated by high-income earners are often, over time, developed in ways that lead to a shift in the mix of the population, with middle income earners beginning to move into the area. This can cause flight by the elite, to the next upmarket beauty spot. As the high-end residents vacate, property becomes further developed, often at higher density, and the area will see an influx of lower income earners.
This takes the cycle on a further stage, as middle-income earners also seek to relocate. Finally a younger generation of middle income earners comes to develop this area making it get 'rediscovered',” added Ms. Hassanali

Westlands' performance is benefiting from the area becoming a melting pot for international hotel brands setting up in the area as they seek to tap into Nairobi's growing market for Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) tourism.
The increased growth of MICE tourism is trickling down to the apartment, detached and semi-detached housing
market in the Westlands suburb as some visitors opt to stay in serviced apartments or houses that are in close vicinity to the hotels where major conferences are taking place.

Na Kirinyaga Rd je?

Westlands an acre is going for easily 300 metre and above. The "average non-corrupt Joe" under 45 cannot obviously afford that, so it is a waste of time to preach the glories of Westlands on Wazoo.

Where where Wukan?is this office space or lodging?
The high-rise on kirinyaga road?
Interesting...

The problem with investing in a down at the heels area is that particular strategy is built on the developer's HOPE alone, which IMHO is not a good basis upon which to invest. Some areas just have a bad "taste" in the mouths of the average Kenyan. If you say for example you are going to put a luxury highrise in the middle of Dandora dumpsite, someone may think you have been smoking some bad bangi mbichi.

Wewe wachana na bhangi. Use delusions of granduer as the excuse.
Kirinyaga road is prime for redicovery. It is next to a dirty river that can be cleaned up. That part of nairobi river even has a part ... I think it called michuki park.
Once the mechanics are kicked out... eventuality this place will blow up.
Right now the are has several AirBnB for some studios and they look very busy.
@Mugundaman for some so pro property I don't understand why you can't see the current ability and future potential of Kirinyaga road. I can easily see this place becoming a Nairobi "canary wharf"
