Lesonia Residency stands on a 0.75-acre estate at the intersection of Gatundu Road and Tinderet Avenue in Kileleshwa — directly opposite Kenton International School. That single fact tells you most of what you need to know about this address. No other off-plan development currently available in Kileleshwa puts you five metres from one of Nairobi’s most sought-after international schools. For families, that proximity removes one of the most persistent daily frustrations of city living. For investors, it anchors the rental premium at a level that holds regardless of where the broader market moves.
The development delivers a curated collection of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments across 16 floors, each unit built to a structural and finish standard that the Kileleshwa market consistently demands and rarely receives at this price point. Superior materials, generous proportions, and layouts that prioritise how a home actually functions from morning to evening — these are the qualities that distinguish Lesonia Residency from the wider off-plan field in this part of Nairobi.
The 0.75-acre estate footprint gives the building breathing room. Landscaped gardens, a rooftop lounge with panoramic city views, a children’s play area, a heated infinity pool, and a full wellness suite all sit within the development itself. For owner-occupiers, this means daily life works from inside the building. For investors, it builds a complete amenity package that quality tenants in Kileleshwa — expatriates, professionals, families with school-age children — consistently choose over simpler buildings that ask them to go elsewhere for everything.
Prices start from Ksh 5.6 Million. The development completes in December 2028, and buyers secure their unit with a 20% initial deposit under a structured and fully flexible payment plan.
Lesonia Residency offers nine distinct unit configurations across three bedroom types — three 1-bedroom layouts, four 2-bedroom layouts, and two 3-bedroom layouts. Prices vary by floor level and payment structure: the more you commit upfront, the lower the unit price. Floors 1 to 6 carry the lowest prices, floors 7 to 11 sit in the mid-range, and floors 11 to 16 command the highest prices. All prices below run from the lowest (full cash, lower floors) to the highest (instalment plan, upper floors) per unit type, as instructed.
One-Bedroom Apartments — three configurations:
C2 — 55 sqm — from Ksh 5.6M to Ksh 6.6M C1 — 65 sqm — from Ksh 6.5M to Ksh 7.8M C3 — 68 sqm — from Ksh 7.0M to Ksh 8.0M
The C2 at 55 sqm and Ksh 5.6M (full cash, floors 1-6) sets the entry point for the development and represents one of the most competitively priced off-plan 1-bedroom positions currently available anywhere along the Gatundu Road corridor. At 55 sqm, the unit is not oversized — but it is properly proportioned, and the finish quality at Lesonia Residency means every square metre carries its weight. For an investor targeting Kileleshwa’s strong professional rental market, the C2 offers a clean, low-commitment entry point with a tenant pool that consistently outpaces unit supply in this neighbourhood.
The C1 at 65 sqm takes the same quality standard and adds meaningful space. The extra 10 sqm over the C2 translates into a living experience that feels genuinely comfortable rather than efficiently arranged. This configuration appeals to professionals who spend real time at home and to couples where two people share a one-bedroom apartment without either one feeling accommodated rather than settled. At Ksh 6.5M (cash, lower floors) to Ksh 7.8M (instalment, upper floors), the C1 sits at a price point that remains competitive for what it delivers in Kileleshwa.
The C3 at 68 sqm gives the 1-bedroom range its largest footprint. The additional space beyond the C1 gives buyers genuine options — a dedicated work area, a proper dining zone that sits separately from the kitchen, or simply a living room that does not require furniture decisions to be made around available centimetres. At Ksh 7.0M (cash, lower floors) to Ksh 8.0M (instalment, upper floors), the C3 represents the strongest per-sqm value in the 1-bedroom range for buyers who want the room to live as well as sleep.
Two-Bedroom Apartments — four configurations:
B1 — 110 sqm — from Ksh 12.5M to Ksh 14.0M B3 — 110 sqm — from Ksh 12.5M to Ksh 14.0M B4 — 110 sqm — from Ksh 12.5M to Ksh 14.0M B2 — 115 sqm — from Ksh 13.0M to Ksh 14.2M
The 2-bedroom range at Lesonia Residency runs from 110 to 115 sqm — a size bracket that sits comfortably above the compressed layouts that Nairobi’s off-plan market often passes off as two-bedroom apartments. At 110 sqm, the B1, B3, and B4 configurations each give two bedrooms, a proper open-plan living and dining area, and the spatial generosity that lets a family or a professional couple live in the apartment without either party compromising on their daily routines.
The B2 at 115 sqm adds a further 5 sqm to the B1 footprint — a difference that, in a well-designed layout, distributes itself across the living zones in ways that make the apartment feel notably more spacious rather than marginally larger. The B2 range from Ksh 13.0M (cash, lower floors) to Ksh 14.2M (instalment, upper floors) reflects both the size premium and the floor-level premium for buyers who want height, city views, and the added resale value that upper-floor positions consistently carry in Kileleshwa’s established market.
For investors, the 2-bedroom range at Lesonia Residency targets the most consistently occupied segment of the Kileleshwa rental market. Corporate tenants, senior professionals, and expatriate couples all shortlist well-proportioned, well-finished two-bedroom apartments in this neighbourhood as their primary rental choice. With Kenton International School directly opposite and Box Mall 200 metres away, the building’s specific location gives every two-bedroom unit here a genuine locational advantage over comparable off-plan addresses in Kileleshwa.
Three-Bedroom Apartments — two configurations:
A1 — 150 sqm — from Ksh 17.1M to Ksh 18.3M A2 — 155 sqm — from Ksh 17.3M to Ksh 18.5M
The 3-bedroom configurations at Lesonia Residency represent the building’s most complete residential offering. At 150 and 155 sqm respectively, both the A1 and A2 give families genuine space to live — not simply enough rooms to sleep in, but the kind of floor area that allows a household to function with separate zones for work, rest, dining, and daily family life without those zones competing with each other. Full floor-to-ceiling windows, superior interior finishes, and the full amenity access that comes with the building give the 3-bedroom units a lifestyle package that few Kileleshwa off-plan developments can match at this price bracket.
At Ksh 17.1M (cash, floors 1-6) to Ksh 18.5M (instalment, upper floors), the A1 and A2 attract a buyer profile that includes returning diaspora families, senior corporate tenants, NGO professionals, and owner-occupiers who want a properly sized family home in a well-managed residential building with an international school at the front door. That profile is not price-sensitive in the way that smaller unit buyers often are — it is quality and location-sensitive, and Lesonia Residency addresses both directly.
Lesonia Residency delivers what the developer accurately describes as a resort-style living experience — and the amenity list supports that claim across four distinct categories. Every feature serves a purpose in residents’ daily lives, and several of them serve the investment case just as directly.
Wellness and Leisure:
Workspace and Connectivity:
Entertainment and Social Spaces:
Security and Infrastructure:
Two provisions stand out above the rest for buyers evaluating Lesonia Residency against competing Kileleshwa off-plan options. The first is the co-working and business centre combination — a serious workplace within the building itself, not just a lobby desk. The Kileleshwa tenant and buyer profile skews strongly toward professionals who work flexibly and need a building that accommodates their working day, not just their leisure time. Having a meeting room and co-working space on-site directly widens both the rental pool and the daily lifestyle quality for owner-occupiers.
The second is the EV charging station. Electric vehicles are entering Nairobi’s roads in growing numbers and the buildings that accommodate them today will hold a clear advantage in both the rental and resale markets over the medium term. Most Nairobi off-plan developments have not yet made that provision. Lesonia Residency has.
Gatundu Road sits within Kileleshwa — one of Nairobi’s quieter, greener, and more genuinely residential neighbourhoods. It does not carry the commercial density of Westlands, the traffic pressure of Upper Hill, or the rapid development pace that has changed the character of parts of Kilimani in recent years. Kileleshwa holds its residential identity firmly, and buyers and tenants who choose it consistently do so because they want to be close to everything the city offers while living on streets that still feel like streets rather than throughways.
The location profile around Lesonia Residency is one of the strongest of any currently available off-plan address in Nairobi. No competing development puts a buyer within five metres of Kenton International School, 200 metres of a major shopping mall, and 200 metres of a second major school simultaneously. That combination is not replicated elsewhere in Kileleshwa’s current off-plan market, and it underpins the rental premium and resale value that Lesonia Residency carries across all unit types.

The Walk Score of 100 that the developer records for this address is not a marketing claim — it reflects the physical reality of what sits within walking distance. Box Mall at 200 metres means a full retail run takes ten minutes on foot. Quickmart at 800 metres covers daily grocery needs without a car. An international school at 5 metres means the morning school run takes thirty seconds. For the expatriate and professional tenant profile that Kileleshwa draws consistently, that walkability is a deciding factor when choosing between otherwise comparable addresses. For investors, it translates directly into lower vacancy periods and stronger rental yields.
Lesonia Residency reaches completion in December 2028. The developer structures the payment plan around genuine flexibility — not a single mandatory schedule, but three distinct commitment levels that buyers choose based on their own financial position and cash flow preferences.
Payment structure:
20% initial deposit upon signing — this secures your preferred unit, floor level, and configuration immediately. No reservation fee on top.
The remaining 80% balance then runs across flexible monthly or quarterly instalments through to the December 2028 handover.
Three pricing tiers based on upfront commitment:
Payment 30% plan — you pay 30% of the unit price upfront and spread the balance in instalments. This carries the highest unit price across the range and suits buyers who prefer to preserve capital and spread exposure across the construction timeline.
Payment 50% plan — you pay 50% upfront and spread the remaining 50% in instalments. This mid-tier option gives a meaningful price reduction over the 30% plan and suits buyers who hold moderate liquidity and want a balance between upfront commitment and instalment spread.
Payment 100% plan — full cash purchase at the lowest price across the range. Buyers who pay in full upfront access the most competitive price available for each unit and floor combination. For investors with available capital, the 100% cash option delivers the strongest purchase price relative to expected rental yields and projected resale value at completion.
Prices also increase by floor level. Floors 1 to 6 carry the lowest prices, floors 7 to 11 sit in the mid-range, and floors 11 to 16 carry the highest prices — reflecting both the view premium and the consistent resale and rental premium that upper-floor positions command in Kileleshwa’s established residential market.
The practical entry point: a buyer securing the C2 1-bedroom unit on floors 1 to 6 under the 30% instalment plan commits Ksh 5.63M total, with a 20% initial deposit of approximately Ksh 1.26M at signing — and then spreads the balance monthly or quarterly across three-plus years of construction.

Lesonia Residency spans nine unit configurations across 16 floors — a meaningful range, but not an unlimited one. The configurations that combine the strongest features — upper floors, school-facing orientations, 3-bedroom layouts, and the full cash pricing advantage — attract early commitment from buyers who move decisively. Once specific floors and layouts close, they do not reopen.
I hold a current availability update for this project — including which specific unit types and floor levels remain open, which configurations deliver the strongest rental yield potential, and how the full payment structure and reservation process works in detail.
