Westlands Area Profile

Westlands is Nairobi's second business district: office towers, hotels, Sarit Centre and Westgate, the Waiyaki Way corridor and the Nairobi Expressway all converge here, and residential towers have risen alongside them.

In brief

Westlands is Nairobi's main commercial hub outside the CBD, combining office towers, malls and hotels with modern residential apartments. It has some of the strongest rental demand in the city because of the number of people working within walking distance.
