Sarit Centre · 3-min walk

RAPTOR ROAD · WESTLANDS · NAIROBI
In the diplomatic corridor, on the corner that walks to everything.
Premium apartments in the neighbourhoods where the diplomatic community, UN families, corporate expatriates, and discerning Kenyan families choose to live. Raptor Road, Westlands, Nairobi · LR No. 1870/IV/237.
The address chose us
Westlands is Nairobi's strongest premium-residential address.
Westlands is the diplomatic-and-commercial seam of Nairobi. Within fifteen walking minutes of Raptor Road sit two regional malls, two private hospitals, three diplomatic missions, the deepest cluster of premium dining in the city, and the connecting infrastructure that links north to Gigiri and south to the central business district. The area is neither sprawl nor speculation. It is built, occupied, and tested.
Premium-rental demand here is established rather than emerging. UN and embassy staff cycle through three-to-five-year postings. Expatriate professionals consolidate on indefinite contracts. Returning diaspora buy a primary residence rather than rent one. Each cohort competes for the same constrained pool of well-built vertical stock — a pool that cannot grow as quickly as its waiting list, because the plot grain on Raptor Road and its adjacent lanes will not allow it.
Vertical living in Westlands is no longer the alternative to a house in Lavington. For many buyers, it is the better instrument: closer to work, closer to schools, closer to healthcare, closer to flight, and easier to lock when it sits empty for a season. The Dagaz is our argument for what a residence on this street can be.

Diplomatic adjacency
Nine minutes to the UN compound. Fifteen to most embassies.
Westlands sits between Gigiri to the north and the embassy cluster on Riverside and Upper Hill to the south. For diplomatic and UN buyers on rotation, the practical case is short: a residence here removes the morning commute without adding to the after-school one.
