Solitaire World Class Apartments in Nairobi

In Nairobi, apartments are the preferred choice of most young individuals or families and nearly every week, there is an announcement of a new apartments project getting underway or coming onto the market. Knowing that buyers have an array of choices to pick from, developers are pulling all the stops to make their developments the preferred choice. Part of their strategy is to pick highly experienced consultants especially for architectural and interior design services. They are also travelling widely to more sophisticated markets such as Dubai and Europe to see the latest concepts in apartments. By incorporating the latest designs and amenities, they hope to attract buyers faster and recoup their investment within a short period.

Another factor they are considering is the location. No matter how sophisticated the development is, location will determine the kind of clientele it will attract. It would be foolhardy to invest huge sums of money in a development targeting high end customers without considering where such customers prefer to live.

Clearly, the developers of Solitaire Apartments in Nairobi’s Westlands area have taken all these factors into account. Choosing a site on General Mathenge Drive, a quiet, lush green section of Westlands, they have got the location absolutely right. With the bustling Westlands  “Central Business District” a mere five minutes away, Solitaire is located within the vicinity of Nairobi’s finest restaurants, bars, hotels, shopping malls, office parks, schools and hospitals. The development, which consists of spacious 4 bedroom duplex apartments, has been skillfully designed so that all apartments benefit from panoramic views, while retaining ample greenery. The living space, amenities, specifications and finishes for Solitaire have been thoroughly detailed to ensure the aspirations and expectations of residents are exceeded.

 

Notes the developer: “The specifications have been carefully detailed and the fittings and finishes imported from Europe. A unique feature of the development is the array of indigenous trees within the 1.3 acre plot. This, together with the low footprint area adds to the serenity and character of Solitaire.”

 

But these are not the only unique aspects of Solitaire. Unlike in many competing properties, residents and visitors to Solitaire will find the reassuring presence of a concierge desk at the entrance. The desk will be manned on a 24-hour basis to guarantee security and convenience for residents and their visitors.

All the four bedrooms are ensuite, with abundant natural light coming through ceiling to floor windows and doors.
