A portion of Nairobi’s Le’Mac Tower, valued at about $41.5 million, is set to be sold at auction after the developer was placed under administration following unpaid obligations. The move brings renewed focus to one of the city’s better-known high-rise developments in Westlands.

Auctioneers Garam Investments said they will sell 40 two-bedroom apartments spread across multiple floors of the 24-story mixed-use tower, along with five commercial units owned by Mark Prime Properties Limited. The move comes as creditors seek to recover outstanding debts from the company now under administration.

Westlands mixed-use tower structure details

The sale returns attention to a project originally developed by Mark Properties and completed at an estimated cost of $41.5 million. Backed by private equity, the development was positioned for buyers seeking upscale residential and office space in Nairobi’s Westlands district, a fast-growing commercial hub.

Although construction was completed in 2015, the building officially opened in 2019 and now combines office and residential use under one roof. Office space occupies the lower floors, from the first to the sixth, while apartments run from the eighth to the 22nd floor. The ground level includes retail space, a café and a banking hall, reflecting its mixed-use design.

Double-storey amenity level features

At the top of the tower sits a double-storey leisure section known as the Sky Club, fitted with a gym, spa, steam and sauna rooms, lounges, a swimming pool and a rooftop restaurant. Rising about 126 metres, the building is among the taller residential towers in Kenya and has become a familiar part of the Westlands skyline.

One of its defining features is a glass-floored skywalk on the upper levels, designed to give visitors a direct view of traffic far below through reinforced glass panels. Mark Properties, founded in 2004, built the project as a flagship development aimed at expatriates, diplomats and professionals seeking a single-address lifestyle in Nairobi’s upper-end housing market.
