Le’mac Towers, Nairobi
Le’mac is currently the tallest residential building in Kenya.
Le’mac Towers is a mixed-use development in the Westlands, Nairobi, off Waiyaki Way – targeting wealthy buyers and renters seeking housing in exclusive suburbs.
The 24-storey building, which officially opened in 2019, offers offices from the 1st to 6th floor and high-end one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments from the 8th to 22nd floor.
On the roof, the double-storey Le Mac Sky Club houses a gym, spa, steam and sauna rooms, lounges, a swimming pool and a rooftop restaurant.
The ground floor comprises the Le Mac café and a banking hall.
Standing 126 metres tall, Le’mac Towers is currently the tallest residential building in Kenya.
One of the striking features of the Lemac Towers is a transparent glass floor skywalk located on the 24th floor, offering a stunning view of cars moving over 100 metres below your feet.
The skywalk is a 60mm thick see-through glass floor standing out around the tower and is meant to beat the fear of heights, according to Ravi Vasta, a director of Mark Properties, the owners of the project.
The walkway is the first of its kind in East Africa.
“You no longer have to travel to spend a fortune to walk on a terrifying glass floor or bridge as it is right here in Nairobi,” Vasta said in an interview.
Le Mac Towers was designed by Sylvia Mueni, who owns Sycum Solutions Company.
The interiors of the building were designed by Susan Watts of Image360 Degrees – a firm celebrated for its innovative designs.
“Le’Mac is a statement of impeccable architecture with immense attention to detail and a fine blend of the spaces to allow functional flows while ensuring utmost privacy,” Mark Properties said on its website.
Construction of high-rise apartments is quickly gaining currency among Nairobi property developers as it offers the most efficient way of maximum land use in densely populated cities around the world.
By building multi-storey apartments, developers can distribute the land costs over the number of units in a building thus bringing down the cost per unit.
