From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Westlands is a suburb of Nairobi that was until the early 1980s composed of residential homes and a few shops which has now developed into a major commercial and economic area that rivals the Central Business District of Nairobi. It was initially considered part of the Parklands area and straddled what is now Waiyaki Way, originally the Kenya Uganda Railway.

Amongst the first buildings to develop in Westlands were the Sarit Centre and the Mall.
