Cheval Riverside

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Elevated Urban Living

Cheval Riverside is built around the idea of a hotel-style residence. The curvilinear façade and the central glass prism bring daylight down through the core of the building, and the rooftop gives residents a place to swim, train and unwind above the city.

The tower is arranged in three blocks. Blocks A and B face Kirichwa Grove Road on the quieter side, Blocks B and C face Riverside Drive, and the rear of Block A looks out towards Lavington. Views differ by block and floor.

Unit Types

Prices rise with the floor. The ranges below run from the entry floors to the top floors.

Luxury 1 Bedroom, 62 to 72 sqm. The way into the tower, from KES 8,505,000 on the lowest floors to KES 10,452,000 at the top. It has a bedroom, a living room and a dining area, with full use of the rooftop pool, gym and spa. This is the largest group in the building, at 200 units.

Platinum 1 Bedroom + Study, 77 to 82 sqm. A one bedroom with a separate study that works as a home office or a guest room, from KES 10,140,000 to KES 12,231,000. It gives much of the flexibility of a two bedroom for about KES 4.7M less than the entry two bedroom. There are 80 of these units.

Location Advantage

Cheval Riverside is on Riverside Drive in the Riverside area of Westlands, among embassies, international organisations and corporate offices, about 100 metres from The Cube.

• The Cube: about 100 m
• Sarit Centre: about 1.4 km
• Kenton College: about 1.4 km
• Westgate Mall: about 1.7 km
• Westlands centre: about 1.9 km
• MP Shah Hospital: about 2 km
• Nairobi Arboretum: about 2 km
• Aga Khan University Hospital: about 3.3 km
• Nairobi CBD: about 3.7 km
• UN offices, Gigiri: about 4.4 km
• International School of Kenya: about 5.5 km
• JKIA: about 16 km

These are straight-line distances from the site. Road distances are longer, and travel times vary with Westlands traffic.

Payment Plan

Cheval Riverside is sold off plan.

• Booking fee: USD 5,000 (about KES 645,000 at an indicative exchange rate) to reserve your unit
• Deposit: 20 to 30% on signing the sale agreement
• Balance: instalments through construction to completion
• Completion: mid-2028 (target)

The booking fee is set in US dollars, so the shilling amount depends on the exchange rate on the day you pay.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A distinctive address on Riverside Drive, with Sarit Centre about 1.4 km away
• A heated infinity pool, gym, yoga studio and spa on your own rooftop
• A study in the Platinum layout, so you can work from home without moving up to a two bedroom
• 24/7 security, borehole water and a full backup generator
• Four levels of secure parking

Why It Works for Investors

Cheval Riverside’s case is address and amenity: a distinctive tower with a hotel-grade rooftop, in an area where embassies, international organisations and corporate offices support steady demand for quality rentals. One bedrooms are the entry point to the tower, from KES 8,505,000.

The developer markets the building as a hotel-style residence suited to short stays. Check the sale agreement and the building rules for any limits on short-term letting before you plan around it. As an off-plan purchase targeting mid-2028, weigh the developer’s record and the construction programme, and treat rents and resale values as unguaranteed.

Finishes and Specifications

• Curvilinear glass façade with a central glass prism that brings daylight into the core of the building
• Balconies and wide glazing, with views that vary by block and floor
• Bedroom, living room and dining area in both layouts, plus a study in the Platinum 1 Bedroom
• Six high-speed lifts, including two panoramic glass lifts
• Four levels of secure parking
• 24/7 security with CCTV, borehole water and a full backup generator
• Two-level rooftop with a heated infinity pool, gym, yoga studio, spa and clubhouse

Who This Development Suits Best

• Investors who want a Riverside address with rooftop amenities that stand out in a rental listing
• Professionals working in Westlands, Riverside or along the UN corridor
• Remote workers who want a study at home
• Diaspora buyers building a Nairobi portfolio, with the purchase handled remotely

It suits less well buyers who need to move in before mid-2028, anyone who wants a garden or a standalone home, and buyers who need two or more bedrooms.
