A Development Designed for Modern Business
The Convex has been designed around the requirements of modern commercial occupiers: connectivity, accessibility, security, flexibility and reliable building services.
Its Riverside Drive setting places businesses close to Nairobi’s major commercial and residential districts without requiring them to operate directly within the busiest sections of the CBD.
The office environment is professional and contemporary, with good natural light, ventilation and supporting infrastructure intended to create a comfortable working environment for both employees and visiting clients.
With approximately 300,000 sq ft of commercial space across 11 floors, The Convex is capable of accommodating businesses at different stages of growth while retaining the character of a high-quality corporate address.
The available 2,500 sq ft third-floor unit is particularly suitable for a company seeking enough space for a combination of private offices, workstations, meeting rooms, collaborative areas and reception facilities.

Location Advantage
Riverside Drive, Nairobi
One of The Convex’s strongest advantages is its location.
Riverside Drive sits between several of Nairobi’s most important commercial and residential districts, providing relatively convenient connections to Westlands, Lavington, Kilimani and Nairobi CBD.
For businesses whose employees, clients or partners move frequently between different parts of Nairobi, this central positioning can provide a practical operational advantage.
The neighbourhood has also developed into a recognised business and diplomatic address, with embassies, hotels, restaurants, banks, serviced apartments and professional offices located throughout the Riverside area.
Key Road Connections
The development benefits from access towards:
- Riverside Drive
- Waiyaki Way / A104
- Nairobi Expressway
- Uhuru Highway
- Westlands
- Nairobi CBD
- Lavington
- Kilimani
The multiple approach routes make the building accessible by both private and public transport.
Diplomatic and Business Environment
The wider Riverside area is home to a number of diplomatic and international institutions, including the Australian High Commission and Netherlands Embassy within the broader neighbourhood.
This makes the location particularly relevant for businesses working in professional services, consulting, development, international organisations, finance, technology and related sectors.
Nearby Hotels and Restaurants
The surrounding area provides useful options for business lunches, visiting partners and corporate accommodation, including establishments such as:
- PrideInn Lantana
- Gemsuites Riverside
- Tulips Restaurant
- Barbarossa Lounge
Additional restaurants, cafés, banks, gyms and everyday services are available throughout Riverside and neighbouring Westlands.
Transport Connectivity
Indicative access provided for the area includes:
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport: approximately 35 minutes by road under favourable traffic conditions.
Nairobi Central Railway Station: approximately 18 minutes by public transport according to supplied location information.
Riverside Drive Bus Stop: approximately 8 minutes’ walk.
Travel times in Nairobi vary significantly depending on traffic and time of day and should therefore be treated as indicative.
Payment Plan
As this is a commercial office rental rather than a property purchase, the applicable terms will be determined through the lease agreement.
Current Asking Rate
Base Rent: KSh 105 per sq ft
Service Charge: KSh 15 per sq ft
Combined: KSh 120 per sq ft
For a 2,500 sq ft office, this equates to approximately:
KSh 300,000 per month before applicable taxes, parking and other agreed charges.
Prospective tenants should request the latest lease proposal confirming:
- Security deposit
- Lease duration
- Rent payment frequency
- Rent escalation terms
- Parking allocation and cost
- VAT treatment
- Fit-out period, where applicable
- Fit-out approvals
- Signage provisions
- Utility arrangements
- Lease commencement date
All commercial terms remain subject to confirmation and negotiation at point of enquiry.
Why It Works for Business Occupiers
A Central Nairobi Business Address
Riverside provides companies with access to Westlands, the CBD, Lavington and Kilimani without positioning the office directly within the highest-density parts of central Nairobi.
Appropriate Size for Growing Teams
At 2,500 sq ft, the office offers enough space to create a balanced workplace comprising workstations, private offices, meeting rooms and collaborative areas.
The final layout will depend on the tenant’s preferred fit-out.
Strong Supporting Infrastructure
Standby power, borehole water, passenger lifts, security systems and parking all contribute to business continuity and employee convenience.
Professional Client Environment
For companies that regularly host meetings, clients or international partners, the quality of the building and its Riverside location help provide an appropriately professional setting.
Access to Staff Amenities
Restaurants, hotels, banking services, gyms and residential neighbourhoods are available within Riverside and the surrounding Westlands area, supporting both daily operations and employee convenience.
Why It Works for Investors and Business Decision-Makers
For a business choosing between Nairobi office locations, the decision goes beyond rent per square foot.
Accessibility, building quality, employee convenience, infrastructure and the ability to accommodate future organisational needs all influence long-term occupancy value.
The Convex benefits from being located within an established commercial district where corporate offices, diplomatic institutions, hospitality businesses and premium residential developments already coexist.
The KSh 120 per sq ft combined rent and service charge also makes the cost structure relatively straightforward to assess when comparing the property with other Grade A offices in Riverside, Westlands and neighbouring commercial districts.
Prospective tenants should nevertheless compare total occupancy costs, lease escalations, parking, fit-out requirements and contractual terms before making a final decision.
