Balkis Residences

Project Snapshot

A Development Designed for Elevated Urban Living

Balkis Residences Riverside is built for people who want city convenience without giving up comfort. Riverside offers proximity to diplomatic missions, international organisations and corporate offices, along with a good choice of dining and lifestyle destinations.

The development reflects that setting. A hotel-style grand lobby sets the tone on arrival, a landscaped courtyard provides open green space, and rooftop gardens and a Zen garden offer quiet places to unwind. The restaurant and café, convenience store and business lounge mean that many daily needs can be met without leaving the building.

It is a development for people who value a refined, well-serviced setting in one of Nairobi’s most established neighbourhoods.

Unit Types

Balkis Residences Riverside offers eight apartment types. The prices below are starting prices.

1 Bedroom and 1 Bedroom + Study: Well suited to young professionals, individuals and couples, and to investors looking for an accessible entry point. The study option adds room for a home office.

2 Bedroom range: Five variations give buyers a real choice, from the Classic through to the Plus, Premium and the DSQ and study options. They work for small families, sharers, and professionals who want extra space.

3 Bedroom + DSQ: The largest residence in the development, designed for families who want generous living space and the convenience of staff accommodation.

Payment Plan

Balkis Residences Riverside offers a structured plan designed to make an off-plan purchase easier to manage:

• Initial payment: Special prices are based on a 30% initial payment.
• Balance: A flexible balance payment plan is available up to completion.
• Completion: March 2028.

Buyers should ask for the latest price list and payment schedule for their chosen unit type before making a commitment.

Why It Works for Homeowners

• A wide choice of layouts. With eight unit types, you can match the apartment to your household, from a single professional to a family with live-in support.
• Lifestyle on your doorstep. Pool, padel court, gym, sauna, yoga room, restaurant and café are all within the development.
• Space to work and unwind. The business lounge, landscaped courtyard and rooftop gardens give you options beyond your own front door.
• Family-friendly features. A children’s play area and DSQ options on the larger units make everyday family life easier.
• Everyday reassurance. Backup power, CCTV, round-the-clock security and ample parking support a calm daily routine.
• A structured way to buy. The 30% initial payment and balance plan up to completion let you plan your finances over the build period.

Why It Works for Investors

• An established location. Riverside’s mix of embassies, international communities and corporate offices supports demand from professionals and international residents.
• Entry points across the range. Starting prices run from KES 7.86M for a one-bedroom to KES 25.83M for a three-bedroom with DSQ, so investors can choose a ticket size that fits their strategy.
• Amenities that tenants look for. Pool, gym, backup power, security and parking are features many tenants value.
• Flexible off-plan structure. The balance can be paid up to completion in March 2028.
• Dual-purpose potential. The development works as a home to occupy or an apartment to let.

As with any property purchase, rental income and long-term value will depend on the unit, market conditions and how the property is managed. We recommend reviewing the latest pricing and payment schedule and considering your own investment goals before committing.

Finishes and Specifications

Detailed finishes are shared in the developer’s brochure. The development is described as premium and contemporary, with hotel-style communal spaces including the grand lobby. Buyers should request the full specification sheet and floor plans for their chosen unit type.
