The Homes at Cheval Riverside
Three layouts are on the current schedule, each offered across Blocks A, B and C, with different views depending on the block and floor.
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, with full use of the rooftop pool, gym and spa.
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.
Luxury 2 Bedroom, 110 to 129 sqm
The largest layout on the current schedule, from KES 14,850,000 to KES 19,430,400. At 110 sqm and up it is larger than most Westlands two-bedrooms, with room for a family or for two sharers.
Platinum 2 Bedroom: ask about availability
The developer’s April 2026 launch schedule also listed a Platinum 2 Bedroom of 124 to 138 sqm from KES 18.6M. It is not on the current price schedule, so ask Block Real Estate whether it is still offered.
Architecture: A Glass-Prism Tower in Three Blocks
The design is built around a curvilinear façade and a central glass prism that brings daylight down through the core of the building. 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.
Amenities at Cheval Riverside
The rooftop is the centrepiece: two full levels, 21 and 22, given over to wellness and social space, above a building run as a hotel-style residence.

Payment Plan
Cheval Riverside is sold off plan, with a fixed booking fee, a deposit on signing and the balance spread over the construction period.

- 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. The developer’s April 2026 launch schedule quoted a December 2028 handover, while the current schedule states mid-2028, so confirm the completion date in writing before you pay.
Why Cheval Riverside?
- A 20-storey glass-prism tower on Riverside Drive, next to The Cube

Cheval Riverside for Investors
Cheval Riverside’s case is address and amenity: a distinctive tower on Riverside Drive with a hotel-grade rooftop, in an area where embassies, international organisations and corporate offices keep demand for quality rentals steady. In our view, a well-finished one-bedroom here should let for about KES 65,000 to 90,000 a month unfurnished, so at an illustrative KES 65,000 a one-bedroom bought at KES 8.5M would gross about 9% a year before costs. 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.
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.
Who Cheval Riverside 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 who want a one-bedroom or a home office
- Diaspora buyers building a Nairobi portfolio, with the purchase handled remotely
- Families who want a two-bedroom of 110 sqm or more in a secure, central location
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 three bedrooms.
Due Diligence
Confirm the booking fee, deposit, completion date and unit availability in writing, and have your own advocate review the sale agreement and title before you sign. Block Real Estate can introduce you to qualified property lawyers.
