About the 1-Bedroom Apartment
The 1-bedroom layouts at Pavo Riverside run from 50 sqm to 61 sqm, or roughly 538 to 657 sq ft, which is generous for a one-bedroom home in this part of Westlands. The plan is open, with the living and dining areas flowing into one another and large French windows carrying daylight through the space. It is the larger of the two layouts in the building; the smaller is the 38 sqm studio from USD 52,440.
Finishes are specified across the development rather than by unit type: a fitted kitchen with integrated German Bosch appliances and sliding cabinetry, a heavy-duty Turkish steel-reinforced entrance door by Emec, wood laminate and ceramic flooring, gypsum ceilings with recessed lighting, and Cera Style sanitary ware in the bathroom.
Pavo Riverside is priced in US dollars. The 1-bedroom starts at USD 67,500, and the developer notes that prices scale with floor level and unit orientation, so the exact figure for a specific unit and a specific size within the 50 to 61 sqm range is confirmed on enquiry. Where a shilling equivalent appears on a listing card or in a brochure, treat it as an approximate conversion at whatever rate applied when it was written; the dollar amount is the one that governs, and the shilling sum you actually pay depends on the rate on the day of payment.
About Pavo Riverside
Pavo Riverside is a 200-unit residential building by VAAL Real Estate, under construction on Riverside Drive with handover projected for December 2027. The name comes from Pavo, the star constellation named after the peacock, and the architecture reads as layers of white and grey lit by expansive glass walls. The development holds studios and 1-bedroom apartments only. This listing covers the 1-bedroom; the full scheme is set out on the Pavo Riverside development page.

- Private resident cinema, a games room, and a residents’ lounge with a BBQ area.
- Backup generator and borehole, plus solar water heating.

Location and Connectivity
Riverside Drive is a leafy, established address between Westlands and the city centre. It sits in what is locally called the Blue Zone, which is shorthand for the diplomatic quarter: a concentration of missions and the heavier security presence that comes with them. The embassies of the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, Uganda, Zambia and the Philippines are among those nearby.
Drive times published for the development:
- 3 minutes to Riverside Square and Chiromo Road.
- 5 minutes to Westlands CBD, Lavington and the Nairobi Expressway.
- 8 minutes to the Arboretum and Kasuku Centre.
The Investment Case
On the investment case we keep our guidance honest: we do not publish rental yields, occupancy figures or capital-appreciation forecasts, because those depend on the market at the time you buy, let and eventually sell, and no one can guarantee them. What can be said plainly is that this is a 1-bedroom apartment of 50 to 61 sqm on Riverside Drive in Westlands, in a 200-unit building by VAAL Real Estate, fitted with a Bosch-equipped kitchen, Cera Style sanitary ware and an Emec steel-reinforced entrance door, priced from USD 67,500, with handover projected for December 2027 and shared amenities that include a rooftop heated pool, a gym, a resident cinema, a backup generator and a borehole. We are glad to help you review comparable sales and lettings and connect you with independent advisers.
If you are considering a furnished or short-let strategy, note that this depends on the building’s management rules and on applicable regulations — worth confirming before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the 1-bedroom apartment at Pavo Riverside?
The 1-bedroom layouts run from 50 sqm to 61 sqm, which is roughly 538 to 657 sq ft. The exact size depends on the unit, and we confirm it for a specific apartment on enquiry.
How much does a 1-bedroom at Pavo Riverside cost?
The 1-bedroom apartments start from USD 67,500. VAAL Real Estate scales prices by floor level and unit orientation, so the exact figure for a specific unit is confirmed on enquiry.
Is the price in US dollars or Kenyan shillings?
The price is quoted and governed in US dollars, from USD 67,500. Any shilling figure you see on a listing card or in a brochure is an approximate conversion at whatever rate applied when it was written, and the shilling sum you actually pay depends on the exchange rate on the day of payment. Confirm the accepted payment currency with us before you commit.
Can I buy from abroad?
Yes. Buyers based outside Kenya reserve off-plan units here regularly and the process can be handled remotely. We can send the current price list and payment schedule, take you through the renders and construction progress by video, and coordinate the reservation and sale agreement with your own advocate. Confirm the payment route and any bank requirements with us before you transfer funds.
How many bathrooms does the 1-bedroom have?
The bathroom count is not published for this layout, so we do not state one here. Ask us and we will confirm it against the developer floor plan for the specific unit you are considering.
When will Pavo Riverside be completed?
The development is under construction by VAAL Real Estate, with handover projected for December 2027. That date is the one published for the development as a whole and it applies to the 1-bedroom apartments.
Can I furnish the apartment and let it out on a short-let basis?
That depends on the building’s management rules and on the regulations in force at the time, and neither is settled by this listing. We do not promise short-let income or occupancy levels. Confirm the position in writing with the developer and the management company before you buy.
