Cheval Riverside — Luxury 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments Opposite The Cube, Riverside Drive

Cheval Riverside is a 20-floor luxury high-rise directly opposite The Cube on Riverside Drive, with dual frontage stretching to Kirichwa Grove Road. Three architectural blocks — A, B, and C — are positioned across the site, with Block A’s rear units looking out over Lavington. A signature glass prism runs from rooftop to ground floor which pulling natural light into every level rather than just the top-floor units.

Starting from KES 8.3 Million | 1 & 2 bedrooms, with study options | Riverside Drive, Nairobi’s Blue Zone | KES 500,000 booking fee | Completion mid-2028

Every Unit Type at Cheval Riverside

Four configurations are on offer with each named for its finish tier as much as its bedroom count:

• 1 Bedroom Luxury — 62–70 sqm — from KES 8.3M to 8.5M
• 1 Bedroom + Study (Platinum) — 79–82 sqm — from KES 11.5M
• 2 Bedroom Luxury — 110–129 sqm — from KES 14M
• 2 Bedroom + Study (Platinum) — 124–138 sqm — from KES 18M

Every floor carries different unit sizes and pricing, so the ranges above should be treated as a starting guide rather than a fixed rate — worth confirming the specific floor and current pre-launch pricing directly, since early-stage pricing typically rises as the project moves through construction.

What “Luxury” and “Platinum” Actually Mean Here

Rather than a single finish level applied across the board, Cheval Riverside splits its units into two tiers. Luxury units cover the standard 1- and 2-bedroom layouts with high-end fittings throughout. Platinum units step up further, aimed at buyers who specifically want a home office or additional private space built into the unit rather than converted from a living area.

Amenities

Most of Cheval Riverside’s shared amenities sit on the upper levels:

• Infinity heated pool overlooking the Nairobi skyline
• Gym and yoga room
• Spa and massage suite
• Panoramic glass lifts—2 of the building’s 6 high-speed elevators are glass-fronted
• Clubhouse
• Children’s play area
• Residents’ lounge
• Intercom system and building-wide security

Why Riverside Drive, and What “Blue Zone” Means for Buyers

Riverside Drive is one of Nairobi’s most established diplomatic and corporate addresses. It commands premium rents from expatriates, diplomats, and senior professionals. The road’s Blue Zone designation isn’t a marketing term—it’s a security classification that the UN security teams, embassy security departments, and corporate housing providers recognize. It directly affects the category of tenant a building in this zone attracts. In practice, that means Cheval Riverside is in a great position to draw institutional and corporate housing inquiries that buildings outside the zone typically don’t see.

For an investment buyer, the more concrete comparison is this: completed, furnished two-bedroom units on Riverside Drive currently rent for roughly KES 180,000–280,000 per month. This is well above what the KES 8.3M off-plan entry price would suggest.
