One Bedroom Plus a Dedicated Study. A 20-Storey Glass-Prism Tower with an Infinity Heated Pool, a Spa, and Panoramic Glass Elevators. Riverside Drive. From KES 10.14M Off-Plan. A Platinum 1-bedroom apartment with a dedicated study — 77 to 82 sqm — in a 20-storey glass-prism tower in the Riverside diplomatic zone of Westlands, with dual frontage on Riverside Drive and Kirichwa Grove Road. The study is not a desk in the corner of the living room. It is a separate, dedicated room — the second room that transforms a 1-bedroom into a flexible, professional-grade home without the price tag of a 2-bedroom. The building features a futuristic curvilinear façade with a signature central glass prism that channels natural light from rooftop to ground floor. Two rooftop levels house an infinity heated swimming pool, a gym, a yoga and wellness studio, a spa with massage suites, and a residents' clubhouse. Six high-speed elevators including two panoramic glass elevators. Four levels of secure parking. 24/7 security. Completing mid-2028. At 77–82 sqm with a dedicated study, the Platinum sits between the Luxury 1-bedroom and the 2-bedroom — the configuration for the buyer who needs more than one room but doesn't need two full bedrooms. The study earns. The study hosts. The study works. And the building it sits inside will be unlike anything else on Riverside Drive. The Study: Why the Platinum Configuration Is the Smartest Buy in the Building The study is a room, not a suggestion. A walled, separate space with a door — designed as a study from the floor plan outward, not carved from a corridor or borrowed from the living area. At 77–82 sqm, the Platinum delivers a proper 1-bedroom apartment plus a proper study, each with the proportions that a smaller footprint would force into compromise. For the professional who works from home, the study pays for itself. The separation between living and working is not a luxury — it is a productivity requirement. The study door closes. The video call happens without the kitchen in the background. The work stays in one room and the life stays in the other. For the remote worker, the consultant, or the entrepreneur, the study is the office that's already bought and paid for — inside a building with a co-working alternative on the rooftop clubhouse level if variety is needed. For the investor, the study converts to a second sleeping space. A Platinum 1-bedroom + study listed on Airbnb as a "1-bedroom with office" or furnished with a sofa bed as a "flexible 2-bedroom" commands a nightly rate 20–30% higher than a standard 1-bedroom — at a purchase price significantly below the actual 2-bedroom. The study is the room that closes the yield gap. For the owner-occupier, the study is the guest room that doesn't sacrifice the home office. Parents visiting. A friend in town. The study accommodates the overnight guest without converting the workspace, without displacing the routine, and without the homeowner losing a room they use daily. The Glass-Prism Tower Futuristic curvilinear architecture with a signature central glass prism — the design that makes this building recognisable on the Nairobi skyline and floods every floor with natural light. Three blocks across 20 floors: Blocks B & C face Riverside Drive — the prestige frontage Blocks A & B face Kirichwa Grove Road — the quieter residential orientation Rear of Block A overlooks the Lavington skyline — panoramic views toward one of Nairobi's greenest neighbourhoods Dual frontage on Riverside Drive and Kirichwa Grove Road, directly opposite The Cube. The Rooftop: Levels 21 and 22 Infinity heated swimming pool — rooftop, heated, with Nairobi skyline views. Fully equipped gym — professional fitness at elevation. Yoga and wellness studio — dedicated space for mindfulness and practice. Spa with massage suites — in-building wellness. No commute. No membership. Residents' clubhouse and lounge — the social anchor for the building's community. Two panoramic glass elevators — the ride through the building is part of the experience. The Riverside Diplomatic Zone Riverside is Nairobi's diplomatic enclave — embassies, international organisations, and corporate headquarters concentrated in the city's most secure and prestigious neighbourhood.

The Investment Case Off-plan pricing delivers the capital appreciation window. Purchase at KES 10.14M–12.23M today; the building completes mid-2028. Every construction milestone — foundation, structure, façade, amenity fit-out — lifts the market value above the off-plan entry point. The capital gain between purchase and handover is the return that only off-plan timing provides. The Platinum is the yield optimiser. At 77–82 sqm with a study, the Platinum commands rental rates close to the 2-bedroom — at a purchase price 30–40% lower. The yield percentage is structurally higher. The study converts to a second sleeping space for short-stay listings, pushing Airbnb nightly rates into boutique-hotel territory. The rooftop amenities — heated infinity pool, spa, panoramic elevators — provide the listing photographs that drive bookings. Riverside rental demand is diplomatic and corporate. The tenant base is expatriate, embassy-linked, and on institutional housing allowances — the most reliable, highest-paying segment of the Nairobi rental market. This building, in this location, with this specification, will sit at the top of every housing search.
