The 1-Bedrooms Sold Out. This Is Now the Entry Point into Riverside Drive's Most Exclusive Low-Density Development. 132–182 sqm. DSQ. European Kitchen. Sky Gardens. From KES 33.8M.
A 2-bedroom apartment with DSQ — from 132 to 182 sqm — in a completed, low-density development of only 95 residences on Riverside Drive, Nairobi's diplomatic and corporate corridor. Built by a US developer. Designed by a London and Swiss design team. Constructed to international engineering standards with no external financing. The building is complete. The 1-bedrooms are sold out. The 2-bedroom is now the way in.
Open-plan kitchen fitted with European appliances. High ceilings. Floor-to-ceiling windows. Spacious balconies with city skyline or courtyard garden views. DSQ with private access. Well-ventilated laundry yard. Open-air architectural design that channels natural breezes through every residence. Each unit features a unique floor plan — no two apartments in the building are identical.
East and West Sky Gardens. Manicured courtyard garden. Fully equipped gym. Steam, massage, and sauna rooms. Executive meeting rooms. Electric vehicle charging stations. 24/7 CCTV and manned security. Borehole water. 2 high-speed lifts. Ample resident and visitor parking.
132–182 sqm: Two to Three Times the Size of a Typical Nairobi 2-Bedroom
Most 2-bedroom apartments in Nairobi measure 70–110 sqm. The smallest 2-bedroom in this development starts at 132 sqm. The largest reaches 182 sqm. At the upper end, this 2-bedroom is larger than most Nairobi 3-bedrooms — and it comes with a DSQ, a European-fitted kitchen, and the amenity package of a five-star residential club.
The size is not padding. It is design. High ceilings create volume. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each room with natural light. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area flows into spacious balconies — city skyline on one side, manicured courtyard on the other. The bedrooms are suites, not rooms. The master ensuite is the private retreat that the word implies. The DSQ with its own private access provides live-in staff accommodation or a self-contained studio.
Multiple configurations are available across the size and price range. Each floor and orientation produces a different layout, a different view, and a different relationship with the light. The buyer chooses the configuration that matches how they live — not the one the developer decided everyone should live in.
Only 95 Units: The Low-Density Advantage That Changes Everything
Comparable buildings on Riverside Drive pack 150–200+ units into the same footprint. This development chose to build 95. Nearly half the density of its neighbours. The decision was made at the design stage and cannot be reversed — it is locked into the structure of the building permanently.
Fewer units means: fewer people in the lift. Fewer cars in the parking. A quieter lobby. A pool that isn't crowded on Saturday morning. A gym where every machine is available. Corridors that feel like a private floor, not a hotel hallway. The low density is not a marketing line — it is the lived experience of every resident, every day.
For the investor, low density commands a rental premium. The expatriate tenant, the diplomat, the corporate executive relocating to Nairobi — they have seen high-density buildings. They have lived in them. When they walk into a 95-unit building with sky gardens, a courtyard, and the breathing space that low density provides, they pay more. And they stay longer.
US-Built, London/Swiss-Designed: International Standards, Not Aspirational Marketing
The developer is American. The design team is London and Swiss. The engineering standards are international. This is not a Nairobi building aspiring to international quality. It is an international building that happens to be in Nairobi.
Fully funded with no external financing — the development was built with the developer's own capital, not bank loans. No financing pressure. No corner-cutting to meet debt repayment schedules. No compromise on materials to protect margins. The developer built the building they wanted to live in — and said so publicly.
The open-air design is the architectural signature. Instead of sealed corridors and mechanical ventilation, the building channels Riverside Drive's natural breezes through every residence. The result is a home that breathes — fresh air, natural light, and the connection to the outdoor environment that most apartment buildings engineer out of existence.
Riverside Drive: The Address That Rents Itself
Riverside Drive is Nairobi's diplomatic and corporate residential corridor. Embassies, UN agencies, multinational headquarters, and international schools line the road and its surroundings. The tenant profile is institutional: diplomats on housing allowances, corporate executives on relocation packages, expatriate families with school-age children. These tenants don't negotiate on rent — they negotiate on quality. And they renew.
The location connects to everything that matters. Westlands CBD is minutes away. The Nairobi CBD and Upper Hill are a short drive east. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is 21.7 km via the expressway. The National Museum is 5 km. KICC is 9.8 km. International schools, Nairobi Hospital, and the city's premier dining and retail destinations are all within the immediate catchment.
Riverside's tree-lined, low-traffic character is the reason the diplomatic community chose it — and the reason they stay. The serenity, the security, and the green canopy that defines the neighbourhood cannot be replicated in newer, denser parts of the city. A 2-bedroom with DSQ on Riverside Drive, in a completed 95-unit building with international specification, rents to a tenant pool that most Nairobi addresses cannot access.
The Apartment
Open-plan kitchen with European appliances — the kitchen that looks, feels, and functions like a European home. Fitted to international specification with the brands and the build quality that discerning buyers expect.
High ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows — the volume and light that transform a room from a space into an experience. Natural light from morning to evening. The Nairobi skyline or the courtyard garden framed by full-height glazing.
Spacious balconies — generous outdoor living with city skyline views (east orientation) or courtyard garden views (west orientation). The balconies are designed to be used — not token outdoor spaces, but rooms without a roof.
DSQ with private access — self-contained staff quarters with independent entry. Live-in housekeeper, nanny, or a self-contained studio for an additional income stream.
Master ensuite bedroom — the private suite with its own bathroom. The proportions of a room designed for rest, not storage.
The Amenities
East and West Sky Gardens — elevated green spaces on both sides of the building. Outdoor retreats at altitude with views across Riverside and beyond.
Manicured courtyard garden — the green heart of the development. Landscaped grounds, serene pathways, and the natural calm that 95-unit density makes possible.
Fully equipped gym — modern fitness facilities within the building.
Steam, massage, and sauna rooms — the wellness suite that eliminates the external spa membership.
Executive meeting rooms — professional meeting space within the building for residents who work from home or host clients.
Electric vehicle charging stations — future-proofed infrastructure for the EV transition.
24/7 CCTV and manned security — UN-level security with gated entrance, round-the-clock patrols, and discreet access control.
Borehole water supply — reliable water independent of county provision.
