Signature Architecture: The Glass Prism Tower
Cheval Riverside stands apart from anything else on Riverside Drive. The development’s defining feature is a dramatic central glass prism running from the rooftop down to the ground floor, channelling natural light through every level of the building. The result: bright, airy residences with a sense of openness rarely found in high-rise living.
The tower comprises three blocks — A, B, and C — oriented across the site:
Blocks B & C front Riverside Drive
Blocks A & B face Kirichwa Grove Road
Rear of Block A opens to sweeping views over Lavington (select 2-bedroom units)
Select upper-floor units enjoy panoramic skyline views across Lavington and the Nairobi cityscape.
