Prime Studio Apartments in Riverside

Property Overview

The studio apartments at PAVO Riverside offer a compact yet contemporary investment opportunity in one of Nairobi’s established premium neighbourhoods. Located along Riverside Drive, PAVO is designed for buyers seeking an accessible entry point into the Riverside property market, with each studio measuring approximately 38 sqm. The residences are planned with an efficient open-plan layout incorporating a living and sleeping area, fitted kitchen and modern bathroom, complemented by large windows that bring in natural light. The apartments are positioned within a professionally managed development designed with both owner-occupiers and investors in mind. VAAL Real Estate promotes PAVO as an investment residence where owners can benefit from professional services including furnishing, tenant sourcing, rent collection and property management. The project is currently under construction, with completion targeted for Q4 2027 . The  starting prices are around KSh 6.8M, subject to unit availability and prevailing pricing.

Key Features

The studio apartments feature an open-plan living and sleeping area, modern fitted kitchen, built-in storage, contemporary bathroom and large windows designed to maximise natural lighting. Selected specifications include Bosch kitchen appliances, gypsum ceilings with integrated lighting, ceramic and wood-laminate flooring, modern sliding cabinets, reinforced entrance doors and video intercom systems. Provision is also made for a washing machine, adding practicality for both owner occupation and rental use.

Amenities

PAVO Riverside offers a broad selection of lifestyle and convenience facilities, including a heated swimming pool, fully equipped gym, residents’ lounge, private cinema, games room, sauna and steam rooms, BBQ area, children's play area, meeting room, prayer room, TV/media room and co-working facilities. The development also provides high-speed lifts, CCTV surveillance, video intercom, borehole water with filtration, full backup power, solar water heating and internet readiness.

Why Invest

The studio apartments provide a relatively accessible way to enter the Riverside property market, particularly for investors targeting professionals, expatriates and corporate tenants. Their compact size can make them easier to furnish and manage compared with larger residences, while the development’s extensive amenities add appeal for furnished and executive accommodation. VAAL promotes a professionally managed ownership model in which the company can assist with furnishing, finding tenants, collecting rent and servicing the residence. The  PAVO is designed around recurring rental income and cites potential earnings of up to USD 17,000 annually across its investment offering; these figures are projections and should not be treated as guaranteed returns.
