Eko Atlantic has become Nigeria’s most sought-after city for its high-end infrastructure, prestige and well-planned city layout as reflected in an eight-lane boulevard, about 13 internal bridges, underground cables and green footprints defined by over 30,000 trees.
Additionally, having a building in the city has become a fad among the ‘big boys,’ as was the case with Old Ikoyi, Victoria Garden City (VGC), Osborne Foreshore, and now Banana Island.
“It has become ‘I belong’ and prestige mentality among the big firms,” Adeniyi Fowowe, an estate developer, noted.
Before now, Kingsway and Ozumba Mbadiwe Street in Victoria Island were the go-to locations for high-rise office buildings. These locations are homes to iconic developments such as Kingsway Towers, Heritage Place, Fanfa Towers, The Wings, The Waves, among others, making them Nigeria’s equivalent of Silicon Valley.
