As developers focus on building high-rise residential buildings in the commercial centre of Nigeria, Lagos, new apartment towers continue to rise.
High-rise residential buildings are intended to benefit both foreign oil workers and the group of Nigerians who can obtain mortgages or afford to pay cash to live in these luxurious apartments. This is because of their expensive nature.
Most of the families who get apartments in high-rise residential buildings are said to be those that already have houses elsewhere but now need smaller ones. For instance, parents who are in their 50’s or 60’s and have children who no longer live with them. Such people would want an apartment in a high-rise because it’s less stressful to manage, just like living in a hotel where your money does the work.
It is in this vein that Propertydome has decided to take a look at the top 6 expensive high-rise residential buildings in Lagos in 2020.
Eko Court II
This is a 289ft tall high-rise residential building situated at Victoria Island Lagos. It is owned by the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC), the state-owned corporate organization in charge of dealing in real estate. The three towers that make up the Eko court II are arranged in a semicircle making it noticeable. The apartments in the buildings are mostly occupied by blue-collar workers.
A mini flat apartment in the Eko Court is said to cost around N1.5 million naira while a three-bedroom apartment costs N3 million naira. The selling point of these 24 stories high rise building includes beautiful viewing experience, serene area, ample parking space among others. It sits in the middle of Victoria Island close to Silverbird Cinemas and Radisson Blu Hotel.
