Eko Atlantic Builds Iconic Boulevard Gateway To The Business District by Sundahjoe(m): 10:42pm On Jun 27, 2013 |
Work is underway in Eko Atlantic, the new city for Lagos on a spectacular new central Eko Boulevard that will be similar in size to the Champs-Elysees in Paris, or Fifth Avenue in New York. The eight-lane carriageway is the gateway to the Business District of the city and is 2 kilometres long and 60 metres wide. Large diameter concrete storm water drainage pipes have already been laid alongside the boulevard at an average depth of three and a half metres. This infrastructure work will ensure that the carriageway is kept clear of water during heavy rainfall. It is also designed to accommodate run-off water from buildings adjacent to the boulevard. The Business District is spread over some 700,000 square metres of signature development opportunities. It will be developed along the new Eko Boulevard and is made up of high-rise towers, hosting a wide array of local and multinational corporations. http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=626257557384732&id=125406280803198&set=a.510484845628671.125287.125406280803198&refid=17 |

Nice development, its cool seeing the model pictures of the project being actualized so quickly. One thing though, I don't want to sound like an inconsiderate fellow, but I hope land usage laws will be enforced. The model pictures are one thing, what is on ground needs to be comparable to a certain extent. That means no mallam at every corner, no suya guy franchising, no hawkers taking advantage of traffic gridlocks, no loitering, and much more. I hope to see continued development on this project, it looks very exciting. 2 Likes |

Cool to see that work didn't slow down right after the sand filling. I hope they're able to achieve up to 80 percent of its appearance on those 3-D rendered pics of it. We need more projects like this in this Country...With the money stolen by past and present leaders, I'm sure we can afford to develop 5 more cities like this conveniently. |

Yoshi-Master: Personally, I think even those suya and local food vendors can be captured in the master plan. A food center/market of sort can be created, so tourists can have a taste of local delicacies. But it would have to be well planned with high standards for hygiene and what not set from the get go. And for the dreaded "pure water" packs, the best way to tackle that is to have fully functional water system. Most Nigerian cities are littered with pure water packs because govt has failed to provide potable water. Not every one can afford to spend #200 every time they need a drink. There should be clean potable water available. 2 Likes |

Nigeria is going places. Kudos to the good investing climate in Nigeria. |

edoyad: Good idea but not necessarily a market/food center. Few restaurants could be built where local delicacies would be sold there. Also whether there is pure water packs or not does not really matter so long as the maintenance culture is established I think EAC would be fine. Lawma is doing very well in Lagos now and I think they can handle such logistically problem EAC would face in terms of cleaning. All in all there is only so much one can do, a commercial center would still be very difficult to maintain. 2 Likes |

edoyad: Really good idea, and as "alj harem" mentioned it would be nice if they were featured in restaurants. Just imagine being on a British Airways flight to Nigeria, and reading a feature on Eko Atlantic in their High Life Magazine as a great tourist spot. The magazine also highlighting Nigerian delicacies and the restaurants that provide them, that would really be sweet. I really can't fault this project at all. 2 Likes |
