September 9, 2014 | Filed under: Real Estate | Author: Chuka Uroko







Consistent with modern city development, the Centenary City in Enugu, South East Nigeria, is a new lifestyle community where the developer, Private Estate International West Africa, is offering opportunity for residence, commerce, industry and serviced plots of land for sale.

The residential development within the community caters for a wide range of housing needs including entry-level, middle-income, executive, and super-exclusive homes. The community is located around an 18-hole golf course that winds itself around the entire stretch of the development. An additional, exclusive 9-hole golf course is located within the Presidential Park Estate and opens to only residents of this super-exclusive and ultra-secure community.

A 5-star clubhouse and hotel is planned to be the central meeting point for residents in the community. The hotel, to be managed by the Marriot brand, would be located next to a lake and wrapped around the golf course. It will be built as a resort-getaway for business conferences and families desiring a vacation away from their busy daily lives. Other amenities like schools, places of worship, sports facilities, and many others will be provided to make this a self-sustaining city. The community is such that no other city in Nigeria is conceived in this way.

Popularly known as Enugu Lifestyle and Golf City, this facility which occupies a large expanse of land measuring 1,097 hectares, is designed to offer a lifestyle of luxury, serenity and security and the developer estimates that infrastructure and other related cost of developing the city is about $300 million.

A public private partnership between Private Estate and Enugu State government, the Centenary City has recorded significant progress in infrastructure development while several off-takers have commenced construction of their building units.

Kingsley Eze, the MD/CEO of Private Estates International, says the Golf City is the premier lifestyle city in Sub-Saharan Africa, pointing out that it is characterized by breath-taking vintage layout with a fine blend of functionality that connects living with sustainable grandeur.

Cutting edge infrastructural facilities in the lifestyle community include state-of- the- art electronic security system, water treatment plants, steady electricity supply, good roads network with street lightings, drain and walkway, telecommunication facilities, wireless network, recreation park, hospital, nursery, primary, secondary school, shopping mall, Club House, 18-hole golf course, 9-hole golf course, 5-star hotel, security post and fire station.

The city which is located in Independence Layout Phase 2 Enugu along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway, is about five minutes drive from Independence Layout Phase One and eight minutes drive from Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.

Have they commenced construction of the units, or is this an old report?
