The NIGERIA ELEVATION TOWER is a building with a striking helical shape, turning 180 degrees over the course of its height. Each floor is identical in plan, but is set 2.4 degrees clockwise from the floor below, giving the tower a distinctive form by way of an innovative, efficient, repeatable structure. Its shape is pure expression of the relationship between a building’s form and the structural framework that supports it.
Aesthetically, the twisting shape makes the building stand out from the architectural disharmony of the Eko Atlantic, which is largely composed of indistinct towers that do not speak to their location. The tower’s twisting form provides a greater number of units with desirable views of the Eko Atlantic, while also preserving the views for residents living in neighboring buildings, ensuring that NIGERIA ELEVATION TOWER enhances its spectacular waterfront site.
The tower’s structural system is a cast-in-place, high-strength, reinforced-concrete column superstructure. The shape and size of the columns were determined through the use of wind-tunnel testing and three-dimensional computer modeling to analyze building stresses. The building core is a cylindrical concrete form that acts as the central pillar for the tower. As the building ascends, the rotation at each floor occurs around this central mass. The building was constructed using a “jump form” system that takes advantage of its repetitive nature.

Of what importance is this elephant project to the economy and the general populace?

I am surprised at the rate at which some deluded individuals high at the sight of the picture of a supposed economic Eldorado project quote me.

I will point out projects of this nature awarded and started but abandoned after the funds has been siphoned. Projects that cost $13m but couldn't add $7m in return to the economy.

On the other hand, taking a cue from @ANBAKO if the project is being initiated, financed and managed by Private conglomerate, then its a welcomed one. I believe no serious investor would inject money into projects that wouldn't bring PROFIT. Government don't give a damn if it is profitable or not. So, far it could enable them inflate contract sum, its a project for the masses!

Please, read between the lines before jumping at a statement. To whom brain is given, pragmatic reasoning is expected. Thank you.

This is a master piece.

You deserve to be flogged black and blue for that senseless comment

Enemies of progress... Thats a poor mentality, only poor limited people make such statements

Elephant project? This is not a govt project but a private investment.
The investors for this project have done their analysis and know the viability. These are the "simple" things that makes the econom bouyant.

Won't they hire building operators, construction workers, janitorial service providers, facility managers etc.

First utilize all the abandoned sky scrapers in marina na,

useless and senseless projects

spending such money with so much burning issues threatening Nigeria existence is not only daft but foolish,what politicians are after is avenues to make their own money at the expense of the masses,anyone who claps at this is a phool.

Seriously?

Structure that large will boost economy

State?

nonsense. alot of skyscrappers lie abandonded in VI, IKoyi, and marina. many are vacant as no more free money to rent such. yet these ones still wan build more. I blame the banks for always giving these pple loan to waste. Adenuga's Bella place is still abandon after it was seized from him.

What value will this add to the productive capacity of the economy?

Will it house the poor and the homeless,yeye govt

There's a similar tower in Dubai guess that's what inspired this it's really beautiful
, Although OP didn't state who exactly is building it. dunno the need for such waste of money if it's a government project but if it's an organization then they r building a beautiful landmark

...

oh

Cool

Some people will die because of this our Lagos o.

Eko ile.

b

Common good road no de Nigeria, now they want to build this trash, abi people go fly enter the building

.

So much ignorance on this thread. Inspired architectural buildings serves as big source of tourist attractions all over the world.
In addition, instead of going to Dubai more people would rather spend money there. Thus, creating more jobs and investment into the local economy.
You spend money to make money.
