A senior official with the Lagos State Government, who commented on the project, noted that a vision of many years ago is gradually turning into reality. “Almost seven years ago when the former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, conceived the idea of Eko Atlantic City, it looked like a mission impossible. Indeed, to some, it was a mere fantasy. But today, apart from sand-filling of 50 percent of the total land mass allotted for the project, pilling exercise on some plots by subscribersin preparation to the emergence of physical structure is equally ongoing,thus, put paid to the speculation of whether the project is a mirage or a reality”, said the official who pleaded not to be mentioned.
Also last week, during the visit by the President of Lebanon, General Michel Suleiman to Lagos and his brief visit to the Eko Atlantic City site, it was revealed that the first phase of the sand filled portion has been subscribed to, with a sizeable portion of the second phase, also being bought by developers.
Speaking on the project, the Managing Director of Eko Atlantic City, Mr. David Frame, noted that the project is receiving acceptance from subscribers, both individually and corporately.
Frame informed that the developmentis in six phases. “Five phases are for physical development to be sold out to the developers, while the sixth phase would be developed for the infrastructure, facilities and equipments needed for the city.
He hinted that the first phase has been fully exhausted, with only seven plots remaining, while a considerable portion of the second phase has also being subscribed to.
“So far we have succeeded in the sand filling of almost 50 percent of the entire site marked for development. And hopefully, in the next 20 months, most of the subscribers would have commenced real development”, he said, adding that by 2017, 10 million square metres would be fully developed.
Price varies for the scheme. While “land locked” location attracts $1,250per square metres, locations such as “Ocean View’ or “Water Front” goes for $2,500 per square metres.
